SUBJECT:
CATAWBA STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF TARGET SET
INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 05000413/2024402 AND 05000414/2024402)
Dear Nicole Flippin,
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II (RII) staff will conduct an inspection of the Target Sets specified by the conditions of
your operating license at the Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1, 2 on September 17-19, 2024.
The inspection team will be led by Mr. Larry J. Jones Jr., Reactor Inspector, of the NRC RII
office. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.14,
Review of Power Reactor Target Sets, and effective as of March 9, 2023.
On August 21, 2024, during communications between The Site Security Manager of your staff,
and Mr. Larry J Jones, NRC RII, our respective staff, confirmed arrangements for a three-day
onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:
Onsite inspection: September 17 - 19, 2024
Mr. Jones will be onsite for three days during the week and will arrive on Monday, September
16, 2024. That first day will be a travel and preparation time to review SGI material. The next
day he will conduct an entrance meeting and exit the following Thursday morning, unless there
is an emergent issue which would either delay the exit or be cause for it to take place over the
phone. Due to the security related nature of the inspection, we request a conference room that
is SGI accessible.
In order to complete the inspection in the time allotted, Mr. Jones needs to review your target
sets program references and other pertinent documents prior to the inspection. Please provide
the documents below via CERTREC to Mr. Jones by September 12, 2024.
Please indicate how you would like our staff to dispose of any NON-SGI documents after we
have completed our review. Mr. Jones plans to only review SGI material onsite in your secure
spaces.
The types of documents the team will be reviewing during conduct of the inspection are listed
below. Please contact Mr. Jones at (404) 997-4837 prior to preparing copies and sending the
files. The inspection team will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically
identifying those documents required for inspection preparation.

request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

enclosures will not be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
