Activities relating to DOE contract tasks such as the AFR spent fuel project, advanced nuclear materials control and accounting and physical protection development are in progress.
b.
Observations made during a tour of the FRSS and Separations Building were that housekeeping is excellent and that Operations Division logbooks and lock and tag records are up-to-date and in conformance with procedural requirements.
8.
IE Circulars and Information Notices Circular 80-14, " Radioactive Contamination of Plant Demineralized a.
Water System and Resultant Internal Contamination of Personnel".
The use of demineralized water for potable purposes is not permitted.
Inspection of water systems by the applicant did identify a " temporary" jumper connecting the recycle water header into the cold chemical service demineralized water line. This was done to prevent excess process water t,cildup during mini-runs. This sink supply line is locked and tagged to prevent usage and is punch-listed for change at conclusion of the mini-runs.
b.
Circular 80-20, " Changes in Safe Slab Tank Dimensions." AGNS has examined the facility Slab Tanks and determined that the original tank calibrations established the relationship of volume versus liquid level. Calibrations are shown to be accurate and repeatable to better than 0.1% accuracy. Thickness changes greater than 0.002" would be detected by recalibration. The tanks are of 3/8" titantam with 102 1-3/8" titaniam tie-bars and all tanks are vented into a large capacity vent system.
Provisions have been made for routine dimensional checks by tank recalibrations.
