- Get the right people involved (Procurement Engineering).
- First time inspecting these areas, so it could be the first time many staff are interacting with the NRC. Also, could be the first time licensing/regulatory affairs licensee staff interact with procurement engineering.
- Early, clear communication between the NRC inspection team and licensee staff is essential.

If you arent sure what the NRC is looking for, ask the NRC inspectors.

Everyone benefits when we all understand what the NRC is looking for.
