Tom, As indicated in the voice mail I recorded for you today, here is (attached) the Document Request Letter for Brunswick upcoming RP inspection (April 3 7, 2023).

Feel free to contact me if there is any question.

Respectfully, José José M. Díaz Vélez, Sr. Health Physicist Division of Reactor Safety Engineering Branch 3 Jose.diaz@nrc.gov 4049974736 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II Office Marquis One Tower 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE Suite 1200 Atlanta, Georgia 303031257 1

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2023002 During the week of April 3-7, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151).

To minimize the impact to your onsite resources during the inspection and ensure the inspectors have the necessary information to complete the inspection while on site, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this activity. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than March 20, 2023.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, José M. Díaz-Vélez at 404-997-4736, or the Engineering Branch 3 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/readingrm/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.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement, unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

Thomas Sherrill (910) 832-2703 thomas.sherrill3@duke-energy.com Docket Number: 05000324 and 05000325 Inspection Dates: April 3 - 7, 2023 Documents Due to Region II by: March 20, 2023 NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs):

71124.04 - Occupational Dose Assessment 71124.05 - Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation 71151 - Performance Indicator Verification Note: Please provide the current version of these documents in an electronic format if possible (The preferred file format is MSWord, or searchable .pdf files). To the extent possible, please organize the information in directories as requested below and if possible, use a descriptive name for the files provided. Recent experience has demonstrated the most efficient method to transfer this information to the NRC is via Certrec. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or method of transfer, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Documentation for inspection procedures 71124.04, and 71124.5 should be from April 1, 2021, to present. Documentation for inspection procedures 71151 should be from February 1, 2022 to present. These dates are approximate to the last time these inspections were conducted. Also, provide only a listing and title for NCRs requested for each inspection procedure and inspectors will select a sample from these for in-depth review during the inspection.

If you have any questions, please call José M. Díaz-Vélez at 404-997-4736. Thank you in advance for your effort in putting together this material.
