JUN 8 G88 MEMORANDUM FOR: Those on the Attached List FROM: Edward L. Jordan, Director Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data

SUBJECT:

INCIDENT RESPONSE TRAINING PROGRAM As a result of the Federal Field Exercise (FFE), it has been decided to standardize the Incident Response Training program. This effort will be coordinated with the training being developed under the program described in my memorandum of February 17, 1988 to Office Directors and Regional Administrators,

Subject:

Plan for Developing Qualification and Technical Training Programs.

The following are provided for your retention and review:

1. Enclosure 1 shows the response positions and their associated training modules for your team,
2. Enclosure 2 provides the objectives, duration, references, handouts and qualified instructor for each module.

Virtually all of this training is either based on approved training that has been given many times over the past several years or on specific tools or procedures that currently exist.

F Our objective is to provide this level of training on a one to two year basis. There are several modules, but generally each is comprised of only one to two hours of training. Various modules will be grouped together i

to form courses depending on the needs of the team members. The supporting

course materials will be developed by our of fice. The Incident Response Branch, in cooperation with the Technical Training Center (TTC), will provide the training to the Headquarters staff and conduct "train the

, trainers" sessions for the regions on the technical material. Short courses (1 day) will also be offered in the regions on protective measures and reactor safety materials. It will be the regions' responsibility to coordinate additional training for those unable to attend these sessions.

The TTC will conduct most of the 300 series modules concerning reactor

  • accident assessment.

The training to be provided to an individual varies depending on the coeplexity of the task performed. For example, on the Protective 14easures Teas the range of time varies from 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> for the Protective Measures Manager to 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> for the State Radiological and Emergency Services Coordinator. These times include participation in a 1 day ,

(8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />) exercise.

l .

Multiple Addressees ggg The manual chapter on the Incident Response Program is being revised to include the training program requirements. This will be provided to you in draf t for your comment.

hhe are requesting your eminents on both of the enclosures (modules chosen for each position or changes to the description of each module). These  ;

should be forwarded to Karen Jackson by July 1,1988.

Thank you for your assistance.

Subject:

Routine Inspection No.88-001 On April 28, 1988, Cristina Schulingkamp of this office conducted a routine safety inspection at the above address of activities authorized by the above listed NRC license. The inspection was an examination of your licensed activ-ities as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Comission's regulations and the license conditions. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with personnel, and a selective examination of representative records. The findings of the inspection were discussed with Thomas Sabatino at the conclusion of the inspection.

Based on the results of our April 28, 1988 inspection, it appears that your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements. A Notice of Violation is enclosed as Appendix A and categorizes each violation by severity Procedure level in accordance for NRC withActions,"

Enforcement the "General 10 CFR Statement of Policy Part 2. Appendix C (and Enforcarent Policy). You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

Subsequent to the inspection you alleged, in a letter dated May 16, 1988, that my staff had repeatedly contacted you for the same infonnation and had apparently misfiled, misplaced or ignored your responses. In a letter dated June 9,1988, I infomed you ! would look into your concerns and respond by June 30, 1988. This letter constitutes that response.

My staff has prepared a chronology of events related to the items discussed in your letter. The chronology is enclosed as Appendix B. Based on the chronology and review of the matter with the involved merbers of ry staff, plus review of our experiences in the handling of several thousand pieces of correspondence each year, I have concluded that it is extremely unlikely that three difference pieces of correspondence from the same licensee could have been nisplaced or misfiled. I do not know why your letters dated June 10, 1985, Septenber 18, 1986 and August 11, 1987 were not received by our office, but I do not believe that all three could have been lost if they were received. Noretheless, I note that we are not without fault in this natter.

On several occasions over the past three years we have not provided timely followr to contracts with your organization. I do, however, appreciate your providing copies of your earlier letters with your letter dateo May 16, 1988.

APPENDIX B Chronology of Events involving the unauthorized transfer of an electron capture detector from Gow&c Instrument Company [(Gow-Mac) License Number 29-21079-01]

to C. A.L Technologies incorporated [(C. A.L.) License Number 29-19541-01].

1. On January 24,19P,, Judith Joustra of this office contacted Mr. Robert Mathieu of Gow-M' .:. The telephone inouiry was the initial contact with Gow Mac after t'e issuance of the license. It was detemined that the licensee wanter to teminate the license and a Certificate of Disposition of Materi .. Aus sent to the licensee in a letter dated February 1,1965.
2. The licensee completed the Certificate on March 26, 1985. It was received by this office on April 2, 1985. The Certificate listed C. A. L. Technology as the recipient of the Tracor electron capture detector (ECO). The transfer reportedly took place on March 19, 1985.
3. On May 7,1985, Ms. Joustra telephoned Mr. Mathieu and infortred him that temination of the Gow-Mac license would be delayed pending the company's reply to a f:otice of Violation (h0V) that was being issued. He was infomed that the transfer of the Tracor ECD to C. A.L. was not authorized, since C. A.L.'s license did not authorize the possession of a Tracor ECD.
a. On May 24, 1985, a NOV was issued by the Region 1 Office to Cow-Mac. The NOV required c reply from Gow-Mac as to the actions that they would take within thirty days to correct the situation concerning the unauthorized transfer.
5. The licensee submitted a reply to the NOV dated June 12, 1985, which was signed by Mr. Mathieu of Gow Mac. The response stated that he had been in contact with a representative from C. A.L. and that C. A.L. was "submitting an extension of their current license to covar the Tracor detector." This respense was dened to be satisfactory ano a letter acknowledging the response was issued by the Region on July 11, 1985.
6. Based on the above infomation and a confirmatory telephone contact (sce paragraphs 9 and 10A) with a representative from C.A.L., Gow-Mac's license was terininated on July 15, 1985.
7. C. A.L's license was issued on January 16, 1961. The mailing address was listed as 66 Hudson Street, Clif ton, New Jersey 07011. The place of use was listed as 978 Evergreen Drive, Branchburg lownship Somerset Cuunty, New Jersey. The authorized material consisted of not more than 2 milli-curies of nickel-63 in a Hewlett-Packard ECD, Model No. 2-6195.

Appendix B 2

8. Amendment Number 1 to C.A.L's license was issued on January 27, 1982, in response to a request from the licensee to add authority to possess the sources in a Hewlett-Packard Model 5790 gas chromatograph its license.

The gas chromatograph contained two ECD's containing not more than 15 mil 11 curies of nickel-63 per foil. The ECD's are Model No. 18713A.

I

9. On May 7,1985 Ms. Joustra contacted C. A.L. to confirm that the licensee had received the Tracor ECD from Gow-Mac. The licensee representative, Ms.

pandy Olsen, confimed that they possessed the ECD, and would submit a license amendment requ et.

10. A NOV was issued by this office to C.A.L. on May 24, 1985. It was our understandino at that time, based on the May 7,1986 telephone discussion, that the licensee planned to continue possession of the Tracor ECD. The licensee was required to reply te the letter with their cor-rective actions and, as part of those corrective actions, to submit an amendment to include the Tracor ECD on their license. A search of NRC files revealed no evidence of a response ever having been received by the NRC.
11. Mr. Steven Courtemanche of this office contacted Mr. Thomas Sabatino of C.A.L. on June 24, 1986. The licensee was informed that their license had expired en January 31, 1986 and that no renewal application had been received. Mr. Courtemanche understood that the licensee possessed three gas chromatographs and the place of use was 978 Evergreen Drive, Somerville, New Jersey. A comitment was made by the license to renew their license. (Byproduct material in their possession actually included the ECDs in two Hewlett-Packard gas chromatcgraphs anc ene Tracor ECD, based on infomation subsequently obtained on June 7,1988).
12. In an undated note added to Mr. Courtenanche's telephone conversation record of the June 24, 1986 call to Mr. Sabatino, Ms. Joustra recorded that she had contacted the licensee subsequent to June 24, 1986 and detemined that the licensee has changed its mailing address. The new
nailing address was listed in Ms. Joustra's note as 19 Ross Street, Somerville, New Jersey.

j

13. An NOV was issued by the NRC Region ! Office en July 1,1986 to C. A.L..

The NOV required that all licensed material on hand be placed in storage until such time as a new license was issued. A search of NRC files revealed no reply to this NOV ever having been receivec Dy the NRC.

14. Mr. Courtemanche contacted Mr. Sabatino on May 19, 1987 and infomed him that there was no record of a response to either of the NOVs previously issued by the NRC, and that the licenu renewal application had not been l received by the NRC. Mr. Sabatino st & l that he thought Randy Olsen had already sent in a renewal application. 4 agreed that the Tracor ECD required an amendeent in order to be added 'o the license. Lastly, he stated that copics would be r.ade of the rerewal application if it could be ,

! found, othervise a new application would be made.

