==Dear Mr. Sauger:==
In accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2561, Decommissioning Power Reactor Inspection Program, and IMC 2690, Inspection Program for Dry Cask Storage of Spent Reactor Fuel at Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations and for Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 71 Transportation Packagings, the NRC Region III staff developed a Master Inspection Plan (MIP) for the Zion Station for calendar year 2016. The inspection plan is based on your current performance in executing the site decommissioning project and your planned decommissioning activities for the site in January through December 2016. The plan outlines how we intend to focus our regional inspection resources to provide oversight for decommissioning activities including the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation.
The MIP is based, in part, on your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities for calendar year 2016. As a result, the plan and the focus of inspection activities may change to reflect those activities or your performance. In order to ensure that this MIP remains current, we request that you keep the Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch (MCID) staff informed of any significant changes in your proposed schedule of decommissioning activities.
You will be informed of significant changes to our plans for inspections at the Zion site.
Since the site initiated significant decommissioning activities in 2011, and those activities are planned to continue throughout 2016, the NRC regional office intends to perform nominally one routine onsite decommissioning safety inspection per month. Additionally, we intend to complete an ISFSI inspection and 10 CFR Part 37 material security review as provided in Temporary Instruction (TI) 2800/041 Revision 1.
The following is a list of the inspection procedures we expect to use during our inspections in 2016. The procedures used during each inspection will depend on the specific activities being conducted at the site. Additional discretionary inspection procedures may be used if decommissioning or ISFSI activities warrant.
