JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT- NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

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 problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the weeks of November 4-8 and 18-22, 2013. The inspection will be led by Mr. Rodney Clagg, a Resident Inspector from the North Anna Power Station. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure, Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, issued August 13, 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.

In addition, the team will utilize Procedure 92702, Followup on Traditional Enforcement Actions Including Violations, issued January 10, 2008 to verify the adequacy of your corrective actions in response to VIO 05000364/2013009-01 (EA-12-240), Deliberate Failure to Conduct Fire Watches.

On September 5, 2013, Mr. Clagg confirmed, with Ms. Lisa Hogg of your staff, arrangements for an information gathering site visit and the two-week onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:

Information gathering visit: October 23-24, 2013 Inspection team preparation week: October 28 - November 1, 2013 Onsite weeks: November 4-8 and 18-22, 2013

The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to define the scope of the inspection. Any additional information and documentation needed to support the inspection may also be identified at this time.

T. Lynch 2 The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the information gathering visit. Please have the referenced information available prior to October 23, 2013. Contact Mr. Clagg 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. Clagg 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.

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. Rodney Clagg at (540) 894-5421.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Manuel Crespo, Acting Chief Reactor Projects Branch 7 Division of Reactor Projects
