Upcoming NCS Inspection Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2022 1:58:00 PM Attachments: 2023-001 GNF NCS Document Request.docx

Phil, Lon,

Ill be conducting a nuclear criticality safety at your facility during the week of January 30, 2023. Which will use Inspection Procedure 88015, Nuclear Criticality Safety. As you know, Ill also be following up with the recent event involving the sinter test grinder (EN56256).

Currently Im the only one scheduled for that inspection.

Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to conduct a productive inspection, I have attached a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date, complete, and ready for the inspectors upon arrival at the facility.Please also let me know if I need to complete any site access training or take other actions.

If possible, an entrance meeting should be scheduled for 14:00 on Monday the 30th. Id also like to schedule a remote exit meeting on Friday the 3rd.If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, particularly in the you find the request unclear or unduly burdensome, please contact me by email, or at 404-997-4525.

Thank you. - Tim.
