SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-155/99004(DNMS)

Dear Mr. Powers:

On July 30,1999, 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.

Areas examined during this inspection included facility management and control;

decommissioning support, including security; spent fuel safety; and radiological safety, with

focus on transportation of low level radioactive material. No safety issues or enforcement

- items were identified during this inspection.

Overall, reactor decommissioning activities were being performed satisfactorily. Management

- was effectively monitoring, assessing, and controlling the conduct, cost, and radiological

aspects of decommissioning. . Work on the Spent Fuel Pool Clean Out Project, Phase 2, was

substantially completed, and good worker performance was observed in and around the spent

fuel pool during this project. As low as reasonably achievable controls for radiation exposure

- receiveJ during processing material, and during loading and handling the shipping cask,' were

nota %y successful, resulting in a'significant reduction (about 60 percent) in per-cask exposure.

Sbpments of radioactive materials met NRC and Department of Transportation requirements.

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
