Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending November 12, 1993 l
ACRS Full Committee Meetina on GE ABWR Instrumentation and Control Systems On November 4, 1993, GE and NRR met with the ACRS to discuss the GE ABWR instrumentation and control (I&C) system design and the basis for the staff's approval of the design for certification under 10 CFR Part 52.
The staff and GE previously met with the ACRS Computers and Design Acceptance Criteria Subcommittees on November 2, 1993, to discuss this topic. As a result of the meeting, the ACRS agreed with the approach the staff has taken and documented in Section 7 of the ABWR safety evaluation report which relies on approval of:
- 1) the I&C system architecture and functional requirements, 2) the software development process with commitments to the industry standards, 3) the phased staff audit of the process, and 4) compliance with the Commission-approved diversity position.
Foreign Travel to Sweden On October 29, 1993, Amy Cubbage of the Reactor Systems Branch and Robert Perch of DSSA met with representatives of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) in Stockholm, Sweden, to discuss the water level instrumentation issue and other regulatory issues including shutdown risk and core shroud cracking. On November 1, they met with ABB-Atom, and on November 2, they toured the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant and met with plant personnel.
The NRC staff gained valuable insights into how the Swedish BWRs are resolving concerns related to noncondensible gases in the level instrumentation.
Two of the units at Forsmark have begun design work for a condensate chamber vent modification, and the third unit is planning to install a different condensate chamber design which prevents the buildup of noncondensible gases. This condensate chamber design has been in use at a Swedish PWR at the Ringhals site for the past two years, and the design was verified by testing prior to installation.
The Forsmark units are also planning to add a diverse means of level measurement other than differential pressure.
Concepts currently under consideration are an ultrasonic device (EMUS) in use at a German plant and an incore device that detects core cooling which has been in use at Barsebeck for the last 5 years.
Float switches are in use at Ringhals Unit 1, a BWR, and this level measurement device provides redundant and diverse start of ECCS injection.
Plants in Decommissionina Process - Status of Trainina Rule Exemotions NRR is responsible for seven plants in the process of being decommissioned; namely, Dresden 1, Indian Pt. 1, Rancho Seco, San Onofre 1, TMI 2, Trojan, and l
Yankee Rowe.
Exemptions from the recently issued training rule,10 CFR 50.120, are being processed for six of these plants.
Commonwealth Edison stated that Dresden 1 is staffed by Unit 2 personnel that would meet the training rule requirements; therefore no exemption is needed. The NRC staff agrees with this assessment and is preparing a letter to that effect.
The remaining six plants are being issued exemptions on the initiative of the staff as permitted by 10 CFR 50.12(a).
These exemptions only relieve the NOVEMBER 12, 1993 ENCLOSURE A
2 licensees from compliance with the systems approach to training requirements of 10 CFR 50.120; all previous training requirements and commitments are unaffected.
The Rancho Seco exemption has been issued. The training rule becomes effective on November 22, 1993, and the NRR staff is working closely with OGC in order to have the remaining exemptions, except for Indian Point 1, issued by that date. The Indian Point 1 exemption is scheduled for issuance by mid-December 1993. 'As the staff has determined that Indian Point 1 presently 1
meets the rule, the exemption need not be issued by November 22.
Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 Both units are operating at 100% power with no significant problems.
The first transfer of spent fuel from the spent fuel pool to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is scheduled for the week of November 15-19, 1993. The ISFSI is located within the plant site boundary and was licensed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72, materials license No. SNM-2505, on November 25, 1992. The license is for 120 modules, each~of which is capable of storing 24 fuel assemblies. The fuel assemblies are contained in a dry shielded horizontal position module for long-term storage.
.i Three Mile Island Unit 1 Three Mile Island Unit 1 is operating at 100% power, producing 865 MWe, in its 20th consecutive day of operation.
No major components are presently out of service.
However, one of the two pressurizer Code safety relief valves has seat leakage of about 0.75 gpm. The leak rate has gradually been-increasing over the past 2 weeks. GPU Nuclear has consulted with the valve vendor (Dresser) to pursue options to reseat the valve.
NRR management and Region I are following this situation closely. The staff has advised the licensee that manually lifting the valve with the reactor at power, as contemplated by the licensee, would not be prudent. The staff recommended that'the plant be in hot shutdown'if that course of action were selected. A special review group was assigned by the licensee to review the options.
In a conference call on November 5, the licensee advised the staff that they have decided to manually lift the relief valve on or about November 14 and that the plant will be in hot shutdown for this test.
Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2 The San Luis Obispo. Mothers for Peace (SLOMFP) requested a two week extension to their deadline for submitting proposed findings of fact with regard to the license recapture hearing. The ASLB granted SLOMFP's request and gave them until November 19, 1993, to submit proposed findings. 'The staff's and licensee's schedules have also been revised. Our proposed findings of fact are now due on December 10, 1993, and the licensee's response to the-staff'and SLOMFP is due December 20, 1993. The licensee issued their proposed findings as originally scheduled on October 8, 1993. The ASLB's decision is expected early in 1994.

