SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 07200046/12001(DNMS) AND 05000409/12009(DNMS) LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION

Dear Mr. Berg:

On October 22, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection of initial loading activities of an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at the shutdown La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) facility. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether initial loading operations were conducted in accordance with the conditions of the general license and NRC requirements. On October 22, 2012, during the final 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 ISFSI initial loading activities as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the enclosed inspection 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.

No violations of significance were identified.

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 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 Division of Nuclear Materials Safety Docket Nos. 072-00046 and 050-00409 License No. DPR-45
