HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT f
WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 15, 1989 Browns Ferry, Unit 2
\\
\\
All three Browns Ferry units were defueled after shutting down in 1985.
i l
Units 1 and 3 were put into an extensive lay-up program. During January 1989, l
TVA loaded fuel back into the Unit 2 core.
Af ter nearly a year's effort of working on the necessary restart mo(ifications with fuel in the core, TVA announced today that it would again defuel Unit 2.
i TVA indicates that the remaining Unit 2 work would be more efficiently accom-l l
p11shed with the core safely offloaded.
In addition TVA has indicated that efforts in completing a special nuclear material accountability program involv-l ing core neutron instrumentation and the replacement of 275 electrical cables will be enhanced'by this action.
j Meetina With 00E.to Discuss Surety of Nuclear Waste Fund One-Time Fee On December 13, 1989, staff from the Division of High-Level Waste Management, l
NMSS, and the Policy Development and Technical Support Branch, NRR, met with l
staff from the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, U.S. Department l
of Energy (DOE), to discuss the potential for shortfall in the 'one-time" fee to be paid into the Nuclear Waste Fund. The potential for shortfall arises because a number of utilities elected to defer payment. There is concern i
i that some of those utilities may not be able to make the payment when it is due.
The NRC staff who attended the meeting understood DOE representatives to say that under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, DOE may not accept spent fuel for disposal if payment to the Nuclear Weste Fund is not made. Staff is preparing a letter to DOE stating the staff's understanding of DOE's position and requesting DOE's confirmation and/or clarification of its position.
Continued funding of the high-level waste program was addressed in the 1984 Waste Confidence Decision, and is being addressed in the ongoing 5-year review of that decision. Potential shortfall in funds and the question of responsibility for spent fuel ir the case of utility inability to meet its contractual obligation for payment are potentially significant issues that l
would have to be considered in preparing the final rtview of the Waste Confidence Decision.
A New Approach.to Detection of Plastic Explosives The Safeguards staff is reviewing literature and field test results on a new high-tech explosives detection system which was developed by a Massachusetts based company, Thermedics, Inc. The manufacturer claims that the detection system, EGIS (trademark), can detect small quantities of commercial and military plastic explosives. Although the preliminary field tests confirm the manufacturer's claim, the Safeguards staff is planning to request Sandia National Laboratory to conduct additional field tests with pure explosive compounds. Confirmation of the ut9 fulness of this system will contribute a significant addition to explosive detection capabilities.
Second Buildina Status On Monday, December 11, Chairman Carr, Mr. Thorpson, and Mr. Springer met with the General Services Administration (GSA) Acting Administrator Austin and members of his staff to discuss the status of the Two White Flint North 4
project. Mr. Austin assured Chairman Carr of his continued support for the NRC's headquarters consolidation and of his staff's continued efforts towards resolving the contractual issues with the developer.

Browns Ferry Unit 2 i
All three Browns Ferry units were defueled after shutting down in 1985.
Units 1 and 3 were put into an extensive lay-up program. During January 1989, j
TVA loaded fuel back into the Unit 2 core.
Af ter nearly a year's effort of working on the necessary restart modifications l
with fuel in the core, TVA announced today that it would again defuel Unit 2.
i TVA indicatec that the remaining Unit 2 work would be more efficiently accom-p11shed with the core safely offloaded.
In addition, TVA has indicated that l
efforts in completing a special nuclear material accountability program involv-ing core neutron instrumentation and the replacement of 275 electrical cables will be enhanced by this action.
{
= Members of the TVA Projects staff are following this action.
f Catawba Units 1 and 2 l
Catawba Unit 2 completed 109 days of continuous operation for the first time in its history. Previously, this unit encountered a high reactor trip rate, many of which were related to the narrow range operating band associated with l
the Westinghouse D-5 steam generators.
In June 1989, the licensee implemented a modification to expand the operating band and make the D-5's behave similarly to the D-3's on Unit 1.
Following implementation of the modification, operators observed steam generator level control to be significantly improved and Unit 2 experienced no reactor trips for the duration of the period.
Catawba Unit 1 is operating at 100% power.
Public Service Company.of New. Hampshire.(PSNH) Board Seabrook Unit;1_
of Director's Decision On December 13, 1989, PSNH announced that its Board of Directors has endorsed i
Northeast Utilities' proposal to acquire PSNH and resolve PSNH's 23-month-old i
bankruptcy.
How PSNH's bankruptcy will be resolved will depend on a number of actions, including those of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the N.H. State legislature.
Therefore, any change of ownership may take a while.
l Three. Mile. Island Unit-2 On Friday, December 8,-1989, defueling operations were resumed at TMI-2. They i
had been suspended after defueling workers handled a high doserate component on November 28. Following an inspection and a licensee investigation of the event, an enforcement conference was held in the Region I office on December 4 The licensee implemented the corrective action program presented at the L
enforcement conference by December 8 and began defueling support activities.
DECEMBER 15, 1989 ENCLOSURE A
. ~
~ _. _
Over the weekend of December 9 and 10 several hundred pounds of fuel debris were loaded into canisters. The amount of fuel debris remaining in the reactor 4
vessel is estimated to be less than 1000 pounds by the licensee.
Fuel removal and video verification should be completed by early January 1990.
The international research effort to obtain samples from the TMI-2 reactor vessel lower head will then have a one-month window. This will be followed by the i
verification of remaining fuel and criticality safety, dewatering of the reactor vessel, independent fuel measurements, and the final fuel shipment to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The licensee will then decontaminate i
and prepare TMI-2 for post-defueling monitored storage.
i Division of Engineering.Technolony PORV.and Block Valve.Testtnc.at. Palisades (EMEB)
As a result of the recent transient in which the Palisades pressurizer PORV and its block valve malfunctioned, the licensee removed both valves and tested them at the Wyle Labs, NORCO test facility. The tests, which were observed by an NRC representative, were conducted from Wednesday, December 6 to Friday, December 8.
The test program attempted to duplicate the spurious PORY opening i
and subsequent failure of the block valve to close. Although the PORV's i
spurious opening was duplicated in the tests, the block valve failure could not i
be. The failure to duplicate the block valve problems may be due to the relatively small steam capacity at the test facility. The licensee has shipped J
the PORV and block valve back to the plant for reinsta11ation. The data taken during the tests is beir.g evaluated by the licensee and is being presented to the plant safety comittee Wednesday, December 13 and will be discussed in I
detail during a conference call with the NRC on Friday, December 15.

