Material Control and Accounting Program a.
Program Management - The inspector verified through a review of records that the licensee maintained written procedures for nuclear matorial control and accounting and that written statements of responsibility and authority existed for those positions with responsibility for special nuclear material (SNM).
b.
Shipping and Receiving The inspector determined through a review of licensee records that the licensee maintained procedures to assure that' all nuclear material shipped or received was accurately accounted for.
A review was performed of all DOE /NRC Form-741's generated during i
the period April 1, 1987 through September 30, 1989, to assure that each was properly signed, dispatched in a timely manner, and that the data were accurate.
No discrepancies were noted.
c.
Storage and Internal Control
,
The inspector determined through observations and reviews of records
,
that the licensee was maintaining a system of storage and internal
'
l control which provided knowledge of the quantity, identity, and current location of all SNM within the facility.
Storage areas were properly maintained and included the reactor core.
'
fuel pool, and new fuel storage vault.
l d.
Inventory l
The inspector performed an inventory verification on
February 28, 1990, which consisted of a piece count of all the l
l irradiated fuel elements, irradiated sectioned elements, and new l
L fuel elements, and compared the fuel location history card file with
the core loading and fuel pool map.

Records and Reports
i The inspector reviewed the licensee's records, reports and source data. All Material Balance Reports (DOE /NRC Form-742), submitted by
'
'
'
the licensee for the period April 1, 1987 to September 30, 1989, were reviewed, as were all Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (DOE /NRC Form-741) to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70.53 and 70.54, u
respectively. Total uranium and uranium-235 depletion records were also reviewed. No discrepancies were noted.
Attached to this report as Exhibit I is a summary of the licensee's SNM activity for the period April 1,1987 through September 30, 1989.
3.
General Physical Security Requirements for SNM of Moderate Strategic Significance The licensee's program for the physical protection of special nuclear L
material of moderate strategic significance was reviewed by the inspector for conformance to the NRC-approved physical security plan. The inspector examined physical barriers, access controls, procedures, and key control, and observed a licensee test of alarm system features.
The inspector found that the licensee's program and its implementation met the general performance requirements and objectives of the governing regulations.
,
i The licensee is in the process of revising its intrusion alarm system testing procedures to clarify the procedures for each type of detector used at the facility.
These procedures will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.

paragraph 1 at the conclusion of the inspection on March 1, 1990 and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
