Annual Report No. 53 GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy has maintained the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor (VBWR) in a deactivated status under the authority of Amendment No. 21 to license DPR-1, Docket 50-18, issued Oct 22, 2007. In this annual report, a summary of the status of the facility for the period of January 1, 2.017 to December 31, 2017 is presented, as required by paragraph S.d.2 of the license. 1.0

SUMMARY

All reactor systems have been removed from the containment except for the reactor vessel. The water level within the reactor vessel was monitored and has remained essentially constant throughout the report period. Radiation and contamination levels remain at acceptable levels. Environmental data is maintained on site and available for review. 2.0 STATUS OF FACILITY In accordance with written procedures, the Facility Manager controls access to the containment building and general systems. The facility continues to be in deactivated status in safe storage condition.

3.0 RADIATION AND CONTAMINATION Complete radiation and contamination surveys of the fadtity indicate that levels remain low. Results of the surveys are presented in attachment

1. Air sampling results are presented in attachment
2. The radiation/contamination levels listed are representative but not necessarily maximum values. During the 2017 annual inspection in December a small volume of water was found in the basement of the VBWR containment.

Due to this volume of water, no direct surveys or smears were taken in this particular area. In April, another entry was made to re-inspect the area. As water was still present, a sample was taken for analysis wiU1 the results attached below. In Page 1 of3 VBWR Annual Rec:ton No. 53 addition.

CR#28719 was initiated to track this issue to resolution.

Action items include removing water from the containment basement as well as a formal evaluation of how the water entered into this area. This evaluation is beginning in late June, early July.

6.0 CONCLUSION

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy concludes that the deactivated VBWR is being maintained in a safe shutdown condition.

The inspections, access control, and administratively controlled activities ensure maximum protection for the public health (lnd safety. The procedures will be continued to maintain this high level of protection.
