SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-29/98-03
,
Dear Mr. Williams:
!
On July 31,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your nuclear reactor facility in Rowe,
l
Massachusetts. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Rowe facility
was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations and careful radiological controls.
Within the scope of this inspection, you had in place effective programs for protecting the
safety of workers during dismantlement and decommissioning activities. Intemal and extemal
radiation exposure controls were very good. Housekeeping in radiological areas was very
l
good and continued improvement was noted. Control of radioactive material and
.
contamination was very good and labeling of radioactive material was excellent. Your staf.
was properly implementing the modifications to the spent fuel pool building. Overall, the
l
- Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS) final status survey program was consistent with the
recommendations of NRC and pertinent industry standards. Several areas for improvement
'
were noted for the final status survey program, particularly regarding assessment of scan
sensitivity. Additional decommissioning program elements will be assessed during the next
inspection. No major deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements were identified.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosure will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
\\ \\
Sincerely,
\\
