Facility Changes and Modifications / Operations Review Approximately one man-day was expended visiting all facilities where licensed material is used or stored.
In addition, several licensee facilities under DOE jurisdiction were visited in order to gain perspective on the total operation.
In some facilities, it was found that NRC licensed material and material under DOE jurisdiction are stored together.
Two facilities visited that were under total DOE control were the Critical Mass Laboratory and the Steam Generator Examination Facility.
Of the enriched uranium possessed it was found that most of it was in storage. Of the total amount possessed, only two grams was being used. The material being used was in the form of a mounted specimen for electron microscope and metallography examination.
No violation of good radiation or criticality safety practices were noted during the tour.
Criticality safety limits and Radiation Work Procedures (RWP's) were properly posted where required.
Some out of date NRC-3 Forms were noted in the Physical Science Laboratory.
The inspectors were assured that all out of date forms will be replaced with current ones.
a.
. Building 231-Z Room 46 discussed in Report 81-02, has been completed and is now operational.
It is being used for DOE work.where there is a high probability of contamination. At the present time it is not being used for work with NRC licensed material. Licensed material is being stored only, it is not being used.
b.
Building 306W Uranium varying in enrichment from 2.53% to 9% was observed in l
storage in a Building 306-W vault. The material was observed to be safely stored in clearly marked containers along with DOE owned material. No violation of good radiation or criticality safety practices were noted during this phase of the inspection.
c.
Physical Science Laboratory Uranium items varying.in enrichment from 2.53% to 9" were observed in safe and secure storage. A two gram specimen mounted for electron microscope and metallographic observation, being used in another part of the laboratory, was not observed.
It was properly signed out by the material custodian. The small amount of material precluded any criticality safety problems. The mounting of the material in plastic minimized the radiation safety problems.
