Harris RP Inspection In October 2022 Date: Thursday, August 25, 2022 7:33:00 AM Attachments: HARRIS 2022-004 RFI.pdf

Sarah, Per our previous correspondence, you will be the Harris Licensing point of contact for the upcoming Radiation Safety Inspection beginning in October 2022.

Attached is the Request for Information for the inspection. The request includes a list of the documents we routinely request for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151. If you plan to upload the requested documents to CERTREC, using software to zip the numerous files into a single file prior to upload has proven to be very efficient.

The current plan is to be onsite the weeks of October 17-21 and October 31 - November 4, 2022. As of now, Jose Diaz, Adam Nielsen, Doug Berkshire, and I will be the inspectors coming onsite. Adam, Doug, and I will be onsite the first week. Jose, Doug, and I will be onsite the second week. Doug is in training so all of his time will not be charged to the site.

Depending on how things evolve, and if work travel is limited due to COVID-19, we may have to pursue some combination of partial, remote, or reduced on-site inspection time to complete the inspection activities. Please update me if Duke or Harris decides to modify, reduce, or limit onsite access. I will you let you know if I receive any information on restriction of travel from NRC management.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards, Bob Robert Kellner Senior Health Physicist USNRC/Region II/DRS/EB3 Marquis One Tower Suite 1200 245 Peachtree Center Ave, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 (404) 997-4508

Harris Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2022004 During the weeks of October 17 - 21 and October 31 - November 4, 2022, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151).

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. To minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we are requesting in advance documents needed for this activity. It is important that all these documents are up-to-date, and complete, thereby minimizing the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than October 3, 2022.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at 404-997-4508, or the Engineering Branch 3 Branch Chief, Binoy Desai, at 404-997-4519.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this document will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading- rm/adams.html.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This document does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135.

Secure file server access (Certrec, SharePoint, etc.), or electronic media (CD/DVD), is preferred. To the extent possible, please organize the information as it is arranged below. Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. To the extent possible, please organize the information as it is arranged below. Pay attention to the date ranges for the items requested as they may change from item to item. Please redact all PII in any records submitted. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Documentation is requested from May 1, 2021 to present for IPs 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, and 71124.05. Documentation for IP 71151 is requested from March 1, 2021 to present. We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index of the files is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspector will select documents/areas from the list for on-site review.
