NRC INSPECTION REPORT 050-00295/10-03(DNMS);
050-00304/10-03(DNMS) ZION NUCLEAR STATION
Dear Mr. Christian:
On December 10, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed inspection activities for the fourth quarter of 2010 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Station in Zion, Illinois. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. Specifically, the inspectors evaluated the Zion Station site organization, staffing and qualifications, the decommissioning safety review and modification process, the corrective action program, radiological access controls, process and effluent radiation monitor capability and aspects of the occupational radiation safety and emergency preparedness programs. At the conclusion of the inspection on December 10, 2010, one of the NRC inspectors involved in the inspection effort discussed the findings with members of your staff.
The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the 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, observations of activities in progress, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors did not identify any violations of NRC requirements.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's
"Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and the enclosed report will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Christine A. Lipa, Chief
