SUBJECT:
FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 & 2 - NOTIFICATION OF TARGET SET
INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT NO. 05000348/2025404 AND 05000364/2025404)
Dear Edwin Dean:
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 Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2 on July 15 - 17, 2025. The
inspection team will be led by Mr. William Monk, Sr. Reactor Inspector, and Mr. Roland
Womack, Sr. Physical Security Inspector both from 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 April 17, 2025, during communications between Mr. Gene Surber of your staff, and Mr.
William Monk, NRC RII, our respective staff, confirmed arrangements for a three-day onsite
inspection. The schedule is as follows:
Onsite preparation / SGI review: July 15, 2025
Onsite inspection: July 16 - 17, 2025
William Monk and Roland Womack (Observing Inspector) will be onsite for three days during
the week and will arrive the morning of Tuesday July 15, 2025. The first day will be
preparation time to review SGI material onsite. The following day the team will conduct an
entrance meeting at the sites request in the morning and exit meeting the following Thursday
afternoon, 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. Monk needs to review your non-
SGI target sets program references and other pertinent documents prior to the inspection.
Please provide the non-SGI documents listed below via email or CERTREC upload by June
27, 2025.

documents the team will be reviewing during the conduct of the inspection are listed below.
Please contact Mr. Monk at (404) 997-4579 prior to preparing copies and sending/uploading the
