NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000295/2013013(DNMS); 05000304/2013013 (DNMS); 07201037/2012002(DNMS) ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Sauger:
On December 17, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its inspection of pre-operational testing activities of the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at the permanently shutdown Zion Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of the inspection was to assess whether the licensee had adequately demonstrated its readiness to safely transfer spent fuel from the spent fuel pool to the ISFSI. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results which were discussed on December 17, 2013, with members of your staff.
The inspection was an examination of the ISFSI pre-operational testing and preparatory activities as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Specifically, the inspectors observed pre-operational testing activities, reviewed programs, and reviewed engineering evaluations pertaining to the safe loading, storage, and unloading of spent nuclear fuel at the Zion Nuclear Power Station.
The inspection was conducted per NRC Inspection Manual 2690, Inspection Program for Dry Storage of Spent Reactor Fuel at Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Guidance for Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 71 Transportation Packages, and used Inspection Procedures (IP) 60854.1 and IP 60856.1.
Based on the results of these inspections, the inspectors did not identify any violations of NRC requirements.
