SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 050-00295/12-009(DNMS); 050-00304/12-009(DNMS) ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Daly:
On August 28, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for the third calendar quarter of 2012 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Power Station in Zion, Illinois. The inspection continued with in-office review through mid-November 2012. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which were discussed onsite with you and other
ZionSolutions management on October 25, 2012 and by telephone with Patrick Thurman on November 29, 2012.
During the inspection period, the NRC inspector reviewed aspects of spent fuel pool safety, elements of the radiation protection program, and two issues that involved radioactive contamination.
The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the site as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations. Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, observation of work activities, independent radiation measurements, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this quarterly inspection, two violations of regulatory requirements that are of more than minor safety significance were identified. However, because both these violations are of very low safety significance and were documented in your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues as non- cited violations (NCVs) in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
The Enclosure Contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from the enclosure, this transmittal letter is decontrolled. SECURITED RELATED INFORMATION No response is required for the non-cited violations. However, if you contest the subject or severity level of the NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/adams.html. Since the enclosed inspection report contains security related information and must be protected from unauthorized disclosure, the enclosure will not be made available for public inspection.
We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.
Sincerely,
/RA/
