Mr. Mano Nazar

Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer

Florida Power and Light Company

P.O. Box 14000

Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420

SUBJECT: TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Nazar

On December 10-14, 2012, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at your

Plant Turkey Point site (NRC Inspection Procedures IP71124.01, IP71124.08 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 on-site 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 inspector has requested that the subject informational material be provided

in CD format on or before November 29, 2012.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand

that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Stavroula Mihalake of your

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector, George B. Kuzo at (404) 997-4658 or the Chief of Plant Support

Branch 1, Brian Bonser at (404) 997-4653.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, 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 (PARS) component of NRC's document system

(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-

rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

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

M. Nazar 2

3150-0044, 3150-0014, 3150-0011, and 3150-0008. 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/

Note: This is a broad list of the documents the NRC inspectors will be interested in obtaining

and reviewing prior to the on-site inspection visit. The current version of these documents is

expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic media is preferred, if readily available. (The

preferred file format is Word or searchable pdf files on CDROM. Please provide two copies of

each electronic media device submitted.) Information in the document lists should contain

enough information to be easily understood by someone who has a knowledge of the subject.

The lead inspector can answer questions regarding questions on specific information needs with

licensee staff and may request additional documents.
