Narrative

Report for LER 50-321/1980-117 While performing the monthly physical inventory of special nuclear material for October 1980 per llN P 9 6 0 0,

it was discovered that no transfer authorizations, as required by llN P 9 6 0 0, had been written to receive 2 shipments of LPRMs received on 8-26-80 and 10-2-PO, and 1 shipment of SRMs and an IRM received on 8-4-80.

Failure to acquire the proper authorizations was contrary to requirements of 10CFR70.

As the detectors were properly received and

stored, only p

lacking the proper authorization there were no effects upon

(>

public health and safety or plant operation.

This is a

repetitive occurrence; see LERs 50-366/1979-112 and 50-321/1979-054.

At the time of the event contract personnel responsible for SNM control failed to obtain the required authorization due to misinterpretation of the requircuents as specified in a

llNP-1-9600.

Since the event these personnel have been replaced by plant staff engineers who have been reinstructed on SNM control to prevent recurrence.
