Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending February 26, 1993 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) - Unit 2 Unit 2 is currently in Mode 5 with a bubble in the pressurizer. The licensee estimates initial criticality will occur on March 15, 1993. Critical path items for achieving startup are repair of a residual heat removal (RHR) pump l discharge motor operated valve (MOV) and calibration of the digital rod position indication (DRPI) equipment. The RHR discharge valve spring pack cover was damaged during valve disassembly to repair minor leakage. The cover was damaged when the packing blew out during disassembly due to the presence of residual pressure in the system. The licensee is reviewing the maintenance procedure and the system tag out to determine the cause of the event. The licensee replaced the DRPI panel due to erroneous rod position indications and is currently calibrating the replacement panel. The cause of the errone-ous indications, initially thought to be crimped connectors, is still under investigation by the licensee. On February 19, 1993, Citizens for Fair Utility Regulation (CFUR) fil-J a petition for late intervention to reopen the CPSES operating license hearings. The petition cited continued concerns with the Thermo-Lag fire barrier system as sufficient cause to prevent the issuance of a full power license for Unit 2. 0GC is preparing a response to the petition. The Comanche Peak oversight panel will meet in Region IV on February 25, 1993, to discuss the status of the licensee's ongoing startup activities. The panel will also discuss the material to be presented by the staff at the full power operating license Commission meeting, currently scheduled for March 15, 1993. Brunswick. Units I a.nd_2 Based on discussions between licensee management and Region II, the date for the start of the NRC Operations Readiness Assessment Team (0 RAT) Inspection has been delayed I week to March 15, 1993. The expected date for restart of Unit 2 has similarly been changed to April 5,1993. The next Restart Status Meeting will occur on March 2,1993, at the Brunswick site. The licensee has completed its self-assessment of readiness for restart. The report by the Nuclear Assessment Department has identified three startup issues and several near-term, post-startup issues. The basic concerns in the report center on the areas of management and supervisory involvement in the preparation for evolutions, operator awareness of causal effacts before reacting to changing conditions, and the defining of the scope, schedule and coordination of maintenance work activities. The staff will continue to follow the licensee's evaluation and resolution of these items. The Unit 2 containment integrated leak rate test is scheduled to begin on the evening of February 24, 1493.

2 Meetino with Babcock & Wilcox on STAR Dioital RPS Uoorade On February 22, 1993, members from the Instrumentation and Controls Branch, Division of Reactor Controls'and Human Factors, and the Oconee Project Manager, met with Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) to discuss their proposed topical report on the design of a new digital reactor protection system (RPS) module, called STAR, that is _ intended to replace outdated analog RPS components. B&W described the STAR system design and future plans for demonstration testing of a prototype module at the Oconee Plant. B&W has incorporated features in the design which address previous staff questions regarding analog to digital retrofits. They plan to submit the topical report around June 1993 with the intent that a referencing licensee be able to install the STAR system under the provisions 10 CFR 50.59 once the topical report receives staff approval. Meetinos attended durino the week of February 15. 1993 Members of the Containment Systems and Severe Accident Branch, Advance Reactors Project Directorate, and Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch, met with members of Duke Engineering Services and ABB to discuss severe accident issues associated with System 80+. It appears that most issues are well along the path to resolution. We expect a revised submittal by March 15, 1993. The issue of hydrogen control is not as clearly defined. ABB has committed to clearly define the role of hydrogen igniters and their effect on the containment environment. The staff indicated that this was necessary in order to evaluate the number and placement of the igniters. The staff does not foresee this as a major problem. Meetino with NMSS on Waste / Site Contamination Issues The Chief and Section Chief of the Radiation Protection Branch, NRR, met with several members of management from the NMSS Division of low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning, and the Division of Industrial and Medical Safety on February 18, 1993. The purpose ~of the meeting was to discuss NRR-proposed generic communications on: (1) the use of 10 CFR 50.75(g) as applied to residual radioactive materials resulting from spills, and (2) the selection and use of lower limits of detection for unrestricted release of liquid and semi-solid materials having potential contamination distributed over the volume of the material. Meetino with Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to discuss Sucolemental EPRI Guidance for Procurement and Dedication On February 17, 1993, the Director and Deputy Director, Division of Reactor Inspection and Licensee Performance, and members of the Vendor Inspection Branch met with EPRI Plant Support Engineering, NUMARC and licensee representatives to discuss the draft. supplemental guidance to EPRI NP-5652, " Guideline for the Utilization of Commercial Grade Items in Nuclear Safety Related Applications (NCIG-07)," and to obtain technical input on key procurement and dedication issues.

