NRC INSPECTION REPORT 050-00295/12-008(DNMS); 050-00304/12-008(DNMS) ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Christian:

On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed onsite inspection activities for the second calendar quarter of 2012 at the permanently shut-down Zion Nuclear Power Station in Zion, Illinois. 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 with Mr. Daly and other ZionSolutions site management by telephone on July 18, 2012.

During the inspection period, the NRC inspectors reviewed the radioactive effluent monitoring and control program as provided in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), spent fuel pool safety, plus elements of the radiation protection program including radiation survey protocols for the unconditional release of materials and equipment from the site.

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 effort, the inspectors did not identify any violations of NRC requirements.

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 and the enclosed report 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. We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Christine A. Lipa, Chief Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety Docket Nos. 050-00295; 050-00304 License Nos. DPR-39; DPR-48 Enclosure:
