WILLIAM B. McGUIRE NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Capps,

During the week of June 5 - 9, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the McGuire Nuclear Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07, 71134.08 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 have enclosed a request for 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 May 26, 2017.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Joseph Hussey, Regulatory Affairs, of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Carmen Dykes at 404-997-1401, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser at 404-997-4653.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this letter, and its Enclosure, will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers

S. Capps 2 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement, unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Brian R. Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370 License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17
