SUBJECT:

RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION - VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT

Dear Mr. Tynan:

During the week of September 28 - October 2, 2009, the NRC will perform a baseline radiation safety inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) consisting of NRC Inspection Procedures 71121.01, Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas, and 71151, Performance Indicator Verification for the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone. Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this activity. We request that the documents be copied to electronic media, to the extent practical, and mailed to the NRC Region II office on or before September 18, 2009.

During the week of October 5 - 9, 2009, the NRC will perform Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/173, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Ground Water Protection Voluntary Initiative. A document request for this TI is included in the enclosure; however the documents can be made available for onsite review and do not need to be included on the electronic media.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mukut Sharma of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen, at (404) 562-4660, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser, at (404) 562-4653.

SNC 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).

Sincerely, /RA/ Brian Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos.: 50-424/425 License Nos.: NPF-68/81 cc w/encl: (See Page 3)
