MEMORANDUM FOR:
Peter B. Bloch L
Administrative Judge THROUGH:
Stuart A. Treby r
f Assistant General CotM e for Rulemaking & Fuel Cycle Lawrence J. Chandler SEWED DEC'- 71989 '
Assistant General Counsel for Hearings and Enforcement FROM:
Colleen P. Woodhead Counsel for NRC Staff
SUBJECT:
ROCKWELL BOARD ORDERS OF SEPTEMBER 18 AND OCTOBER 4, 1989 In our review of the referenced orders with the NMSS Staff, we have noted two matters which the Staff believes should be clarified. The first matter concerns the applicability of Appendix B of 10 C.F.R. Part 50 to the Rockwell license and was raised in your Memorandum and Order dated October 4,1989 in footnote 1 where you state that Appendix B applies to the Rocketdyne facility. The Staff does not believe that this license is subject to Appendix B of Part 50.
As relevant to materials licenses, Appendix B is applicable to a plutonium processing and fuel fabrication plant. As defined in 10 C.F.R. I 70.4(r):
"' Plutonium processing and fuel fabrication plant' means a plant in which the following operations or activities are conducted:
(1)
Operations for manufacture of reactor fuel containing plutowium including any of the following: (1) Preparation of fuel material; (ii) formation of fuel material into desired shapes; (iii) application of protective cladding;. (iv) recovery of scrap material; and (v) storage associated with such operations; or (2) research and development activities involving any of the operations described in paragraph (r)(1) of this section, except for research and development activities i
utilizing unsubstantial amounts of plutonium..
Because Rockwell does not manufacture reactor fuel or perform research and development leading to manufacturing of reactor fuel, it is not subject to the requirements of Appendix B.
The second matter was raised in your Memorandum and Order of September 18, 1989, where you noted that any work for DOE appears exempt from NRC 8912190251 89129 0 PDR ADDCK 0700DO25 C

. licensing ; The Staff believes that in the circumstance of this proceeding that statement is incorrect.
Only those activities conducted for DOE on the DOE-controlled portion of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory Site are exempt from NRC regulation by 10 C.F.R. 5 70.11(a). This may not have been clear to the participants in the limited appearance session on September 28, 1989 when this matter was discussed.-
