SUBJECT:
ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION MASTER INSPECTION PLAN -
CALENDAR YEAR 2013
Dear Mr. Daly:
In accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Manual Chapter 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program, and Manual Chapter 2690, Inspection Program for Dry Cask Storage of Spent Reactor Fuel at Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations and for 10 CFR Part 71 Transportation Packagings, the NRC Region III staff developed a Master Inspection Plan (MIP) for the Zion Station for calendar year 2013.
The inspection plan is based on your current performance in executing the site decommissioning project and the schedule of activities planned for the period January -
December 2013. The plan outlines how we intend to focus our regional inspection resources to provide oversight of decommissioning activities including the dry cask storage campaign.
The MIP is based, in part, on your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities for calendar year 2013. As a result, the plan and the focus of inspection activities may change to reflect decommissioning activities or your performance. In order to ensure that this MIP remains current, we request that you keep the Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch (MCID) staff informed of any significant changes in your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities. You will be informed of any significant changes to our plans for inspections at the Zion site.
Since the site initiated significant decommissioning activities in 2011, and those activities are slated to continue into 2013, the NRC regional office intends to perform nominally one onsite decommissioning safety inspection per month. In addition, since you plan to commence fuel loading into dry casks in 2013, the MIP also reflects our intended inspection scope for the dry cask storage campaign. In that regard, the region plans to conduct onsite inspections to evaluate preoperational and operational Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) activities in 2013, including ISFSI security. Moreover, as we recently communicated to Mr. Patrick Thurman, the region plans to conduct a problem identification and resolution (PI&R) team inspection in early 2013, to evaluate the adequacy of your corrective action program and to assess the Zion site safety conscious work environment.
P. Daly The following is a list of the routine inspection procedures we expect to use during our inspections. The procedures used during each inspection will depend on the specific activities being conducted at the site. Additional discretionary inspection procedures may be used if decommissioning or ISFSI activities warrant.
Inspection Procedure Title IP 36801 Organization, Management and Cost Controls IP 37801 Safety Reviews, Design Changes, and Modifications IP 40801 Self-Assessment, Auditing, and Corrective Action IP 60801 Spent Fuel Pool Safety IP 62801 Maintenance and Surveillance IP 71801 Decommissioning Performance and Status Review IP 83750 Occupational Radiation Exposure IP 84750 Radioactive Waste Treatment, and Effluent and Environmental Monitoring IP 86750 Solid Radioactive Waste Management and Transportation of Radioactive Materials IP 71152 Problem Identification and Resolution IP 81311 Physical Security Requirements for ISFSIs IP 60853 Onsite Fabrication of Components and ISFSI Construction IP 60854 Preoperational Testing of an ISFSI IP 60855 Operation of an ISFSI IP 60856 Review of 72.212(b) Evaluations In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this MIP. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the following members of my staff: Matthew Learn (ISFSI) at (630) 829-9603, Eugenio Bonano (Security) at (630) 829-9826 and Wayne Slawinski (all other areas) at (630) 829-9820.
Sincerely,
/RA/
