SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Lynch:

From February 18 - 22, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Emergency Preparedness inspection at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures 71114.02 - Alert and Notification System (ANS) Evaluation, 71114.03 - Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Staffing and Augmentation System, 71114.05 - Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness, and the Emergency Preparedness Sections of 71151, Performance Indicator Verification.

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 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.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Bill Arens of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Mark E. Speck at (404) 997-4759 (Mark.Speck@nrc.gov) or the Chief, 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

Sincerely,

/RA/
