1 HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT WEEK ENDING MAY 18, 1990 Seabrook Modifications to the turbine are progressing. Workers have completed brazing four new metal rods between the turbine blades in one low 1ressure section of the turbine. This modifiention will change the natural vi> ration characteris-tics of the turbine to eliminate a resonance peak which would occur near the turbine operation of 1800 RPM. Today, the workers are finishing their pene-trant tests of the welds.
If the test results are acceptable, the workers will begin reassembling the turbine on or about May 23, 1990, and begin rerunning the turbine torsional test to demonstrate that the vibration problem has been solved.
Two simultaneous test soundin[s of 110 sirens in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire communities near Seabrook Station were conducted on May 16, 1990.
The tests involved 94 pole-mounted sirens in the 17 New Hampshire connunities near Seabrook Station, and 16 truck-mounted sirens (VANS) for the six Massachusetts. communities near the plant. The State of New Hampshire Office of Emergency Management and New Hampshire Yankee conducted the tests, which are i
being evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
New Ham) shire Yankee made an extensive effort to notify local residents of the tests tirough newspaper advertisements and press releases. In addition, hundreds of posters were distributed to schools, stores, restaurants, government buildings and other public places.
Withdrawal of Petition for Leave to Intervene in the Case of the Calvert Cliffs
,D_ry 5 pent Fuel 5torage Application On May 11, 1990, lawyers for the State of Maryland, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E) and the NRC signed an agreement for an open exchange of information concerning BG&E's plans to site, license and operate an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at its Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The agreement provides a forum for resolving issues i
identified in the State's Petition for Leave to Intervene and for consideration of issues which may be identified in the future. As a result of the agreement, the State is withdrawing its Petition for Leave to Intervene, and BGAE is
)
requesting an ASLB order confirming termination of the Calvert Cliffs ISFSI l
proceeding.
Minnesota and Iowa Adopt BRC Restrictions On May 8 Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich signed a bill requiring low-level radioactive waste to be treated, recycled, stored, or disposed of at facilities which are specifically licensed to treat, recycle, store, or dispose of such waste, without regard to federal reclassification as "below regulatory concern'.
On April 24, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad signed legislation, which relates to local approval of the siting of sanitary disposal projects, including a re-striction on the disposal of radioactive materials in a sanitary landfill.

Items of Interest Week Ending May 18, 1990 Grand Gulf, On May 15, 1990, the County Attorney, Claiborne County, Mississippi, where 4
Grand Gulf is located, requested that the May 24, 1990 meeting between NRC j
staff and local government officials be deferred to a later date. The meeting i
had been requested by the Claiborne County Board of Supervisors to discuss Claiborne County responsibilities to Grand Gulf. Officials of the City of Port Gibson (about 5 miles from the plant) were expected to participate in the May 24, 1990 meeting.
NRC staff suggested that the County Attorney coordinate a new date with the Mayor of Port Gibson and advised him that the staff would support the meeting.
The adequacy of offsite response capability by city and county governments is being questioned by local government officials because of a lack of sufficient funds. The licensee has prepared contingency emergency response plans in the event City and County portions of the plan could not be carried out effectively. The State of Mississippi, through the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, has committed to providing support for Claiborne County and Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in the event of an incident requiring offsite response.
r Oconee Nuclear Station Unit I l
On May 17, 1990, after completing refueling of Oconee Unit 1, plant operators l
were making preparations to drain the fuel transfer canal. While lining up to recirculate the transfer canal water for clean-up, a procedural step was performed out of sequence, resulting in the cross-connect valves between the spentfuelpool(SFP)andthetransfercanalbeingshut. Water was pumped from the transfer canal to the SFP, overflowing the SFP, with the overflow wetting several areas in the auxiliary building and some areas in the rear of the Unit 1/2 common control room. Two non-licensed operators noted water wetting a wall and immediately went to the SFP, notified the control room of the con-dition and secured the pump. Action was taken to immediately contain the water, and the licensee has determined that no off-site releases occurred. Licensee has reported that approximately 5,000 gallons of water overflowed from the SFP.
Cleanup of contaminated areas is in progress, and the Senior Resident is L
closely monitoring the licensee's action. A Health Physics inspector from l
Region II is also at the site monitoring licensee cleanup efforts. Units 2 l
and 3 continue to operate at 100% power. The licensee has indicated they will report the event to the NRC and notify local news media.

On Sunday, May 13, 1990, an offsite 345Kv transmission line developed a ground short and a reactor trip resulted from a malfunction of a loss of field relay i
on the main generator. The plant responded normally to the trip. By 0800 on May 16, 1990 power was at the 75% level, on an ascent to about 90%.
Seabrook Modifications to the turbine are progressing. Workers have completed brazing four new metal rods between the turbine blades in one low pressure section of the turbine. This modification will change the natural vi> ration characteris-tics of the turbine to eliminate a resonance peak which would occur near the turbine operation of 1800 RPM. Today, the workers are finishing their pene-trant tests of the welds.
If the test results are acceptable, the workers will begin reassembling the turbine on or about May 23, 1990, and begin rerunning the turbine torsional test to demonstrate that the vibration problem has been solved.

Sequoyah. Uni _t 1 Sequoyah Unit ~ is in the )rocess of restartir>g from its Cycle 4 refueling outage which begcn on Marc 1 17, 1990. This outage included major modific s ons to install the Eagle-21 process protection system, upper head injection reical, BIT deactivation ATWS AMSAC addition, Regulatory Guide 1.97 upgrades,andpost-restartpipIngsupportmodifications. Unit I will be the first operating plant using the Westinghouse Eagle-21 System. The outage was scheduled for 68 days and should be completed in 73 days.
Unit 1 is scheduled to enter Mode 4 at 8:00 p.m. today and be critical at 8:00 a.m. on May 22, 1990. The unit is scheduled to be at 100% power at 8:00 a.m. on May 29, 1990.
Fitness-For Duty (FFD) Training, May 15-17, 1990 A 3-day workshop took place on May 15-17, 1990, for FFD inspectors from all regional offices. Training was provided to ensure that inspectors are familiar with the FFD rule and associated issues prior to commencing actual inspections this summer.

' 4 Haddam Neck, Thermal Shield Removal i
During the second 151, CYAPC0 found extensive damage to the Haddam Neck thermal shield supports and fasteners. The licensee has decided therefore to remove 1
the thermal shield. Removal of the thermal shield will result in an increase in the pressure vessel fluence and loss of the support for the remaining surveillance capsules. The pressure vessel base and the weld metals at Haddam Neck have very low copper and nickel contents, however. As a result, the estimated end of life fracture toughness is acceptable. The archival material irradiation and the pressure vessel surveillance functions will be carried out by continuing sample irradiation at Millstone 3 and by core cavity surveillance in Haddam Neck. Finally, accident analyses shows that the plant performance without the thermal shield is unaffected under LOCA and transient conditions, j
NRR/ Regional HP Counterpart Meeting Members of the Radiation Protection Branch are in Region IV May 15-16, 1990 to attend a semi-annual meeting with HP management from all the Regions. During the two-day meeting, a broad spectrum of technical and policy issues pertinent to the inspection programs will be discussed.
Representatives from ILPB-NRR, TTC-AE0D, and RES will also be attending.
Palisades Site Visit On May 3,1990, two members of the Division of Safety Technology joined other NRR staff members at the Palisades site to review the plans and procedures for r
j the upcoming steam generator replacement with the licensee and his prime contractor, Bechtel. The staff was introduced to the key management
>ersonnel from the licensee's and contractor's staff and were given a detailed
)riefing by the Bechtel project manager on the conduct of the replacement operation. The briefing covered design and placement of temporary structures, procedures for cutting out and replacing a section of the containment wall and procedures for severing and rewelding reactor coolant system piping and main steam and feedwater piping. The staff was also briefed on the design differences between the new and old steam generators and the status of the licensee's reanalysis of accidents and transients.
In the afternoon, the staff entered containment with the Bechtel project manager and reviewed steam
' generator replacement activities that will take place inside containment. The staff also toured areas outside containment where steam generator replacement activities will take place, and concluded the tour with an inspection of the new steam generators. NRR staff will meet the licensee at NRC HQ in early June to discuss results of the steam line break and steam generator tube rupture analyses and the licensee's plans for LOCA analysis.

proceeding.
Radioactive Campaign and Orange Environment Defined Request for Hearing On May 8, 1990, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel issued a memorandum and order in which it denied Radioactive Campaign and Orange Environment's request for a hearing and petition to intervene regarding the staff's imediately effective Order Modifying License issued to Cintichem, Inc., on February 13, 1990. The February 13, 1990, Order was an enforcement action l
requiring Cintichem to shut down its licensed facility until such time as Cintichem had identified and repaired existing leaks. The petitioners did l
not disagree with the Order, but were requesting a full hearing on the l
operations, waste disposal protocol, the nature, extent, and effects of the l
effluents and emissions of the facility prior to restart of the facility's reactor. The board dismissed the petitioners' request as moot because Cintichem had voluntarily decided to close its facility and decomission the reactor subsequent to the staff's Order.
The board also held that if Cintichem had not decided to decomission its reactor, the petitioners' recuest would have to be denied because the only issue which may be heard uncer the staff's Order is whether the order should be sustained.
United Nuclear Corporation, Inc. (UNC), Montville, Connecticut On May 9, 1990, staff members of NMSS and Region I met with UNC representatives to review the draft decomissioning plan for their fuel fabrication facility.
During the meeting, the staff provided coments on the release criteria and limits, written procedures for decomissioning, and the final radiological survey for the buildings and the area where radioactive liquid was discharged through the septic system.

Safeguards and Transportation International Safeguards Inplementation Annual Review Meeting During the period May 9-11, 1990, International Safeguards Branch staff attended the Eighth Annual United States - International Atomic Energy Agency 4
(IAEA) Safeguards Implementation Review Meeting at the Department of State.
The primary purposes of this meeting were to review IAEA's implementation of international safeguards at selected U.S. facilities during 1989 and plans for the future. Topics of discussion included inspection activities during the i
year, planned inspection activities for 1990-91, future facility selection plans, application of short notice random inspections, scrap measurement verification problems during a 1989 physical inventory verification, and accounting and reporting issues.
Transportation IAEA Meeting on Air Package Requirements On May 7-11, 1990, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) convened a Technical Comittee Meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Mode-Related Aspects of the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. The basic task of the committee was to specify what additional tests should be performed on packages already qualified as Type B in order to qualify them as air mode, or Type C, packages. The product of the meeting was draft text for new regulatory provisions concerning air mode transport. The text will be reviewed by the Standing Advisory Group on the Safe Transport of Radioactive c
Materials (SAGSTRAM) at its December 1990 meeting, and if approved, published as a technical document in 1991.
Approval of the Model No. TN-REG Shipping Cask On May 15, 1990, the Transportation Branch issued Certificate of Compliance No. 9206 for the TN-REG s)ent fuel shipping cask.
The cask was designed by Transnuclear, Inc., for tie Department of Energy (DOE). The cask is designed to ship up to 20 pressurized water reactor (PWR) spent fuel assemblies by rail and weighs approximately 275,000 pounds. DOE plans to use the cask to ship PWR spent fuel assemblies from West Valley, New York to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). After shipment, the cask will be used for dry storage of up to 40 PWR spent fuel assemblies at INEL.
Meeting on Transport of Pathfinder Reactor Vessel On May 10, 1990, the Transportation Branch staff met with Northern States Power Company (NSP) to discuss their application for certification of the Pathfinder reactor vessel as a radioactive materials transport package. The Pathfinder plant is being decommissioned, and NSP plans to transport the reactor vessel intact from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Richland, Washington.
The fuel has been removed from the vessel, but the reactor internals will remain in place. The meeting was held to discuss NSP's proposed responses to an NRC request for additional information. The shipment of the reactor vessel has been scheduled for the fall of 1990.

Division of Engineering CSNI Workshop on PTS Analysis A Workshop was held in Boston on May 8-10 by the Fracture Analysis Grou) of the CSNI's Principal Working Grou) No. 3 on the subject of fracture mec1anics analysis of 3ressurized thermal slock exaeriments. The workshop was organfred and managed )y the Oak Ridge National La) oratory's Heavy Section Steel Tech-nology Program staff as part of their contract research with RES' Division of Engineering. The participants, numbering about 40,-had all performed one or more analyses of five different p(ressurized thermal shock experiments, whichH Germany, and Japan.
had been conducted by the U. S.
Participants were given dimensions, test conditions, and material properties, and were asked to make a " prediction" of the failure conditions. Some eighty different responses were prepared, presented and discussed at the workshop.
Probably the most notable feature was the wide disparity of the results of the failure condition " predictions" as compared to the real failure conditions.
The reasons for many of the variances were uncovered and are understood; be-cause of national practices and data bases, however, some of those variances will remain.
It is clear that additional, more carefully controlled exercises will be needed in the future to expose those facets of fracture mechanics analy-sis which can be agreed upon for critical evaluations such as PTS. Such a l
program was put forth, and will doubtless be approved by the Principal Working Group at its next meeting.

Office of Enforcement Items of Interest Week Ending May 18, 1990 Significant Enforcement Action
.1.
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $75,000 was issued on May 10, 1990 to New York Power Authority (FitzPatrick). The action was based on events that led to the unplanned radiation exposure of 48.4 rems to the thumb of a Radiation and Environmental Services (RES) Technician on March 8, 1990. In addition to exceeding the quarterly exposure limit for extremities, the licensee was cited for inadequate radiation control procedures and failure to follow the approved station work procedure for a non-routine radiological evolu-tion. The civil penalty was escalated by 50% based on the licensee's poor past performance of non-routine radiological tasks that is evidenced by events in 1987 and 1989 that had similar root causes.
(EN 90-054) 2.
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $25,000 was issued on May 17, 1990'to'TU Electric (Comanche Peak). This action is based on a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion I.
Specifically, due to the actions of a QC supervisor, QC receipt inspectors at' Comanche Peak perceived-that their supervision would no longer allow them to issue non-conformance reports. The staff did not establish that the coincidental lay off of one of the QC receipt inspectors constituted a violation of 10 CFR 50.7. The escalation and mitigation factors of the Enforcement Policy were considered and in this case the base civ.il penalty for the Severity Level III violation was reduced by 50%
'in recognition of the licensee's significant improvement over their historical performance in handling harassment and intimidation issues.
During the staff's April 16, 1990 Comission briefing on Comanche Peak,
-this issue was noted as pending. At that time, an enforcement conference had already been held with TU Electric to ensure adequate corrective actions had been taken.
Civil Penalties Paid 1.
Duke Power Company (Catawba) paid the civil penalty in the amount of
$37,500. The action was based on the licensee's failure to take adequate corrective action and determine the root cause of a turbine driven auxi-liary feedwater pump overspeed event. The pump was declared operable following three successive failures.without adequate understanding of the root cause.
(EA 89-178) 2.
. Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut paid the civil penalty in the amount of $12,000. The action was based on a reported overexposure of 178 rems to the finger of a researcher and 10 other violations indicative of a significant breakdown in management control over licensed activities.

