EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Exelon Generation Company, LLC
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 1 NRC Inspection Report No. 0500017112013009 A routine announced safety inspection was conducted on May 13 through 15,2013 at PB-1.
The inspection included a review of operations, management oversight, maintenance, corrective action program implementation, and plant support activities while in safe 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 program for overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (f MC) 256l, "Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program." There 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.

REPORT DETAILS
Background PB-1 is a high temperature gas-cooled demonstration power reactor that operated from February 1966 until October 31, 1974, and has been permanently shut down and in SAFSTOR since that time. All fuel has been removed from the reactor and shipped to an offsite facility. The spent fuel pool has been drained and decontaminated, and all radioactive liquids have been removed.
The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in IMC 2561. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with Exelon personnel, and a review of procedures and records.
SAFSTOR Performance and Status Review lnspection Scope (lnspection Procedures (lPs) 36801.37801.40801.62801.71801.
83750, 84750. 86750)
A routine announced safety inspection was conducted on May 13 through 15, 2013 at PB-1. The inspector reviewed the SAFSTOR program as outlined in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TS), and procedure LS-PB-800, "Unit 1 Process Control Program," to assess the adequacy of management oversight of SAFSTOR responsibilities for the PB-1 facility. Specifically, the inspector reviewed the decommissioning management and staff organization and Exelon's implementation of SAFSTOR activities related to safe storage of radioactive material.
The inspector discussed any design changes or modifications since the previous inspection. The inspector also conducted a tour to assess the material condition of the PB-1 facility (reactor building, containment building, radioactive waste building, and spent fuel pool building).
The inspector observed Exelon perform portions of the semi-annual surveillance test (ST), ST-H-099-960-2, "Unit 1 Exclusion Area Semi-Annual lnspection." The inspector reviewed the results of surveillance testing conducted on November '19, 2012, and May 13 and 14,2013, to ensure exclusion area barriers and personnelaccess doors to the containment building, the radioactive waste building, and the spent fuel pool building were being maintained in accordance with TS 2.1(b)1 and that water accumulation in the containment sump was less than TS 2.1(b)g limits.
The inspector reviewed activities and documentation associated with the following SAFSTOR programs: occupational exposure, radioactive effluent control, and site radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP). The inspector reviewed radioactive gaseous effluent release permits, the groundwater monitoring program, the annual REMP report, and the annualeffluent release report, which included a summary of the radioactive.waste management and transportation programs.

The inspector reviewed the annual Decommissioning Status Report for 2012, dated March 29,2013. The inspector also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) issue reports and assignment reports associated with PB-1 to determine if issues were being properly identified and evaluated, and if corrective actions were appropriately prioritized in the CAP.
Observations and Findinqs The inspector noted that there were two personnel changes within the Exelon organization related to the SAFSTOR activities and confirmed that the staff effectively implemented SAFSTOR activities. The inspector confirmed that no design changes, or plant modifications were made since the previous inspection and PB-1 required reporting submittals were completed in accordance with TS requirements. The inspector verified that the maintenance and surveillance program for systems and components had been conducted in accordance with the TS requirements and established procedures. The inspector also verified that the semi-annual inspection was performed according to TS 2.3(b) and associated procedures. The inspector also confirmed that no dismantlement or decommissioning activities were performed since the previous inspection. The annual radiological effluent and radiological environmental monitoring reports demonstrated that all calculated doses were below regulatory dose criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix L The inspector determined that issues were entered into the CAP, and prioritized and evaluated commensurate with their safety significance. Corrective actions were implemented to address identified issues and were being tracked to closure using the CAP.
Conclusions There 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 Summary
On May 15,2013, the inspector presented the inspection results to Mike Massaro, Site Vice President, and other members of Exelon's staff. The inspector confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.
