Mr. W. General Manager Dairyland Power Cooperative 3200 East Avenue South P.O. Box 817 La Crosse, WI 54602-0817 SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 072-00046/09-01(DNMS) AND 050-00409/09-02(DNMS) - LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION

Dear Mr. Berg:

On March 4, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its inspection of the dry cask storage pad construction activities at the shutdown La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor facility. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether the dry cask storage pad design and construction activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements and design specifications. At the conclusion of the inspection on March 4, 2011, during an exit teleconference, the NRC inspectors discussed the inspection results with members of your staff. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

The inspection was an examination of the dry fuel storage pad construction activities as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Specifically, the inspectors observed placement of structural fill, reinforcement, and concrete for the storage pad. The inspectors also performed an in-office review of structural calculations related to the storage pad and the haul path. Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examinations of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of these inspections, the inspectors did not identify any violations of NRC requirements.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents 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 Docket Nos.: 72-046 and 50-409 License No.: DPR-45 Enclosure:
