,0 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending July 30, 1993 Palisades To follow-up open items identified by the Palisades AIT, NRR and Region III 1
staff have held daily conference calls with the licensee to discuss the progress of their ongoing root cause analyses, recovery activities, and short term corrective actions. Activities for the last week are summarized as follows:
Fuel Failure Investication The licensee performed eddy current tests on fuel rods in selected assemblies that have been in core corner locations, particularly in location B-19 wnere the failed fuel rod was discovered. Test results showed cladding degradation in some corner rods.
Based on these inspection results, the licensee established specific bundle replacement criteria, which led to their decision to use three-time burned "L" bundles to replace the 16 corner assemblies.
Furthermore, the licensee plans to reconstitute the replacement "L" assemblies by placing solid stainless steel rods at each assembly corner location. The staff is currently reviewing this proposal.
Uoner Guide Structure (UGS) Stuck Assembly Root Causes The reactor lower core support plate holes and the stuck assembly SAN-8 upper tie plate holes were gauged and found acceptable. The UGS alignment pins at two locations were found bent.
Combustion Engineering has been contracted to replace these pins starting this week.
Root cause analyses are continuing.
Recovery of Failed Fuel By measuring activity levels on the CVCS filters and demineralizer, the licensee estimated that about 8 percent of the lost fuel can be accounted for.
Efforts are continuing to locate, quantify, and remove the missing fuel in the vessel.
Fuel Failure Detection Plan The licensee contracted NWT Corporation to review the radiochemistry data from the last cycle. ' NWT will perform a detailed review of Palisades fuel monitoring procedures.
4 Limerick Generatino Station. Units 1 and 2 Both Limerick units are operating at 100% power with no significant problems.
PECo will start the transfer of the Shoreham fuel to the Limerick site at the -
er.d of this month. The GE IF-300 shipping cask that will be utilized for the JULY 30, 1993 ENCLOSURE A
2 transport of the slightly irradiated fuel will leave its storage location in Morris, IL, on July 30, 1993, travel by rail to Eddystone, PA, then by barge to the Shoreham site. The loaded cask is scheduled to leave the Shoreham site on September 23, via barge to Eddystone, PA, and continue by rail to the Limerick site.
It will reach the Limerick site by the end of September. The total number of trips are expected to be 33, and the full transfer is expected to be completed by spring 1994. The staff authorized PECo to receive, possess, and use the Shoreham fuel at the Limerick facility on June 23, 1993.
Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Unit 2 The licensee successfully completed the 100% load reject test on Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Unit 2 on July 27, 1993. This test completes the initial startup test program for the plant. Unit 2 is expected to restart on July 30, 1993, and should begin commercial operation during the week of August 2, 1993.
NRC Observation of INPO Accreditation Process Dr. George Usova, Training and Assessment Specialist from the Operator Licensing Branch, attended the INP0 Accreditation Board meeting in Atlanta, Georgia on July 27 and 28, 1993. The purpose of Dr. Usova's attendance was to observe the INP0 Accreditation process. NRC observation is provided for all INPO Accreditation Board meetings on a regularly scheduled basis.
Fire Barrier Testina Planned by Darchem Enaineerina Representatives of Darchem Engineering informally told the staff on July 20, 1993, that they are planning to conduct fire endurance tests on Thermo-Lag fire barrier installations that have been upgraded using Darchem's fire barrier system. They plan to test 3 24-inch x 6-inch cable trays, of which one will be protected by Thermo-Lag only and two will be enhanced by Darchem's product. The Thermo-Lag will be installed by a certified Thermal Scien e, Inc. installer, and none of the Thermo-Lag joints will be pre-buttered. The testing will be performed in the United Kingdom in two to three weeks. Darchem also mentioned that they are considering flammability testing and testing the effects of lower levels of radiant heat (around 800 *F) on the effectiveness of Thermo-Lag versus Darchem's product.
Darchem plans to provide all test reports to the NRC staff at the completion of the testing.
Boron Credit in PWR Spent fuel Pools A meeting was held on July 21, 1993, with the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) and NRC staff to discuss the safety implications of allowing credit for dissolved boron in PWR spent fuel pool water under normal conditions.
Although there is typically approximately 2000 parts per million (ppm) boron ir 9 pool at all times, the present staff position allows credit for boron

' der accident conditions. WOG presented background information, including an overview and benefits which would be realized if credit for boron were allowed in the spent fuel pool under normal as well as accident JULY 30, 1993 ENCLOSURE A
3 conditions. These benefits include additional fuel storage due to closer fuel assembly spacing and lower fuel cycle costs due to increased enrichment, and thus fewer fuel assemblies, per cycle. A generic topical report is planned for submittal to the NRC in August 1994 and a lead plant application in the third quarter of 1994.
BWR Water Level Instrumentation The Reactor Systems Branch met with Commonwealth Edison on July 26 to discuss their plans and schedule for implementation of a modification to their level instrumentation as requested by Bulletin 93-03 for the LaSalle station. At this meeting Commonwealth presented data from tests they performed using a periodic backfill system to flush their indication only reference legs with flow from the CRD system. This data showed spiking of the level indication during various control rod manipulations. The licensee believes that this spiking could result in spurious alarms or trips if this flow were to be applied continuously to reference legs that provide trip signals. The licensee stated that they would not be able to install a modification on the schedule requested by BL 93-03, and that the engineering necessary to complete the design and to resolve their concerns with CRD flow perturbations would not be completed until December of 1993.
The staff has been informed that the Pilgrim plant modified their water level instrumentation this weekend by installing a continuous reference leg backfill system.
The plant is starting up this week. The Reactor Systems Branch will be on site this week to perform a review of the licensees 50.59 evaluation for this modification and to review the licensees post modification testing, with particular attention to the potential for perturbations in the CRD flow to result in spurious trips or alarms, as postulated by Commonwealth Edison.
NRC and FEMA Monitorina Imoact of Midwest Floodina on Offsite Emeroency Preparedness PEPB is consulting daily with FEMA Headquarters counterparts regarding the impact of midwest flooding on offsite emergency preparedness for licensed nuclear power plants in the heaviest flood areas, including Quad Cities (which delayed restart), Cooper (which shut down), Callaway, and Fort Calhoun.
FEMA is currently reviewing offsite emergency capabilities of Nebraska and Missouri, which have been reportedly affected by the flooding.

URF0 Transition Oversicht Team Meetina The second meeting of the Uranium Recovery Field Office (URFO) Transition Oversight Team (TOT) was held on July 27, 1993. The TOT reviewed and recommended approval of a charter for the team which included items contained in the Staff Requirements Memo for SECY-93-150 " Plan of Action for Carrying Out the Closure of the Uranium Recovery Field Office". The team also finalized an Action Item List which included the initial items identified for oversight related to the URF0 closure.
Issues discussed at the meeting and listed on the Action Item List included plans for a team meeting with the URF0 Staff on September 9,1993, followed by a meeting with licensees and State officials on the same day. The next meeting of the URF0 TOT will be at the URF0 Denver office on September 8, 1993.
Nuclear Reaulatory Commission. Environmental Protection Aaency Manacement Briefed on Risk Harmonization Effort On Wednesday, July 28, 1993, staff from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) briefed the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, NRC, and the Director, Office of Radiation Programs and Indoor Air, EPA, on the status of risk harmonization efforts. The March 1992 Memorandum of Understanding between NRC and EPA directed both staffs to explore ways to harmonize risk goals, and to cooperate in developing approaches to risk assessment. This briefing summarized the results of a review of risk management approaches and risk goals in both agencies. By comparing a range of programs that regulate radionuclides [and, for EPA, chemical hazardous substances], staff identified similarities and JULY 30, 1993 ENCLOSURE B
2 s
differences in the approaches used by the two agencies. Despite different approaches and regulatory responsibilities, NRC and EPA found that they often achieved similar results in terms of protection of the public.
It was noted that perceptions of differences in protection provided by the two agencies often ignore the significant effect of implementation policies used by NRC and EPA. However, the study also noted that in certain program areas, the two agencies do not agree on what constitutes adequate protection.
Activities of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Technical Bases for Yucca Mountain Standards As a follow-up to the Committee's discussion during its May 27-29, 1993, meeting and as requested by the staff officers of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), tne Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is continuing to provide assistance on issues that the Committee may address as part of its study. The second meeting of the NAS Committee on Technical Bases for Yucca Mountain Standards has been scheduled for August 26-27, 1993 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The August meeting will focus on scientific and technical bases related to the following topics: the alternative scientific approaches for expressing health-based standards, connections between releases and exposures, and the comparison of health-based and technology-based standards.
Specific issues to be covered include:
time frames of concern, assessing risks to populations and individuals, dose-rencnse relationships, accounting for different radionuclides and different pathways to exposures, spatial and temporal gradients in exposures, and consistency with other U.S. and international standards. The Committee intends to focus on scientific discussions rather than policy positions of individuals or organizations.
Audit of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
During July 19-23, 1993, quality assurance (QA) and technical staff of the Division of High-Level Waste Management (HLWM) observed a QA audit of LLNL performed at Livermore, California, by the Yucca Mountain Quality Assurance Division (YMQAD) of the Department of Energy Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM). This audit, YMP-93-14, evaluated the LLNL QA program to determine whether it meets the OCRWM requirements and commitments.
Six QA programmatic elements and four technical areas were evaluated by the YMQAD audit team.
The HLWM observers determined that the audit was effective and agreed with the audit team that the LLNL QA program was effective overall in each of the QA programmatic and technical areas audited. As a result of the audit, one preliminary Corrective Action Request (CAR) was issued by the audit team.
The adverse condition identified in the CAR is not significant in terms of the overall LLNL QA program. The item will be tracked by OCRWM to ensure effective corrective action.

Each meeting averaged approximately 30 individuals in attendance, with a total of 52 speakers making statements and providing comments.
In general, all of the speakers supported NRC rulemaking action, and supported either a return to background or restricted use alternative for rulemaking. A number of speakers had questions about the use of the term " generic" and cautioned against allowing industry to leave sites under less restrictive requirements than return to background. Members of the press covered each of the meetings. A number of commentors suggested additional alternatives and impacts to be considered within the scope of the GEIS, including the alternative of a process based rule which would outline the manner in which site specific criteria would be develop using local citizen involvement.
JULY 30, 1993 ENCLOSURE C
2 Commentors also criticized NRC for not providing sufficient notice about the scoping meetings and attributed the limited pub'.tc attendance to NRC's process i
to announi:ing the meetings, and scheduling thr, meetings in the middle of the summer. A number of speakers also called fo, an extension of the comment period for the GEIS. The staff will analyza the comments submitted in the meetings along with written comments submixted via mail on NRC's computer bulletin board for the rulemaking.

Office of Enforcement Items of Interest Week Ending July 30, 1993 Sianificant Enforcement Actions A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $5,000 was issued on July 28, 1993 to Tulsa Gamn Ray, Inc., Tulsa, Oklahoma. The action was based on a Severity Level III problem involving the loss of a radiography camera from a licensee vehicle. The camera was recovered by a member of the public and returned to the licensee within an hour of the incident. No adjustments to the base civil penalty of $5,000 w'ere considered appropriate.
(EN 93-072)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $ 2,000 was issued on July 28, 1993 to the University of Virginia. The action was based on the operation of the UVAR reactor for approximately 5 1/2 hours without a number of the scram safety channels being operable. During the troubleshooting of a problem with the reactor instrumentation, a senior reactor operator switched two mixer-driver modules which, because of the presence of internal electrical jumpers, were not identical. This resulted in the disabling of the scram functions. The two violations that were identified have been classified as a Severity Level II problem. The base civil penalty of $4,000 has been mitigated a total of 50 percent for the licensee's identification of the self-disclosing event and the corrective actions taken.
(EN 93-073)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in the amount of $100,000 was issued on July 30, 1993, to Commonwealth Edison Company (Quad Cities Station, Unit 2).
The action was based on two violations involving the inoperability of emergency diesel generators wnich have each been classified as Severity Level III violations.
In the first, the shared emergency diesel generator was inoperable under certain conditions, due to a design deficiency.
in some associated logic circuitry.
In the second, the Unit 2 emergency generator was determined to be inoperable because the associated cooling water pump was incapable of performing its function.
In each case, the escalation and mitigation factors were considered.
In the first case, the base civil penalty of $50,000 was escalated a total of 50 percent to $75,000 after t
partially offsetting escalation for prior opportunities to identify with mitigation for licensee identification.
In the second case, the base civil penalty was mitigated 50 percent to $25,000 based upon mitigation for prior good licensee performance.
(EN 93-074)
Civil Penalties Paid Nebraska Public Power District (Cooper) paid the civil penalties in the amount of $200,000. The action was based on two Severity Level III violations. The first involved providing inaccurate information in response to an NRC Notice 4
of Violation.
The second involved the failure to identify and correct a potentially significant condition adverse to quality involving startup strainers remaining in safety-related systems. The licensee responded to the Notice in a letter dated April 29, 1993. After careful consideration of the JULY 30, 1993 ENCLOSURE K
9 licensee's response, the staff has concluded that the violations did occur as set forth in the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties and that the escalation and mitigation factors were correctly applied for both civil penalties.
(EA 93-030)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $500 was issued on June 24, 1993, to Hazelton Wisconsin, Inc., Madison, Wisconsin. Hazelton Wisconsin is authorized to possess and-use curie quantities of any byproduct material with atomic numbers 1-83 for use in research and development as defined by 10 CFR 30.4(q) and animal research.
In addition, the company is authorized to possess up to 1.2 curies of Ni-63 in gas chromatographs, each source not to exceed 15 millicuries.
In January 1992 the company accidently discarded one of these sources in the local landfill.
Because of ineffective corrective actions, it accidently discarded a second source in Seotember 1992. These losses constitute a violation of 10 CFR 20.301. The base civil penalty is $500. The base penalty was mitigated 50%
for identification and 100% for licensee performance, but it was also escalated 50% for ineffective corrective actions and for the two occurrences, resulting in no change to the base.

Ukrainian Environmental Minister Visit to NRC On Tuesday, Dr. Yuriy Kostenko, the Ukrainian Environmental Minister visited NRC to meet with Chairman Selin, Commissioners Remick and dePlanque, James Taylor and Carlton Stoiber. Dr. Kostenko presented a proposal for participation by the Environmental Ministry in JCCCNRS programs that dealt with environmental issues. He was very interested in obtaining information, particularly the economic aspects, that would help in developing an overall energy policy for Ukraine. A national energy policy is apparently a prerequisite for lifting the moratorium on start-up of three nearly completed VVER 1000 reactors and closing the two remaining Chernobyl RBMK's.
Responding to Dr. Kostenko's request for U.S. review of the Ukrainian energy policy, Chairman Selin recommended that the request go through the U.S.
Embassy in Kiev and the Embassv would coordinate a composite review from various U.S. sources.
