Attachment McGuire Nuclear Station Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report 2018004 During the weeks of September 24-28 and October 15-19, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at McGuire Nuclear Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05 and the Radiation Safety Sections of 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 August 31, 2018.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Carmen Dykes at Carmen.Dykes@nrc.gov or 404-997-1401, or the Engineering Branch 3 Branch Chief, Brian Bonser, at 404-997-4653.
