SUBJECT:

FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1&2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear R. Keith Brown:

By letter dated March 30, 2023, (ADAMS ML23089A399), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) communicated to you the final significance determination of a greater than green finding at Farley Nuclear Plant.

By letter dated July 26, 2023, (ADAMS ML23207A131), we were notified by your staff of Farley Nuclear Plants readiness for the NRC to conduct a supplemental inspection to review the actions taken to address the greater than green finding. Accordingly, we plan to conduct a supplemental inspection, beginning on August 28, 2023, at Farley Nuclear Plant. This on-site inspection is scheduled to be performed August 28 through September 1, 2023.

In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.

The inspectors will need these documents prior to and upon their arrival on site. It is important that the documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the on-site portion of the inspection. To the extent possible, please organize the information as specified in the request for information (RFI). Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. Secure file server access such as Certrec or SharePoint is preferred. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. If there are questions regarding the documents or material requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector, Jonathan Brown, at (678) 559.5608. We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Gene Surber, Site Regulatory Affairs Licensing Manager, of your organization.
