SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-155/98009(DNMS)
Dear Mr. Powers:
On January 12,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant
Restoration Project which examined decommissioning activities. The enclosed report presents
the results of that inspection.
During the period covered by this inspection, activities in the area of facility management and
control, decommissioning support, spent fuel safety, and radiological safety were examined.
-
Overall reactor decommissioning activities were generally performed satisfactorily. No
violations or deviations were identified during the inspection. However, one weakness was
identified, relating to an event involving ungrappling a fuel bundle without it being fully seated in
the rack and without independent verification that ungrappling the fuel bundle was proper. The
event is of concem because of the potential adverse consequences of inadequate handling of a
spent fuel bundle.
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 Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
/s/ B. L. Jorgensen
Bruce L. Jorgensen, Chief
Decommissioning Branch
