We would like to have the documents available by October 6, 2023. However, if you run into difficulty and need more time for certain items, just let us know and we can work with you.

The inspectors will be myself and Jonathan Rivera. We should both have access to the site.

Please call or email me if you have any questions.

Farley Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2023004 During the week of October 16 - 20, 2023, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Farley Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08, 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 October 6, 2023.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Jack Bell at 404-997-4638, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.

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/reading-rm/adams.html.
