The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with the NRC requirements. Specifically, during an onsite inspection on September 12 - 13, 2012, the inspector evaluated decommissioning performance and conducted independent confirmatory radiation surveys. At the conclusion of the onsite inspection on September 13, 2012, the inspector discussed the inspection results with members of your staff.

This inspection consisted of an examination of decommissioning activities at the NASA Plum Brook Reactor Facility as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions 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, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no violations were identified.
