-4 REPORT OF NMSS 1989 NATIONAL PROGRAM REVIEW AT NRC REGION I, KING 0F PRUSSIA, MARCH 9-10, 1989 1.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This report provides the results of the Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards review of 1988 programs under the Headquarters responsibility of NMSS as related to Region I and under the responsibility of NRC Region I.
The Headquarters Team participating in this review was comprised of individuals from each of the four elements of NMSS that are involved in Regional activities.
The NMSS Team is shown on Attachment 1.
The principal Regional activities are primarily under the responsibility of the Region I Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards (DRSS).
The DRSS Division organization chart is shown on Attachment 2.
The National Program Review Manual dated December 11, 1987 was the basis for the review.
Region I responses to a Headquarters questionnaire dated February 6, 1989 are provided as Attachment 3.
1 The National Program Review is based not only on the visit to the Region but on the collective Regional / Headquarters interfaces throughout the year, through review of licensing casework and inspection reports, accompaniments of Region-based inspectors, review of casework and inspection statistics, resource utilization, technical assistance and coordination, and the questionnaire.
The review is intended to provide a review of effectiveness of both the Regional and Headquarters activities insofar as they relate to Region I activities and to identify suggestions for improving the' effectiveness of the joint efforts of NMSS and Region I.
The emphasis relates to achieving two elements:
the numerical goals for casework and inspection as well as the quality of the efforts, on the basis that both elements contribute towards assuring the safety of operations involving NRC licensed activities.
i The report is organized so as to present an integrated summary in each of the following areas:

Recommendations / Suggestions 2.
LICENSING a.
Materials Safety In FY88, the Region completed 100 percent and 105 percent of budgeted licensing actions for both new licenses and amended licenses and 66 percent of the budgeted renewal licenses.
In total, the Region completed 94 percent of their budgeted license casework.
It appears that the shortfall of completion of renewals was caused by temporary factors such as having new reviewers who were being trained assigned to work on renewals who were less efficient, and a large number of renewals started in FY88 were not completed until FY89.
It should be noted that Region I is about 14 percent ahead of its Operating Plan goal for FY89 casework.
Region I has made an extensive effort to cross-train their licensing reviewers and inspectors into a single team.
This is extremely helpful if an individual is sick, injured, or on maternity leave in that it allows employees to return to work part-time to perform licensing issues.
Region I has now operated under their new reorganization for one year.
To some extent it has allowed Section Chiefs and senior staff members to focus their attention on narrower issues.
However, a disadvantage may be that leas senior staff members are gaining less experience in some areas than in the past.
Also, currently the Section Chiefs seem to be overloaded.
2 a
u One estimated that each Section Chief spends about 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> of overtime per week.
The Regional management should strive to identify ways to alleviate this problem.
Overall the new reorganization appears to be performing well.
There appears to be a healthy team approach in that the sec+ ions are willing to help each other as needed.
A select number of Region I licensees' cases were reviewed against NRC Regulations and Standard Review Plans.
The cases are complete, no errors noted.
The extra effort to assure that newly licensed nuclear cardiology companies are prepared to fully comply with their license upon issuance is commendable.
This required a significant use of staff resources, but should result in better licensee compliance in the future.
A small sampling of docke'. files showed that the files were maintained well.
Routing and control of docket files is similar to that of Region IV.
Region I has -:' excellent system for tracking the status of licensing actions and inspections.
b.
Safeguards Licensing The Region I staff maintains a complete set of Regional Guidance Documents and Standard Review Plans related to 10 CFR 70.32 reviews for the technical guidance of license case reviewers.
The documents are up-to-date and consistent with NRC guidance and policy.
The case reviews were technically complete and performed in a sound manner.
Region I achieved a very good average case turnaround time of 38 days in FY88.
Region I completed seven licensing case reviews versus the eight projected completions in FY88 and have completed two reviews versus one receipt in the first quarter of FY89.
Region I utilizes the NMSS Operating Plans Casework Statistic Report #41 to keep Headquarters informed of licensing casework status on a monthly basis.

