UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 December 12, 2016 Mr. John Sauger Executive VP and Chief Nuclear Officer EnergySolutions 2701 Deborah Avenue Zion, IL 60099

SUBJECT:

ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION MASTER INSPECTION PLAN -

CALENDAR YEAR 2017

Dear Mr. Sauger:

In accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program, and IMC 2690, Inspection Program for Dry 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 2017. The inspection plan is based on your current performance in executing the site decommissioning project and your planned decommissioning activities for the site from January through December 2017. The plan outlines how we intend to focus our regional inspection resources to provide oversight for decommissioning activities including the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation.

The MIP is based, in part, on your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities for calendar year 2017. As a result, the plan and the focus of inspection activities may change to reflect those activities or your performance. 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 significant changes to our plans for inspections at the Zion site.

Since the site initiated significant decommissioning activities in 2011, and those activities are planned to continue throughout 2017, the NRC regional office intends to perform nominally one routine onsite decommissioning safety inspection per month. Additionally, we intend to complete an ISFSI security inspection.

The following is a list of the inspection procedures we expect to use during our inspections in 2017. 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 37801 Safety Reviews, Design Changes, and Modifications IP 40801 Self-Assessment, Auditing, and Corrective Action

J. Sauger Inspection Procedure Title IP 62801 Maintenance and Surveillance IP 71801 Decommissioning Performance and Status Review IP 82401 Decommissioning Emergency Preparedness Scenario Review and Exercise Evaluation IP 82501 Decommissioning Emergency Preparedness Program Evaluation IP 83750 Occupational Radiation Exposure IP 83801 Inspection of Final Surveys at Permanently Shutdown Reactors IP 84750 Radioactive Waste Treatment, and Effluent and Environmental Monitoring IP 86750 Solid Radioactive Waste Management and Transportation of Radioactive Materials IP 81311 Physical Security Requirements for ISFSIs 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 contact Rhex Edwards at 630-829-9722 or Bill Lin at 630-829-9829 of my staff.

Sincerely,

/RA/
