NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 05000409/2018001(DNMS);

07200046/2018001(DNMS) - LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR

Dear Mr. Sauger:

On January 16, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor in Genoa, Wisconsin. 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. Gerard van Noordennen of your staff on January 16, 2019.

The inspection consisted of an examination of activities at the facility as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations. Areas examined during the inspection included management and control, radiological safety, confirmatory surveys, and operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, field observations of activities in progress, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC identified one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into your Corrective Action Program, the NRC is treating this issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC's Enforcement Policy.

No response is required for the NCV. However, if you contest the violation or significance of the NCV, 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 copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the Director, Office of Enforcement.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRCs Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rhex Edwards of my staff at 630-829-9722.

Sincerely,

/RA/
