Lead Inspector:

Jonathan Rivera Health Physicist 404-997-4646 jonathan.rivera@nrc.gov Note: Please provide the current version of these documents in an electronic format if possible (The preferred file format is MSWord, or searchable.pdf files). To the extent possible, please organize the information in directories and use descriptive names for the files. Recent experience has demonstrated the most efficient method to transfer this information to the NRC is via Certrec. It is best to upload all the requested information in one large zip file. If there are

questions regarding the documents requested, or method of transfer, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
