SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000305/2017002(DNMS) - KEWAUNEE POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Stoddard:
On January 24, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the permanently shut down Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. On January 24, the inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. S. Yuen and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the facility as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations. Areas examined during the inspection were organization, management, and cost controls; decommissioning performance; emergency exercise scenario and exercise performance; occupational radiation exposure; radioactive waste treatment and effluent and environmental monitoring; and solid radioactive waste management and transportation of radioactive materials. 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, the NRC is treating this 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 the violation or significance of the 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. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Michael A. Kunowski, Chief Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety