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Items of Interest Week Ending February 26, 1993 Update on Site Decommissionina Manaaement Plan Site - Wyman-Gordon Division of low-Level Waste Management (LLWM) staff prepared a draft dose assessment of a prior 10 CFR 20.304 disposal of magnesium-thorium alloy wastes at the Wyman-Gordon Company site in North Grafton, Massachusetts. Using the RESRAD computer code, LLWM staff calculated doses in excess of 1,000 mrem /yr to a hypothetical farmer-intruder, and based on these doses, is recommending that the disposal area be remediated. The draft dose assessment is being transmitted for comment to Wyman-Gordon, Comonwealth of Massachusetts officials, and local officials. German Delecation Visits a Uranium Mill Tailinas Remedial Action Site The German Government has initiated plans for the rehabilitation of areas used for uranium production. A seven-member delegation of the German Parliament's Committee on Environment Protection and Reacto: -afety requested a visit to view the United States' program for cleaning up uranium mill tailings. On February 19, 1993, representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy (DOE) met with the delegation and conducted them on a tour of the UMTRA Project site in Falls City, Texas. This meeting and site tour provided DOE and NRC an opportunity to present general technical considerations and lessons learned in planning, performing, and regulating remedial actions. Public Meetina with Michiaan Attorney aeneral on Dry Cask Storace The staff is in the final stages of a Part 72 rulemaking activity to certify the VSC-24 concrete cask for dry storage of spent reactor fuel under general license. The Palisades Nuclear Plant, Covert, Michigan, would be the first reactor site to use this cask to provide additional spent fuel storage capacity. In response to a letter, from the Attorney General of the State of Michigan, which requested a public hearing, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff met with the Attorney General on February 23, 1993, in a transcribed public meeting to answer his questions regarding spent fuel storage, confi-dence in permanent disposal of high-level waste, concerns about the VSC-24 cask and use of the VSC-24 at Palisades. The meeting was then opened to the public to allow statements from citizens and representatives of public interest, environmental groups, and local associations which expressed a broad range of concerns about spent fuel storage in general, use of the VSC-24 cask at Palisades, and concern about potential consequences to the local environ-ment and Lake Michigan from spent fuel storage. Revised Study Plan level of Detail Aareement for the Hich-level Waste Repository On February 24, 1993, the Level of Detail agreement for Study Plans submitted j by the Department of Energy (DOE) as part of its site characterization program was forwarded by the Division of High-level Waste Management (HLWM) to DOE for signature. The content of the new agreement was negotiated over several FEBRUARY 26, 1993 ENCLOSURE B

2 months by the HLWM and DOE staffs in an effort to make the requirements for content of study plans written by DOE scientists fit the need of the study and to eliminate unneeded requirements. The negotiations included a meeting between HLWM staff and representatives from DOE, the State of Nevada, and affected local governments that developed the rationale for the new agreement. In conjunction with the new level of Detail Agreement, the staff is completing a streamlined Study Plan Review Plan that should expedite reviews and significantly increase review efficiency. Discovery of " Soft-Ground" May lead to Exploratory Studies Facility Desion Modifica11gn The Division of High-Level Waste. Management On-Site Licensing Representatives (ors) reported that scientific drilling at the candidate high-level waste repository site along the exploratory studies facility (ESF) ramp-tunnel right-of-way indicates that subsurface rock approximately 500 feet beyond the ramp entry consists of poorly consolidated volcanic ash that will probably require structural supports in the ESF. The poorly consolidated material lies adjacent to the Bow Ridge fault which will be intersected by the ramp. Because data are limited, the OR3 reported that the extent of the poorly consolidated zone is unclear at this time. DOE will drill additional holes to better predict the subsurface geology and is currently reviewing the engineering options for supporting the ramp-tunnel opening where it passes through the poorly consolidated zone. ABB Combustion Enoineerino. Inc. - Hematite. Missouri On February 18-19, 1993, staff from the Division of fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards visited ABB Combustion Engineering-Hematite (CE-H) to establish a clear understanding of the license amendment application regarding consolidation. Consolidation involves relocation of the uranium fuel rod loading and bundle assembly manufacturing conducted at ABB Combustion Engineering's facility in Windsor, Connecticut, to Hematite. The staff and CE-H representatives discussed the nuclear criticality safety issues identified in the staff's review of the licensee's consolidation amendment application. To date, CE-H has constructed a new building to consolidate operations. The licensee provided a tour of the new building and explained details of the proposed operations. CE-H intends to submit a supplement containing modifications to the amendment application by February 26, 1993. NRC Reportino Reouirements of Nuclear Material Balances On February 19, 1993, a member of the Regulatory and Intcrnational Safeguards Branch (FRIB) and two members of the Enrichment Branch (FCEB) attended a meeting with the Department of Energy (DOE) to discuss the reporting requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with regard to the two gaseous diffusion enrichment plants.

Incidents A feedwater pipe rupture occurred on Thursday, February 25 at the Loviisa 2 Atomenergoexport (AEE)-designed 445 PWR nuclear power plant in Finland. The reactor was brought to a safe shutdown, and there were no releases of radioactive material off-site nor personal injuries. The cause of the pipe i rupture, which occurred at the turbine hall, is considered to be erosion corrosion on the secondary side cir uit. Such an event is usually classified as a level 1 on the International 8 uclear Event Scale, but because a similar event occurred at the Loviisa 1 ALE-designed unit in May of 1990, this event is being classified as a level 2.
