UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II SAM NUNN ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER 61 FORSYTH STREET, SW, SUITE 23T85 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8931 December 11, 2008 Mr. Thomas D. Walt Vice President Carolina Power and Light Company H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 3581 West Entrance Road Hartsville, SC 29550

SUBJECT:

H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Walt:

During the period of January 12 - 16, 2009, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The inspection will focus on the Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71121.03, 71122.01, and 71122.03.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to conduct a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The lead inspector has requested that the subject informational material be made available to the NRC staff by January 5, 2009, to allow preparation for the upcoming inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Garret Sanders 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) 562-4658.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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).

CP&L 2 ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA W. Loo for/