violation was categorized as a Category B violation.
(EA 88-192) 4.
Yeterans Administration Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York, paid the civil penalty in the amount of $8,750. The action was based on violations involving the failure to follow emergency procedures for a teletherapy unit-and a lack of management oversight of the facility's licensed programs.

Office of Consolidation Items of Interest Week Ending May 18, 1990 Second Building Status The Office of Consolidation (CONS), met with GSA, Tower, and Dewberry &
Davis on May 17 to discuss resumption of space planning for Two White Flint North (TWFN). Dewberry & Davis and Tower indicated that they were now ready to undertake a work station standards review planned by this Office.
Working with Dewberry & Davis' interior space planners, we will review a sample of work stations in One White Flint North (OWFN) with the occupants to determine what changes, if any, might be made to improve their efficiency, layout, or comfort. The review will involve written questionnaires for the sampled occupants in various offices and some follow-up per,caal inter-views. The systems furniture manufacturer also will be consulted on new product and other changes in the line since the equipment for OWFN was
- ordered almost three years ago.
Dewberry & Davis provided updated drawings and elevations of the second
-building. Dewberry also provided a suggested pedestrian path through the OWFN garage on Level A to the Level A of the second building.
This pedestrian pathway would not be enclosed, would reduce the number of parking spaces on Level A in OWFN by about 5-7 and would cross at least one traffic lane in the garage.
A meeting will be scheduled immediately to resolve the physical access and security system issues in TWFN, as the resolution could significantly change corridor patterns in the building. Another meeting will be scheduled to resolve base-building mechanical systems issues.
0WFN Cafeteria Delivery of air intake and exhaust fans for the kitchen exhaust system were not delivered during the week ending May 18 as previously projected. They are now expected on May 23 and June 4, respectively. Meanwhile the mechanical contractor is installing ductwork to connect the intake fan to the kitchen hood and the hood to the building exhaust duct. Completion of the cafeteria is still projected for early June.
Other Area Eating Establishments The Holloday Corporation, builder of the mini-mall across.Rockville Pike from OWFN, is currently leasing saace for occupancy in August and September of this year. To date, Holloday las leased space to a deli, the White
.Hountain Creamery (ice cream, yogurt), a bakery, a pizza parlor, and 7-11 (which will be larger than the previous 7-11 on the site). These alaces will be available around August 1990. Holloday, which also owns t1e site of the existing Roy Rogers, renewed that lease late last year. However, Mcdonald's has shown a strong interest in the location, i

Limerick Regulatory Effectiveness Review During the week of May 7, 1990, a Regulatory Effectiveness Review (RER) was conducted at the Limerick Generating Station in Limerick, Pennsylvania.
-The purpose of the RER was to review the effectiveness of the safeguards systems and determine if the Limerick security program, as implemented, met the performance objectives of 10 CFR Part 73. The review focused particular attention on the methods and procedures em)1oyed to protect vital equipment. Preliminary findings presented to tie licensee by the RER team leader at the conclusion of the RER identified no major safe-guards vulnerabilities or inadequacies. However, those findings are subject to additional management review and have the potential to change prior to issuance of the final RER report.

Missouri River Level / Flow Lawsuit (Followup)
On Friday, May 11, 1990, a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers does not have to reduce releases from upstream Missouri River reservoirs at the present time. The judges' order blocked a previous order issued on May 9, 1990, by the U.S.
District Judge in Bismarck, North Dakota, which required the Cor)s to cut releases until June 1, 1990. The order is a temporary stay, witt the states and the Corps being directed to argue the case at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16, 1990, before the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota. The decrease in flow from the upstream Missouri River reservoirs would cause level decreases in the Missouri River and subsequent temperature increases which could affect operation of the Cooper Nuclear Station and the Fort Calhoun Station during the summer. Region IV will
. continue to monitor development.
