EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM INSPECTION REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Emergency Preparedness program 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) 71114.02, Alert and Notification System Testing; 71114.03, Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System; 71114.04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes; 71114.05, Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness; and Emergency Preparedness sections of 71151 Performance Indicator Verification.
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.
