All attended the exit meeting on October 16, 1986. Future Plans for the Midland Facility Mr. Mooney gave an overview of the licensee's plans to convert the facility into a gas-fired combined-cycle plant which would also supply steam to Dow Chemica . Materials Fission Chamber Licenses The Midland Units 1 and 2 fission chambers had been stored in site warehouse No. They were shipped to the Palisades Nuclear Plant for storage on August 29, 1986. The inspector reviewed CPCo Source Inventory and Leak Test Records made prior to shipment and the Radioactive Material Snipment Records made during shipment and determined that the radiological limits were below regulatory requirements. The transfer was made in accordance with NRC rules and regulations. The results of a radiation and contamination survey (made in the warehouse storage area) confirmed that no residual contamination remains. The licensee plans to request termination of their licenses SNM-1904 and SNM-1905 in the near futur . Licensee Action on Soils Shutdown Activities The inspectors toured the remedial soils work areas to determine if the work activities listed in CPCo letters dated July 26, 1984, and August 28, 1984, had been properly accomplished. These activities were considered necessary tasks to halt the remedial soils work in progress and leave the work in a safe condition during the Midland plant work suspensio The inspectors verified that the only remaining task was accomplishe That task was to place a dike across the emergency heat sink in front of the Service Water Pump Structure in order to keep lake rain water from entering the intake bay Since the shutdown, over two years ago, the auxiliary building has under gone virtually no movement except for the seasonal variations with temperature.

and lay up grouting has left the building in a safe and stable conditio It can cause no danger to the public if left as i The licensee indicated that if at a later time, the lake is to be re-established and re-filled for the gas conversion, something will be done to the partially completed underpinning to alleviate the possibility of soil washouts under the building, thus possibly making the building unstabl . Exit Interview The inspectors met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection activities. The licensee acknowledged these findings. The inspector also discussed the likely informational content of the inspection report with regard to documents or processes reviewed by the inspector during the inspection.