J Appendix B 3

15. On June 12,19M, Mr. Courtemanche contacted Mr. Sabatino. Mr. Sabatino stated that Randy Olsen had sent in the renewal application the previous week. A search of NRC files revealed no evidence of the application having been received by the NRC, at that time.
16. Mr. Courtenanche attempted to conduct an inspection of the facilities listed on the license in 1987. On July 30, he found that the mailing address (66 Hudson Street, Clif ton, New Jersey) was a private home in a residential neighborhood and that the hone no longer belonged to the licensee. He then contacted Mr. Sabatino by phone. He was infonned that the place of use was 19 Ross Street and that activities were no longer being conducted at the 978 Evergreen Drive facilities. The licensee was told that the inspector would arrive at the licensee's facilities the next day.
17. The inspector arrived at 19 Ross Street, Somerville, New Jersey at 9:00 A.M.

on July 31, 1987. The facilities were a converted private home in a resi-dential neighborhood. No licensee representative was available at that tirne to assist Mr. Courtemanche with the inspection. Tim Black, a techni-cian, arrived at the facility at approximately 10:30 A.M. and allowed the inspector into the facilities. Mr. Black accompanied the inspector on a tour of the facilities. The two Hewlett-Packard gas chroratographs were found in the laboratory but the Tracor ECD could not be found. Mr. Black was unfamiliar with the progran and stated that Mr. Sabatino was the only user since Pandy Olsen was on maternity leave. Mr. Black also stated that Mr. Sabatino was at a meeting in Newark. New Jersey and would be unavailable for the rest of the day.

10. Pr. Courtenanche conducted an exit interview with Mr. Black. He was provided with ecpies of the previous NOV's and an NRC Form-3 to post.

Enforcerent options and the urgent need for the licensee to get in an applicaticn for renewal of the license were discussed. Mr. Black was advised that the unresolved matter of the Tracor ECD would need to be addressed in the reply to a new NOV that would be sent to them, and that responses were required to the other outstanding NOVs. The inspector left the licensee's facilities at 11:30 A.M.

, 19. A renewal application was received by the NRC Region i Office on August 14, 1987. Since the license had expired, it was treated as a new license request. The applicatien did not address the rnatter of the Tracor ECD but did address the natters of the new place of use and the expired license.

A new license (No. 29-19541-02) was issued October 2, 1987.

'0.

t Ms. Betsy Ullrich contacted Ms. Randy Olsen of C. A.l.. on February 12, 1988. Ms. Olsen stated that a letter had been sent to the NRC explaining what had happened with the Tracor gas chromatograph. Ms. Ullrich explained that the licensee comitted tc f end a copy of that letter to the NRC.

21. On April 11, 1988, a NOV was issued with a cover letter by the Region i Office to C. A.L. The cover letter reviewed the history of past NOV's and that no reply had been received for any of them. The scope of the inspec-tion of July 30 and 31,1987 was addressed. Continued concern about the Tracor ECD and the fact that its whereabouts was uncertain and not addressed in the application was brought to the attention of the licensee.

Possible escalated enforcement actions were addressed for knowing or willful violations and failure to respond to a NOV.

22. Mrs. Christina Schulingkamp conducted a full inspection of License Number 29-19541-02 on April 28, 1988. Mr. Thomas Sabatino was the licensee repre-sentative during the inspection. Three apparent items of ncricompliance were identified during her inspection. 1) failure to post NRC Fortn-3 and other required documents. (The licensee had been su the document to post at the previous inspection); 2)pplied with leak tests of athe copy of ECD's had not been conducted at the required six-month interval,
3) physical inver. tories had not been performed. Mr. Sabatino stated that the Tracor ECD had been shipped out the previous year. No shipping papers were made available to be reviewed by the inspector. Mr. Sabatino also stated that the company would be relocating later in the year.
23. Mrs. Schulingkamp contacted the licensee on April 29, 1988 by telephone.

The licensee was informed that it would be necessary to amend the license tc include the new place of use before they began operations there. Infor-mation was reouested concerning the transfer of the Tracor ECD. The licensee stated that the ECD had been sent back to Gow-Mac and the name of a contact person was supplied.