INSPECTIONS i
a.
Materials Inspections In FY88, 1162 materials safety inspections were completed, which is 97 percent of the annual goal.
Recently available statistics reveal that, through February 1989, 445 inspections were completed, 99 percent of the goal at that time.
Headquarters review of about 60 inspection letters indicated no problems with the quality and documentation of inspections.
Overall, internal communications in the Region is good, and the inspectors were well informed of Regional goals and generic issues such as performance evaluation factors and enhanced medical inspections.
Some staff members did suggest that Branch staff meetings should be held periodically to discuss issues between sections, instead of just within sections.
The Region had not emphasized the use of performance evaluation factors by all inspectors yet, but is planning to shortly.
There were two notable improvements over 1988.
Section leaders are accompanying inspectors at least once per year, and there is close monitoring of overdue inspections.
Some Region I inspectors are apparently not documenting some Severity Level V violations.
The Regional staff plans to correct this, b.
Fuel Facility Inspections The Effluents Radiation Protection Section of the Facilities Radiological Safety and Safeguards Branch has the primary responsibility for the fuel cycle inspection program while NMSS Section 8 inspects other source material licensees.
During FY88 the fuel cycle inspection program was 4
effectively completed.
To date for FY89 the program is on target in all areas except for health physics.
Because of higher priorities (maintenance team inspections, reactor core inspections, reactive inspections, etc.) no fuel cycle health physics inspections have been performed in FY89 yet.
The Region staff stated that resources will be made available in FY89 to complete the required fuel cycle health physics inspections.
NMSS licensing staff members participated in several fuel cycle inspections during the past year and found the inspectors to be conscientious and thorough and well prepared for the inspections.
In addition, the inspections were complete and consistent wita NRC policy and guidance.
Both the Region and NMSS consider the NMSS participation to be beneficial and worthwhile.
A review of several inspection reports determined that the reports generally communicated well the results of the inspections and were in accordance with Manual Chapter 0610.
However, the 21 calendar day goal for issuing inspection reports after the last day of the inspection was not met on one of the inspection reports reviewed.
c.
Transportation Safety During FY88, Region I has continued to inspect transportation activities at materials licensees and fuel facilities using module 86740.
Three hundred and twenty-four inspections of 86740 were performed on materials licensees (as opposed to 322 in FY87).
All of the fuel facilities transportation activities were inspected at least once (eight total inspections) in the 2600 program, since March, 1988.
Section Chiefs in all program areas were noted to have accompanied most inspectors at least one time.
Inspection reports and NOV's distributed from the RIOS system have been reviewed by Headquarters on an ongoing basis in all three programs and have been noted to be generally thorough in all program areas.
A number of completed materials inspection field notes were examined in the Region I files.
The formats used for inspections since late 1988 were noted to be new formats which are consistent with the Inspection Manual.
5 l
l
In the reactor inspection program, transportation inspections are being performed by a radiation specialist in the Effluents Radiation Protection Section of the Facilities Radiological Safety and Safeguards Branch.
With the one vacancy created therein by the recent resignation of the one other transportation /radwaste inspection " specialist," current inspections in that section are being done by J. Furia, who is very highly regarded for his competence in this area.
Present planning calls for his doing the Core Inspection Program (0.8 FTE) at all facilities on the SALP cycle basis, devoting about 16-20 on-site hours (for transportation and solid waste).
Region I feels that the CIP had impacted this effort to the extent that to do a thorough job, they used to spend 30-35 hours in these areas.
In FY88, Region I was not able to complete an inspection of each site against the basic module 86721, due to lack of resources.
In FY89, however, Region I has already completed the transportation part of the CIP at 10 sites (14 units), putting them in very good shape at this point in the FY.
d.
Low-Level Waste Inspections The Region I low-level waste inspection program was reviewed in the reactor, fuel cycle, and materials areas.
The review consisted of examination of information contained in the 766 data system, evaluation of inspection reports, and Region file information on selected inspections and detailed discussion with Region I staff.
