UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION May 19, 2014
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000295/2014007(DNMS); 05000304/2014007(DNMS);
07201037/2014001(DNMS) - ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Sauger:
On March 14, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for the first calendar quarter of 2014 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Power Station in Zion, Illinois. The inspection continued with in-office review through April 24, 2014. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which were discussed with you and others of your staff on April 24, 2014.
During the quarterly inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the licensees execution of the site decommissioning project focusing on spent fuel transfer operations including initial cask loading and placement on the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) pad, aspects of the occupational radiation exposure control program, and implementation of the corrective action program. Also, the inspectors reviewed the licensees plans plus associated engineering evaluations for modifications to the liquid radwaste processing and control systems in support of planned resumption of liquid radioactive effluent batch discharges from the site.
The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the site as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
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, independent radiation measurements, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this quarterly inspection, the inspectors did not identify any violations of NRC requirements that were of greater than minor safety significance. Three violations of minor safety significance are described in the inspection report. No response to these violations is required.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's
"Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and the enclosed report will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRCs website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.
Sincerely,
/RA/
