UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 December 23, 2013 Mr. David A. Heacock President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.
Innsbrook Technical Center 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060-6711
SUBJECT:
KEWAUNEE POWER STATION MASTER INSPECTION PLAN - CALENDAR YEAR 2014
Dear Mr. Heacock:
On May 31, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) notified you that the NRC would cease to implement Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, and IMC 2515, Light Water Reactor Inspection Program -
Operations Phase, at the Kewaunee Power Station and beginning June 1, 2013, the NRCs oversight of your licensed activities will be performed under IMC 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program, dated April 14, 2013. In accordance with IMC 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 (ISFSI) and for Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 71 Transportation Packaging, the NRC Region III staff developed a Master Inspection Plan (MIP) for the Kewaunee Power Station for calendar year 2014. The inspection plan is based on your current performance and planned decommissioning activities for January through December 2014. The plan outlines how we intend to focus our regional inspection resources to provide oversight of decommissioning activities including a potential dry cask storage campaign.
The MIP is based, in part, on your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities for Calendar Year 2014. 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 NRC Region III 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 Kewaunee site.
Since the site initiated a transition to SAFSTOR in 2013, and those activities are slated to continue into 2014, the NRC regional office intends to perform approximately one onsite decommissioning safety inspection per month. Since there is potential for a dry cask storage campaign in 2014, the MIP also reflects our intended inspection scope for the campaign.
Finally, the region plans to conduct a follow up inspection to the White finding described in Inspection Report No. 05000305/2013008 in early 2014. The purpose of this inspection is to determine whether or not the root cause and contributing causes of risk significant performance issues are understood; the extent of condition and the extent of causes are identified; and the corrective actions are sufficient to prevent recurrence. Since the NRC is now providing oversight in accordance with IMC 2561, the NRC intends to perform this follow up inspection
D. Heacock using Inspection Procedure (IP) 92702, Followup on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviations, in lieu of IP 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area.
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 71714 Cold Weather Preparations (IP71111.01 as guidance)
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 42700 Plant Procedures IP 61726 Surveillance Observation IP 62706 Maintenance Rule IP 64704 Fire Protection IP 92702 Followup on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviations IP 81311 Physical Security Requirements for ISFSIs IP 60855.1 Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants In accordance with 10 CFR 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.
