Report Details Summary of Plant Status During the inspection period, routine fuel manufacturing operations and maintenance activities were conducted in the fuel processing areas, Uranium Recovery (UR) facility, and in the Research and Test Reactors (RTR) facility.

A. Safety Operations

1. Plant Operations (Inspection Procedures 88135 and 88135.02)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed routine tours of plant operating areas housing special nuclear material (SNM) to verify that equipment and systems were operated safely and in compliance with the license and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material. Daily operational and shift turnover meetings were observed throughout the period to gain insights into process safety and operational issues. The inspectors reviewed selected licensee-identified issues and corrective actions (CAs) for previously identified issues. These reviews focused on plant operations, safety-related equipment (valves, sensors, instrumentation, in-line monitors, and scales), and items relied on for safety (IROFS) to determine whether the licensee captured off-normal events and implemented effective CAs as required.

The inspectors conducted routine tours to verify that operators, front-line managers, maintenance mechanics, radiation protection staff, and process engineering personnel were knowledgeable of their duties and attentive to any alarms or annunciators at their respective stations as required. The routine tours included walkdowns of the RTR, filler, UR areas, and other manufacturing areas where SNM was being processed. The inspectors observed activities during normal and upset conditions to verify compliance with procedures and material station limits. The inspectors reviewed selected safety controls, including IROFS, to verify that they were in place, available, and functional to ensure proper control of SNM. The inspectors reviewed operator log sheets, operating procedures, maintenance records, and equipment and process changes to obtain information concerning operating trends and activities. The inspectors reviewed CAs to verify that the licensee actively pursued CAs for conditions requiring temporary modifications and compensatory measures.

The inspectors performed periodic tours of the outlying facility areas to verify that equipment and systems were operated safely and in compliance with the license. The inspectors focused on potential wind-borne missile hazards, potential fire hazards with combustible material storage and fire loading, hazardous chemical storage, the physical condition of bulk chemical storage tanks and piping, storage of compressed gas containers, and potential degradation of plant security features. In addition, the inspectors periodically toured or inspected the licensees emergency response facilities to verify that the facilities were maintained in a readily available status as required.

The inspectors attended various meetings, including the Change Review Board, Safety Review Board, and met periodically with plant senior management and licensing personnel throughout the inspection period to determine the overall status of the plant.

The inspectors evaluated the licensees response to significant plant issues and their 4

approach to solving various plant problems in accordance with Quality Work Instruction (QWI) 2.1.3, Integrated Safety Analysis Methodology; QWI 14.1.4, Reporting Unusual Incidents; and QWI 14.1.10, Safety Evaluation of Unusual Incidents. In particular, the inspectors reviewed Event Notification (EN) 54117 submitted on June 13, 2019, following the discovery of potentially degraded toxic and flammable gas detector IROFS in the specialty fuel facility (SFF) area of UR. Specifically, during a calibration methodology review, the licensee identified that calibration surveillances for the detectors were not being conducted in accordance with written instructions nor vendor recommendations. This EN was subsequently withdrawn on June 27, 2019, after licensee staff gained a better technical understanding of the issue and determined that the performance requirements of 10 CFR 70.61 were still met. The inspector reviewed the licensees evaluation supporting the EN withdrawal to confirm that the circumstances and effects of the identified performance issues did not require reporting under 10 CFR 70.

b. Conclusion

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

2. Operational Safety (Inspection Procedure 88135.04)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed safety-significant systems, structures, and components involved with the processing and handling of SNM in the pickling and element stacking areas associated with safety analysis reports (SARs) 15.37, Higher Tier Assemblies to verify compliance with the license and procedures. The inspectors conducted walkdowns of selected process areas to verify the as-built configurations matched approved plant drawings and to verify that there were no conditions which could degrade equipment performance including the operability of IROFS, safety-related devices, or other support systems required for safety. The inspectors observed operator performance at selected processes to verify they complied with safety controls associated with the IROFS systems and instrumentation for maintaining plant safety.

The inspectors also reviewed IROFS assumptions and controls to verify proper implementation in the field. The inspectors reviewed the related integrated safety analyses (ISA) to verify the availability, reliability, and capability of the systems to perform their safety functions were not affected by outstanding design issues, temporary modifications, operator workarounds, adverse conditions, or other system-related issues.

