Licensee Actions on Previous Inspection Findings 3.
There were two unresolved items relating to procedures resulting from the prior inspection of Material Control and Accountin These were previously reviewed by the Resident Inspector and were close MC 307038 - Exit Interview The inspectors, accompanied by M. Auerbach, NRC Headquarters, met with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on September 17, 198 The scope and findings of the inspection were discusse.
MC 851028 - Material Control and Accounting (Reactor) Organiz~tion and Operation b.
No items of noncompliance were identifie The licensee's organizational structure was responsive to material control and accounting requirement The possession and use of special nuclear material (SNM) was confined to locations and purposes authorized by the licens Startup of Unit 2 occurred in May 198 Fifty-six fuel assemblies containing approximately 87 Kgs. of U-235 were received during the period September 1 to 15, 1981 for partial refueling of Unit A refueling outage is scheduled during the period November 1981 - February 198 Measurement and Controls No items of noncompliance were identifie The inspectors reviewed the licensee 1 s computation of thermal output, total uranium and uranium-235 depletion, and plutonium production for the period April 1978 to August 198 The thermal output is used as input to the 11 HP Burnup and Isotopic Code 11 *
The licensee uses the 11 TOTE 11 computer program as an alternate technique in determining uranium/U-235 depletion and plutonium productio Shipping and Receiving No items of noncompliance were identifie The licensee established and maintains procedures to assure that all SNM received or shipped was accurately accounted fo The reactor engineer, or his designee, was re~ponsible for fuel accountability and control and for maintenance of associated documentatio Storage and Internal Controls No items of noncompliance were identifie The licensee established a system of controls for SNM that provided current knowledge of the identity, quantity, and location of all SNM-bearing materials possesse Item Control Areas (ICA 1 s) were established which were the new fuel storage pit, reactor core, spent fuel storage pool, and other areas that were appropriate for use or storage of SNM contained in other than fue Transfers of material were controlled by the reactor engineer, or his designee, and were documented on an ICA Transfer Report or an SNM Receipt For Inventory No items of noncompliance were identifie The licensee has conducted inventories as required by 10 CFR 70.5l(d) and the licensee 1 s special nuclear material Accountability Procedure. The licensee 1 s last inventory was performed in March 1981.
The inspectors conducted a piece count of fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool and the new fuel storage and compared the results with the licensee 1s record There were no discrepancie Records and Reports No items of noncompliance were identifie *
The inspection results were obtained through a review of the licensee 1 s records and reports and underlying dat All Material Balance Reports (DOE/NRC Form 742) issued by the licensee during the inspection period were reviewed as were all Nuclear Material Transaction reports (DOE/NRC Form 741) documenting 59 receipts and 1 shipmen Enriched uranium fission and transmutation and plutonium production and decay records were also reviewe Results of the records and reports audit were reconciled with the licensee 1 s physical inventory accounts as verified by the inspectors on September,.6, 198 Specifically, the book inventory,. in total, was reconciled with the totals of the licensee 1s last physical inventory of March 21, 1981 to assure accurac The only change to the inventory through September 16, 1981, was the addition of five receipt Attached to this report as Exhibits I and II is a summary of the licensee 1 s Material Activity for the period April l, 1978 to March 31, 198 Management of the Material Control System No items of noncompliance were identifie The licensee 1 s system provides for development, implementation, and revision of the nuclear material control and accounting procedures. The procedures were a part of the Station Operating Manual and were to be modified and incorporated into the Reactor Engineering Procedures Manua An annual audit of the material control and accounting program was conducted by the Quality Assurance Departmen EXHIBIT I Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem 1 Material Balance for Period: April 1, 1978 - March 31, 1981 Reporting Identification Symbol:
