SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000295/2015010(DNMS);
05000304/2015010(DNMS); AND 07201037/2015002(DNMS) - ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Sauger:
On December 31, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for October 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, at the permanently shut down Zion Nuclear Power Station (ZNPS) in Zion, Illinois. 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 with Mr. Jack Rollins and other members of your staff on January 21, 2016.
During the inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the following aspects of onsite activities: organization, management, and cost controls; self-assessments, audits and corrective actions; fire protection; decommissioning performance and status review; occupational radiation safety exposure; radioactive waste treatment, and effluent and environmental monitoring; and solid radioactive waste management and transportation of radioactive materials. 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, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC identified one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating the issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy.
No response is required for the NCV. However, if you contest this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the Director, Office of Enforcement, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001 In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any), will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRCs Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
Michael A. Kunowski, Chief Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety
