SUBJECT:

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - SECURITY DECOMMISSIONING INSPECTION REPORT 05000293/2020401

Dear Ms. Cowan:

On November 24, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the permanently shut down Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim). On-site inspections were performed on November 2 - 6, 2020. Additional inspection activities (in-office reviews) were conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) during the inspection period (October 26 - November 24, 2020). The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed select procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed site personnel. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. J. Scott Thompson, Executive Director of Holtec Security, and other members of your staff.

Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors documented one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as a Non-Cited (NCV),

consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to: (1) the Regional Administrator, Region I; and (2) the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
