NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO.

05000219/2023002

Dear Kelly Trice:

On June 30, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection

under Inspection Manual Chapter 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program, at

the permanently shut down Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). The

inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and

compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and the conditions of your license. The

inspection consisted of observations by the inspectors, interviews with site personnel, a review

of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs. The results of this inspection were discussed

with Jeffrey Dostal, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff on July 11, 2023, and

are described in the enclosed report.

Based on the results of this inspection, an apparent violation (AV) was identified and is being

considered for escalated enforcement action, including a civil penalty, in accordance with the

NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is available on the NRCs Web site at

http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html. The AV involves the

failure by Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI) staff at Oyster Creek to design and

prepare radioactive materials for shipment so that under conditions normally incident to

transportation the radiation level does not exceed 200 mrem/hr at any point on the external

surface of the package, as required by Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR)

173.441. Pursuant to 10 CFR 71.5, licensees who transport licensed materials on public

highways must comply with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation

regulations in 49 CFR Parts 170 through 189.

Before the NRC makes its enforcement decision, you may provide a written response to the

NRC regarding the AV and HDIs corrective actions. The written response should include:

(1) the reason for the AV or, if contested, the basis for disputing the AV; (2) the corrective steps

that have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps that will be taken; and

(4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

If you choose to provide a written response, it should be sent to the NRC within 30 days of the

date of this letter. You should clearly mark the response as a Response to Apparent Violation

K. Trice

in NRC Report No. 05000219/2023002; EA-23-076, and send it to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001 with a copy to the

Regional Administrator, NRC Region I, 475 Allendale Road, Suite 102, King of Prussia, PA

19406-1415. If an adequate response is not received within the time specified or an extension of

time has not been granted by the NRC, the NRC will proceed with its enforcement decision or

schedule a pre-decisional enforcement conference (PEC).

In lieu of providing a written response, you may choose to provide your perspective on this

matter, including the significance, cause, and corrective actions, as well as any other

information that you believe the NRC should take into consideration, by requesting a PEC to

meet with the NRC and provide your views in person.

If you choose to request a PEC, the meeting should be held within 30 days of the date of this

letter. The conference will include an opportunity for you to provide your perspective on these

matters and any other information that you believe the NRC should take into consideration

before making an enforcement decision. The decision to hold a PEC does not mean that the

NRC has determined that a violation has occurred or that enforcement action will be taken.

This conference would be conducted to obtain information to assist the NRC in making an

enforcement decision. The topics discussed during the PEC may include information to

determine whether a violation occurred, information to determine the significance of a violation,

information related to the identification of a violation, and information related to any corrective

actions taken or planned. If a PEC is held, it will be open for public observation and the NRC will

issue a press release to announce the time and date of the conference.

In presenting your corrective actions in a written response or at a PEC, you should be aware

that the promptness and comprehensiveness of your actions will be considered in assessing

any civil penalty for the AV. The guidance in NRC Information Notice 96-28, Suggested

Guidance Relating to Development and Implementation of Corrective Action, at

https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0612/ML061240509.pdf, may be helpful.

Finally, in lieu of a PEC, you may also request Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mediation

with the NRC in an attempt to resolve this issue. ADR is a general term encompassing various

techniques for resolving conflicts using a neutral third party. The technique that the NRC has

decided to employ is mediation; a voluntary, informal process in which a trained neutral

mediator works with parties to help them reach resolution. If the parties agree to use ADR, they

select a mutually agreeable neutral mediator who has no stake in the outcome and no power

to make decisions. Mediation gives parties an opportunity to discuss issues, clear up

misunderstandings, be creative, find areas of agreement, and reach a final resolution of the

issues. Additional information concerning the NRC ADR program can be obtained at

http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/adr.html . The Institute on Conflict

Resolution (ICR) at Cornell University has agreed to facilitate the NRC program as a neutral

third party. Please contact ICR at 877-733-9415 within 10 days of the date of this letter if you

are interested in pursuing resolution of this issue through ADR. The ADR mediation session

should be held within 45 days of the date of this letter.