The inspectors reviewed procedures, drawings, and related ISAs to verify the following, as appropriate, during the walkdowns:

  • controls were in place for potential criticality, chemical, radiological, and fire safety hazards
  • process and transport configurations were maintained in accordance with nuclear criticality safety evaluations (NCSEs)
  • supporting structures, systems, and components were correctly aligned, labeled, lubricated, cooled, and ventilated
  • hangers and supports were correctly installed and functional
  • cabinets, cable trays, and conduits were correctly installed and functional
  • material condition of visible cabling
  • no interference of ancillary equipment or debris with system performance 5

b. Conclusion

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

3. Fire Protection Quarterly (Inspection Procedure 88135.05)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an inspection of bays 4A, 5A, 7A, and 8A to verify compliance with license application Chapter 7, Fire Safety, and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 801, Standard for Fire Protection for Facilities Handling Radioactive Materials, as required. The inspectors performed fire safety walkdowns and reviewed the fire detection and suppression capabilities in those areas, as applicable. The inspectors also reviewed relevant portions of the pre-fire plans before and during the walkdowns to verify that key fire-fighting features and information identified in the plans were in place in the field and that fire hazards that existed in the field were reflected in the pre-fire plans. The inspectors reviewed the type of manual firefighting equipment that was provided to verify that it was appropriate for the type of fire that could occur.

Fire barriers were examined for proper maintenance and function and fire impairments reviewed for adequate compensatory actions, as required.

Routine plant tours were conducted for other areas of the plant to verify that housekeeping in the areas was sufficient to minimize the risk of fire and that transient combustibles were being controlled and minimized as required.

b. Conclusion

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

4. Fire Protection Annual (Inspection Procedure 88135.05)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees fire protection (FP) program to verify compliance with selected portions of 10 CFR 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material; License Application Chapter 7, Fire Safety; Chapter 11, Management Measures; and applicable procedures. Specific areas of the FP program reviewed are detailed below.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

Fire Brigade Drill/Readiness The inspectors observed various annual emergency team (i.e., fire brigade) training activities to verify compliance with NFPA 600, Standard on Industrial Fire Brigades, and applicable emergency team procedures. On October 19, 2019, the inspectors observed classroom and practical training sessions, including a live-fire exercise, for the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), use of forcible entry tools (e.g.,

halligan bar and flat-head axe) for gaining facility access, and conduct of search and rescue operations. The inspectors also observed fire brigade members conduct an inventory of fire brigade equipment associated with both the white and red emergency response vehicles (i.e., fire engine trucks) designed and intended for fire suppression, rescue, and other specialized functions. On October 30, 2019, the inspectors observed 6

fire brigade performance during a live-fire emergency exercise drill. The drill consisted of an onsite transportation accident event involving a fire, mixed waste spill, and airborne hazardous chemical release. The inspectors observed fire brigade leader command and control, donning and use of turnout gear and SCBA, availability of firefighting equipment, clear and effective radio communications, coordination of unnecessary personnel, investigation of the incident, and implementation of pre-planned strategies.

Identification and Resolution of Problems The inspectors reviewed a sample of items entered into the licensees CAP since the last annual inspection to ensure that entries pertinent to fire-related events and non-conforming conditions (e.g., FP equipment, human performance, and program issues) were identified, investigated, and tracked to resolution in accordance with implementing procedure QWI 14.1.1, Preventive/Corrective Action System. The inspectors reviewed issues requiring extent-of-condition and/or extent-of-cause reviews to verify that the reviews were completed and documented in the applicable CA records.

The inspectors reviewed the 2019 second- and third-quarter general safety audit reports performed by Industrial Health and Safety (IH&S) personnel to ensure that the facility was being audited quarterly, as required by the license and that identified issues were entered into the CAP. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed FP system out-of-service/

impairment records to verify that compensatory measures had been put in place for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features as required by HS-03-10, Control of Fire Protection System Impairments.

The inspectors conducted a broad review of FP program procedures to verify they contained requirements for routine FP equipment and system inspections. The inspectors conducted an in-depth review of inspection procedures HS-FP-006, Portable Fire Extinguishers Inspection, and HS-FP-018, Fire Barrier/Fire Damper Inspection, to verify inspection requirements were consistent with applicable NFPA standards.

Additionally, the inspectors interviewed and accompanied IH&S technicians while performing monthly portable fire extinguisher inspections to verify inspections were being conducted in accordance with the implementing procedure. The inspectors also conducted independent walkdowns of all portable fire extinguishers and fire dampers credited as IROFS in the container storage building (CSB) and bay 17 storage area and reviewed recent inspection records to verify they were maintained and capable of performing their intended safety function. Additionally, the inspectors conducted walkdowns of other credited IROFS, such as the CSB fire suppression systems, fire water storage tanks, and distribution system, to evaluate their material condition and verify that their configuration was consistent with system drawings.

