Hatch RP Inspection Document Request - May 2018 Date: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 7:03:00 AM Attachments: Hatch_2018002 Eff & REMP Information and Document Request.pdf

Jimmy, Unless there has been a change since we were on-site in February, I presume you will be the licensing point of contact for the upcoming NRC Radiation Safety Inspection scheduled for the week of May 21 - 25, 2018 at the Hatch Nuclear Plant. Attached is the Initial Information Request and a Document Request List.

The NRC inspectors who will be on-site during the inspection are myself, and William Pursley. Both of us should still be up to date on our Southern Company site access training.

Please let me know that you received this request. If there are any questions about this inspection, or the material requested, please contact me via email, by phone number, or at the address included below.

Regards, Bob Robert Kellner Senior Health Physicist USNRC/Region II/DRS/EB3 Marquis One Tower Suite 1200 245 Peachtree Center Ave, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 (404) 997-4508

Hatch Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2018002 During the week of May 21 - 25, 2018, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Hatch Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07 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 May 11, 2018.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at 404-997-4508, or the Plant Support Branch 1 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/reading-rm/adams.html.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This document does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement, unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

Electronic media is preferred if readily available. [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. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. 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.

Documentation for these inspection procedures, are requested from June 1, 2016 to the present, unless otherwise noted. This reflects the last time these areas were inspected. We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index of the CD contents is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspector will select documents/areas from the list for on-site review.