l Transportation Meeting on. Storage / Transportation Spent Fuel. Cask On December 7,1989, the Transportation Branch staff had a pre-application t
l meeting with the Nuclear Assurance Corporation, Virginia Power and observers i
from the Spanish organizations of Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivas, 1
S.A. and Equipos Nucleares, S.A.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss I
design changes since the last meeting, development and analysis plans, testing arrangements, and scheduling for the Model No. NAC-STC spent fuel cask. The l
ca Q is being designed for storage and transport of spent pressurized water l
re6ctor fuel. An application to the NRC addressing storage is expected in February or March 1990 and the transportation application is expected early in the summer of 1990.
Package Supplier Inspection On December 4-8, 1989 a special inspection was conducted at Source Production and Equipment Company (SPEC), St. Rose, LA. The inspection focused on quality assurance for the fabrication of radiographic devices and was conducted by two members of the Transportation Branch.
HIGH-LEVEL. WASTE MANAGEMENT High-level Waste Quality Assurance Meeting l
On December 13, 1989, staff from the Division of High-level Waste Management (DHLWM) met with representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy and the l
State of Nevada for the bi-monthly quality assurance (QA) meeting relative to the high-level waste repository. Although tite impact of DOE's recently announced schedule changes on its QA program implementation was on the agenda, DOE could only superficially discuss the subject because the impact of the changes has not yet been fully analyzed. The State of Nevada discussed observations on DOE audits performed to date. The State noted that DOE's performance in carrying out the audits had improved in the past year. DOE also provided an update on their plans to revise the Privacy Act procedures to allow NRC and Nevada access to the personnel qualification records of staff i
4 in the repository program.
J Meeting With DOE to Discuss Surety of. Nuclear. Waste. Fund One-Time Fee i

j LOW-LEVEL WASTE MANAGEMENT Waste-Disposal. Application On November 14, 1989 Envirocare of Utah, Inc. submitted to Low-Level Waste Management (LLWM) an application to dispose of byproduct material (uranium or l
thorium mill tailings) at a facility near Clive, Utah. The application is unique because it seeks private authority to dispose of byproduct material at a site remote from a milling operation. The proposed activity falls between existing NRC regulations in Part 61 covering commercial disposal of LLW and Part 40 covering licensing of uranium milling operations.
Following the Office of Gentral Counsel guidance, staff will prepare a Notice of Receipt, for Commission approval, to be published in the Federal Register, which will formally establish the regulatory criteria the staff will apply in review of the application (i.e., the criteria set out in Appendix A to Part 40 which are applied to disposal of tailings at mills).

l Division.of Safety Programs DSP staff members gave presentations at the Region I resident inspectors meeting on December 8,1989. The discussions included an overview of the program for evaluating risk potential using operational events as initiating events (Accident Sequence Precursor Program) conducted for the agency by Oak Ridge l
National Laboratory.
DSPstaffmembersalsogaveapresentationonthePerformanceIndicator(PI)
Program. The purpose of the presentation was to describe the indicators in detail so that the Regions would be more efficient in their review of the draft report and better utilize the information it contains. The presentation concluded with a discussion of the recently issued Announcement No. 200 concerning the use of performance indicators.
4 Division-of Operational. Assessment The TTC is proceeding to acquire some large General Electric (GE) boiling) water reactor (BWR) nuclear power plant components (pumps, motors, valves, etc.
from a cancelled plant equipment liquidator to use as training aids. These components will be transported to the training center and configured for display in additional leased space. The costs will be accomodated within AEOD's existing i
budget. This project will add an additional dimension to technical training i
courses since course attendees will be able to see first hand, as well as touch in a nonhostile environment, H rger sized nuclear power plant components.
It 4
is projected that these traihn.g aids will be used about an hour in each reactor technology course and perhaps in other specialized technical training courses.
The integration of these large training cids into TTC courses will provide
)'
course attendees a better perspective on the size, workings and complexity of components in a nuclear power plant. These components are generic in nature and, thus, of substantial value in reactor technology courses covering all vendor designs. They may also be of use in existing and future courses in r
areas other than reactor technology.
For example, the components could be used for demonstrating equipment radiation survey techniques and decontamination methods. Disassembled components could oe used for demonstrating maintenance techniques and where particular maintenance problems might occur.
1 On December 8, the NRC Palo Verde Diagnostic Evaluation Team Leaders provided i
a preliminary discussion of the major findings to utility management marking the completion of the site work.
Currently, the team is evaluating the information obtained during and following the site visits and preparing its report. The next major milestone is a team i
meeting scheduled for January 3-4, 1990, at.the NRC/AEOD offices in Bethesda, Maryland. At this meeting the team will discuss the first draft of its report.

On December 8, 1989, Region I connenced an Augmented Inspection at the site in response to operational concerns that at least one indicator in the control room indicated a scram condition and that the reactor protection systems sensors apparently did not function properly. Subsequent to a conference call between the licensee and NRC staff, the licensee completed a shutdown and cool down of the reactor by December 8, 1989.
The Augmented Inspection team concluded its review on December 12, 1989.
The cause of the event was personnel error by a licensed operator in operating a backwash system for the main condenser circulating water (CW) system. Operators quickly responded to the error by restoring CW flow and reducing power in accordance with the applicable abnormal procedure. The resultant vacuum transient in one of three sections of the condenser was noted by the operators but the independent vacuum trip sensing system (alarms / trip functions only) apparently lagged the indicating system.
There was no clear evidence to the operators at the time of the event that a scram condition existed and as such the operators performed adequately.
The disparity between sensing systems could not be fully explained since there were localized pressure variations that were apparently steam flow induced.
The team also noted that a contributing cause to the personnel error was the non-use of an appropriate information/ caution system to warn operators that backwashing could not be accomplished for present plant conditions on that section of the condenser. Further the technical specifications (TS) require that the vacuum trip switches be set at greater than or equal to 23 inches of mercury yet the licensee had set these switches at the limit allowing the instruments to drift below the TS limit by as much as 1.5 inches of mercury. The team's report should be issued during the week of January 1,1990.
Licensee short term actions before startup included resetting the vacuum trip instrumentation to 24 inches of mercury; training the operators on the design information obtained during the event; and clarify existing administrative controls on when to manually scram the reactor. Long term actions are being formulated.

ATTENDANCE) - SECY to J. Taylor, EDO and D. Moeller, ACNW dated 12/14/89 The Commission was briefed by.the staff and Dr. Kouts on recommendations for implementing the U.S. Environmental l
Protection Agency's standards for high levol radioactive waste disposal, as outlined in staff (s paper SECY-89-319.
(SECY-89-319 was previously placed in the Public Document Room and was made publicly available at this briefing.)
Chairman Carr requested his fellow. Commissioners to vote on staff's recommendations-outlined in SECY-89-319 following-receipt of comments from the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW), scheduled to be issued by December 22, 1989'.
Commissioner Rogers requested the following information from the staff:
1.
Articulation of the fundamental assumptions in support of the EPA disposal standards and'NRC regulations for high.
level radioactive waste, including both the positive and DECEMBER 15, 19E9 ENCLOSURE P
~
.~
.g.
negative aspects of those assumptions, and identification of NRC/ EPA consensus and controversy.on the fundamental:
assumptions.
2.
In carrying-out the proposed EPA HLM standards which are probabilistic, it may be necessary to have in. place an agreed-upon methodology for characterizing and propagating the uncertainties in order for any site to achieve compliance with the EPA standard.
These methodologies can have many forms (such as those used in NUREG-1150 and other probabilistic studies)-and, as the staff recognizes and experience-has shown, can become controversial.
Staff should submit a summary on the staff's current approach to dealing with uncertainties / methodologies in implementing the EPA probabilistic standard so as to avoid many of~the controversial aspects as possible..
Commissioner Curtiss expressed concerns regarding -- (1) the relationship of the NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part-60 to the x
EPA standard, noting in particular that the subsystem performance criteria contained in 10 CFR Section 60.113 appear to go significantly beyond merely' implementing the EPA standard and may, instead, amount to a separate-and potentially inconsistent environmental standardt (2)-the prescriptive.
nature of the requirements ir. 10-CFR Section 60.113 and the impact that these requirements may have on the ability of DOE to meet the EPA standard, albeit ita a manner that may depart from the exact balance of multiple barriers that would be-required under 60.113; and (3) the prospect that EPA is-j reportedly considering revisiting the containment requirements j
in its upcoming proposed. standard, even-though the_ court remand did not address this section of the' EPA-standard.
Commissioner Curtiss will be pursuing these matters in the context of the Commission's considerati.on of SECY-89-319.
