.The inspector verified through review that the licensee had main-tained written procedures for nuclear material control and accounting and that written statements of responsibility and authority had been established for those positions with responsibility for special nuclear material (SNM). The procedures were included in the licen-see's SNM Inventory Control Procedure EN-21001, Revision 6, dated May 14, 1985. The procedures were adequate for the control of SN Shipping and Receiving The inspector determined through review that the licensee had main-tained and followed procedures to assure that all'special nuclear material received or shipped was accurately accounted fo Preparation and transmittal of Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (00E/NRC Form-741) were the responsibility of the Reactor Enginee A review was performed of all DOE /NRC Forms-741's generated during the period' April 1, 1982 - September 30, 1985, to determine proper signature, timely dispatch, and accuracy of data. No discrepancies were note .- _ _ _ . _

c. Storage and Internal Control The inspector determined through review that the licensee was

-

maintaining and following a system of written material control and

, accounting procedures which provided for knowledge of the quantity, identity, and current location of all SNM-bearing materials within the facilit The licensee had established and was maintaining Item Control Areas (ICA's) that included the reactor cavity, new fuel storage area, spent fuel storage pool, and other areas that were appropriate for SNM contained in other than fue d. Inventory The inspector performed an inventory verification on November 15, 1985, which consisted of a piece count of the assemblies shown on the spent fuel pool map and a comparison of selected fuel' location history cards to the spent fuel pool map. Fuel bundles were located as follows:

! The licensee had conducted physical inventories as required by 10 CFR

'

70.51(d). The licensee's last physical inventory was performed October 11, 198 e. Records and Reports The inspector audited the licensee's records, reports and source data. All Material Balance Reports (DOE /NRC Form-742) submitted by the licensee, during the period April 1, 1982 - September 30, 1985, were reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 70.53. Total uranium and U-235 fission, transmutation, plutonium production and decay records were also reviewed. No discrepancies were note Attached to this report as Exhibits I and II are summaries of the licensee's nuclear material activity for the period April 1, 1982 -

September 30, 198 .

4 Management of Materials Control System The inspector determined through review that the licensee was-maintaining a management system which provided for the revision,
