EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Madison:

This letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II staff will conduct a biennial problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Edwin I.

Hatch Nuclear Plant during the weeks of September 16 - 20 and September 30 - Ocober 4, 2013. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. This inspection 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.

The inspection team will be led by Mr. Jeff Sowa. Mr. Sowa confirmed with Mr. Steve Tipps, of your staff, the arrangements for the two-week onsite inspection. Prior to the onsite inspection, Mr. Sowa will discuss with your staff the following inspection support details: availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact; method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection; access to licensee computers; working space; arrangements for site access; and other applicable information.

The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection. Please have the

referenced information available no later than September 2, 2013. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.

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).

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the information requested or the inspection, please contact Mr. Sowa at (404) 997-4575.

Sincerely,

/RA/
