3.0 Management Control The licensec has documented in procedures, the responsibilities and au-thorities associated with radwaste transportation activities. The Radio-logical Controls Division Manager has the overall responsibility and authority for the program. The Radwaste Engineer has been charged with the responsibility for implementing the program, and the Radwaste Shipping Supervisor is responsible to the Radwaste Engineer for the implementation of the program, goals and objectives, on a day to day basi .0 Training Personnel training in transportation activities was reviewed against the criteria contained in IE Bulletin 79-19, " Packaging of low-Level Radio-active Waste for Transport and Burial".

The licensee's performance relative to these criteria for radwaste per-sonnel and quality assurance / quality control personnel was determined by discussions with Radwaste and Quality Assurance / Quality Control personnel, and by reviewing appropriate training record Within the scope of this review, the following was identified by the inspecto Item 5 of IE Bulletin No. 79-19 states, " Provide training and periodic retraining in the DOT and NRC regulatory requirements, the waste burial license requirements, and in your instructions and operating procedures for all personnel involved in the transfer, packaging and transport of radioactive material. Maintain a record of training dates, attendees, and subject material for future inspections by NRC personnel".

The inspector determined that appropriate Radwaste personnel had received the required training in January and December 1985. This training was

'

provided by outside contractors. The inspector also determined that only l one Quality Assurance / Quality Control person attended the training course

,

in January 1985, and there are about 10-15 Quality Assurance / Quality i Control personnel who may be involved in the transfer, packaging, an transport of radioactive material.

,

The Quality Control Division Manager stated that Quality Assurance / Quality

! Control personnel would receive the required training. This item will be

! reviewed in a subsequent inspection (322/86-06-01).

Within the scope of this review, no violations were identified.

Within the scope of this review, no violations were identifie .0 Package Selection The licensee's program for selection of packages was reviewed against the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 71.12, 71.13 and 71.14, and the 00T require-ments of 49 CFR Part 17 The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined by discussion with the Radwaste Engineer and the Radwaste Shipping Super-viso Within the scope of this review, the inspector determined that the li-censee had used a single package to make five shipments as noted earlie The inspector noted that the licensee had copies of all appropriate docu-ments that would assure proper package selectio Within the scope.of this review, no violations were identifie .0 Audits The licensee's. program for auditing transportation activities was reviewed against Criterion XVIII, Appendix B, 10 CFR 50, " Audits".

The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined by discussion with members of the Quality Control Divisio Within the scope of this review, the following was identifie The Quality Control Division performed an audit of the Radwaste/ Radio-chemistry Sections of the Radiological Controls Division during the period of May 20,1985 - June 25,1985. The cover page of the audit report for Audit 85-05 stated, "... Additionally, this audit verified conformance to Criteria: 1, " Organization"; 2, " Quality Assurance Program"; 3, " Design Control"; 5, " Instructions, Procedures and Drawings"; 6, " Document Con-trol"; 9, " Control of Special Processes"; 10, " Inspection"; 11, " Test Control"; 12, " Control of Measuring and Test Equipment"; 13, " Handling, Storage and Shipping"; and 17, " Quality Assurance Records"; 10CFR50 Ap-pendix B."

The inspector reviewed the audit report, and noted that the report did not verify that the stated criteria had been addressed. The audit check list used in the audit by licensee representatives also did not verify that the stated criteria had been addressed. The inspector informed licensee representatives that the audit report should contain evidence that the applicable criteria had been reviewed during the audit proces In addition to the above, the inspector determined that at least four auditors who participated in the audit conducted May 20, 1985-June 25, 1985, had not received any training in the activity that was audite Item 2.2 of ANSI N45.2.23-1978, states "... Personnel selected for

.

.

Quality Assurance auditing assignments shall have experience or training commensurate with the scope ... of the activities to be audited ..." The licensee is committed to this standard. This being a preoperational inspection, the preceding are not regarded as violations, but they will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection (322/86-06-02).

Within the scope of this review, no violations were identifie .0 Part 61 The licensee's program for determining waste classification and charac-terization were reviewed against the criteria of 10 CFR 61.55, " Waste Classification" and 10 CFR 61.56, " Waste Characteristics."

The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined by discussion with the Radwaste Engineer, the Radwaste Shipping Supervisor, and by reviewing RADMAN and other appropriate document Within the scope of this review, the following was identifie The-inspector determined that the licensee has identified all waste streams that will be sampled and analyzed, as appropriate, in the futur The licensee is using RADMAN, a computer code that has been reviewed and approved by the NRC, to assist them in their waste classification progra In the discussions with the licensee's representatives, it was determined that the licensee will pursue solidification in the near future using a system of an existing vendor. The licensee is in the process of developing a Process Control Program. The inspector asked if the licensee had a copy of the vendors Topical Report for Waste Form that should have been sub-mitted to the NRC. The licensee did not have an official copy of the vendors topical report as suggested in the NRC Branch Technical Position Paper. The licensee initiated action to get a copy of the topical report before the end of the inspectio Within the scope of this review, no violations were identified, but this item will be reviewed in a subsequent inspection (322/86-06-02).

1 Quality Assurance / Quality Control The licensee't Quality Assurance / Quality Control Program for transport packages was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 50, Appen-dix B, " Quality Assurance Criteria For Nuclear Power Plans and Fuel Re-processing Plants."

The licensee's performance. relative to these criteria was determined by discussion with Quality Control Division personnel, the Radwaste Engineer and the Radwaste Shipping Supervisor, Quality Systems personnel, Warehouse personnel, and by reviewing procedures and other document Within the scope of this review, the following were identifie .

7 Criterion II of Appendix B, Part 50, requires the licensee to identify the structures, systems, and components to be covered by the licensee's qual-ity assurance program. Safety related items have been identified by the licensee in Table 3.2.1-1 of the Quality Assurance Manual and these items are regarded as Category Item 3.3.3, " Quality Assurance", of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Final Safety Analysis Report states " Structures, systems, and components whose safety functions require conformance to quality assurance requirements are summarized in Table 3.2.1-1". Transport packages are not identified in Table 3.2.1- Item 2.1.7., Section 2 of the licensee's Quality Assurance Manual states,

" Appropriate elements of this Quality Assurance Program are applied to plans and programs such as . . . Packaging and transport of-Radioactive Material . . ." The inspector determined by interviewing the previously mentioned licensee representatives, and by reviewing procedures and pur-chase orders, that the licensee does not have a program to assure that appropriate elements of the Quality Assurance program are applied to the receipt of transport package Within.the scope of this review, we concluded no violations were identified, but the quality assurance program applied to transport packages will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection (322/86-06-04).
