Document request for upcoming RP inspection Date: Friday, February 25, 2022 10:22:00 AM Attachments: WB_2022-02_RP_Doc_Request.pdf

Please see the attached document request for our baseline RP inspection scheduled for April 11 - April 15. This inspection will also cover the radiation safety aspects of your steam generator replacement activities.

We would like to have the information available for review by April 1 if possible. If you have any questions, please contact me via email or at (404) 997-4660.

Thanks, Adam Nielsen Sr. Health Physicist US NRC Region II Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2022 002

During the week of April 11 - April 15, 2022, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08,

and 71151). In addition to the baseline inspection, the NRC will evaluate the radiation safety aspects of steam generator replacement activities dur ing the 2R4 refueling outage using Inspection Procedure 50001.

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 are requesting in advance 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 NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than April 1, 2022.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen at 404-997-4660, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this document will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
