SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Lynch:

On January 14 - 18, 2013, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Farley Nuclear Plant, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.06, 71124.07, and Radiation Safety Sections of 71151). Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimiz e the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, 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

January 4, 2013.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Bill Arens of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Wade Loo at (404) 997-4727 or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser at (404) 997-

4653.

This letter 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 number 3150-0011. 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

T. A. Lynch 2 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov. Sincerely, /RA/

Brian Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety

Inspection Dates: January 14 - 18, 2013

Inspection Procedures: IP 71124.06 Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment IP 71124.07 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program IP 71151 Performance Indicator Verification Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic media is preferred if readily available (The preferred file format is Word, or searchable ".pdf" files on CDROM). 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. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