The inspection reports in all program areas completed for inspection conducted in FY88 are clear, well-written, technically accurate, and have been issued on a timely basis.
The Regional policy and practice regarding accompaniments is sound and the number of supervisory accompaniments exceeds recommended guidance in the manual chapter.
The Region is exceeding the schedule for implementing the New Core Inspection Program for reactors in the LLW area and has also applied the supplemental procedure, 84850, as part of most inspections. At the current rate of inspections, all plants will be inspected before the end of FY89.
6
e.
Safeguards Inspections Region I inspection reports were clear and prepared in a technically sound manner.
A member of the Division of Safeguards and Transportation staff accompanied the Region I inspector on physical security inspections of UNC Naval Products, Montville, CT, from March 14 to March 18 and September 21 to September 25, 1988.
These inspections were conducted in a thorough and technically competent manner.
The Region I inspection reports are completed within a 20 day timeframe established by Regional policy and submitted to Headquarters in a timely manner.
Inspection reports are tracked by the Inspection Report Tracking System which keeps the inspector informed of 1
his deadline and is also included in the weekly report to the Regional Administrator.
Region I performed three inspections of the UNC facility and completed the two semi-annual requirements of Manual Chapter 2681.
These timeframes had been coordinated with NMSS Headquarters and agreed to.
For FY89, one inspection of the UNC Montville facility has been performed and the semi-annual requirements of MC 2681 completed.
A schedule for the remainder of FY89 has been submitted to Headquarters which will have one team inspection comprised of three Regional inspectors in the third quarter of FY89 and one final inspection in the fourth quarter of FY89.
Region I should train an alternate inspector as a backup to the Category I. facility.
It is understood that the Safeguards section leader plans to do this as soon as he has the available staff.
On February 15, 1989, the MC&A inspection function was transferred to Headquarters.
Region I staff provided valuable assistance and needed expertise during this transfer process.
A Regional MC&A inspector assisted in three team inspections with Headquarters personnel in the first quarter of FY89.
In addition, licensing assistance was provided on a team visit with Headquarters staff at Picatinny Arsenal on June 15 and 16, 1988.
7
7-Region I performed one transportation safeguards inspection versus the two scheduled for FY88.
One inspection was cancelled because the shipment was postponed.
For FY89 two transportation inspections are projected and two have been scheduled.
There were no requests from Headquarters for route surveys in FY88 nor in the first quarter of FY89.
4.
TRAINING The Region is aggressively pursuing training of all technical staff in both licensing and inspection.
The training procedures were well organized and clearly documented.
The goal is to qualify all staff for licensing and inspection in all areas.
The IDP is being used extensively in Region I.
Region I has a good qualification journal for materials employees.
A need for transportation course training was identified for two current materials inspectors and the three vacancies which are expected to be filled in the NMS Branch this year.
Region I sent six persons (two materials inspector and four Effluents Rad Protection Section inspectors) to the three-day course at TTC in October 1988).
The Region has a positive approach to training of inspectors in the area of low-level waste and all inspectors currently doing inspections in this area have received training.
Two new people and the three hires coming on board should be provided training on low-level waste.
All the Safeguards section inspectors are attending the technology transfer courses at Sandia National Laboratories sponsored by NMSS.
NHSS should lay groundwork for j
educating Regional staff on new regulations; e.g., Part 35, prior to the regulation becoming effective.
Region I has had one training session conducted by the Regional enforcement specialist regarding the new enforcement policy.
Several of the materials inspectors interviewed said that they had not attended that session due to travel, nor had they received any information on the policy from their supervisors.
It is suggested that i
this enforcement policy training be repeated.
8
5.
REGION I INITIATIVES a.
The Region I realignment of the materials program, creating three sections responsible for licensing and inspection for specific categories of facilities, coupled with a fourth administrative section, is recognized as a very positive initiative.
It has helped to improve accountability and timeliness of the many licensing and inspection actions in the Region.
Some continuing attention is needed in that the turnaround time of 50 days for inspection reports for first quarter of FY89 is still not up to the Region I goal of less than thirty days, but much better than the 100 days of first quarter of FY88.
b.
The Region I workshops with medical and irradiator licensees have been useful and they are being continued.
c.
The Regional enhanced focus on unauthorized sale or transfer of licensed operations is commendable, d.
The Regional response during incidents or large enforcement problems such as the 3M and U.S. Testing cases has been particularly noteworthy, and its continued timely actions when radioactive sources are lost or when involved in transportation incidents, is commendable.
The Region I work on human factors in the medical area is noteworthy e.
and should continue, as this may have broader rewards in reducing future problems.
f.
The region is commended for its intensive enforcement in the case of a major fuel cycle facility and for introducing a SALP to provide the documentation of the licensee's attitude problem.
The Region has also assigned a second fuel cycle facility inspector to provide the needed support and backup strength in this area.
g.
The Region I intensive inspection effort since October 1988 is commendable.
They completed the transportation part of the CIP at 10 sites (14 units).
9 8
m
.i i
h.
The Region is commended for its intensive inspection effort to implement the New Core Inspection Program for reactors in the LLW area ahead of schedule and in also applying the Supplemental Module 84850 as a part of those inspections, i
6.
NMSS/ REGION I INTERACTION Interaction between Headquarters and the Region has been very good.
The counterpart meetings and workshops and inspection accompaniments scheduled during FY89 should foster this interaction.
Region I has made many excellent generic contr @utions to the national program in the materials safety r.rea.
Even greater use should be made of Region I expertise in developir.g such contributions.
However, this process could be more effective throrgh more complete understanding of NHSS and Region I views and approaches on some key matters, particularly in the medical area.
It was suggested that a meeting of staffs to review issues could help to improve this nistual understanding and thereby contribute more to the strength of the national program.
In general, communications have been good between Headquarters and the Region in the fuel cycle area; however, an opinion was expressed that on a least one occasion Headque' ers project management action had been taken without consultation with the Region.
More communication between the Region I and the Headquarters Safeguards staff is needed on problems, issues, guidance to the licensee and licensing case reviews.
Region I recommends that:
They have more verbal communication with the NMSS Safeguards reviewer on a consistent basis 10
~
They be placed on all distribution on memos, letters and guidance sent to the licensee.
More lead-time for notifications of meetings be provided.
If possible, the Region would like to have at least three weeks notice so their inspection schedules could be adjusted.
The Section Chief of the Safeguards Section be added to the distribution list of all transportation Safeguards material sent to Region I.
Written guidance be provided to UNC Montville regarding the use of the Safeguards classification on documents.
Consideration should be given tc establishing a monthly conference call in order to discuss gener1C issues for Category I facilities.
7.
RESOURCE UTILIZATION The attached table shows FTE allocations and expenditures for the review period.
Region I has no program support funds in the NMSS mission areas.
The Regional fuel facility safety and safeguards staffing aligns with the budget considering the two FTE of support received from the Facilities Radiation Protection Section (FRPS) and the Safeguards Section (SS).
Materials licensing and inspection staffing aligns with the budget with one exception.
The Region I staffing plan contains an NMSS funded Licensing Assistant position (one FTE) which is vacant.
This position has been vacant for about a year and the Region is not actively pursuing filling the vacancy.
The decision not to fill the position is a Regional decision and not one made by the Office of Personnel.
11
Overall resource expenditures for FY88 were below projections.
FY88 materials licensing expenditures equaled the budget.
Materials inspection expenditures for FY88 were below budget due to utilization of resources for event evaluation which was unbudgeted and due to diversion of resources to retraining, injury and maternity leave and the move of the Regional office.
For the first quarter of FY89, materials licensing expenditures exceeded projections and materials inspection expenditures were less than projected.
This diversion is continuing in FY89; technical staff members are performing tasks such as preparing inspection documents for mailing which are normally done by the Licen;ing Assistance Section.
Event evaluation expenditures were below budget.
Materials licensing expenditures exceed the budget due to the Region's initiative to qualify employees as inspectors and license reviewers.
