Inspection Report No. 50-244/82-23

Dear Mr. Martin:

Wis letter is in response to the stated violations resulting frm an inspection of our facility on Novenber 16-19, 1982, conducted by Mr. A. Della Ratta of your office.

The following is a description of the stated violations.

As outlined in Appendix A, Notice of Violation, each of the items listed will be addressed pursuant to the provisions of 10CFR2.201.

a) W e SNM physical inventory of March 24, 1982 was not performed within the required twelve nonth interval from the previous SNM E ysical inventory performed on July h

11, 1980.

This. item correctly identifies a violation of 10CFR70.51(d). This code is referenced in our procedure titled "Spe.cial Nuclear Material Physical Inventory", RF-46 Rev.

3, i

however,. it did not state the time span between inspection intervals.

To correct this situation, a permanent change has been subnitted for pro dure RF-46 to explicitly specify the twelve nonth inventory requirement of 10CFR70.51(d).

mis procedure change will add a precaution statement as follows:

"his inventory will rurmally be performed at @ proximately six nonth intervals, but at no time to exceed a twelve nonth interval.

Iog cmpletion date of last inventory inspection".

Since the SNM physical inv-eory of March 24, 1982 is still in ocxnpliance of 10CFR70.51(d), no innediate carrective action has to be taken at this time.

His SNM physical inventory however, will be performed prior to the March 24, 1983 requirement, i

ENM I ysical inventory was not performed at the termination of the last b)

A t

refueling that had been completed on June 16, 1981.

This violation resulted from an administrative cuersight with regards to promdure RF-46 Rev. 3.

By initiating the procedure change as noted in (a) above, the shortened time intervals will lessen the possibility of violating the requirements of 10CFR70.51(d).

SHEET NO, 2

04TE January 11, 1983 To Mr. 'Ihmas T. Martin, Director Division of Digineering and Technical Programs c) 'Ihe results of the March 24, 1982 StE physical inventory of the Spent Fuel Storage were not cmpared to the fuel status record of each fuel assably.

'Ihe Spent Fuel Storage map recorded a total of 283 fuel a==blies in storage when, in fact, a total of 204 fuel asssblies were in storage.

Fuel assembly No. Ir-ll had not been recorded in the SF A-17 location during the IN4 physical inventory.

'Ihis violation resulted frcn personnel error involving the total inventory existing in the Spent Fuel Storage. '1he above description of the violation incorrectly states that the inventory was not cmpared to the fuel status record for each fuel assably. 'Ihe fuel ctatus records were in fact cmpared, however, due to perconnel oversight, the specific location SFA-17 was not recorded.

'Ib alleviate this condition, the rex- -ydation of Mr.

Della Patta will be incorporated to cmpare the total S.F.A. as existing on the fuel stat-us records to the total checked on the inventory shoet of RF-46. '1his botte line cm-parison will be a checks and balance on the existing one-to-cne cmparison technique.

'Ihis procedure change has been sutmitted for permanent change along with the change noted in (a).
