HAT RP 2020001 Baseline Doc Request.pdf Gentlemen. Attached is the information request for the upcoming NRC RP Baseline inspection to be conducted the week of February 10, 2020. I have already spoken with Colleen and Jimmy. The two NRC inspectors are myself and Jose Diaz barring any unforeseen changes. The inspection will be documented in the resident inspectors 1st quarter report.
Please let me know that you received this request via phone or email. Also, if you have any questions or need clarification on any of the information requested, do not hesitate to contact me.
If the information is put into one large Zip file on Certrec, we can access and download all the files using Certrec fairly easily. If you have any questions, give me a call.

E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2020001 During the week of February 10 - 14, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Hatch Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08 & 71151).
To minimize the impact to your onsite resources during the inspection and ensure the inspectors have the necessary information to complete the inspection while on site, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this activity. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than February 3, 2020.
If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, William Pursley at 404-997-4517, 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.

Note: Please provide the current version of these documents in an electronic format if possible (The preferred file format is MSWord, or searchable.pdf files). To the extent possible, please organize the information in directories as requested below. Recent experience has demonstrated that Certrac is the most efficient method to transfer this information to the NRC. is via Certrec. It is best to upload all the requested information in one large zip file. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or method of transfer, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
Documents requested for IPs 71124.01 and 71151 should be from January 1, 2019.
Documentation for IP 71124.08 should be from January 31, 2018. These dates are approximate to the last time these inspections were conducted.
If you have any questions, please call William Pursley at (404) 997-4517. Thank you in advance for your effort in putting together this material.
