Dear Luke M. Self:
On December 5, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your NorthStar Vallecitos Nuclear Center. At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspectors discussed the results of the inspection with Adam Ball, Site Superintendent, and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation involves your failure to conduct decommissioning of Building 103, the Metallurgy, Chemistry and Ceramics Laboratory, in accordance with an NRC-approved decommissioning plan. Because you initiated a condition report to address this issue, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV)
consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
The NCV is described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or the significance of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to: (1) the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and (2) the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedures, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response if you choose to provide one will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room and from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy or proprietary information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction.

SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted an announced, routine inspection of decommissioning activities in progress at the NorthStar Vallecitos Nuclear Center in Sunol,
List of Findings of Significance and Violations Decommissioning of Building 103 prior to Approval of a Decommissioning Plan Section RM-01 Severity Level IV NCV 07000754/2025002-01 Opened and Closed IP 87104 Introduction: Inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 70.38(g) for the licensees decommissioning of Building 103 prior to NRC approval of a decommissioning plan.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
SITE STATUS Control of the NRC licenses for the Vallecitos Nuclear Center were transferred from GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to NorthStar Vallecitos LLC in mid-March 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] ML24053A060). At the time of the inspection, decommissioning preparation activities were ongoing in several locations around the site including asbestos abatement, legacy waste removal and disposal, and demolition preparation work.
INSPECTION SCOPES
The inspection was conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs).
Currently approved IPs are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Decommissioning of Building 103 prior to Approval of a Decommissioning Plan Report Section RM-01 Severity Level IV NCV 07000754/2025002-01 Opened and Closed IP 87104
Introduction:
Inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 70.38(g) for the licensees decommissioning of Building 103 prior to NRC approval of a decommissioning plan.
Description:
The inspectors noted that the licensee was conducting decommissioning in Building 103, the Metallurgy, Chemistry, and Ceramics Laboratory. Building 103 is listed as a location of use in the SNM license. The activities in progress included removal of ventilation system and walls within the building. These activities should be conducted using the instructions provided in an NRC-approved decommissioning plan or NRC-approved procedures. The inspectors determined that the licensee did not have an NRC-approved decommissioning plan or NRC-approved procedures.
Corrective Actions: The licensee suspended the decommissioning activities of Building 103 and plans to submit to the NRC a decommissioning plan and/or procedures.
Corrective Action Reference: Condition Report 2025000047
Analysis:
The licensees actions were found to be comparable to Materials Operations Example 6.3.d.3 of the Enforcement Policy, in that the licensee failed to implement approved procedures. Specifically, the licensee was conducting decommissioning in Building 103 without NRC-approved procedures. The safety significance was determined to be low because radiological controls were in place during the work activities.
Enforcement:
Severity: This issue was determined to be a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation, consistent with NRCs Enforcement Policy, dated August 23, 2024, as informed by materials operations example 6.3.d.3. Specifically, the licensee placed the violation into its corrective action program and plans to develop and implement corrective actions.
Violation: 10 CFR Part 70.38(g)(1) states, in part, that a decommissioning plan must be submitted if procedures and activities necessary to carry out decommissioning of a building have not been previously approved by the Commission and these procedures could increase potential health and safety impacts to workers or to the public. 10 CFR Part 70.38(g)(3)states, in part, that the procedures listed in paragraph (g)(1) of this section may not be carried out prior to approval of the decommissioning plan.
Contrary to the above, from July 2025 through November 2025, the licensee conducted decommissioning activities within Building 103 without an approved Decommissioning Plan.
The decommissioning work included removal, disposal, and shipment of equipment used to perform work with SNM (e.g., drain piping, fume hoods, ventilation ducting, and a glovebox)from Building 103. The decommissioning procedures used by the licensee to conduct the work had not been approved by the NRC and the work could have increased the potential health and safety impacts to workers.
Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2. of the Enforcement Policy.
EXIT MEETING The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
- On December 5, 2025, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Adam Ball, Site Superintendent, and other members of the licensees staff.
