Dear Mr. Hansen:

On December 17, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed inspection activities for January through December 2021, at the permanently shut down Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) in Palo, Iowa. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and 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 17, 2021.

During the inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the following aspects of on-site activities: safety reviews, design changes and modifications; problem identification and resolution; spent fuel pool safety; design and construction of an additional ISFSI pad; operation of an ISFSI; fire protection; decommissioning performance; emergency preparedness; occupational radiation exposure; radioactive waste treatment, effluent, and environmental monitoring; material control and accounting; and waste management and transportation. 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.January 25, 2022 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.
