BRU 2020002 RFI Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Information Request.pdf

Tom, Thank you for confirming that will be the point of contact for the upcoming scheduled Radiation Safety Inspection at Brunswick.

Attached is the Request for Information for the upcoming RP inspection. The request includes a list of the documents we normally would request for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.06, 71124.07, and the Public portion of IP 71151. As of now, Jose Diaz and I are the two inspectors scheduled to complete this inspection.

Given the current Duke policy of non-essential personnel only, and the uncertainty of future NRC travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, I dont know if we will be able to be on-site to complete the inspection. Depending on how things evolve, and if COVID-19 work and travel limitations are relaxed, we may pursue some combination of partial, remote, or reduced on-site inspection time to complete the inspection activities. If you can update me when Brunswick is willing to allow reduced, or limited, on-site inspection I would appreciate it. I will you let you know as soon as I receive any specific travel guidance from NRC management.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards, Bob Robert Kellner, Senior Health Physicist USNRC/R-II/DRS/EB3 Marquis One Tower, Suite 1200 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 (404) 997-4508 / Robert.Kellner@nrc.gov

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2020002 During the week of June 15 - 19, 2020, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07, and 71151).

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 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 June 5, 2020.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner, at Robert.Kellner@nrc.gov, or 404-997-4508, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 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 Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT 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, control number 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION 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.

Robert Kellner U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Senior Health Physicist Region II US NRC Region II ATTN: Robert Kellner (404) 997-4508 245 Peachtree Center Ave., N.E Robert.Kellner@nrc.gov Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Secure file server access (Certrec, SharePoint, etc.), or electronic media (CD/DVD), is preferred. To the extent possible, please organize the information as it is arranged below. Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector. To the extent possible, please organize the information as it is arranged below. Pay attention to the date ranges for the items requested as they may change from item to item. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Documentation for these inspection procedures, are requested from June 1, 2018 to present, unless otherwise specified. Pay attention to the date ranges for the items requested as they may change from item to item. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspector will select documents/areas from the list for on-site review. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than June 5, 2020.
