SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-155/98002(DNMS)

Dear Mr. Powers:

On April 6,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant which

examined decommissioning activities. The enclosed report presents the results of that

i

inspection.

'l

During this inspection, activities in the areas of facility management and control,

decommissioning support, spent fuel safety, and radiological safety were examined.

Overall, reactor decommissioning activities were generally performed satisfactorily and an

emergency preparedness exercise was completed satisfactorily; however, an unusual event was

declared when afgae containing cobalt-60 alarmed the discharge canal radiation monitor. Your

subsequent actions appeared satisfactory; however, additional NRC review is planned regarding

this occurrence.

Decommissioning milestones included the issuing of the Updated Finai Hazard Summary Report

and submittal of the Defueled Security Plan to the NRC.

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,

1
