UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 January 24, 2013 Mr. Michael J. Annacone Vice President Brunswick Steam Electric Plant P.O. Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461-0429
SUBJECT:
BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT 2 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Annacone:
From March 11 - March 15, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform the baseline inservice inspection (ISI) at the Brunswick Electric Generating Plant , Unit 2, in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.08. 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 inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group (Section A of the enclosure) identifies information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspectors are adequately prepared. The second group (Section B of the enclosure) identifies the information the inspectors will need upon arrival at the site. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Bill Murray of your organization. Our inspection dates are subject to change based on your updated schedule of outage activities. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Abhijit Sengupta at (404) 997-4430 (Abhijit.Sengupta@nrc.gov).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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,
M. Annacone 2 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/
