Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2026002 During the week of April 6 - 10, 2026, the NRC will perform a baseline radiation safety inspection and a follow-up inspection for Notice of Violation EAF-RII-2025-0138 at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.05 and 92702).
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.

The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than March 27, 2026.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen at 404-997-4660.
