NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000295/2014010(DNMS); 05000304/2014010(DNMS);

07201037/2014004(DNMS) - ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Sauger:

On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Power Station in Zion, Illinois. The inspection continued with in-office review through January 2, 2015. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether regulated activities associated with the decommissioning project and ongoing spent fuel transfer operations were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which were discussed with Mr. Van Noordennen of your staff on January 21, 2015.

During the quarterly inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the execution of the site decommissioning project focusing on radiological effluent sampling, analysis and monitoring of effluent streams, emergency preparedness exercise performance, ongoing spent fuel transfer operations, aspects of the occupational radiation safety program, and implementation of the corrective action program.

The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the site as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your NRC licenses maintained under 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 72. 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 inspectors did not identify any violations of regulatory 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 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 NRCs website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.

Sincerely,

/RA/
