60855 - OPERATION OF AN INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION

Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (1 Sample)

From May 3 through 10, 2021, the inspectors performed a review of the licensees ISFSI

activities to verify compliance with regulatory requirements. During the on-site inspection, the

inspectors observed and reviewed licensee activities in each of the five safety focus areas

including occupational exposure, public exposure, fuel damage, confinement, and impact to

plant operations.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed

personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and

regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. Additionally, the inspectors

performed independent walkdowns of the heavy load lifting equipment and the ISFSI haul path.

The inspector also performed an independent radiation survey of the ISFSI pad.

INSPECTION RESULTS

No findings were identified.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On May 10, 2021, the inspectors presented the results to Sonny Dean, Site Vice President and