Please contact Anthony Dimitriadis, Chief, Decommissioning, ISFSI, and Reactor Health

Physics Branch, NRC Region I, at 610-337-6953 within 10 days of the date of this letter to notify

the NRC of which of the above options you choose. If you do not contact the NRC within the

time specified, and an extension of time has not been granted by the NRC, the NRC will

proceed with its enforcement decision.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI)

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station

NRC Inspection Report No. 05000219/2023002

A routine, announced decommissioning inspection was completed on June 30, 2023, at the

permanently shut down Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OC). A combination of

on-site and remote inspection activities were performed over the inspection period. On-site

inspection activities were conducted on May 22, and June 26 - 29, 2023. The inspection

included safety reviews, design changes, and modifications at permanently shutdown reactors,

problem identification and resolution, decommissioning performance, and status reviews;

occupational radiation exposure; and solid radioactive waste management and transportation of

radioactive materials. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspectors, interviews

with site personnel, a review of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs. The U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) program for overseeing the safe decommissioning of

a shutdown nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2561,

Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program.

Apparent Violation

One apparent violation was identified for HDIs failure to properly prepare and ship a package

containing radioactive material in a manner that assured, under conditions normally incident to

transport, conformance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) radiation level limitations

specified by Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) 173.441 on any external

surface of the package. Specifically, inadequate radiological surveys performed at OC indicated

that the package conformed with DOT limits. However, when the shipment arrived at Indian

Point Energy Center (IPEC) on May 3, 2023, the maximum radiation dose rate on the external

surface of the package (topside) was measured as 450 millirem per hour (mrem/h), exceeding

the DOT limit of 200 mrem/h.

REPORT DETAILS

1.0

Background

On September 25, 2018, Oyster Creek certified the permanent removal of fuel from the

reactor vessel (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML18268A258). This met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and

50.82(a)(1)(ii). On October 1, 2018, the NRC notified the licensee that the Operating

Reactor Assessment Program had ceased, and that implementation of the

Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program would begin on October 1, 2018

(ADAMS Accession No. ML18274A221). On July 1, 2019, an amended license was

issued transferring the license from Exelon Generation Co., LLC to Holtec

Decommissioning International, LLC (ADAMS Accession No. ML19164A157). OC is

currently in the Actively Decommissioning, No Fuel in the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) phase

of decommissioning as described in IMC 2561.

2.0

Active Decommissioning Performance and Status Review

2.1

Inspection Procedures 37801, 40801, 71801, 83750

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed on-site decommissioning inspection activities on May 22, and

June 26 - 29, supplemented by in-office reviews and periodic phone calls during the

inspection period. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspectors, interviews

with site personnel, a review of procedures and records, and plant walk-downs.

The inspectors assessed the implementation and effectiveness of HDIs corrective action

program (CAP) for OC by reviewing a sampling of issues, and conditions adverse to

quality entered in the CAP.

The inspectors attended select management meetings, including station oversight

committee and management review committee meetings. Inspectors reviewed

documentation and met with OC management to discuss staffing, status of

decommissioning and upcoming activities to determine if HDI had conducted activities

in accordance with regulatory requirements. The inspectors performed several plant

walk-downs to assess field conditions and decommissioning activities by evaluating

material condition of structures, systems, and components; housekeeping; system

configurations; and worker level of knowledge and procedure use and adherence. These

walk-downs included the new radwaste building, reactor building, Low Level Rad Waste

Storage Facility (LLRWSF), and the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA). Additionally,

the inspectors observed select pre-job briefings and associated work activities, including

but not limited to spraying contaminant fixative to the walls of the SFP and movement of

a liner containing used filters.

The inspectors observed activities, reviewed documentation, and interviewed personnel

associated with occupational radiation exposure to evaluate the licensees protection of

worker health and safety as well as the staffing of the radiological protection department.

The inspectors conducted site walk-downs, including radiologically controlled areas, to

examine and verify radiological postings, and airborne and contamination controls. The

inspectors reviewed radiation work permits (RWPs) and As Low As Reasonably

4

Achievable (ALARA) work plans to determine if radiation work activities were

pre-planned effectively to limit worker exposure. Inspectors also attended various

briefings where radiological and industrial safety during work activities were discussed.

The inspectors observed radiation protection (RP) staff perform work activities. The

inspectors observed the RP coverage during the following work activities: (1) lifting

and movement of the liner and (2) spray painting contaminant fixative in the SFP.

Additionally, the inspectors observed staff donning and doffing protective clothing and

using portal exit monitors out of the RCA. During the inspectors walk-down of the

reactor building and new radwaste building, a sample of instruments was checked for

their condition and calibration.

