SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000302/2015009, DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, INC., CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3, CRYSTAL RIVER, FLORIDA

Dear Mr. Hobbs:

On September 30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its quarterly inspection under Inspection Manual Chapter 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program," at the permanently shut down Crystal River Nuclear Plant Unit 3 (CR-3). On-site inspections were performed on August 25-27, 2015. In-office reviews of information supplied by Duke Energy Florida, Inc. were also performed during the inspection period. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and the conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with personnel, and a review of procedures and records. The results of the inspection were discussed with Phyllis Dixon, Decommissioning Technical Support Manager, and other members of the CR-3 staff on October 5, 2015, and are described in the enclosed report. No findings of safety significance were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure(s), and your response, will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Duke Energy

Crystal River Nuclear Plant NRC Inspection Report No. 05000302/2015009 An announced quarterly inspection was completed at CR-3 on September 30, 2015. On-site inspections were conducted on August 25-27, 2015. In-office reviews of information supplied by Duke Energy were also performed during the inspection period. The inspection included a review of site operations, management oversight, site radiological programs, maintenance and surveillance, and decommissioning performance. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with Duke Energy personnel, a review of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2561,

Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program."

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified.

REPORT DETAILS

1.0 Background On February 20, 2013, Duke Energy sent a letter [Agency Documentation and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number: ML13056A005] to the NRC certifying the permanent cessation of activities and certifying that the fuel had been permanently removed from the reactor. This met the requirements of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 50.82(a)(1)(ii). As of the end of this reporting period, Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) has moved from the Post Operation Transitional Phase of decommissioning to the SAFSTOR phase of decommissioning as described in IMC 2561.

2.0 Post Operation Transition Phase Performance and Status Review

a. Inspection Scope

(Inspection Procedures (IPs) 62801, 71801, 83750, 86750)

The inspector performed an on-site inspection the week of August 25-27, 2015. In-office reviews of information supplied by Duke Energy were also performed during the inspection period. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with Duke Energy personnel, a review of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs.

The inspector reviewed activities and documentation associated with the occupational exposure and radioactive waste management to determine the effectiveness of site radiological programs. The inspector accompanied a CR-3 radiation protection (RP)technician during a plant walk-down which included; checking postings, general area surveys, air sample collection and analysis. The inspector also toured the instrument calibration lab and reviewed the setup of the calibrator and reviewed calibration procedures. The inspector observed work activities associated with the processing, packaging, surveying, and storage of radwaste and reviewed the work package for the most recent shipment of radwaste to verify compliance with the regulations. The inspector reviewed year-to-date dose totals, radiation work permits, and As Low As Reasonably Achievable work plans to verify radiation work activities were pre-planned effectively to limit worker exposure.

The inspector reviewed the completed work package and related procedures completed for the quarterly preventative maintenance of the fuel handling crane to verify that maintenance was being performed within the established frequencies and that the equipment was being properly maintained. The inspector also met with CR-3 maintenance supervisors and discussed staffing levels, how routine maintenance and emergent work is requested, prioritized, and scheduled, and reviewed the current maintenance workload. The inspector reviewed the backlog of maintenance work to assess the age and prioritization of the items.

Inspection Report No. 05000302/2015009 G:\WordDocs\Mailed\Insp Letter\LDPR-72.201500910212015.docx

The inspector observed CR-3 and Areva, Inc. personnel performing visual inspections of spent fuel assemblies in order to assess the material condition of the spent fuel assemblies. The visual inspections are in preparation for the CR-3 campaign to move all fuel assemblies from the spent fuel pool and into dry cask storage. The inspector reviewed the equipment setup, RP coverage of the project, and evaluated CR-3s adherence to procedures.

b. Observations and Findings

The inspector attended pre-job briefings and determined that briefings were thorough and identified the significant potential hazards for the activities to be performed. The inspector determined that survey records were clear and complete and RP staff effectively controlled work activities. The inspector noted most routine surveys, instrument calibrations and daily source checks of instruments are performed on back shift. The inspector also noted that most radwaste has been shipped off-site and several large legacy radwaste items are scheduled to be shipped within the next year.

The inspector verified that the maintenance and surveillance program for systems and components had been conducted in accordance with the technical specifications requirements and established procedures. The inspector determined that approximately 20% of maintenance work is preventative maintenance and the rest is emergent work. The inspector also determined that approximately 90% of the maintenance workload is non-complex and does not require a work order.

The inspector noted that the visual inspection of fuel assemblies was being performed using multiple cameras and that all four sides, top, and bottom are viewed and that all visuals are recorded. The inspector verified that a second independent individual views the monitors to verify results and all deformations of fuel assemblies are noted. The inspector noted that CR-3 plans to further test the fuel assemblies with deformations to ensure they will be able to be loaded into dry casks.

c. Conclusions

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified.
