SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000002/2012002(DNMS) FORD NUCLEAR REACTOR

Dear Mr. Alexander:

On September 11, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed inspection activities at the Ford Nuclear Reactor. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether the decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. Specifically, during an onsite inspection on December 3 - 6, 2012, and subsequent in-office review through September 11, 2013, the inspector evaluated decommissioning performance and performed independent radiation surveys and sampling activities assisted by personnel from Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). At the conclusion of the on-site inspection, the inspector discussed the interim inspection results with you and members of your staff. A final report from ORAU with the results of the surveys and sampling was provided to the NRC on August 1, 2013. At the conclusion of the in-office review, a final telephone exit meeting was conducted on September 18, 2013, to discuss the final results with members of your staff.

This inspection consisted of an examination of decommissioning activities at the Ford Nuclear Reactor 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, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC did not identify any violations.

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 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 website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. We will gladly discuss any questions you may have regarding this inspection.

Sincerely,/RA by Wayne J. Slawinski Acting For/ Robert J. Orlikowski, Chief Materials Control, ISFSI, and Decommissioning Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety Docket No. 050-00002 License No. R-28
