n FY-89 HIGHLIGHTS Significant Safety Accomplishments Denial and/or shutdown of Haterials Licensees Accurate Inspection, Ellis Fischel, Zacharts Mikros D.0., due to health and safety problems identified during the license review and inspection process.
Corrected health and safety deficiencies at approximately twenty materials licensees as a result of performance evaluation methods used as part of the inspection process.
Achieved an enhanced QA program at all Syncor Nuclear Pharmacies in the U.S. which should help reduce the potential of misadministrations.
Based on emergency response drill, met with Hallinckrodt Diagnostics management and discussed the licensee's Radiological Contingency Plan and reached agreement for them to update their plan early ir.1990.
Significant Reactive Efforts Responded to numerous materials related events requiring immediate action. Some examples are: Amoco 011 - damaged gauges from fire and explosion; Professional Services Inc., - lost moisture density gauge; HQS Inspection - overexposure to a radiographer; Timken Co. - damaged gauge due to molten steel spill; Certainteed Corp. - overexposure; Abbott-Northwestern Hospital - therapeutic misadministration; Luther Hospital - lost brachytherapy source; Indiana University School of Medicine - therapeutic misadministration; Glitsch Field Services -
overexposure; Cargill, Inc. - lost nuclear gauge; D. Cohen & Sons -
contaminated scrap metal; University of Cincinnati - contaminated Laboratory; South Bend Memorial Hospital - lost brachytherapy sources; Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Co. - lost nuclear gauges; St. Mary's Hospital -
unauthorized teletherapy service activities.
Team Inspection Efforts Conducted Participated in two special safeguards team inspections at Category I fuel facilities.
Conducted Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) at Combustion Engineering to review a reported uranium hexafluoride (HF) release.
Participated in team inspections of the University of Missouri and University of Michigan research reactors by the Region's materials, health physics and reactor inspection staff and HQ project managers.
t Conducted a
'm inspection with OSHA and EPA at Allied Signal Corporation.
Support for Headquarters Initiatives Participated in annual NMSS team appraisal of the materials and fuel facility program in Region II.
Participated in meetings with the st'ates of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio to discuss licensing issues pertaining to LLW.
Provided training assistance to the State of Iowa through conduct of a special materials inspection with a state inspector.
Accompanied Chairman Zech and a member of his staff to Purdue University.
Participated in an IAEA course on safety of industrial sources and devices with NMSS.
Participated in a Materials Incident Response Drill at Mallinckrodt, Inc. This was the first full participation materials drill with licensee involvement by the region and included activation of the IRC and participation by base and site teams.
NMSS Branch Chief acted as DRSS Division Director as rotation assignment in Region III. Also NMSS and Region III Section Chiefs participated in a five week rotational assignment.
Participated in emergency preparedness, materials licensing / inspection, reactor health physics and Division Directors counterpart meetings.
Provided support to NMSS on preparing a commission paper on the Performance Evaluation Factor (PEF) program.
Hosted a workshop on quality assurance with nuclear pharmacy licensees, radiopharmaceutical manufacturers and state pharmacy boards.
Hosted a public meeting in Hillsboro, MO on the expansion of Combustion Engineering's uranium fuel processing plant at Hematite, MO.
Participated in meetings in Gaithersburg, MD and Kansas City, M0 at NRC Agreement States sponsored courses.
Crected Master Activities Plan for fuel facilities to improve coordination of inspection program with NMSS.
Compiled information and status of all contaminated sites in Region III and worked with NMSS to plan resolution of them.
r FY-R9 RI1LLRTR FOR nRAPMR Granh Title-Nucienr Materini Safety STATUS REVIEW This program area consists of:
Budcet Actuni Materials Licensing 7.5 9.3 Materials Inspection / Event Response 16.5 14.5 Fuel Cycle Facility Insp/ Lie 3.3 1.3 The region expended 1.8 FTE (0.4 FTE on overtime) effort above budgeted on materials licensing to reduce backlog of cases pending review from over 500 to 289.
This effort was also needed to maintain turnaround time for completing actions to less than NRC goals.
The region expended 2 FTE less effort than budgeted for the materials inspection program due to starting fiscal year 4 FTE below budget in this area.
Through use of materiale licensing staff to-do inspections, overtime and one FTE from fuel facilities' budget, the deficit was reduced from 4 to 2 FTE by the end of the year.
Through an aggressive recruitment effort, the region now has on-board staff equal to budgeted staff.
The region expended 1.3 FTE direct inspection effort for fuel facilities versus 3.3 FTE budgeted.
The two deficit FTE were utilized for materials inspections, inspection of decommissioning sites, and laboratory support for sample analysis.
In an effort to reallign this FTE use to fit the budget, NHSS and the region agreed to only budget 2 FTE for fuel facilities and decommissioning sites in Fiscal Year 1990.
The region conducted 10 inspections at fuel facilities including a team inspection at Allied-Signal, Inc. and an augmented inspection team (AIT) at Combustion Engineering.
These inspections completed the required inspection modules and program planned at these facilities.
The region initiated training for a backup inspector for fuel facilities.
)
l The region performed 10 inspections of contaminated sites 1
undergoing decommissioning in the region in an effort to monitor progress and move the licensees toward final clean-up and release for unrestricted use.
i
Grnph Titin-Materinin Linennino Canen STATUS REVIEW The region was budgeted resources to complete only 1735 licensing cases.
However, the region received 1849 cases.
In an effort to complete review on all theso receipts and reduce the backlog of c
pending renewal cases, the region completed 2159 cases or 124% of the operating plan.
As a result, cases pending review dropped from over 500 to 289 during the year.
In the area of timeliness, the region completed review and issuance of new, amendment, and renewal actions recieved during the year in less than NRC goals (80% of cases less than 90 days old for news and amendments and 80% less than 180 days old for renewals).
Materials licensing reviewers were utilized to participate in several inspections and enforcement actions where corrective actions involved license amendments or were incorporated into license renewale.
Grnph Title-Mnten4 min Tnnpentinnn nnd C1nne-nntn STATUS REVIEW The operating plan for materials inspection completions was modified one time in June 1989 in an attempt to account for lack of on-board staff and time spent on escalated enforcement cases (20 total for the fiscal year) and on training new inspectore (over one FTE for the year).
The region completed 96% of the adjusted plan.
Overdue inspections increased from 161 to 246 during the first 8 months of the fiscal year, largely due to TI 2800/16, which increased the number of required inspections at medical facilities.
The region reduced overdue inspections from 246 to 198 by the end of the fiscal year.
NRC inspection manual chapter 2800/04.04 requires expired licenses to be closed-out in less than 180 days.
The average turnaround time in the region was less than 43 days.
The region performed e ere 40 telephone contacts and followup with l
priority 6 and 7 licel-es, in addition to the budgeted inspection program.
