Upcoming January NCS Inspection Attachments:
2022-001 BWXT NCS Document Request.docx
- Chris, The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II staff will conduct a nuclear criticality safety inspection at your facility during the week of January 24, 2022. The inspection will focus on the core inspection procedures described in Inspection Manual Chapter 2600; and will use Inspection Procedure 88015, Nuclear Criticality Safety. The inspectors will be myself, and Nicholas Peterka.
Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to conduct a productive inspection, I have attached a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date, complete, and ready for the inspectors upon arrival at the facility.
If possible, an entrance meeting should be schedule for 14:00 on Monday the 24th, with an exit meeting at 16:00 on Thursday the 27th. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, particularly in the you find the request unclear or unduly burdensome, please contact me by email, or at 404-997-4525.
Thank you. - Tim.
