r HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REFORT WEEK ENDING JUNE 29, 1990 IION The Diagnostic Evaluation Team (DET) at Zion has identified saveral issues during its inspection. One of the major problems found by the team is related to inconsistencies in motor operated valves (MOV) torque switch settings. The licensee did not have proper control on the data used for the switch settings.
There are four different lists of settings, and no two lists agree with eac1 other or with actual settings. However, neither the licensee nor the region consider the valves inoperable.
f on June'22, 1990, Region III issued a Confirmatory Action Letter which con-firmed the actions expected from the licensee regarding the operability of these valves. By letter dated June 26, 1990, the licensee confirmed that all of the IEB 85-03 MOVs are operable (or will be operable) after taking appro-priate actions for each valve involved. The licensee is expected to re-evaluate its response to IEB 85-03. Region III has the lead on this issue.
however, NRR is working closely with them. The DET has scheduled an exit meeting with the:1icensee on June 29, 1990.
Second Building Status On June 28, Mr. Springer participated in a working session with the GSA negotiating team and the White Flint North Partnership negotiating team to discuss the terms and final wording of a lease agreement for the second'
- building. The three hour session did not result in completion of the task 3
and resumption of the talks is scheduled for July 2.
Both the Government and the Partnership participants are hopeful that the lease will be put in
~
l final form before the developer presents a final site plan proposal to the l
Montgomery County Planning Board on July 12.
L 0WFN Cafeteria 1
-Construction work on the cafeteria was completed during the week. On June 27, upon completion of a contest among NRC employees to name the cafeteria, we completed the design review of the new cafeteria logo, the menu board and other signs. The name selected is "New Reg Cafe."
We met with representatives of. Blind Industries and Services of Maryland, GSA's Concessions Group, and the operator, Nelson Garber, on June 27 to discuss last-minute issues related to the installation and hookup of equipment and the opening schedule. Blind Industries indicated that they would not be ready for' opening before July 16.

The DET has scheduled an exit meeting with the licensee on June 29, 1990.
GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION An agreement is expected to be signed by the Governor of Mississippi during the week of June 24, 1990 that would provide for distribution of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) tax revenue among 45 Mississippi counties served by Mississippi Power and Light Company and the City of Port Gibson. The agreement would re-quire Port Gibson and Claiborne County governments to carry out their emergency plans in resaonse to an emergency at GGNS. These local governments have indi-cated that tie.present distribution of tax revenues does not provide sufficient funds to implement the plans. Unt" the agreement is implemented, Entergy Operations, Inc., the licensee for GGNS, has developed back up emergency plans to be implemented by the State government.
SHOREHAM The staff was advised by LILCO that Governor Cuomo toured the Shoreham plant on June 28, 1990. After the tour, a press conference was held. LILCO plans to announce a joint filing (with LIPA) of an application to the NRC for trans-fer of a Defueled Operating License from LILCO to LIPA. The staff's review of LILCO's application for converting the Shoreham full power license to a de-fueled operating license is in progress.
NRC/ Maine Yankee Meeting A meeting was held on June 25, 1990 to discuss the Maine Yankee control element assemblies (CEA) failure.
In the morning, Maine Yankee discussed ongoing investigation, root cause analysis, test results and adequacy of the older Combustion Engineering (CE) design as the CEA's approach End of Life. Maine I

