Provide a summary of actual expenditures and accomplishments as compared -
to operating plan / budgeted expenditures and accomplishments, for FY89 and FY90 to date.
See Enclosure 1 for tables and charts.
3.
Are there any changes needed in the estimate of workload projection (licensing actions and inspections conducted) for the current fiscal year?
If so, please provide your suggested changes with justification.
Are there any foreseeable barriers to completing inspection modules in
-j accordance with Manual Chapters 2600 and 2800?
Inspection Program - Expect to accomplish approximately 387 inspections.
This is consistent of Region II's operating plan.
No change in resources required.
Licensing Program - New applications and amendments are coming in at a rate which is less than projected if FY-90 OP Plan.

Based on projection of 586 receipts, but also expecting a slight increase in the rate-of receipt of amendment requests in the later part of FY (Region II experience); number of licensing actions for FY-90 should be reduced from 680 to 600.
Any additional resources therefore made available will be utilized in computerization, site reviews, more difficult cases, etc.
4.
Are regional administrative support functions performed in a timely manner? Are changes needed in the manner in which these support functions are performed.
If so, please be prepared to discuss the changes needed which would result in optimal administrative support for the programs.
3 Regional administrative support functions are performed in a timely manner.
This has been aided by the availability of personal computers which are used by some inspectors and some license reviewers to prepare agency correspondence.
We are still in the process of optimizing the utilization of existing computers.
Additional computers will result in a decrease in the time necessary for issuance of licensing actions and inspection reports.
5.
Please provide your comments on the programs for interaction of Headquarters with your Region.
Please. include your comments on the usefulness of the conference calls, licensing workshops, executive management seminars, inspection accompaniments, telephone calls can case reviews, technical assistance provided on a day-to-day basis, standard review plans, guides, etc.
Include your comments your suggestions and recommendations for modifications, changes, improvements, etc., in the interaction programs.
A.
Teleconferences NHSS teleconferences have been very useful in keeping the Region up-to-date on issues and changes.
Region II encourages continued use of periodic teleconferences in each NHSS area:
materials, fuel facilities, and safeguards.
B.
Licensing Workshops The past licensing worksnops have been particularly worthwhile.
They have been strongly supported by both headquarters and the Regions.
We recommend continuation of these workshops on at least an annual basis.
In future workshops, we recommend that headquarters and the host Region solicit agenda inputs several months is advance of the workshop date and allow Regions ample time to comment on the proposed agenda.
C.
Inspection Accompaniments The current level of headquarters participation in inspections is appropriate.
We appreciate and encourage active headquarters participation in our special team inspections, e.g.
nuclear criticality safety assessments, operational safety assessments, and safeguards team inspections.
D.
Ter.hnical Assistance Technical assistance to the Region has generally been good.
Of particular noteworthiness was the Division of Safeguards and Transportation's active role in evaluating transport cask integrity issues related to the transport of WESF capsules from the RSI-Decatur facilitJ.
4 One area for improvement is the timeliness of response to material's TARS.
One such request from Region II relating to the teletherapy unit maintenance submitted approximately nine months ago still remains unresolved.
E.
Special Case Interac:.,
During a complex ci m on intake monitoring at GE, which required inter-actions with IMS, HMSS very promptly provided technical review of the Regional evaluation.
Headquarters has provided prompt assistance in supporting Regional requests for contractor support in developing confirmatory survey plan for NFS pond and plutonium facility decommissioning.
Headquarters and Regions have for some time been working in unison in monitoring the NFS progress in pond decommissioning.
6.
Summarize regional initiatives to improve the quality of inspections and license reviews, particularly those aimed toward preventing licensee safety problems, or those aimed at licensees performing their transportation activities in a safe manner.
A.
Materials l.
Developed a proposed NRC Information Notice addressing safe use/ risks associated with Sr-90 opthamologic eye applicators.
2.
Developed a proposed set of inspection field notes for commercial irradiators based on RSI lessons learned.
3.
Recommended changing teletherapy inspection field notes to address maintenance activities and source exchanges.
4.
Revised MC 2810 concerning management of master licenses to reflect experiences gained in oversight of the U. S. Navy Broad License.
5.

