SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000295/2013008(DNMS);
05000304/2013008(DNMS) - ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Daly:
On March 29, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for the first calendar quarter of 2013 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Power Station in Zion, Illinois. The inspection continued with in-office review through April 5, 2013. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which were discussed during a telephone call with Mr. Patrick Thurman on April 18, 2013.
During the inspection period, the NRC inspector reviewed aspects of the occupational radiation exposure monitoring program; the characterization and manifesting for a radioactive waste (RADWASTE) shipment of irradiated hardware in an NRC approved Type B cask; and implementation of the corrective action program (CAP). The CAP review included an evaluation of a recently identified condenser off-gas system configuration control issue.
The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the site 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, observation of work activities, independent radiation measurements, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this quarterly inspection, the inspector did not identify any violations of NRC requirements that were of greater than minor safety significance.
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 made 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 Lipa, Chief Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety
