SSINS No.: 6835 IN 87-07 UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 February 3, 1987 IE INFORMATION NOTICE NO: 87-07: QUALITY CONTROL OF ONSITE DEWATERING/
SOLIDIFICATION OPERATIONS BY OUTSIDE
CONTRACTORS
Addressees
All nuclear power reactor facilities holding an operating license (OL) or
construction permit (CP).
Purpose
This notice is intended to remind licensees of their responsibility to ensure
that appropriate quality control measures are carried out during the operation
performed by outside contractors of transportable dewatering and/or solidifica- tion radwaste processing equipment at the site of a licensed facility. It is
suggested that recipients review the information for applicability to their
facilities. No written response is required.
Related Documents:
NRC IE Information Notice No, 79-09, "Spill of Radioactively Contaminated
Resin," March 30, 1979. This notice reminded licensees of their responsibility
to review the adequacy of the equipment and procedures used by such outside
contractors.
NRC IE Circular 80-18, U10 CFR 50.59 Safety Evaluation for Changes to Radio- active Waste Treatment Systems," August 22, 1980. This circular pointed out
that in some instances, licensees have failed to perform adequate safety
evaluations to support changes to solidification/dewatering systems operated by
an outside contractor at a licensee's facility, so as to determine that there
are no unresolved safety issues.
Background:
The functions performed by mobile transportable radwaste processing equipment
for solidification or dewatering (e.g., usually skid mounted or truck mounted)
are very often performed by outside contractor personnel. Such operations
fall within the scope of the operating reactor's license issued pursuant to
10 CFR 50. Therefore, regardless of the specific method of processing the
waste or the contractor involved, the licensee is responsible for ensuring
that all such activities on his site are carried out in a manner consistent
with the facility operating license and applicable technical specifications, process control program and regulations, in a manner that provides adequate
protection from the health, safety, and environmental standpoints.
IN 87-07 February 3, 1987 A very important and somewhat recent regulatory requirement relating to such
operations is found in 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3), which requires that a licensee
shall " ....conduct a quality control program to assure compliance with
§§61.55 and 61.56 of this chapter; the program must include management
evaluation of audits."
Description of Circumstances
Several recent NRC inspections have revealed inadequacies In quality control
programs during such operations. A typical result of these inadequacies is
the failure to reduce the water content of solidified wastes or dewatered resins
to the applicable limits; for example, either 0.5% by volume of the stable waste
form or 1% by volume of the waste when placed in a disposal container, a "High
Integrity Container" which is designed to ensure stability. This has resulted
in enforcement actions and/or civil penalties against the shipper/licensee by
the burial site state licensing authority. In some instances, it has been
observed that no quality control program is in place by either the contractor
or the licensee. Typically, the contractor might perform the solidification/
dewatering without any holdpoints or quality control check points by either
the licensee or the contractor, especially a control check that is Independent
of the operator of the waste processing equipment. It has also been found
that in some cases, quality assurance audits have neither been performed nor
have the results of such audits, when performed by contractor personnel, been
reviewed by licensee management.
Discussion:
The operations conducted at a licensee facility by an outside vendor are usually
addressed in the licensee's process control program, which is an incorporated
requirement of the applicable Technical Specification. It is incumbent on the
licensee to exercise oversight and control of all aspects of the contractor's
operation. This includes review of sample results, test solidification results, product verifications, and quality control audits. Licensee controls must be ade- quate to ensure compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.311 and 10 CFR 61.56.
It is expected that licensees will review the information provided for applica- bility, if appropriate, to their waste management programs. However, suggestions
contained in this notice do not constitute NRC requirements; therefore, no
specific action or written response is required.