L lV l-l Yankee showed that for Cycle 12, only one CEA of the old design will be used and that CEA has not had previous exposure. The staff is notifying Maine Yankee 4
by letter that we have no problems with the proposed startup.
In the afternoon, the CE Regulatory Response Group (RRG) presented the generic-l status of control rods in CE plants.
Evidence was presented to demonstrate that the failure experienced in Maine Yankee was a problem only for that type of design at ex)osure levels attained after several operating cycles. The design is now ossolete and potential near term problem plants, currently opera-ting with these control rods at advanced exposure, are limited to St. Lucie 1, r
Calve-t C'iffs 2, and Millstone-2.
Discharge of the high exposure control rods at the next refueling was proposed for each of these plants. However, the staff is not comfortable with the assurance provided that no failures are likely during the continued operation (2 years for Calvert Cliffs 2, 15 months for 4.
St. Lucie 1, and 3 months for Millstone 2). The staff action plan, possibly requiring periodic rod insertion testing, is under review.
P ocurement Issues Discussed at Region III Licensee Conference l
On June 25-26, 1990, the Vendor Inspection Branch Chief of NRR participated in the Region III Licensee Conference as a co-facilitator in a breakout session on Procurement and Comercial-Grade Dedication. The session was attended by approximately 30 persons, including 3 plant managers. There was general con-sensus among all session attendees on the need for up-front planning in the procurement process to include engineering involvement in procurement specifi-cations, receipt and dedication tests and analysis. Much discussion was focused on the methods of identification and ratification of critical charac-teristics in the procurement and dedication process.
Use of PRA to Evaluate Tech Specs A member.of the Technical Specifications Branch (OTSB) in NRR and Dr. Bahman Atefi of SAIC, a consultant to OTSB, attended an IAEA conference in Vienna, Austria on "The Use of Probabilistic Safety Analysis to Evaluate Nuclear Power Plants' Technical Specifications". The conference was held from June 1B to-June 22 1990. Two representatives from EPRI were the only other representa-tives.from the United States. The conference was attended by delegates from 19 countries.
There appears to be considerable interest in the use of probabi-listic risk assessment in many countries and although it was generally agreed that there are some problems to be solved, it'was also the consensus of those present at the conference that these problems can be. solved and that the use of Technical Specifications based on risk have the potential to improve both safety and plant availability.
Some countries, especially the U.K. and Finland, already have advanced programs.
Issuance of Generic Letter 90-05 on Temporary Repairs (EMCB) 1 On June 15, 1990, NRR issued Generic Letter 90-05, entitled " Guidance for Per-forming Temporary Non-Code Repair of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 Piping."
Section XI of the ASME Code specifies code-acceptable repair methods for flaws that exceed code acceptance limits in piping that is in service. A code repair is required to restore the structural integrity of flawed ASME Code piping.
t Those repairs not in compliance with Section XI are non-code repairs. However, JUNE 29, 1990 ENCLOSURE A
3 the required code repair may be impractical for a flew detected during plant operation unless the facility is shut down. As stated in. Generic Letter 90-05, the staff continues to find temporary non-code repairs of Code Class 1, 2, and 3 piping unacceptable without specific written relief granted by the NRC, However, Generic Letter 90-05 provides guidance that will be considered by the staff in evaluating relief requests submitted by licensees for temporary non-code repairs of Code Class 3 piping.
On June 20, 1990, the staff was notified
<. a service water system piping at Hope Creek. A pinhole leak war
, a 30-ih.h diameter epoxy-lined carbon steel Class 3 piping.
cryice Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) proposed to perform a ten, jair according to the gui-dance in Generic Letter 90-05. Thus, Hoi.....
became the first plant to utilize the guidance in Generic Letter 90-0:i.
ihe staff is reviewing PSE8G's proposal and has requested additional information addressing the structural integrity, inspectability, and the consequence of a failure of the repair.
PSE&G will submit a request for relief from code repair.

