Surry NRC RP Inspection - May 2023 Date: Thursday, February 2, 2023 4:00:00 PM Attachments: SUR 2023002 RP Document Request List.pdf

Johnnie,

From previous correspondence with Steve Newman of your licensing staff, you will be the point of contact for the upcoming NRC Radiation Safety Inspection at Surry in May of 2023.

Attached is a list of documents and information requested for the inspection. The request includes a list of the documents we routinely request for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.08, 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. Also, keeping file names short but descriptive, and organizing the information as it is in the document request, is very helpful.

As of right now, Jack Bell and I will be the inspectors of record coming onsite. I would appreciate if you would let me know if Surry has any COVID-19 restrictions in place, and/ or there are changes between now and the inspection dates.. If I receive any information on restriction of travel from NRC management, I will you let you know.

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

Surry Power Station

Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2023 002

During the week of May 1 - May 5, 2023, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Surry Power Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08, and 71151).

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order 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 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 April 20, 2023.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at Robert.Kellner@nrc.gov, at 404 -997-4 508, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4 519.

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.

Note: Current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. 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.
