UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 March 26, 2014 Scott Batson Vice President, Oconee Nuclear Station Duke Energy Corporation 7800 Rochester Highway Seneca, SC 29672
SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Batson:
From June 16 - 20, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Occupational and Public Radiation Safety inspection at the Oconee Nuclear Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.06, Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment; and 71124.07, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program). 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 have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Judy Smith 864-885-4309 of your organization. The inspector has requested that the subject material be made available to the NRC staff by May 30, 2014. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector Wade Loo at 404-997-4727 (wade.loo@nrc.gov).
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs 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

50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 Inspection Dates:
June 16 - 20, 2014 Inspection Procedures to be performed:
71124.06 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment 71124.07 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Documentation is requested from August 2012 to the present for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.06 and 71124.07.
We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index to the CD or shared drive contents is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspectors will select documents/areas from the list for onsite review. If any of the requested information is too burdensome to provide electronically or as hard copies, simply indicate that the requested material is available for onsite review by the inspectors.
If you have any questions, please call Wade Loo at 404-997-4727. Thank you in advance for all of your efforts in putting together this material.
