Dear Mr. Halpin:

This letter refers to the inspection conducted on July 21 - 23, 2015, at your permanently shut down Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 facility in Eureka, California. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were being conducted safely and in conformance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements. The results of the inspection were discussed with members of your staff at the conclusion of the onsite inspection on July 23, 2015.

During this inspection, NRC staff examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to public health and safety to confirm compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. No violations were identified and no response to this letter is required.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, 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 or from the NRCs documents system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRCs Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Dr. Gerald Schlapper, Health Physicist, at 817-200-1273 or the undersigned at 817-200-1191.

Sincerely,
