EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE INSPECTION REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Emergency Preparedness exercise inspection at your facility during the period listed in Attachment 1. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71114.01, Exercise Evaluation; 71114.04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes; 71114.07, Exercise Evaluation - Hostile Action (HA)
Event (see
- in Attachment 2); and the Emergency Preparedness sections of 71151, Performance Indicator Verification. Prior to the onsite inspection period, inspectors will review the proposed exercise scenario using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review.
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 have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection (Attachment 2). It is important that these documents are up-to-date and complete, to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.
If there is a need to revise your scheduled dates, or questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Steven Sanchez at 404-997-4418 (Steven.Sanchez@nrc.gov), or the Operations Branch 2 Branch Chief, Eugene Guthrie at 404-997-4662 (Eugene.Guthrie@nrc.gov).
This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, and Requests for Withholding.
