NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000151/12-001(DNMS) UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS NUCLEAR REACTOR

Dear Mr. Holm:

On December 16, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed inspection activities at the permanently shut down University of Illinois Nuclear Reactor, Urbana, IL. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether decommissioning activities were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. Specifically, during on-site inspections on November 28 to 30 and December 14, 2011, and subsequent in-office review through December 16, 2011, the inspector evaluated the licensees decommissioning performance in the areas of transportation of radioactive waste, reviews and audits, effluent control, and health physics and work control related to concrete cutting activities. At the conclusion of the on-site inspections, the inspector discussed the interim inspection results with you and members of your staff. At the conclusion of the in-office review, a final telephone exit meeting was conducted on December 16, 2011, to discuss the final results with you.

This inspection consisted of an examination of decommissioning activities at the site as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions 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, observations of activities in progress, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and the enclosed report will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Document 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/