9.
Conducted a team inspection at a major broad licensee (University of Virginia).
e 5
10.
Continued to monitor licensee action with respect to the Performance Improvement Plan at Metropolitano Hospital in San Juan, PR.
B.
Fuel Facilities 1.
Participated in and provided a speech on Operational Safety Assessments at the 1989 Annual Fuel Cycle Seminar.
2.
Developed a proposed NRC Information Notice addressing protective measures associated with hydraulic equipment based on industrial accidents at fuel facilities in Regions II and V.
3.
Currently is the process of upgrading Region II fuel facility Incident Response Plans and implementing procedures.
The Region II plan has been acce working group as the "model" pted by the NRC,s incident response or base plan.
4.
Region II plans to conduct an Operational Safety Assessment at GE in the Spring of 1990.
A Nuclear Criticality Safety Team inspection is planned at NFS and B&W-NNFD in FY 90.
5.
As a management tool, Region II has developed a fuel facility status reporting system.
The reporting system tracks inspection completion / status, allegations status, operational issues, and enforcement status.
The system promotes efficient use of assigned resources.
6.
Special Initiatives at Facilities (a) A Senior Radiation Specialist with strengths in radwaste, chemistry, radiological measurements and environmental monitoring was appointed to review and evaluate NFS decontamination and decommissioning operations.
(b) Region II continues to monitor closely the NNFD progress in improving their programs in the areas of radiological controls, criticality controls and self-assessment, resulting in improvements in these areas.
(c) Region II has implemented augmented monitoring of improvements in radiological controls at GE being implemented as a result of inspections during 1989.
Thus far, the licensee has improved contamination controls and worker intake monitoring.
7.
Other Initiatives (a) In view of the transfer of the MC&A function to headquarters, regional materials and fuel facilities program were reorganized.
Under the new organization, all materials licensing functions, academic, and medical programs are within the Nuclear Material Safety Section of
6 the NMSS Branch.
Fuel facilities, industrial and commercial users, and the Navy Broad License are assigned j
to the Radiation Safety Projects Section of the NMSS Branch.
(b) DRSS has reorganized functions within sections to assign all
- effluent, environmental, solid radwaste, and transportation functions in the Radiological Effluents and Chemistry Section.
Thus, there will be an integrated staff approach to evaluation of impacts from "back end" of the i
use of radioactive materials and potential impacts from i
radwaste burials, ponds, etc., at fuel facilities.
(c) DRSS has assigned the Section Chief, REC, the responsibility of monitoring and evaluating all technical issues for decontamination and decommissioning at fuel facilities.
C.
Safeguards (1) Currently developing an NRC Information Notice which addresses safeguards assessment problems associated with masking to CCTV pictures due to obstruction and barrier fabrics material.
(2) Developed a proposed NRC Information Notice relating to nuclear materials management with regard to "open transactions."
(3) Conducted safeguards team inspections at B&W-NNFD and NFS.
7.
Summarize the total number of inspections of transportation activities at MC 2800 program licensed facilities, including average staff hours per inspection and brief summary of most typically observed violations, including any escalated enforcement actions.
(Procedure 86740).
Summarize the number of referrals (from Regions II and V) which were processed by your region regarding enforcement action against licensee shippers in your regional who made errant shipments to either of the three commercial low level waste burial sites.
Summarize the completion status of the annual inspections of transportation activities at MC 2600 licensed fuel facilities and a brief summary of findings.
Describe whether transportation activities were included on any of the major team inspections of fuel facilities.
Summarize the completion status of inspections of transportation activities at MC 2500 (2515 & 2545) licensed reactor facilities.
(MC procedures 86721, 86740, or 83750).
Please provide your evaluation of whether Core Inspection Procedure 83750 has been adequate in providing sufficient effort in the inspection of transportation activities.
If possible, please provide a summary of the staff hours expeMed on transportation as a percent of the staff hours expended against vrocedure 83750.

