.AE00 has taken the initiative to produce a video tape on " Good Practices in Preparing and Administering Radiopharmaceuticals." The intent of the tape is 1
to stress-in a positive way-to NRC licensees standards of good practices in Ll; nuclear medicine. ~These practices have been suggested by NRC: licensees as b
corrective actions-to prevent misadministrations and other errors that have occurred in nuclear medicine-departments and have been recommended to NRC by I
experts in the field of nuclear medicine. Currently, Oak Ridge Associated L
Universities have completed a drait script for this video tape and copies have been sent to experts in the field for technical review and comments, q
Second Building Status The~ Director, Office of Consolidation, provided a revised estimate to General Services Administration (GSA) of the anticipated added costs to the JNRC that would result from acquisition of space near the Twinbrook Metrorail r
station rather than adjacent to the first building.
GSA is currentlyJreviewing the economic and other implications of three options: 1) lease of Two White Flint North (TWFN) to be built by the owner of the. property adjacent to One White Flint North (OWFN); 2) direct purchase of the lot and construction plans for TWFN which would then be built under Federal auspices; and 3) lease of a second building to be constructed near but not. adjacent to OWFN. Sites being considered include properties to be developed near the Twinbrook and Rockville Metrorail stations.

Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 1.
In March 1989, TU Electric entered into an agreement with Tex-La Electric Cooperative of Texas, Inc. -(Tex-La) under which TV Electric would purchase Tex-La's 2.17-percent ownership interest in the Comanche Peak Electric Station (CPSES). The staff issued amendments to the construction permits on. August 29, 1989 authorizing this transfer. The transfer of Tex-La's ownership interest to TV Electric was-completed on February 1,1990 and Tex-La is no longer listed as an owner of the CPSES.
I Until the completion of the 6.2-percent ownership interest transfer from Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA) to TV Electric, TMPA is still listed as an applicant. With the completion of the TMPA transfer (which is takingplacein~10 installments),TUElectric'saggregateinterestin CPSES will'be 100 percent.

' On February 5,- 1990, as directed by Dr. Murley, the staff issued the '
Initial SALP report for Comanche Peak for the period of September 1,1988 through August 31 1989. The issuance of the report was delayed so that 1
theDP0panelcouldreviewconcernsabouttheSALPreportwhichwere raised in a memorandum to the Chairman from an anonymous group' of "NRC-Staff Inspectors." Also on February 5, 1990, the EDO informed _the Com-mission of the findings of the DP0 panel and sent a response to Billie Garde who raised similar concerns about the SALP findings, j
On February 6, 1990, the Fifth Circuit of the U. S. Court of Appeals denied
- s. -
- a request by the Citizens for Fair Utility Regulation (CFUR) to stay the i
issuance.of the low-power license-for Comanche Peak Unit 1.
Although the
-Court wi R not issue a detailed opinion on the merits of the case until i
later, the stay denial did indicate that CFUR had not presented a compel-ling cu e for late intervention.
3.
On February 6, 1990, the Citizens Association for Sound Energy (CASE) transmitted a request for "immediate review" pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206.
CASE has requested that NRC postpone issuance of the Unit 1 low-p(by ower license, primarily on the basis of the staff's effective denial.
failing to implement the relief CASE seeks before issuance of the low-power license) of pending disputes between CASE and TV Electric by the Director, HRR.
t One of the disputes, pending since early December 1989, relates to the scaling calculation program at Comanche Peak. Although the staff has not issued a written response to CASE's request for action for this dispute, the staff has informed CASE that it does not consider the programatic failures identified in the dispute to have an impact on the fuel load and low-power testing schedule. The more recent dispute relates to alleged intimidation and subsequent termination of a QC inspector. The staff has FEBRUARY 9, 1990 ENCLOSURE A

not yet responded to CASE's request for action regarding this dispute, but expects to do so in the near future.
CASE does "not believe that Comanche Peak is yet in the state of readiness i
[it) believes is essential prior-to fuel load and receipt of an operating license... CASE believes that a significant question still exists regarding the character and competence of TV Electric's management to safely and adequately implement its regulatory responsibilities during fuel load and.
low power operations..."

At approximately 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 8,1990, Dr. Murley signed license No. NPF-28 for Comanche Peak Unit 1.'
This license authorizes Texas Utilities Electric Company to load fuel and conduct low-power-testing at core power levels not in excess of 170 megawatts thermal-(5%'of rated power). The licensee expects that initial criticality 1
will occur about 50 days after license issuance (approximately March 30, 1990) i Zion, Unit 1 At approximately 7 PM on January 23, 1990, the licensee discovered a manual, i
locked auxiliary feedwater-(AFW) va1ve misaligned (closed when it should have
-beenopen)during a performance test on the IB AFE pump. The unit was in l
' Mode 2 at two percent power in the process of starting up following a f
refueling outage'. The misalignment would have prevented flow from the IB pump i
'to any steam generator had AFW been initiated. The recirculation line was i
operable and-prevented damage to the pump.
j y
It is-believed that the valve misalignment had existed since ap)roximately 12:40_PM the same day when the system was realigned to return t1e 1A AFW pump t-
'to service following maintenance. The'1A pump was also damaged during testing
' on' January 16-due to another valve misalignment. The operator and the independent. verifier (a shift foreman) both assumed the valve was open based on its stem-position and did not attempt to physically turn the valve to u
L verify its position as taught in the operator-training program. The valve had been replaced during this refueling outage and had a different length stem than a similar valve nearby.
F The licensee-is having the individuals that were involved in both events W
discuss the lessons learned with each operating crew as they come on duty.
D The production Superintendent will have-a formal meeting with the individuals. Early next week, the licensee management will meet with each
. plant department to discuss personnel errors and their importance.
Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 On January 29, 1990, a Materials License was issued to Duke Power Company to
-operateanindependentspentfuelstorageinstallation(ISFSI)locatedatthe Oconee Nuclear Station site. The ISFSI will provide dry storage in horizontal storage canisters for spent fuel from Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3.
Construction l
of the ISFSI is nearly complete and the initial fuel transfer is expected to l
occur in March 1990, i

~
a; lOn Thursday, January 25, 1990, the last of the core debris visible on the
/
TMI-2 reactor vessel lower head was vacuumed and placed in a fuel canister.
A; subsequent' video exam of the reactor vessel confirmed that all accessible debris was removed. -The licensee states that this represents the end of_
fuel removal.
L
- Following the confirmatory video, the NRC's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Re-L search began taking' metallurgical samples from the reactor vessel-lower head.
'This effort is.in cooperation with the Organization for Economic Cooperation
'~
Land-Development (ECD) and will last approximately one month.
Parallel to and following the research program, the fuel ccnisters must be dewatered, weighed, l transferred to the fuel handling-building, and loaded into shipping casks.-The casks will be shipped to the _ Idaho National. Engineering Laboratory in the '.
March / April time frame.
On Tuesday, February 6,1990, a combined work crew from General Public Utilities E
Nuclear (GPUN), MPR Associates, and Power Cutting Incorporated (PCI) obtained the first " boat" sample from the TMI-2 reactor vessel lower head. The sample-was obtained from the K-7 grid location area. A previous attempt _to sample the'H-7 location was tem)orarily abandoned with a broken electrode from the L
metal disintegration mac11ne remaining in the cut. The combined work crew was h
in the process of cutting a second boat sample at the F-10 grid location on l
Wednesday, February:7. The overall sampling program goals are to obtain
.between 8 and 20' samples from the lower head as well as portions of incore t
l l-instrument penetrations and incore instrument guide tubes.
In an unrelated matter, a shaft on the main com)ressor of the water evaporation system failed on Saturday, February 3,1990. Tle evaporator system will be used to disposeLof the " accident generated water" resulting from the TMI-2
- accident.. The system.is currently in the startup and. test phase, using a L
non-radioactive. surrogate test solution. The repair to-the shaft of the La Roots-type compressor is expected to'take approximately _3 weeks. This would place the earliest expected operation of the. evaporator system in mid-April.
L The residents will verify correct alignment of selected safety systems, provide' periodic coverage of plant activities over the weekend, audit the activities discussed in the previous paragraph, and review additional correc-
't
.tive actions implemented by the licensee.
f NCRP Report on Hot Particles Mr. Beckner, NCRP, hand delivered galley proof copies of Report No. 106, " Limits L for Exposure to ' Hot Particles' on the Skin" to NRR, RES, and the Comissioner's staff on February 7,1990. The staff will review the report and evaluate its effect, if any, on the Commission Paper (SECY-89-370) addressing this topic.

