The inspection included a review of operations, management oversight,maintenance, corrective action program implementation, and plant support activities while insafe storage (SAFSTOR) status. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector,interviews with Exelon personnel, and a review of procedures and records. The NRC's programfor overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described inlnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 256l, "Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program."There are currently no ongoing decommissioning activities being conducted at PB-1. Based onthe results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified.lnspection Report No. 050001 7 1 12012008GlWordDocs\Cu rrent\l nsp Report\RDPR- 1 2.20 1 2008.doc REPORT DETAILSBackgroundPB-1 is a high temperature gas-cooled demonstration power reactor that operated fromFebruary 1966 until October 31,1974, and has been permanently shut down and inSAFSTOR since that time. All fuel has been removed from the reactor and shipped to anoffsite facility. The spent fuel pool has been drained and decontaminated, and allradioactive liquids have been removed.The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear powerreactor is described in IMC 2561. The inspection consisted of observations by theinspector, interviews with Exelon personnel, and a review of procedures and records.SAFSTOR Performance and Status Reviewlnspection Scope (lnspection Procedures (lPs) 36801, 37801 . 40801. 71801. 62801,83750, 84750,86750)A routine announced safety inspection was conducted on July 24 and 25,2012, at PB-1.The inspector reviewed the SAFSTOR program as outlined in the Updated Final SafetyAnalysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TS), and procedure LS-PB-800,"Unit 1 Process Control Program," to assess the adequacy of management oversight ofSAFSTOR responsibilities for the PB-1 facility. Specifically, the inspector reviewed thedecommissioning management and staff organization and Exelon's implementation ofSAFSTOR activities related to safe storage of radioactive material. The inspectordiscussed any design changes or modifications since the previous inspection, reviewedthe fire protection prograrn, and conducted a tour to assess the material condition of theaccessible areas of the PB-1 facility.The inspector verified that Exelon completed semi-annual surveillance test (ST),ST-H-099-960-2, "Unit 1 Exclusion Area Semi-Annual Inspection." The inspectorreviewed the results of surveillance testing conducted on November 18, 2011 andMay 17, 2012 to ensure exclusion area barriers and personnel access doors to thecontainment building, the radioactive waste building, and the spent fuel pool buildingwere being maintained in accordance with TS 2.19.b.1 ; and that water accumulation inthe containment sump was less than TS 2.1.b.9 limits.The inspector reviewed activities and documentation associated with the followingSAFSTOR programs: occupational exposure, radioactive effluent control, and siteradiological environmental monitoring program (REMP). The inspector reviewedradioactive gaseous effluent release permits, the annual REMP report, and the annualeffluent report, which included a summary of the radioactive waste management andtransportation programs.The inspector reviewed the annual Decommissioning Status Report 'for 2011 (datedMarch 23,2012) and the PB-1 Nuclear Oversight Audit Report (dated November 22,2011). The inspector also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) issue reports (lRs)and assignment reports (ARs) associated with PB-1 to determine if issues were beinglnspection Report No. 050001 7 1 12012008GlWordDocs\Current\lnsp Report\RDPR-1 2.2012008.doc b.properly identified and evaluated, and if corrective actions were appropriately prioritizedin the CAP.Observations and FindinqsThe inspector noted that there were no personnel changes within the Exelonorganization related to the SAFSTOR activities and confirmed that the staff effectivelyimplemented SAFSTOR activities. The inspector confirmed that no design changes, orplant modifications were made since the previous inspection and PB-1 required reportingsubmittals were completed in accordance with TS requirements. The inspector verifiedthat the maintenance and surveillance program for systems and components had beenconducted in accordance with the TS requirements and established procedures. Theinspector also confirmed that no dismantlement or decommissioning activities wereperformed since the previous inspection. The annual radiological effluent andradiological environmental monitoring reports demonstrated that all calculated doseswere below regulatory dose criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix l.The inspector determined that issues were entered into the CAP, prioritized andevaluated commensurate with their safety significance. Corrective actions wereimplemented to address identified issues, and were being tracked to closure using theCAP.ConclusionsThere are currently no ongoing decommissioning activities being conducted at PB-1.Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified.Exit Meeting SummaryOn July 25 2012, the inspector presented the inspection results to Gary Stathes, SiteVice President and other members of Exelon's staff. The inspector confirmed thatproprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.lnspection Report No. 050001 7 1 12012008G:\WordDocs\Current\lnsp Report\RDPR-1 2.2012008.docc.3.0 PARTIAL LIST OF PERSONS CONTACTEDLicenseeJ.