Some radiograph test results are missing or are of )oor quality, while other radiographs show indications which require furt1er evaluation. The licensee's Quality Assurance department is in the process of determining what additional testing, if-any, is required for the welds in question.
Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (NFS)
On June 21, 1990, NFS personnel met with. staff from the Offices of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and General Counsel to discuss the requirements for financial assurance for decommissioning, as required by the recently-promulgated 10 CFR Part 70.25. A pre-existing escrow account will satisfy the requirements for a certification of financial assurance for decommissioning.
Allied-Signal, Inc. - UF Release y
On June 18, 1990, Allied-Signal reported a release of uranium hexafluoride (UFg) from a pigtail assembly of the sampling system at their UF, conversion facility in Metropolis, Illinois. The licensee suspects that the pTgtail-assembly was
-blocked due to the formation of uranyl fluoride. The release began during removal of the blockage. Although some material was transferred to the outside through an exhaust fan, the incident did not result in an offsite release of uranium. On June 19-20, 1990, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and Region III staff were dispatched to the facility to review the incident.
The licensee is evaluating an inline sampler which would eliminate use of the pigtail assembly.
Advanced Nuclear Fuels, Inc. (ANF) - Decr.mmissioning Funding Plan On June 27, 1990, staff from the Offices of Nuclear Material Safety and
. Safeguards and General Counsel met with representatives of ANF to discuss the NRC staff comments on ANF's draft decommissioning funding plan.
In accordance l
with the decommissioning funding rule, ANF plans to submit the plan to NRC on or before July 27, 1990.

Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Items of Interest Week Ending June 29, 1990 Division of Engineering International Rock Mechanics Meetings in Loen, Norway From June 4 through June 8, 1990, Dr. John D. Randall of RES/DE/WMB was in Loen, Norway participating in three meetings on rock mechanics: a Rock Joints Conference, a Workshop on Scale Effects in Rock Masses and a meeting on-DECOVALEX (a prospective effort to test the validity of mathematical models of the interactions of heat, mechanical loading, and groundwater flow in rock masses near emplaced high-level radioactive waste).
The Rock Joints Conference, organized by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, had sections on characterization, mechanical properties, hydraulic properties, dynamic properMes, coupled behavior, and constitutive models. The papers presented concerned both fundamental rock-mechanical issues in these areas and applications including HLW disposal. Papers applicable to HLW disposal were presented on shear behavior of. joints in welded tuff, shear strength of. rock joints in granite, the effects of rock stresses on the opening and closing of fractures through which groundwater and radionuclides can move, characterization of fracture apertures, and thermomechanical effects on groundwater flow.
The Workshop on Scale Effects on Rock Masses, organized by the Portuguese National Civil Engineering Laboratory, had sections on scale effects in the determination of deformability and-strength of intact rock and joints, deformability and strength of rock masses, and internal stresses in rock masses.
Scale effects on hydrogeological characteristics also received some attention in the section on internal stresses in rock masses.
The meeting on DECOVALEX had representatives from NRC, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for DOE, Sweden's Nuclear Power Inspectorate, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Professor Owe Stephansson of Lulea University of Technology in Sweden convened the meeting to find out if there is sufficient international.
interest to carry out DECOVALEX as an international. project similar to INTRAVAL
-(in-kind contributions), the highly successful international effort on radio-nuclide transport model validation that SKI manages and coordinates.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 SLC Outside the Design Bases On June 22, 1990, during a telephone conference call, Nine Mile Point, Unit No. 2 notified Region I'and. headquarters that certain aspects of the standby-liquid control system did not meet the design criteria as stated
'in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. The condition was identified during a snubber reduction review of the pi>ing systems. The architect-engineer, Stone and' Webster, used methods tint were essentially less conservative-than those described in the FSAR.
Specifically:
l 1.
Some highly stressed components were qualified using allowable stress values based on the certified material test report values.
2.
The outboard containment isolation valves contain eccentric loads that were not properly modelled.
3.
The stress intensification factors for socket welded end preparations were not included in the analysis.
'4.
The seismic analysis by the independent support motion method in conjunction with ASME code case N-411 was used in lieu-of the envelope response method.
The licensee made independent calculations to determine that the system meets interim operability' criteria. These criteria will be reviewed by NRR to determine acceptability. The licensee is also sending an o) era-bility-statement, due to the region on June 26, 1990, describing tie rationale for continued operation and their basis for confidence that other plant systems can meet the interim criteria or' design basis.
The licensee requested an extension, to June.29 or sooner, to the due date for their letter which will describe their rationale for continued operation. -The licensee stated they needed more time to address the broader issues that.will form the basis for the operability statement.
The' licensee proposed to:
1.
Provide us the operability statement letter by Friday or sooner.
'2.
Provide the scope of the review that will be required and the root cause by the end of the following week.
3.
Provide the corrective action program the succeeding week.
The licensee stated emphatically that the issues did not represent an immediate threat to the operation of the plant.