1 For FY88, fuel facility safety inspection expenditures were below budget; however, all inspection activities specified in MC 2600 and appropriate West Valley activities were completed.
For the first quarter of FY89, expenditures were under budget. While the Region has a plan to fully utilize skills from the other sections in the branch (FRPS and SS), we are concerned about the short staffing in these sections and the potential diversion of FTE from fuel facility inspections to reactor inspections.
For FY88, safeguards fuel facility licensing and inspection resources were below budget due to staffing vacancies and unqualified inspectors.
For FY89, the safeguards expenditures are in line with budgeted projections.
Limited decommissioning resources are being expended for training on the new rule; however, no cases have been received for processing to date.
Region I completed 1162 materials inspections in FY88 versus a goal of 1193 (97 percent) with less than budgeted resources.
Recently available statistics reveal that, through February 1989, 445 inspections were completed, 99 percent of the goal at that time.
12
~l
The Region completed 1596 materials licensing cases in FY88 versus a goal of 1700 (94 percent).
The shortfall in complethns resulted principally from the fact that reviewers-in-training were assigned to work on renewals and their effort exceeded the budgeted labor rate.
During the first five months of FY89, Region I completed 715 materials licensing cases versus a-goal of 601 (119 percent).
As mentioned above, this is due to the fact that there are currently a lot of reviewers / inspectors being qualified, and the qualification program includes a requirement to complete a specified number of licensing cases.
The materials staff thought they may benefit from having access to additional personal computers.
The Division of Resource Management and Administration (DRMA) is currently in the process of providing two PC's.
The Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards should discuss additional needs with DRMA so they can be considered during the Agency's upcoming mid year financial review.
We recommend that Region I consider the staffing plan vacancy for a licensing assistant and their continued diversion of technical staff to perform nontechnical duties.
8.
RECOMMENDATIONS i
NMSS recommended that the Region place greater emphasis on the implementation of Performance Evaluation Factors by all Region I materials inspectors.
Region I recommended that agreed upon assignments made during weekly materials conference calls should be documented by HMSS.
Region I recommended that Navy and Air Force participation in materials workshops be restricted to a time when internal NRC matters would not j
be discussed.
13 1
Region I recommended establishing a manual of licensing guidance based on an integration of existing fuel cycle directives, and have this prepared as a computer accessible database.
Region I recommended establishing a master list of field offices of multisite broad licenses such as radiography and other companies, and that a system of assisting inspections be arranged, similar to the military broad licensees.
NMSS recommended that Region I review the FY89 planned HP support in the fuel facility area to ensure its adequacy.
NMSS recommended that Region I consider obtaining a few more personal computers during the upcoming mid year review.
NMSS recommended that Region I should decide how the resource, associated with the vacant materials licensing assistant position will be utilized.
Region I recommended improvements by NMSS in communications regarding safeguards.
NMSS recommended additional Region I staff training on the enforcement policy in the transportation area and the effect the enforcement policy changes have on the inspections.
NMSS recommended that an additional inspector should be trained as a backup in the safeguards area for Category 1 facilities.

The attached material is in response to Question No. 1 STAFFING AND DIVISION OF WORK A copy of the current NMSB staffing plan is attached.
As in the past, the Region I materials technical staff member typically performs both inspections and license reviews.
The only exceptions involve those staff members who, because of pregnancy or disability, were only available for limited travel.
Two staf f members (Taylor and Schulingkamp) were pregnant or on maternity leave during FY88-89. One staff member (Darden) was injured in a fall at the of fice in June 1988 and has not yet been released to resume travel assignments.
Thus, each of them has concentrated on licensing work for the past several months, including half time work by Taylor and Schulingkamp while on maternity leave.
Ms. Taylor has now r?sumed performing inspections. Ms. Schulingkamp returned to full time tuty on March 6, 1989.
The actual percentage of time spent by individuals on licensing ve.' sus inspection varies depending on a number of factors, including workload, incidents, etc. As shown in the attachment, for the NMSB in FY89 through Februa ry. 15, 1989, the ratio is about 2 FTE for inspection to 1 FTE for licensing.