The inspectors reviewed documentation and interviewed personnel associated with

safety reviews, design changes, and modifications. The review included the sites safety

review process and procedures for identifying changes to technical specifications,

determining if the site had appropriate level of staffing and training for its safety review

process, and a review of design basis documents for consistency with design changes

made at the site. Additionally, a sample of design changes and screenings was

reviewed.

The inspectors reviewed documentation and discussed with HDI the overall financial

status of decommissioning for OC and evaluated the use of decommissioning trust funds

to determine if they were appropriately used in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The inspectors also discussed any significant changes to the estimated cost for, and any

potential significant delays to, the decommissioning schedule.

b. Observations and Findings

The inspectors determined that issues had been identified, entered into the CAP, and

evaluated commensurate with their safety significance through document review,

interviews, and observation of several management review committee and station

oversight committee meetings.

The inspectors noted that during this inspection period, the site continued

decommissioning and dismantlement activities in the new radwaste building. The

inspectors noted that for the areas of the plant toured, the material condition and

housekeeping was adequate. The inspectors determined through plant tours, document

reviews, and observations of activities that HDI conducted activities in accordance with

the regulatory requirements. The inspectors noted that workers were knowledgeable of

and adhered to plant procedures and work plans, and pre-job briefings were thorough

and highlighted specific safety concerns.

The inspectors verified that the RWPs, ALARA work plans, and micro-ALARA plans

were implemented to limit worker exposure. The inspectors determined that RP staff

effectively controlled observed work activities and used appropriate equipment during

those work activities. Inspectors noted during the liner movement, the RP personnel

conducted continuous instrument dose rate measurements, had effective communication

for individuals to move to low dose areas, and had proper controls during the movement

such as postings and guards were appropriate in identifying the magnitude and extent of

the radiological hazard. The licensee plans for the work were commensurate with the

risk of the work and associated hazards. The inspectors verified that selected

instruments during walk-downs were in calibration and in working condition.

5

The inspectors determined that screenings and design changes were properly

performed in accordance with the sites safety review process and procedures and in

accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. The inspectors determined the licensees safety review

process committee was appropriately staffed and had a training program consistent with

site requirements. Inspectors determined design basis documents were appropriately

consistent with design changes.

The inspectors reviewed financial assurance documentation, including HDIs annual

report on the status of decommissioning funding and met with HDI staff to determine

whether the funds were used as expected and if any changes could significantly impact

the sites decommissioning financial assurance. The inspectors noted that the annual

report included a notification of schedule change in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7).

This schedule change related to a delay of activities and partial site release but did not

impact the milestones for the overall scheduled license termination dates. An open item

was initiated to track the NRCs continued review of sampled withdrawals from the

decommissioning trust funds to determine if such withdrawals were in accordance with

regulatory requirements (Open Item 05000219/2023002-01), Continued review of

decommissioning trust fund withdrawals).

c. Conclusions

No violations of more than minor safety significance were identified.

2.2

Inspection Procedure 86750, Solid Radioactive Waste Management and Transportation

of Radioactive Materials

a. Inspection Scope

On May 22, 2023, the inspectors reviewed activities and documentation, performed site

walk-downs, and observed work activities associated with the possession, processing,

storage, and shipment of licensed radioactive material.

The inspectors performed a focused review of the circumstances surrounding a

May 3, 2023, radioactive material shipment (Shipping Manifest Number OC-23-0208)

from OC to IPEC. The radioactive material shipment (two packages via an Exclusive

Use open transport vehicle) was received at IPEC on May 3, 2023. Upon receipt, one of

the packages, which contained contaminated equipment (a Class B/C waste alignment

fixture), was found to have radiation levels on the external surface (topside) in excess of

the DOT radiation limit for external surface of packages shipped by Exclusive Use open

transport vehicles, as specified in 49 CFR 173.441. Specifically, 49 CFR 173.441 limits

the radiation level on the surfaces of such packages to 200 mrem/h. When received at

IPEC, the radiation level on the surface of one of the packages was measured as 450

mrem/h. Upon identification, HDI documented the issue in its CAP as OYS-03315.

During an inspection at IPEC May 16 - 18, 2023, the inspectors witnessed the

as-received condition of the OC shipment in the Unit 3 vapor containment. The

inspectors observed the conduct of radiological surveys of the package conducted by

IPEC RP personnel, and the radiological controls implemented to open and examine the

package contents. In addition, the inspectors reviewed shipping documentation,

including all receipt surveys conducted by IPEC personnel.

