SUBJECT:
POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF ATOMIC ENERGY ACT On October 6,
1986 the Region V Public Affairs Officer and the Diablo Canyon Senior Resident Inspector received a call from a Mr. John F. Darke.
Among Mr. Darke's concerns was one on a potential violation of the Atomic Energy Act.
Specifically, Pacific Gas and Electric Company's License Amendment Request 86-06 proposed elimination of maximum total weight of uranium in each fuel rod from technical specification 5.3.1.
Mr. Darke feels this is contrary to Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.
From NUREG-0980, Mr. Darke pointed out the following quotations from the Act:
"In connection with applications for licenses to operate production or utilization facilities, the applicant shall state such technical specifications, including information of the amount, kind, and source of special nuclear material required,...
Such technical specifications shall be a part of any license issued."
Mr. Darke concludes that elimination of the fuel rod uranium weight is not in accordance Act, because Section 182 requires that the amount be specified in technical specification which are part of the license issued.
Mr. Darke is concerned also that the root cause of this potential violation by the licensee be fully investigated.
These facts have been confirmed with Mr. Darke on October 7,
1986 by M. M. Mendonca.
Mr. Darke is eager to discuss his allegation with NRR and can be reached at (805) 543-3392.
His address is P.
O. Box 442, Avila Beach, California 93424.