The action was based on licensee's failure to provide personnel dosimetry to gauge users, leak-test sealed sources, perform inventories at 6 month intervals, prepare shipping papers and have certificates required showing special form and Specification 7A testing and possession of an unauthorized gauge, storage of a gauge in an unauthorized location and having an unauthorized individual as radiation protection officer. These violations are of concern as they indicate in the aggregate, a lack of management oversight of the licensee's radiation safety program. The mitigation / escalation factors in the Enforcement Policy were considered and no adjustment to the base civil pencity was considered appropriate.
(EN90-11)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $7,500 was issued on February 2,1990 to Georgia Power Company (Vogtle).
The action was based on the repetitive failure on the part of licensee employees to adequately protect and account for documents containing safeguards informa-tion. The base amount of the civil penalty for this Severity Level IV violation was mitigated by 50% due to the licensee's identification and reporting of this most recent violation.
(EN90-013)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $1,250 was issued February 7,1990 to Ivinson Memorial Hospital, Laramie, Wyoming. This action is based on licensee's failures:
to have the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) meet in L e second quarter of 1988, to have the RSC perform an annual review of the radiation safety program in 1988, to perform leak-tests each 6 months between September 10, 1986, to October 26, 1989, to calibrate survey instruments, to perform all steps required for dose calibrator constancy and linearity testing, to perform a dose calibrator accuracy test for 1988, and maintain records of waste disposed of through decay-in-storage.
These violations are of concern as they indicate in the aggregate, a lack of management oversight of the licensee's radiation safety program. The mitigation / escalation factors in the Enforcement Policy were considered and the base civil penalty reduced by 50 percent because of the licensee's prompt and extensive corrective actions.
(EN 90-014)
Civil Penalty Paid TV Electric (Comanche Peak) paid the civil penalty in the amount $30,000. The action was based on multiple violations identified by an AIT after the applicant experienced a backflow event through Auxiliary Feedwater system check valves on April.23, 1989. The violations involved two instances of operator failure to follow system lineup procedures during hot functional testing and four examples of inadequate corrective actions for identified deficiencies. Had these inci-dents occurred during plant operation, they would likely have constituted a
-FEBRUARU 9, 1990
-ENCLOSURE L
2-t significant problem relating to the operability of the Auxiliary Feedwater system. However, because substantial construction activities were still under-way during the conduct of the hot functional testing, it was concluded that these events should be judged :rgainst the examples in Supplement II, Part 50 Facility Construction, of the Enforcement Policy. The violations cited do not appear, even in the aggregate, to fit the examples for a Severity Level !!!
issued under Supplement II, but are clearly of more than minor safety signifi-cance. Therefore,'the violations have been characterized as Severity Level IVs with a proposed civil penalty due to the applicant's prior history of procedural violations and weaknesses with their corrective action. No escalation or mitipation was applied, as these factors were considered in proposing the civil pena ties. EA 89-219 1-FEBRUARY 9,.1990 ENCLOSURE L

On February 1, 1990, the licensee informed the NRC cf an event which 1
occurred on January 27, 1990, in which the licensee inadvertently-1 transferred 20,000 gallons of borated water from the spent fuel pool to the borated water storage tank and lowered the water level in the spent fuel pool by two feet over a two-hour period. The cause of the transfer was due to the misalignment of valves when personnel operated the spent fuel pool demineralizer system. The demineralizer system removed water from the spent fuel pool and due to a valve.
being open leading to the borated water storage tank, transferred water to the borated water storage tank. This went unnoticed for two hours and the lowest spent fuel pool level resulting was 23 feet i
above the top of the stored fuel assemblies. Radiation levels at the spent fuel pool surface were less than 1 mr/hr. The regional evaluation of this event is ongoing.

' Assessmant of Licensee Performance (SALP) process.
The Commission encourages the ACRS to continue providing its perspective and advice on the wide range of safety issues facing the agency.
The Commission requests that ACRS, in scheduling its activities, give priority to the review of reactor operational safety issues, technical requirements for future reactor designs and the technical criteria for license renewal.
On issues such as reactor aging, the Committee should structure reviews involving many disciplines in such a way that the advice to the Commission is well integrated.
