Dear Mr. Lynch:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II staff will conduct a component design bases inspection (CDBI) at your Farley Nuclear
Plant, Units 1, and 2 during the weeks of May 5 - 9, May 19 - 23, and June 2 - 6, 2014. Tonya
Lighty, a Project Engineer from the NRCs Region II Office, will lead the inspection team. This
inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure, Procedure
71111.21, Component Design Bases Inspection, issued November 29, 2013.
The inspection will evaluate the capability of risk-significant / low margin components to function
as designed and to support proper system operation. The inspection will also include a review
of selected operator actions, operating experience, and modifications.
During a telephone conversation on December 13, 2013, Ms. Lighty confirmed with William
Arens of your staff, arrangements for an information-gathering site visit and the three-week
onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:
- Information-gathering visit: Week of April 7 - 11, 2014
- Onsite weeks: May 5 - 9, May 19 - 23, and June 2 - 6, 2014
The purpose of the information-gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify
risk-significant components and operator actions. Information and documentation needed to
support the inspection will also be identified. Mr. George MacDonald, a Region II Senior
Reactor Analyst, will support Ms. Lighty during the information-gathering visit to review
probabilistic risk assessment data and identify risk-significant components, which will be
examined during the inspection.
The enclosure lists documents needed prior to the information-gathering visit. Please provide
the referenced information to the Region II Office by March 14, 2014.
T.A. Lynch 2
Additional documents will be requested during the information-gathering visit. The inspectors
will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents
required for inspection preparation. The additional information should be available to the team
in the Region II Office prior to the inspection teams preparation week of April 28, 2014.
Ms. Lighty will also discuss the following inspection support administrative details:
(1) availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of
contact during the inspection, (2) method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection,
(3) licensee computer access, (4) working space, (5) arrangements for site access, and (6)
other applicable information.
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 electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, regarding the
information requested or the inspection, please contact Ms. Lighty at 404-997-4565 or contact
me at 404-997-4530.
