Dear Mr. Christian:
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 North Anna Power Station during the weeks of January 12 - 16 and February 2 - 6, 2009. The inspection team will be led by Daniel Merzke, a Senior Project Engineer from the NRC's Region
II office. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure, Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems Inspection, issued January 10, 2008.
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.
During a telephone conversation on October 29, 2008, Mr. Merzke confirmed with Mr. Jay
Leberstien of your staff, arrangements for an information gathering site visit and the two-week onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:
- Information gathering visit: December 9 - 10, 2008
- Onsite weeks: January 12 - 16 and February 2 - 6, 2009
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to define the scope of the inspection. Information and documentation needed to support the inspection will also be identified.
The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the information gathering visit. Please have the referenced information available prior to December 9, 2008. Contact Mr. Merzke 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.
VEPCO 2 Additional documents will be requested during the information gathering visit. The additional information will need to be made available to the team in the Region II office prior to the inspection team's preparation week of January 5, 2009. Mr. Merzke will also discuss 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).