2t. On April 29, 1988, Mrs. Schulingkamp contacted representatives of Gow-Mac to detemine if they had received the ECD. Representatives of Gow-Mac returned the phcne call on May 1, 1988. The Gow-Mac representative initially said that he knew they were ret licensed to possess the ECO and should not have received it. However, your checking his inventory, he detennined that they had received the ECD in the early part of 1988. They stated that the Gow-l'.ac representative had informed a C. A.L. representa-tive that Gow-Mac did not have a license and that the material should be shipped directly to Western Scientific Instrument, Incorporated (Western), i

25. A response to the NOV issued on April 11, 1988 was dated May 16, 1988.

Enclosures included the letter from the NRC dated April 11, 1986, and apparent copies of letters f rom the licensee dated June 10, 1985 Septer.ber 18, 1986 and August 11. 1987. Objections were made to all the apparent items of noncompliance listed in previous correspondence from the NRC. Request for redress of the above rentioned itens was made by the licensee.

Appendix B 5

26. Mr. Courtemanche contacted Mr. Robert Mathieu of Gow-Mac on June 7,1988 for more infomation regarding the most recent transfer of the ECD. He believed that a representative from C. A.L. had driven te the Gow-Mac facility and left the ECD with with shipping / receiving, despite earlier warnings to C. A.L. that he did not have a license for the ECD. Mr.

Mathieu did not realize that the ECD was in his possession until he had discussed the matter with Mrs. Schulingkamp on May 1,1988. He then had the ECD packaged for shipment to Western, which is an associate company of Gow-Mac's. Western holds California State License No. 2218-07.

27. Mr. Courtemanche contacted Gerald Wong, Ph.D., of the California Department of Health, Radiological Health Section, to detemine if Western has a valid licer.se for the possession of the Tracor ECD. Dr. Wong confimed that the licenseo had a current license on file (LN 2218-07, amendment number 6, issued May,1986) for the possession and use of two Tracor ECD's containing not more than 15 millicuries of nickel-63 per foil.
28. Mr. Courtemanche contacted Mr. Kendell Dempster of Western on June 7,1988.

Mr. Dempster stated that he was expecting the delivery from Gew-Mac but that no record of the ECD arriving at his facility was available. He agreed to send this office a letter confiming the receipt of the source when it arrived.

29. Mr. Courtemanche contacted Mr. Mathieu of Gow-Mac on June 8,1988. Mr.

Mathieu stated that he had been in touch with his shipping department and that the Tracor ECD was still in their possession. The shipping depart-rent is waiting for the proper forms fron UPS so that UPS will accept the shipment and deliver it to Western. Mr. Mathieu comitted to sending a copy of the earliest inventory when they knew that C. A.L. had placed the ECD into their possession and a copy of the shipping papers when the ECD is shipped out.

Subject:

Operational Safety Review As a result of the accident involving the release of uranium hexafluoride from Kerr-McGee's Sequoyah Fuels Facility in Gore, Oklahoma, on January 4, 1986, the NRC has been conducting operational safety reviews at selected major fuel cycle and materials facilities. The review at your New Brunswick facilities will be conducted by a team from the NRC, Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and The Food and Drug Administration. The review has been scheduled for the week of August 8, 1988. The team leader, Dr. John Glenn, will contact your of fice at a later date to arrange a time for the entrance briefing.

During the review, the team will examine existing conditions at your far.ility to identify potential safety hazards that, when combined with facility opera-tions, could impact public health and safety. The team will also examine whether there are systems and procedures in place to identify the use and handling of hazardous materials which could result in radiological safety consequences, and will determine whether these are adequately implemented. The areas to be covered include personnel training, waste management, and operations, including procedure control, equipment meintenance, environmental monitoring, non-radioactive chemical control, fire protection, radiological contingency planning, package certifica-tion and transportation procedures.

After the review, the NRC will determine if measures are necessary to address any safety problems identified during the review. The review is not an inspec-tion; it is intended to provide feedback to both the NRC and fuel cycle and materials licensees. However, if a violation of a federal requirement is iden-tified during the review, it will be cited. Records of: reviews and audits conducted by your personnel i maintenance; training; and contingency plan drills should be niade available for review while the review team is at your facility, in order to facilitate the review, please provide to this office by July 25, 1988, a copy of your existing procedures which cover employee training, waste management, equipment maintenance, nonradioactive chemical control, fire pro-tection, operational safety and contingency planning, environmental monitoring, package certification and transportation of radioactive materials, I
