December NCS Inspection Date: Thursday, November 9, 2023 9:58:00 AM Attachments: 2023-004 NFS NCS Document Request.docx Nick, Thomas, This email is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II staff will conduct a nuclear criticality safety inspection at your facility during the week of December 11, 2023. The inspection will focus on the core inspection procedures described in Inspection Manual Chapter 2600; and will use Inspection Procedure 88015, Nuclear Criticality Safety. The inspectors will be myself and Nicholas Peterka. Currently no in-training inspectors are planned to accompany us. If that changes, I will let you know.

Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to conduct a productive inspection, I have attached a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date, complete, and ready for the inspectors upon arrival at the facility. Please also let us know if Nick or I need to complete site access training, badging or take other actions before or upon arrival at your site.

If possible, an entrance meeting should be scheduled for 14:00 on Monday, with an exit meeting at 16:00 on Thursday. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, particularly in the you find the request unclear or unduly burdensome, please contact me by email, or at 404-997-4525.

Thank you. - Tim.