Statistics for individuals in the Branch are also shown in the attachment.
Relative to the question on inspections of decommissioned facilities, we have only recently begun charging time to that RITS code and no meaningful data are available at this time.

w The attached materials are in response to Question No. 2 EXPENDITURES / ACCOMPLISHMENTS VERSUS THE BUDGET Included in the attachments are the following:
A printout from RITS for FY88 showing the expenditure of FTE by the NMSB A month-by-month chart showing the number of inspections completed (i.e., by issuance of 591 or inspection documentation) in FY88 and the average time required for issuance.
A month-by-month chart showing the number of licensing actions completed (i.e., by issuance of the license document) in FY88 and both the total backlog of actions and the backlog of news / amends.
The same documents as above for FY89 through February 15, 1989.
Productivity in FY 1988 for licensing and inspection was as follows:
t Licensing Completions
% vs. Budget New 221 100%
Amencments 1070 105%
Renewels 305 66%
1596 94%
The region used 8.24 FTE to accomplish materials licensing versus the budgeted 8.18 FTE.
The shortfall in completion of renewals resulted principally from the fact that reviewers-in-training were assigned to work on renewals and their effort exceeded the budgeted labor rate.
Further, a large number of renewals started in FY88 were not issued until FY89.
Inspections Completions
% vs. Budget 1136 95%
-i 7
m_.
-s
Question No. 2 2
During FY88 the region expended 12.78 FTE on the materials inspection program, a shortfall of 3.5 FTE.
However, about 1.7 FTE of technical resources had to be diverted to performing clerical duties during the year due to inability to fill two clerical vacancies. Other significant resource expenditures that prevented realization of the inspection goal included:
Relocation of the Region I office 0.3 FTE Radiation Technology trial 0.2 FTE Injury and maternity leave 0.4 FTE
=
Reorganization and retraining 1.0 FTE These diversions of resources total 3.6 FTE.
Considering the above, the NMSB believes the accomplishing of 95% of the budgeted inspections represents a significant achievement.

The following comments are in response to Question No. 3 WORKLOAD PROJECTIONS As usual, receipts of new materials license applications and for materials amendments to existing materials licenses have run behind projections during the first 5 months of FY89.
It is expected that receipts of applications will increase and the final workload will approximate those in the operating plan. Currently, completions for new licenses and amendments are running behind the operating plan, but ahead of receipts. We expect to complete the number of new licenses and amendments called for in the operating plan by September 30, 1989.
Total licensing actions completed in FY 89 will exceed i
projections by nearly 20%.
This will be the result of completing approximately 350 materials renewals, well in excess of the projected workload.
There are several reasons for this.
1.
A large amount of FTE was expended on materials renewals during the last 2 months of FY88, but the actions were not completed until FY89.
2.
Two employees on maternity leave were able to work.part time.
Because of timeliness requirements, their assignments were limited to review of renewal applications.
3.
For Health Physicists to fully meet the requirements for uie job, as set forth in the position description, it is necessary that the training of each employee include completion of a minimum of 30 renewal or new applications.
This training has required considerable expenditure of FTE on licensing reviews of renewal applications.
j Current projection based on completed inspections, indicate that approximately 1050 materials inspections will be completed during FY89.
This is very close to the projected workload and we do not propose any changes at this time. We anticipate full compliance with Manual Chapter 2800 once OMB clearance is received for the medical questionnaire.

FUEL FACILITIES AND POWER REACTOR TRANSPORTATION -- RESPONSE TO ENCLOSURE 3 1.
Fuel facilities, see W. Pasciak and J. Roth; for power reactor transportation see W. Pasciak.
Fuel facilities:
The current staffing plan is attached (#1),
4 FTE are assigned to the program.
Roth and Austin spend almost 100 % of their time on fuel facility inspections. The other 2 FTE are residing in the FRPS and Safeguards sections.
Requests are made of these sections for health physics (FRPS) and MC & A and securities inspections SS). No single individual is assioned to fuel facilities in these areas, bu(t inspectors are assigned on an availability basis.