The licensee also made a presentation covering the progress of their Criticality Safety Margin Improvement Program. This program includes the implementation of a strong configuration control system, a hazards review, and a root cause analysis program.
Part 70 Standard Review Plan Meetinas The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is developing a Standard Review Plan (SRP) to provide guidance to staff who review applications for licenses, under 10 CFR Part 70, to produce enriched uranium or to process it in making reactor fuel. On Monday, November 8, 1993, at NRC headquarters, the staff held the second of a series of public meetings with fuel cycle licensees to obtain information relevant to the development of acceptance criteria for the various areas of review within the SRP..
Fourteen industry representatives were present, and provided useful comments concerning acceptance criteria for the review of submittals on radiation protection, environmental protection, decommissioning and waste management. The final meetings of this series are scheduled for November 15 and 16,1993.
Support to the International Atomic Eneray Aaency (IAEA)
Staff from the Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards participated in l
the semi-annual review meeting of the U.S. Government Support Program. At i
this meeting, the U.S. Government and the IAEA reviewed the status of the
{
ninety-plus tasks of various magnitudes, which the U.S. Government funds in response to IAEA needs to keep IAEA safeguards effective. The IAEA confirmed that the present channels of communications for requesting assistance are working properly and should not be changed. The IAEA also discussed fifteen new areas in which they plan to request U.S. assistance in the coming year.
l Applied Radiant Enerav Corporation Sources Tested i
1 On October 21, 1993, in accordance with license requirements, Applied Radiant Energy Corporation (ARECO) performed leak tests of its 25 Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF) sources. All sources passed the tests. Although not required, ARECO also performed " clunk" tests of the WESF sources and reported that all sources passed the tests. According to ARECO, "[1]imited visual examination and the results of this recent clunk test indicate that no changes in the sources have occurred."
NOVEMBER 12, 1993 ENCLOSURE B
2 AREC0, located in Lynchburg, Virginia, leases the WESF sources containing cesium-137 from the Department of Energy (DOE) for use in an underwater irradiator. ARECO continues to use the WESF sources, while maintaining increased surveillance, until DOE arranges for the return of WESF sources from commercial irradiators following the failure of one WESF source at the Radiation Sterilizers, Inc. facility in Decatur, Georgia, in June 1988.
Hearina on Scent Fuel Containers On November 8, 1993, Storage and Transport Systems Branch staff attended a field hearing on spent fuel containers before the Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Subcommittee on Energy.
The hearing was held in Newport News, Virginia. Mr. Robert M. Bernero, Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, presented testimony on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's requirements for certifying spent fuel casks for storage and transportation and the relationship of these requirements to the multi-purpose canister system.
The multi-purpose canister system is currently being considered by the U.S. Department of Energy for the high-level waste repository program.
NRC/ DOE Meetina on the Multi-Purpose Canister System On November 9, 1993, staff from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, Department of Energy (DOE),
met for a presentation by DOE and DOE contractors on the conceptual design of the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) system.
State of Nevada representatives were also in attendance. The meeting focused on a description of the MPC concept and operating strategy, including conceptual design bases, identification of technical and programmatic issues, and a tentative schedule for MPC development.
Audit of West Valley Proiect Office Division of High-level Waste Management quality assurance (QA) staff observed a U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Waste Management, Vitrification Projects Division, quality assurance audit, of the West Valley Project Office (WVPO) from November 1-5, 1993, in West Valley, New York. The audit examined the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the WVP0 QA program and activities related to high-level radioactive waste. A staff member from CER Corporation participated in observing this audit as a representative for the DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. The State of Nevada and affected units of local government declined to participate as observers.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission observers determined that the audit was effective in evaluating the WVP0 QA program, and agreed with the audit team that the overall WVP0 QA program implementation was effective. The audit team identified seven preliminary observations and issued four preliminary deviation and Corrective Action Reports at the exit meeting.
None of these is significant in terms of the overall WVP0 QA Program.

Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Items of Interest Week Ending November 12, 1993 Draft Staff Evaluation Report Reaardina Individual Plant Examination Submittal for ona Public Service Company's Palo Verde Units 1. 2. and 3 RES has completed its review and issued a draft staff evaluation report i
regarding the Individual Plant Examination (IPE) submittal for the Arizona Public Service Company's Palo Verde Units 1, 2, and 3.
The IPE was performed in two stages. The results of the preliminary stage showed a core damage frequency (CDF) of 1.0E-3/ reactor-year because of the dependence of several key plant systems on just two of four Class 1E DC power channels. The licensee "hsequently identified four modifications to address this vulnerability. The licensee's final IPE, which incorporated these modifications, resulted in a CDF of 9.0E-5/ reactor-year. The licensee did not identify any other vulnerabilities with respect to core damage or containment performance.
The licensee indicated that various additional improvements are being considered for implementation.
Based on the review of the Palo Verde IPE submittal and associated documentation, the staff concludes that the licensee met the intent of Generic Letter 88-20.
In addition to the IPE efforts, the licensee plans to maintain a "living" PRA.

(EN 93-111)
By EN 93-081 dated August 12, 1993 the Commission was notified of the intent of OE to issue a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $ 75,000 to the GPU Nuclear. Corporation. The action was based on five radiological controls violations.
The licensee responded to the Notice in a letter dated September 20, 1993 and paid $50,000 of the proposed
$75,000. After careful consideration of the licensee's response and its arguments against the escalation of the civil penalty, the staff has concluded that the $75,000 civil penalty as set forth in the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty is appropriate.
Accordingly, an Order Imposing Civil Penalty in the amount of $25,000 was issued November 9,1993.

to develop and foster direct lines of communication between Federal scientists and private sector researchers; to support the President's new technology direction to forge a closer working partnership among industry, Federal and State workers and universities; and to explore existing and future technology transfer mechanisms. The agenda of the conference included representatives from Federal NOVEMBER 12, 1993 ENCLOSURE M
agencies, universities, industry and international consortia.
The roundtable format elicited frank discussions and a number of insightful comments.
For example, there appeared to be a consensus that: (1) laws and regulations as presently constituted do not lead to efficient use of resources and a number of them Snould have a " sunset" clause; (2) in the present global economy, the idea et limiting patents to the country of origin may no longer be valid and may curtail private investment in research; and (3) there is a need to study the EFFECTS of environmental regulations and laws. Ms. Lopez-Otin, as a member of the PEGI group will be working on the proceedings of the conference and can make copies available to those interested when they are published.

Beaver Vallev Unit 2 i
An AIT is underway at Beaver Valley Unit 2 to review common mode failure concerns regarding the emergency diesel generator (EDG) sequencers.
EDG No. I and No. 2 had failed load tests on November 4 and 6, 1993, respectively. The failures were initially attributed to solid-state relays (Model 365A) made by Automatic Timing and Controls (ATC), Inc.
The failures would have prevented safety loads from sequencing onto the 1
safety buses during a LOOP /LOCA with a safety injection signal present, j
.\\
Preliminary cause af the failure of the sequencer is a high-voltage
(=1400 Volts) spike from a ASEA 125 Vdc relay (when its contacts open).
that is being propagated through the power supply to the ATC relays,
]
causing spurious reclosure of the ATC relay' contacts. A modification replaced conventional relays with the Model 365A relays in October 1990.
j The relays that failed have'been installed:since April 1992. The AIT i
continues to investigate overall EDG sequencer design _ and the' exact-nature of the failure. Unit.1 does not use the ATC relays and, as yet, does not appear to have the problem.