,e and Mr., Jerry Roth, Project Engineer, will tour the UNC-Naval Products facility to obtain general site orientation and information concerning the fabrication of fuel bearing components for_the United States Navy nuclear propulsion program. UNC management recently announced plans to shut'down the facility over-the next two years as a result of Department'of Defense budget limitations.,

Seabrook At 12:24 a.m., June 27, the generator was placed on the grid. The operators had steam generator level control problems while shifting feedwater flow from the bypass valves to the feed-reg valves, but were able to-do so without initiating a reactor protection signal. This was the first such problem at Seabrook after the last startup, a time constant in the feedwater regulating control system was changed to provide better level control above 305 power, based on a Westinghouse recommendation.
The licensee is considering using the old time constant for startup and changing it for higher power operation.
Power was held at'270 MWe (26.2%) for review of neutral ground line recorded data.
It was concluded that the 180 Hz ground fault relay, which initiated the June 21' scram, may have.to be permanently deactivated due to the main generator neutral ground line having one-third the expected 180 Hz voltage content. That relay is currently deactivated, with its neutral
-ground line potential transformer secondary winding separately instrumented and recorded. A similar experience lead Northeast Utilities to disconnect-the corresponding relay on Millstone 1 and 2 and omit it from Unit 3..The 60-Hz fault protective relay remains operable, but-cannot detect grounds in the lower voltage portions of the generator armature.
-Power ascension to 67% for' core physics checks is in progress (at 5%/ hour to 50% power and 3%/ hour above 50%, for fuel conditioning).-

Perry Nuclear Power Plant On June 24, 1990s while performing a main steam isolation valve (MSIV) slow closure surveillance, the control room operators exceeded the licensed core thermal power of 100 percent. Tha test equipment malfunctioned and the operator closed the MSIV.more than 10 percent.which resulted in increased reactor pressure and core thermal power. Reactor Power exceeded the licensed limit of 100 percent. The operator immediately opened the MSIV after receiving control room indication of increased reactor power.

i The control. room supervision was not aware of the potential seriousness i
lof the event, and no immediate investigation was begun. Due to the delay in the initiation of licensee's investigation Emergency Response Information System (ERIS) data was lost. A licensee worst case reactor engineering analysis determined that core thermal power could have reached 105.1 percent for less than two seconds during the event.-
g A regional reactor physics specialist, who was on site' performing a engineering inspection at the time of the event, and the resident inspector, are fo1VJwing up on the event. Preliminary indications are that control room operator actions during the event were appropriate but licensee followup was weak.

Unintentional Overexposure of infant's Thyroid On June 27,1990, Tripler Army Medical Center reported to Region V that an.
infant (8 pounds)hadreceived 7500 - 7800 rads to its thyroid.
The mother was administered 4.89 m1111 curies of iodine-131 for a diagnostic whole body scan on June 19,1990. Although she was not instructed to stop breast feeding, she was concerned about the situation and did not feed her infant until 9:00 p.m. that evening.
s.
4 When she returned to Tripler on June 21, 1990, and was scanned, it was discovered that the todine had concentrated in her breasts; there was no thyroid uptake because of previous thyroid disease. The concentration of iodine-131 in the milk was found to be 0.48 microcuries per milliliter.
The infant's intake was estimated at 900 - 1000 milliliters of milk'per day. A literature search.by the Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) indicated that a 1 microcurie intake'in a newborn would cause a 16 rad dose. 'Hence, the PP0 estimated a thyroid dose of approximately 7680 rads.
A scan of the infant's thyroid indicated a significant uptake of iodine.
Region V and.NMSS have been in contact with a medical consultant from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory REACTS Group. Region-V is dispatching a Radiation Specialist inspector to investigate the incident.