The mechanism by which requests are made is the wish-list, a copy of which is attached (#2).
Power Reactors:
For FY-89 in the power reactor transportation area only core inspections are expected to be done, except for a few special cases.
In the past there were several individuals that did transportation inspections.
Since such that one individual in the ERPS section (Furiathe core program was initiated sig does most of the transportation work now. He is committed 80 % (0.8 FTE) to transportation inspections. The NHSS budget for transportation is about 0.4 FTE.
See the attached schedule (#3) for completed power reactor transportation inspections for FY-88 and FY-89
~~"
2.
See W. Pasciak.
Fuel facilities:
See attached schedules.
Expenditures for FY-88 were on target (#4).
For FY-89 we are on target in all areas (#5) exce)t health physics, which is badly falling behind.
The reason is that hig1er priorities are assigned to work such as Pilgrim and Shoreham startup, maintenance tea inspections and core activities than for routine fuel facility inspect!ons.
Elevation of such work to top priority mainly comes from upper level NRC Headquarters management. Also attached are the RITS system outputs foi fuel facility activities (#6).
Power Reactors:
In the area of transportation for FY-89 we are right on target, but it is expected that we will fall behind as the year goes on, mainly because of an unfilled vacancy.
For FY-88 about 60% of the facilities were inspected. As indicated by the attached schedule for FY-88, this occurred in all the areas (effluents, radwaste, confirmatory measurements, non-rad chemistry laboratory, non-rad chemistry operations and environmental done by ERPS.
60% were completed not because of an unce,rutilization of qua)lified staff, butOnly because of an inadequate number of staff FTE.
Regional management made a decision to spread the FTE evenly over all the areas rather than doing all the transportation work at the expense of the other areas.
3.
No, fuel facility staff budget is generally good except for possible increases needed in West Valley depending on how the progress goes there and what work needs to be done.
One change that should be made in the future is budgeting for NIST.
Right now there is nothing in the budget and about 0.4 FTE will be needed each year. Also, there may be some decommissioning work needed if licensees submit information in the next few months for Westinghouse and/or Wood River Junction.
4.
Administrative support is generally adequate.
However, the information system for retrieving 766 data does not allow useful retrieval of information.
Information should be tracked on RITS, but there are problems with that also.
For example, in the RITS system we are still loosing time charged against the MC 2600 program.
5.
Interaction with HQ is generally adequate, but some problems occasionally arise at the PM level. HQ needs to handle licensing issues more effectively and in a timely manner.
Because of many problems with existing licenses, there are repeated problems at the inspection level, some of which transcend to health and i
safety issues.
i 6.
License reviews is a HQ function. The main initiative has been getting another full-time employee in the fuel facility area (Austin).
In the power reactor transportation area there is no staffing available for initiatives.
7.
Iee W. Pasciak for reactor, J. Roth for fuel facilities.
Power reactors: An attached schedule (#3) indicates exactly what inspections have been done at power reactors. At power reactors our inspections are not against 86740 but 86721. As indicated above, we are performing transportation and waste requirement inspections in all core inspections. We have done 10 core inspections to date and find that it takes an average of about 16-20 on-site hours to do a decent job on transportation, 10 CFR 61, and solid radwaste aspects of the core at a single unit site.
The core has impacted this inspection area in that we used to spend about 30-35 hours in these areas. We can not look at things in the detail that we used to nor can we write as meaningful SALPS. At 16-20 hours we believe we are still doing an effective job, however.
Fuel facilities: Transportation inspections are routinely conductad annually at fuel facilities in Region I using the guidance contained in 86730.
10 CFR 61 inspections are also conducted annually in accordance with 84850.
Approximately eight inspections of licensee's transportation and 10 CFR 61 activities have been conducted at fuel facilities since the last program review.
Significant questionable practices were identified at the Combustion Engineering facility. We also have been following preparations by DOE at West Valley to transport additional spent fuel assemblies from West Valley to DOE Idaho.
