EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
NRC Inspection Report No. 07200039/2014001 An announced safety inspection was conducted from April 17 - 18, 2014, at the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (Connecticut Yankee) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The inspector assessed whether Connecticut Yankee personnel were operating and maintaining ISFSI programs at an away-from-reactor (AFR) ISFSI in conformance with the commitments and requirements contained in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR),
Safety Evaluation Report (SER), Certificate of Compliance (CoC), Technical Specifications (TS),
Quality Assurance (QA) program, Connecticut Yankee procedures, and 10 CFR Part 72. The inspector's review was directed toward confirming the ongoing adequacy of the radiation protection, fire protection, emergency preparedness, surveillance, maintenance, environmental monitoring, training, QA, and corrective action programs. The inspector observed activities, interviewed personnel, and reviewed records and procedures. Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.

I. Organization and Radiation Safety Program
a. Inspection Scope
(Inspection Procedure (IP) 60858)
The inspector assessed whether Connecticut Yankee personnel were operating and maintaining ISFSI programs at an AFR ISFSI in conformance with the commitments and requirements contained in the FSAR, SER, CoC, TS, QA program, Connecticut Yankee procedures, and 10 CFR Part 72.
AFR ISFSI facilities, located at sites where loading operations have been completed, are essentially passive operating facilities. The inspector's review was directed towards confirming the ongoing adequacy of the radiation protection, fire protection, emergency preparedness, surveillance, maintenance, environmental monitoring, training, QA, and corrective action programs.
The inspector observed activities, interviewed personnel, and reviewed records and procedures. The inspector also reviewed changes made to Connecticut Yankee's programs and procedures since the last inspection to verify that changes were consistent with the license or CoC and did not reduce the effectiveness of the program.
b. Observations and Findings
The inspector determined that Connecticut Yankee's plans and preparations for controlling radiological activities were effective at meeting 10 CFR Part 20 requirements.
The inspector also verified that special nuclear material (SNM) stored at the ISFSI was properly accounted for. Dosimetry records and environmental monitoring reports were reviewed. All employees were below the regulatory dose limits and the dose requirements for members of the public at the nearest accessible location to the ISFSI were within limits prescribed by 10 CFR 72.104.
Connecticut Yankee's emergency preparedness program properly coordinated with the appropriate offsite support groups, agencies, and local law enforcement agencies (LLEAs). The emergency call list was current and checked periodically for accuracy. All revisions to the emergency plan have been submitted to the NRC and reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR).
Daily temperature monitoring of the vertical concrete casks (VCCs) was performed by Connecticut Yankee personnel in accordance with surveillance requirements in the TS. Connecticut Yankee's procedures contain backup plans if the primary surveillance method was unavailable. The inspector performed a tour of the ISFSI pad and did not note any material condition issues that would impact the performance of the pad and loaded VCCs. The inspector also verified that transient combustibles were not being stored on the ISFSI pad or in the vicinity of the VCCs and confirmed vehicle entry onto the ISFSI pad was controlled in accordance with site procedures.
4 Inspection Report No. 07200039/2014001 C:\RawFiles\ML14127A390.docx Connecticut Yankee has a training program which consists of classroom, and on-the-job training, as well as briefings performed by supervisors. Refresher training was given on a regular basis and retraining was given as necessary if human performance issues were identified. All employees have been trained and qualified to perform their assigned ISFSI-related functions.
The inspector reviewed the most recent independent audit of the ISFSI program. The inspector determined that issues were entered into the corrective action program, prioritized, and evaluated commensurate with their safety significance. Corrective actions were implemented to address identified issues and were tracked to closure. The QA program evaluated changes in the ISFSI program to ensure that any changes that were implemented would not decrease the overall effectiveness of the program. The inspector also reviewed Connecticut Yankee's 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation report and ensured it was being appropriately updated.
c. Conclusions
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.
II.
Exit Meeting Summary
On April 18, 2014, the inspector presented the inspection results to Brantley Buerger, ISFSI Manager. The inspector confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.
