The inspection consisted of observations by the inspectors, interviews with personnel, and a review of procedures and records. The results of the inspection were discussed with you and other members of the CR-3 staff on August 2, 2018, and are described in the enclosed report. No findings of safety significance were identified.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure(s), and your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Duke Energy
Crystal River Nuclear Plant NRC Inspection Report No. 05000302/2018002
An announced CR-3 decommissioning on-site inspection was performed July 30 - August 2, 2018. The inspection included a review of organization and management, design changes and modifications, corrective action program, effluent and environmental monitoring, and decommissioning status. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspectors, interviews with Duke Energy personnel, a review of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program."
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified.
Inspection Report No. 05000302/2018002
REPORT DETAILS
1.0 Background
On February 20, 2013, Duke Energy sent a letter [Agency Documentation and Management System Accession Number ML13056A005] to the NRC certifying the permanent cessation of activities and certifying that the fuel had been permanently removed from the reactor. This met the requirements of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 50.82(a)(1)(ii). CR-3 is currently in the SAFSTOR phase of decommissioning as described in IMC 2561.
2.0 SAFSTOR Performance and Status Review
a. Inspection Scope
[Inspection Procedures (IPs) 36801, 37801, 40801, 71801, 84750]
The inspectors conducted document reviews, attended safety meetings, and interviewed
plant personnel to verify regulatory requirements were properly implemented with
respect to the site organization, staffing and qualifications, fire protection, and employee
training programs. The inspectors reviewed procedures and processes to evaluate
Duke Energys ability to resolve employee safety concerns, disseminate safety
information and effectively resolve identified problems. The inspectors reviewed Duke
Energys decommissioning activities to verify they were performed in a manner
consistent with the Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR).
The inspectors conducted document reviews and interviews with plant personnel to
verify Duke Energy procedures and processes conform to the regulations and guidance
associated with 10 CFR 50.59 and changes made by Duke Energy under 10 CFR 50.59
did not require prior NRC approval. The inspectors reviewed the qualification and
training for 10 CFR 50.59 evaluators, directions for performing reviews of proposed
changes, and an evaluation performed regarding the future removal of certain radiation
monitors.
The inspectors reviewed documents and interviewed CR-3 personnel to verify Duke
Energy management performed audits and self-assessments, and ensured issues were
identified and corrected in accordance with the sites corrective action program (CAP).
The inspectors reviewed a representative selection of CAP documents to determine if a
sufficiently low threshold for problem identification existed, follow-up evaluations were of
sufficient quality, and Duke Energy assigned timely and appropriate prioritization for
issue resolution commensurate with the significance of the issue. The inspectors
reviewed the site audits for the past year to verify audits were thorough and corrective
actions were initiated if necessary.

Inspection Report No. 05000302/2018002
The inspectors reviewed activities and documentation associated with effluent and
environmental monitoring to ensure that the licensee effectively controls, monitors,
and quantifies releases of radioactive materials in liquid, gaseous, and particulate forms
to the environment. The inspectors performed a walk-down of groundwater monitoring
wells and interviewed plant personnel. The inspectors reviewed procedures, diagrams
of effluent monitoring systems, the annual radiological environmental monitoring
program (REMP) report, the annual radioactive effluent report, and the Off-Site Dose
Calculation Manual (ODCM).
The inspectors reviewed the project to remove racks from the spent fuel pool.
The inspectors attended pre-job briefs, interviewed personnel, and observed racks being
removed, decontaminated, and packaged for transport. The inspectors reviewed as low
as reasonably achievable plans, radiation work permit (RWP), work order task
instructions, and condition reports to verify activities were performed in accordance with
plant procedures, and work orders.
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors verified that management oversight was adequate for the SAFSTOR
phase of decommissioning and that no significant changes had been made to the CR-3
SAFSTOR organization since the previous inspection. The inspectors determined that
training programs were being appropriately implemented, workers are able to check their training qualifications via computerized system, and notifications are automatically
emailed to workers and their supervisors when training is due. The inspectors
determined safety issues are reported to management and the site has monthly safety
meetings and weekly safety implementation meetings. The inspectors noted that site
decommissioning activities were in accordance with the PSDAR.
The inspectors determined that 10 CFR 50.59 screenings and evaluations are being
performed and that Duke Energy has trained and qualified individuals to perform the
evaluations. The inspectors determined that changes under 10 CFR 50.59 did not
require prior NRC approval and safety reviews were performed for design changes and
modifications in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, license conditions
and the Decommissioning Safety Analysis Report.
The inspectors determined that issues were being identified and entered into the CAP in a timely manner and the issues were effectively screened, prioritized and evaluated commensurate with their safety significance. The inspectors verified audits were being performed by qualified individuals independent of the organization being audited and that management reviewed the audits and associated corrective actions.
The inspectors verified that effluent releases to the environment were being properly
controlled, monitored, and quantified as required by NRC regulations. The inspectors
verified that the annual radiological effluent and the annual REMP reports demonstrated
that calculated doses were below regulatory dose criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The
inspectors verified effluent monitors and area radiation monitors were checked,
calibrated, and maintained as specified in the ODCM.
Inspection Report No. 05000302/2018002
The inspectors determined the SFP rack removal activities were performed safely and in accordance with plant procedures and work orders. Inspectors also determined the use of ALARA plans and RWP were effective in minimizing worker exposure.
