January 20, 2006 Carolina Power and Light Company ATTN: Mr. J. Scarola Vice President Brunswick Steam Electric Plant P. O. Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461

SUBJECT:

BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Scarola:

On March 6, 2006, the NRC will begin the baseline inservice inspection (NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.08) at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Unit 1.

Experience has shown that this inspection will be resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group (Group A) identifies information necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared. The second group (Group B) identifies information the inspector will need upon arrival at the site. 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 portion 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 William Murray, of your licensing organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the assigned inspector Tomy Nazario at (404) 562-4710.

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 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
