SUBJECT:
WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Shea:
On August 13-17, 2012, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07, 71124.08, and Radiation Safety Sections of 71151). Additionally, on September 10-14, 2012, the NRC will perform the outage portion of the inspection using NRC Inspection procedure 71124.01.
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 July 23, 2012.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Tommy Morgan of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Ruben Hamilton at (404) 997-4672, or the Chief of Plant Support Branch 1, Brian Bonser at (404) 997-4653.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response, if any, will be available electronically for public inspection in the
J. Shea 2 NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

5 Assistance Requested During On-Site Inspection
- An inspector will need to accompany the weekly environmental sample collection run.
- An inspector will need to tour the Meteorological Tower and will need to be able to discuss reliability and data recovery issues.
- An inspector will need to observe effluent sample collection and walk-down and discuss effluent monitors and processing.
- An inspector will need to observe any shipments or receipts of radioactive material.
