SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000331/2020010(DNMS) - DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER

Dear Mr. Hansen:

On December 21, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed inspection activities for October through December 2020, at the permanently shut down Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) in Palo, Iowa. 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. Paul Hansen and other members of your staff on December 21, 2020.

During the inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the following aspects of onsite activities: self-assessments, audits, and corrective actions; spent fuel pool safety; decommissioning performance; occupational radiation safety; radioactive waste treatment, effluent, and environmental monitoring; and waste management. 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 did not identify any violations. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