Completion status of all inspections at fuel facilities is contained in the quarterly status reports (fuel facilities and research reactors).
Transportation activities were not included in any major team inspections of fuel facilities.
Module No. 83750 provides sufficient guidance to meet the goal of the procedure, which is to detect inspections of declining performance.
To assure improved emphasis in transportation and to integrate the "much end" of use of radioactive materials, DRSS has consolidated, liquid, gaseous and sold into REC inspections of radwaste disposal and transportation of radioactive materials.
Since the number of hours expended on the transportation aspects of 83750 are not tracked separately from the 83750 total hours, there is no method of accurately providing the number of hours spent during transportation reviews.
See Enclosure 5 for 2500 transportation inspection data.
8.
Provide a training summary for each inspector and reviewer in tabular form.
i a.
For each inspector, state which courses listed in Manual Chapter 1245 have been completed, when oral boards were completed, what types of inspections the inspector is certified for, and which courses were waived and the reason.
b.
For each license reviewer, state which courses listed in Manual Chapter 1245 have been completed, and which types of licenses the reviewer is authorized to sign.
Inspector and reviewer training summaries are provided in Enclosure 2.

Completion status of all inspections at fuel facilities is contained in the quarterly status reports (fuel facilities and research reactors).
Transportation activities were not included in any major team inspections of fuel facilities.
Module No. 83750 arovides sufficient guidance to meet the goal of the procedure, which 's to detect inspections of declining performance.
To assure improved emphasis in transportation and to integrate the "much end" of use of radioactive materials, DRSS has consolidated, liquid, gaseous
(
and sold into REC inspections of radwaste disposal and transportation of radioactive materials.
Since the number of hours expended on the transportation aspects of 83750 are not tracked separately from the 83750 total hours, there is no method of accurately providing the number of hours spent during transportation reviews.
See Enclosure 5 for 2500 transportation inspection data.
8.
Provide a training summary for each inspector and reviewer in tabular form.
a.
For each inspector, state which courses listed in Manual Chapter 1245 have been completed, when oral boards were completed, what types of inspections the inspector is certified for, and which courses were waived and the reason.
b.
For each license reviewer, state which courses listed in Manual Chapter 1245 have been completed, and which types of licenses the reviewer is authorized to sign.
Inspector and reviewer training summaries are provided in Enclosure 2.

t OE INPUT INTO NMSS NATIONAL PROGRAM REVIEW PROCESS 1.
What types and frequency of training is conducted by the regions in enforcement matters? Training for new employees and regional personnel?
How is enforcement guidance / instructions given out to regional personnel?
Has training been given especially on repetitive violations, enforcement discretion under V.G.1 and Severity Level V violation?
Enforcement training is conducted at multiple levels within Region II.
These are Regionwide, Division, Branch, and Section.
These training sessions are normally triggered by a change in policy or by a case that was handled either very well or improperly.
New employees receive instruction through reading of Regional Office Instructions, discussions with their Section Chief, and from their assigned sponsor (a senior inspector or reviewer).
Enforcement guidance / instruction is documented in Regional Office Instructions and Notices and in Branch Guidance Memoranda.
Both initial and followup training has been given on repetitive i
violations, enforcement discretions and Severity Level V violations.
A revised ROI - 903 on similar violation was issued on 2/22/90.
2.
Are repetitive violations being identified?

two years or the last inspection as the time frame in which to characterize a violation as "similar" or repetitive.
These are nomally discussed with the licensee during the closeout or in a followup telephone call from the Regional office after the inspection.
These are also discussed with the section chief by the inspector.
The DRSS Director and HMSS Branch Chief are also advised of the repeat violations.

How are repetitive violations being documented?
a.
Is there a paragraph in ' cover letter?
Standard boiler plate paragraph option is preparing?
b.
Are they identified in NOV as repeats?
c.
If other violations, is an enforcement conference held?
Safety significance?
Repetitive (similar) violations are documented in cover letters and in the Notice of Violation.
\\

It is Regional policy to review repetitive violations on a case-by-case basis.
Depending upon the safety significance of the issue (and whether it is the second or third occurrence), an enforcement panel will be held to determine whether an enforcement conference is appropriate for Severity Level IV or V violations which are similar.
The panel will make its decisions based on past performance, enforcement history, promptness of corrective action, and safety significance.
For materials cases an optional paragraph may be added to the standard boiler plate paragraphs concerning repeat violations which indicates that continued poor performance may result in escalated enforcement.
4.
When a violation is repeated a third time, what action should be taken?
The action to be taken for the third occurrence of a violation will be dictated by the safety significance.
Region II, however, always holds and enforcement pre-panel.
Enforcement tools available include:
a.
Enforcement Conference b.
Order c.
Confinnation of Action Letter d.
Civil Penalty e.
A combination of the above The last " materials" case which was reported a third time was in 1987 and involved Rappahanock Hospital (Virginia).
A civil penalty was issued in this case.
A recent Severity Level IV multiple repeat also occurred with a power reactor licensee (Vogtle) and resulted in a proposed imposition of civil penalty in the amount of $7,500.
5.
Have inspectors had cases of repeat violations since the new guidance issued by OE?
Yes.
The following facilities have had repeat violations since the new guidance was issued:
Vogtle, Duke Power Company sites (Oconee, Catawba, andMcGuire).
Regional guidance was issued on February 22, 1990, which "fonnalized" handling repeat violations.
6.
How have inspectors exercised discretion under V.G.1 during inspections of licensees?
Region II e anagement exercises ' discretion after the inspector returns from the inspection.
Inspectors are generally well versed on the five criteria specified in V.G.I.
The more sophisticated licensees are quick to discuss with the inspector the fact that a violation was identified and corrected by them once the item becomes a matter of discussion.
The less sophisicated licensees have not understood this i the past. We hope the recent NRC Information Notice on this subject wil: help them.

7.
When and for what types of violations are 591s being used?
Region II inspectors issue 591s to document clear inspections and inspections where Severity Level V violations were identified.
On occasion, after discussion with the Section Chief, inspectors have included Severity Level IV violations on the 591.
A revised Regional Office Instruction governing use of the 591 was issued on February 8, 1990.
8.
How are repetitive violations, non-cited violations, and open items tracked?
The method of tracking depends of the type of licensee.
For reactor and fuel facility licensees, the open items list is used for tracking.
For materials licensees, the inspection reports or 591, and/or field notes are used for tracking and are reviewed before an inspection as part of inspection preparation.
9.
If there is a tracking system, do inspectors preview output prior to inspection and closecut old violations and flag repeats?
Inspectors are instructed to review outstanding item lists and old inspection reports prior to an inspection.
The inspection plan which is approved b example.) y management addresses open items (see Attachment 1 as an The OIL is then updated to close the issue if appropriate corrective action was implemented by the licensee.
10.
Could OE have copy of tracking system output of example license?
Yes.
A copy of a tracking system used for fuel facilities is provided as.
Additional copies will be provided upon request or at the time of review.
11.
Who does audit on tracking systems to assure input by them?
The inspectors and section chiefs review open item lists for accuracy and due date.
The DRSS Director and HMSS Branch Chief also reviews open item listing to ensure timely response to open issues.
Items on the Division Action Item Tracking System and Branch Action Item Tracking System are reviewed at least monthly by the DRSS Director and the HMSS Branch Chief.
For fuel facilities and research reactors, status of open items are reported in the quarterly status report.
12.
How many Severity Level IV and V violations were disputed by the licensee during the current FY?
We are unaware of any Severity Level IVs and Vs that were disputed by licensees at the exit.
However, in written reply to our proposed NOVs some licensees have denied violations.
We do not have exact values for the number of violations disputed, but we estimate it to be between 8-10.

- 13. How many Severity Level IV and V violations were withdrawn during the current FY?
The exact value is not known, but it is estimated to be between 4 and 6.
The Region will research enforcement correspondence related to this issue and will have it available at the time of review.
