SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000305/2015004(DNMS); 07200064/2015002(DNMS) - KEWAUNEE POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On August 10, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities related to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) from October 27, 2015, to August 10, 2016, at the permanently shut down Kewaunee Power Station in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether ISFSI activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which were discussed with Mr. S. Yuen and other members of your staff on August 10, 2016.
During the inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the preoperational testing of the
ISFSI and the associated evaluations for using an NRC-approved cask design onsite for the first time. The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the site as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations. Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, observation of work activities, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC identified one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into your Corrective Action Program, the NRC is treating the issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy.
No response is required for the NCV. However, if you contest this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,"
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's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Managem ent System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC's website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
