SUBJECT:

VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Taber:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region II staff will conduct a problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 during the weeks of March 16 - 20, 2015, and March 30 - April 3, 2015. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Wesley Deschaine, the NRC's Resident Inspector at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure (IP) 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution,

effective date January 31, 2013.

The biennial PI&R inspection and assessment of the licensee's Corrective Action Program (CAP) complements and expands upon the resident baseline inspections of routine daily screening of all corrective action program issues, quarterly focused issue reviews, and

semiannual trend PI&R reviews.

On January 9, 2015, Mr. Deschaine confirmed with Ms. Karen Morrow of your staff, arrangements for the two-week onsite inspection.

The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection. Please have the referenced information available no later than March 2, 2015. Contact Mr. Deschaine with any questions concerning the requested information. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.

If additional documents are needed, they will be requested when identified. Prior to the onsite inspection, Mr. Deschaine will discuss with your staff the following inspection support administrative details: availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection; method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection; access to licensee computers; working space; arrangements for site access; and

other applicable information.

B. Taber 2 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 document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site 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 Mr. Deschaine at (423) 842-8001.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Anthony D. Masters, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 7 Division of Reactor Projects