Training Compliance On December 19, 2019, the inspectors observed a portable fire extinguisher hands-on training session for new and current operators working in areas which relied on fire extinguisher as IROFS (i.e., CSB and bay 17 storage area) and other fire-sensitive areas (i.e., RTR and UR facilities). The inspectors reviewed a sample of portable fire extinguisher hands-on training records and discussed the training with operators to confirm their participation. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the annual read-and-sign FP training material, RTP-OCT-2019: Fire Protection, required for all BWXT site employees, vendors, and contractors to ensure it communicated expected fire prevention and fire response techniques as well as relevant information specific to 7

fires and fire hazards that could be expected at the facility. The inspectors also reviewed training records to verify that offsite responders received annual training in the areas of nuclear criticality safety (NCS), radiological safety, and site emergency response.

a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the NCS program to verify compliance with selected portions of 10 CFR 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material; License Application Chapter 2, Organization and Administration; Chapter 5, Nuclear Criticality Safety; and applicable procedures. Specific areas of the NCS program reviewed are detailed below.

Criticality Analysis The inspectors reviewed selected NCSEs and technical reports to verify that they were consistent with the commitments in the license application. These commitments included the double contingency principle, assurance of sub-criticality under normal and credible abnormal conditions with the use of sub-critical margin, having properly reviewed and approved NCSEs in place prior to conducting new or changed operations, as well as technical practices and methodologies outlined in Section 5.2.5, Safety Factors, of the license application as applicable to moderator control, fixed absorbers, and structural integrity. The inspectors reviewed the selected NCSEs to determine whether calculations were performed within their validated area of applicability, applied 8

the appropriate margin of sub-criticality, and were consistent with the validation report.

The NCS documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees generation of accident sequences to determine whether the NCSEs systematically identified normal and credible abnormal conditions in accordance with the commitments and methodologies in the license application for the analysis of process upsets. The inspectors reviewed assumptions made for upset conditions to verify they were clearly described, appropriately conservative, and matched the calculation input files. The inspectors also reviewed the protection and prevention scores assigned in the accident sequences to determine whether they were consistent with procedural guidance and resulted in the scenario being highly unlikely.

Criticality Implementation The inspectors performed walkdowns in UR, pharmacy/filler areas, and RTRT to determine whether existing plant configuration and operations were covered by and consistent with the process description and safety basis in the selected NCSEs. The inspectors reviewed process and system descriptions, test results, and specifications to verify that engineered controls established in the NCSEs were included and being implemented as specified. The engineered controls reviewed included fixed absorbers, barriers to moderator, geometry and mass restraints, and controls on spacing. The inspectors reviewed operating procedures and postings to verify that selected administrative controls established in the NCSEs were included. The administrative controls reviewed included spacing, mass, material, and moderator controls. The inspectors interviewed operations management and engineers to verify that administrative actions established in the NCSEs were implemented as specified.

The inspectors reviewed portions of the ISA summary (specifically SAR 15.22, RTRT Fuel Powder and Compact Processes) and supporting ISA documentation (SAR Appendices) to determine whether the controls identified in the ISA were supported by technical bases in the NCSEs. These controls included fixed absorber, spacing, geometry, mass, and moderation controls in the highly enriched uranium (HEU) powder glovebox line, as well as selected controls in other areas where NCSEs were reviewed or walkdowns were conducted. The inspectors also reviewed the IROFS documented in the NCSEs and ISA.

Criticality Operational Oversight The inspectors reviewed records of quarterly NCS audits and accompanied an NCS engineer on a weekly walkdown of the SFF, to determine whether NCS staff routinely assessed field compliance with established NCS controls. Additionally, the inspectors interviewed NCS engineers and reviewed records to verify that the NCS engineers prepared for the walkdowns, maintained records of walkdowns and audits, and findings were communicated to management as required. The records of NCS audits and records of weekly walkdowns reviewed included those listed in the Attachment.

Criticality Programmatic Oversight The inspectors reviewed NCSE-07, Qualification & Training Requirements for a Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineer, Rev. 18, to determine whether the revisions to the procedure 9

were in accordance with the requirements in Section 2.1.6, Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineers, of the license application.

The inspectors reviewed NCS staff qualification records to verify that licensee staff who were qualifying as NCS auditors and senior NCS engineers were qualified in accordance with license requirements.

Criticality Incident Response and Corrective Action The inspectors reviewed selected NCS-related CAP entries and safety concern analyses to verify that anomalous conditions were promptly identified and entered into the CAP, that they received the required level of investigation, and that an extent of condition was performed when required by licensee procedures. The inspectors reviewed selected associated CAs to verify that they were sufficiently broad, completed, and fixed the condition. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the selected CAP entries to assess whether licensee personnel followed regulatory requirements and procedures with regards to reporting plant conditions to the NRC. The safety concern analyses and CAP entries reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Conclusion

5. Evaluation of Exercises and Drills (Inspection Procedure 88051)
a. Inspection Scope The inspectors observed and evaluated the licensees graded biennial exercise conducted on October 30, 2019, as well as briefings and critiques involving both onsite and offsite participants to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70.22(i)(3)(xii), the licensees Emergency Plan, and applicable procedures. The scenario involved a transportation accident at the entrance to the site involving a truck delivering propane, a passenger vehicle, and a tractor trailer carrying mixed waste and hazardous material from the site.