6

b. Observations and Findings

The inspectors performed walk-downs of several radioactive materials storage areas,

including the LLRWSF and RCA yard, and determined that radioactive material was

adequately stored, and the areas were posted in accordance with regulatory

requirements. The inspectors observed portions of radiological surveys for an outgoing

shipment and determined that RP staff performed their surveys in accordance with site

procedures. The inspectors noted that no abnormal dose rates were identified.

Apparent Violation

One apparent violation was identified for HDIs failure to properly prepare and ship a

package containing radioactive material in a manner that assured, under conditions

normally incident to transport, conformance with DOT radiation level limitations specified

by 49 CFR 173.441, i.e., 200 mrem/h on any external surface of the package.

Inadequate radiological surveys were performed at OC that indicated that the package

conformed with the DOT regulatory requirements. However, when the shipment arrived

at IPEC on May 3, 2023, the maximum radiation dose rate on the external surface of the

package (topside) was measured as 450 mrem/h.

On May 3, 2023, HDI shipped reactor segmentation tooling (a Class B/C waste

alignment plate) to IPEC as Low Specific Activity Category II (i.e., LSA-II) material using

Exclusive Use controls in an open transport vehicle. The segmentation tooling was

packaged in an Industrial Package Type IP-1 package (i.e., a polyethylene bag). The

radiation survey used to verify that the contact dose rates on the loaded package were

under regulatory limits was performed on the packaged tool prior to the package being

strapped down in its final shipping configuration. The April 28, 2023, survey documented

in the shipping package identified a maximum contact dose rate of 120 mrem/h. Upon

receipt, on May 3, 2023, IPECs initial radioactive survey identified a maximum contact

dose rate of 450 mrem/h on top of the package. A confirmatory survey of the package

was performed by IPEC personnel on May 4, 2023, which identified maximum contact

dose rates of 215 and 555 mrem/h at two separate spots on top of the package.

The inspectors noted that the OC procedures did not require that a final shipping survey

be conducted when the package was in its final shipping configuration prior to shipment.

A note in Section 5.3.1 of OC procedure RP-AA-601, Surveying Radioactive Material

Shipments, Revision 21, states: Survey data obtained during package survey(s) may be

used when appropriate for vehicle surveys to reduce re-surveying activities. HDIs

apparent cause evaluation documented that the lack of adequate procedural guidance,

especially for soft-sided packages, as well as a lack of questioning attitude, resulted in a

failure to alert workers of potential geometry changes contributing to this event.

Title 10 CFR 71.5 requires each licensee who transports licensed materials on public

highways to comply with the requirements of the DOT regulations in 49 CFR Parts 170

through 189. Title 49 CFR 173.441 requires that each package of radioactive material

offered for transportation, including those transported by Exclusive Use shipment in an

open transport vehicle, be designed and prepared for shipment so that, under conditions

normally incident to transportation, the radiation level does not exceed 200 mrem/h at

any point on the external surface of the package.

7

Contrary to the above, on May 3, 2023, HDI failed to design and prepare a package of

radioactive material offered for transportation such that, under conditions normally

incident to transportation, the radiation level did not exceed 200 mrem/h at any point on

the external surface of the package. Specifically, the licensee shipped a package

containing radioactive material using Exclusive Use controls in an open transport

vehicle. When the shipment arrived at IPEC, radiation levels of 450 mrem/h were

measured on top of the external surface of the alignment fixture package during the

receipt survey, exceeding the regulatory requirement of 200 mrem/h.

Upon identification, OC documented the condition in issue report OYS-03315; completed

an apparent cause evaluation (ACE-OYS-003315); and identified corrective actions.

These included several procedure revisions to evaluate the potential for soft-sided

package geometry to be changed during the shipping process and to require a

verification shipping survey when the package has been secured to the trailer in its final

configuration prior to transport. Additional corrective actions include a training or briefing

on soft-sided package geometry considerations to be provided to both drivers and staff

associated with shipping activities, as well as distributing a communication to workers

at all HDI sites to strengthen shipping communications. Pending final significance

determination, this violation is identified as an apparent violation, (AV 05000219/2023002-02, Radioactive Material Shipment Package Dose Rate

Exceeded.)

c. Conclusions

One apparent violation was identified that is being considered for escalated

enforcement.
