Inspection Activities
- IMC-2562 provides a roadmap for potentially transitioning a decommissioning reactor to an operating plant
- This guidance includes details on:
10 The Restart Panel Identifying and developing pathway for transition from decommissioning to potential operations Conducting inspections and reviews Outlining NRCs final assessment of plants readiness to restart operation
Inspection Activities
- NRC Region I developed an inspection plan to assess the plants readiness to resume operations
- Inspections will be risk-informed to focus on changes made to the plant, restoration to an operating state, and other items of interest
- Existing NRC procedures will be used to perform the inspection activities
- These inputs are critical for the NRCs final evaluation of the plants readiness to restart 11
TMI-2 Decommissioning
- TMI-2 is in active decommissioning and can proceed in accordance with NRC regulations
- NRC inspects TMI-2 in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program
- Impacts from TMI-2 decommissioning on CCEC needs to be evaluated and mitigated
- Inspections to assure continued safety of CCEC continue 12
