ML19057A093 Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2019-002 During the weeks of March 18 - 22, 2019 and April 8 - 12, 2019, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 (NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, 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 all of 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 March 8, 2019.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Jonathan Rivera at 404-997-4646, or Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Brian Bonser, at 404-997-4653.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 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 Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html.

Lead Inspector: Jonathan Rivera Health Physicist U.S. NRC Region II 404-997-4646 Jonathan.Rivera@nrc.gov Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. We would prefer as much of the information as possible on electronic media (CD) if readily available. An index to the CD contents is also helpful. Note that the inspectors cannot accept data provided on USB or flash drives due to NRC IT security policies. Please organize the information as it is arranged below to the extent possible. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection, and places additional burden on licensee staff.
Pay particular 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.