In the scenario, this accident lead to a fire, a mixed waste spill, and a hazardous airborne chemical release near the site boundary causing contamination and injuries to site personnel and members of the public. The scenarios hazardous chemical release had the potential to impact businesses and public roads.

Before the exercise, the inspectors walked down the plant, observed the evaluation briefing, and the player briefing to verify that personnel were informed of their duties and responsibilities for the exercise while maintaining the exercise scenarios confidentiality.

The inspectors reviewed the exercise scenario to verify that the offsite agencies were invited to participate and that the accident scenario of a fire involving radioactive material was among those most probable for the facility. The inspectors also reviewed the 13

scenario objectives and observed the emergency exercise to verify that the exercise scenario tested the licensees emergency response organizations (ERO) ability to execute the Emergency Plan.

At the initiation of the emergency exercise, the inspectors observed the licensees communications and emergency response decision making to verify that ERO personnel assessed the accident scenario, analyzed the plant conditions, and classified the event as a site area emergency. The inspectors observed the activation of the emergency operations center (EOC) and emergency response organization to verify that all required positions were staffed and that the emergency organization responded to their assigned locations. The inspectors observed the licensees initial assessment of the event to verify that it was performed. The inspectors observed communication and coordination by players at the incident command post and the EOC during development of protective action recommendations to verify that the recommendations communicated by the EOC were appropriate for the accident scenario.

The inspectors observed the timing and content of offsite notifications to verify that the notifications were made within the period specified in Section 7.8, Notification of Government Agencies, of the Emergency Plan. The inspectors reviewed the press releases developed by the EOC communicators to verify that they were reviewed, approved, and coordinated.

The inspectors observed communications into and out of the EOC and briefings by the emergency director to verify that the emergency director maintained command and control of the EOC. The inspectors observed the reports of simulated survey results being made to the emergency management organization to verify that the emergency director used the survey results to assess the accident scenario.

The inspectors observed members of the licensees emergency response team assemble at the designated assembly area and the arrival of the offsite emergency responders, including fire and emergency medical technician, at the event location to verify that the incident commander maintained command and control of the emergency response team and coordinated action with the offsite emergency responders. The inspectors observed the emergency response teams search and rescue activities, assessment of the affected area and hazards, fire-fighting activities, and response to additional emerging situations to verify that the emergency response team activities were appropriate for the exercise scenario and were appropriate in meeting the exercise objectives.

The inspectors observed the staff critiques of the emergency exercise to verify that the licensee conducted critiques to evaluate appropriateness of the facilities, equipment, personnel, training, and overall effectiveness of the emergency organization. The inspectors observed licensee personnel identify and discuss deficiencies and areas of improvement during the critiques to verify that the licensee documented and tracked deficiencies identified by the critiques in the CA and commitment tracking program for timely correction.

b. Conclusion

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

D. Other Areas

1. Observations of Security Personnel and Activities
a. Inspection Scope During both normal and off-normal plant working hours, the inspectors conducted observations of security force personnel and activities to verify that the activities were consistent with security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to nuclear plant security.

The inspectors observed a force-on-force drill on October 16, 2019, to verify compliance and assess the effectiveness of the licensees implementation of protective strategies in accordance with NRC-approved security plan and procedures. The inspectors verified that the licensees critique process identified, and captured weaknesses noted during the exercise as required.

These quarterly resident inspectors observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status reviews and inspection activities.

b. Conclusion

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

2. (DISCUSSED) Violation 2018-006-03: Failure to Maintain Adequate Process Safety Information for Process Systems Associated with the UAlx Glovebox Systems as Required by 10 CFR 70.62(b)

The events surrounding this VIO were reported to the NRC as EN 52840 and discussed in detail in NRC IR 70-27/2017-007 (ML17251A001). Licensee staff discussed their completed and planned CAs in 60-Day Written Report for Event Notification Number 52840, dated August 9, 2017 (ML17226A037) and 60-Day Report Additional Information, dated October 16, 2017 (ML19007A047).

During this inspection, the inspectors reviewed progress toward completion of the CAs to establish a set of revision-controlled NCS evaluations containing the safety basis for all processes. Licensee staff briefed the inspectors on the progress made as of the inspection stating they were on track to complete 10-process analyses this year and that the long-term CAs remained on schedule. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed NCS-PA-30-00002, Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluation of the Shipping and Receiving Container Operations, which was recently completed as part of the licensees CAs.

This item remains open.
