Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2024001 During the week of February 19 - 23, 2024, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08, and 71151).

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we are requesting in advance documents needed for this activity. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, thereby minimizing the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than February 9, 2024.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen at 404-997-4660, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.
