Exit Interview
The inspectors
met with the licensee
representatives
indicated in para-
graph
1 at the completion of the inspection
on November 6,
1986,
and
summarized
the
scope
and findings of the inspection.
At no time during this inspection
was written material
provided to the
licensee
by the inspectors.

85102 - Nuclear Material Control
and Accountin
a.
Or anization
and 0 eration
The inspectors verified that the licensee,
except
as noted in para-
graph 3.d.,
had maintained
and followed written procedures
for
nuclear material control
and accounting
and that written statements
of responsibility for special
nuclear material
(SNM) were available.
These
procedures
were included in the licensee
procedure
number A
1704
Special
Nuclear Material Inventory and Record Requirements,
Revision 2, dated June ll, 1985.
b.
Shi
in
and Receivin
The inspectors
determined
through review that the licensee,
except
as noted in paragraph 3.d.,
had maintained
and followed effective
procedures
to assure
that
SNM received
was accurately
accounted for.
e
1
I
The inspectors
also determined that,
since the licensee
had not made
any shipments of unirradiated fuel, it did not have procedures
for
this type of shipment.
The licensee
promptly initiated action to
establish
such procedures
so that they are available prior to any
shipment of unirradiated fuel.
All DOE/NRC Form
741's generated
during the period of October
1,
1982 - September
30,
1986 were reviewed to determine
proper signa-
ture, timely dispatch,
and accuracy of data.
No major discrepancies
were noted.
Stora
e and Internal Control
The inspectors
determined
through review that the licensee,
except
as noted in paragraph 3.d.,
was maintaining
and following a system
of written material control
and accounting
procedures.
These
procedures
provided for knowledge of the quantity, identity,
and
current location of SNM-bearing materials within the facility.
The licensee
w'as maintaining
Item Control Areas (ICA's) that included
the reactor vessel,
spent fuel pool,
new fuel storage,
and other
areas that were appropriate for SNM contained
in other than fuel.
~Inventor
The inspectors
performed
an inventory verification on November 5,
1986, which consisted
of a comparison of the fuel location history
card file to the core loading and spent fuel pool
map.
Fuel bundles
were located
as follows:
Location
Reactor
Vessel
Spent
Fuel
Pool
121
465
Total Bundles
586
No discrepancies
were noted.
However, the inspector determined
on November 5,
1986 that the
licensee
had not established
written material control
and accounting
procedures
to account for the SNM-bearing fission detectors
in its
possession
as required
by
Additionally, because
of
this, the licensee failed to conduct
a physical
inventory for the
SNM-bearing fission detectors
at intervals not to exceed
twelve
months
as required
by 10 CFR 70.51(d).
The last physical
inventory
of these detectors
was conducted
by the licensee
on November
14,
1983.
The requirement
to perform these
inventories apparently
was
known to
the individual who was previously responsible
for this activity, but
I
who is no longer in that position.
Since the requirement
was not
documented
in a written procedure,
the successor
to that individual
, apparently
was not aware of the re'quirement.
e.
Records
and
Re orts
The inspectors
reviewed the licensee's
records
from microfiche data
reports of the Material Balance
Reports
(DOE/NRC Form
742) sub-
mitted by the licensee
during the period April 1,
1982
September
30,
1986.
Total uranium and U-235 fission, transmutation,
production
and decay records
were also reviewed.
No discrepancies
were noted.
Exhibits I and II of this report
summarizes
the licensee's
nuclear
material activities for the period October
1,
1982 - September
30,
1986.
f.
Mana ement of Materials Control
S stem
The inspector determined
through review that the licensee
was main-
taining
a management
system that generally provided for the revision,
implementation
and enforcement of nuclear material control
and
accounting
procedures.
However,
due to
a failure to document the
requirement for annual
inventory of fission detectors,
a discre-
pancy in the licensee's
system
was identified and is discussed
in
paragraph
d.
above.
