Mr. David Lochbaum

SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS FROM DAVID LOCHBAUM REGARDING U.S.
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INSPECTION REPORT NO.
05000293/2020002 & 2020003, HOLTEC DECOMMISSIONING
INTERNATIONAL, LLC, PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION, PLYMOUTH,
MASSACHUSETTS
Dear Mr. Lochbaum:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I want to thank you for your
August 5, 2021, letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS]
Accession Number ML21230A248) to me regarding the NRC inspections that took place
between April 21, 2020 and September 30, 2020, at the permanently shut down Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station (PNPS) in Plymouth Massachusetts. In your letter, you specifically requested
written answers to your four questions. Please see the attached enclosure which includes a
detailed response to each question.
Regarding the subject inspection at PNPS (ADAMS Accession No. ML20335A009), NRC
conducted inspections that included examination of activities conducted under the license held
by Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI). The inspection consisted of observations
by the inspectors, interviews with site personnel, and a review of procedures and records as
they relate to the compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and the conditions of
the license. The inspection included a review of the casks in use at Pilgrim.
Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC is permitted to use any spent fuel storage cask in
the list of approved spent fuel storage casks, under Part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Section 214. The approved list in 10 CFR 72.214 includes certificate of
compliance (CoC) No. 1014, Amendment No. 12. Although the expiration date has passed for
CoC No. 1014, Amendment No. 12, this CoC is considered to be in timely renewal, because the
CoC holder (Holtec International) submitted a renewal application for CoC No. 1014 not less
than 30 days before the expiration date of the CoC, which is in compliance with 10 CFR
72.240(b). This regulation, 10 CFR 72.240(b), also states, When an applicant has submitted a
timely application for renewal, the existing CoC will not expire until the renewal has been
determined by the NRC. Therefore, the CoC No. 1014, Amendment No. 12 is not expired until
the NRC completes its review of Holtecs renewal application. The NRC anticipates this review
will be completed in the Spring of 2022. In the interim, NRC inspectors will continue to monitor
and inspect the licensed activities at PNPS to provide reasonable assurance of adequate
protection of public health and safety.
