==SUBJECT:== | |||
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 05000413 AND 05000414 | |||
==Dear Mr. Henderson:== | |||
From January 28 - February 1, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform the baseline Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection at the Catawba Nuclear Station for NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07 and 71151. 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 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 Paul Simbrat at (803) 701-3424 of your organization, and that the material be available for review by January 11, 2013. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Wade Loo at (404) 997-4727. | |||
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 number 3150-0011. 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. | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electr onically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document K. Henderson 2 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system(ADAMS). ADAMS is acce ssible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). | |||
