Inspection Document Request for NRC Inspection at NFS The following is a broad list of documents the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors are interested in reviewing prior to the on-site inspection visit. Typically, we arrange an electronic repository/reading room called BOX for such requests. But, we realize many documents requested could be classified. Moreover, even if not classified, a labor-intensive review must be performed by licensee personnel to verify no classified information is contained within an unclassified document.

Hence, we request a list (or listing) of the current version of the documents below to be uploaded into BOX in either Microsoft Word format or searchable .pdf files.

The documents provided in response to this request should contain sufficient information to facilitate the selection of specific inspection samples. For example, for any procedure it would be very useful to have the procedure number, the procedure title, and the revision/version number. In the past, just submitting a list of procedure numbers did not provide us with sufficient information.

Some of the information requested may not apply to the facility. The licensee is not required to provide documents that are already available in ADAMS. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the information requested, please contact the NRC inspection team lead.
