hW $ n4M// HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT C g } I Week Ending September 17, 1982 4 Beaver Valley, Unit 1 The licensee is investigating a recent occurrence involving a pilot operat,ed relief valve that lifted for a few seconds while the plant was heating up from prior shutdown. The PORY resented properly and there was no release to the environment. j Nine Mile Point Ultrasonic (UT) examination of the Emergency Condenser (ECS) and Shutdown Cooling Systems (SCS) recently showed preliminary indication of cracks in twelve of thirteen welds. Results of further testing may require the licensee to expand the scope of piping replacement to include safety-related piping other than primary coolant piping. Susquehanna, Unit 1 On September 10, 1982, the reactor achieved initial criticality. Pebble Springs Portland General Electric Company infomed NRR that it was proceeding with plans to teminate the Pebble Springs application. Final plans' are expected by the first of October. Uranium Recovery Reg'ionalization The Uranium Recovery Field Office will be established in Denver, Colorado on i October 1,1982. Field Office staff will be in the W111ste Building until relocated. Spent Fuel Storage NRC met with Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) to discuss three options to store spent fuel from the Surry facility:

1) Transshipment to and storage at North Anna site;
2) A water pool type independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) i at Surry site with application expected in June 1983; and
3) A dry cask type ISFSI at Surry site with application expected in October 1982.

VEPCO prefers tne first option. 1 LOFT On September 20-21, 1982, a meeting will be held at the OECD/ Nuclear Energy Agency Heqdquarters to decide whether or not to proceed with DOE's proposal for a LOFT International Consortium. SEP 171H2 l 1

P i i 0FFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION ITEMS OF INTEREST Week Ending September 17, 1982 Eeaver Valley Unit 1 l While heating up from prior shutdown, with RCS pressure at about 350 psi and l Tavg at 260'F, a PORV lifted (low set point is 350 psi)_ This occurred at i 4:00 p.m., September 8,1982. At that time, the pressunzer relief tank (PRT) was being purged with water as part of the procedre to establish an blanket. With the PRT being water solid, the ruptune disc was blown out i N 2by the sudden increase in pressure due to PORY venting. The RCS pressure dropped to 325 psi. The FRT had been filled with primary grade water at the time of the incident. Centainment integrity had been established prior to stantup. There wa s, thus, no release to the environment. l The licensee reported that the PORV stayed open for abac "a couple o# seconds." The pressurizer was filled to 30% water and, therefore, the l brief venting through the PORY should involve only sters. The PORV resented l properly af ter the lifting. l The licensee beli[ees the PORV lifted on a spurious sigal. Investigation l cf the cause is c going. Prior to the incident, the'ltensee had requested Westinghouse to s~udy the feasibility of raising the 106 PORY setpoint to j about 400 psi. Tnis study is still in process. All infer:Etion was based on conversations with licensee personnel and the resi:ent inspe:ter.

The sample indicated that hydrogen gas was being released, but there did not appear to be any release of oxygen to support combustion. Based on the latest measurements, the gas generation l rate in the reactor vessel was ' calculated to be less than 0.02 cubic foot per day. Three reactor building entries are scheduled for next week. Decontamination i inside the reactor building will be the predominant work activity. 4 EPICOR II Prefilter Shipment. The licensee is sampling and inerting the PF-6 waste liner. PF-6, wnien contains approximately 170 curies of fission products, will be placed in an existing SN-1 type B shipping cask (designed to withstand transportatior; accidents) to determine if this relatively low curie liner can meet the DOT /NRC shipping dose rate requirements. This demonstration is expected to be completed by the end of September 1982. 5. Reactor Buildine and Incore Thermocouple Temperatures. Since mid-August 1952, Ine reportec average incere thermocouple reacings have dropped from a maximum of 127'T to the current level of 118'F. The maximum reported incore thermoccuole dropped from 144*F to 136*F, and the RCS loop temperatures i showed correspending decreases. These decreasing trends in temperatures are expected, primarily due to normal variations in the ambient temperature insice the reactor building. In mid-August the reactor building ambient temperatures were in the mid 80's (*F), and have since dropped to tne mid /O's (*F), promoting reactor coolant system cooling. ~ g i i SEP 1 7 p~".; ENCLOSURE B r i i

(GE) Wilminoton, North Carolina On September 7, 1982, members of the NMSS staff met with Region 11 personnel to discuss a draf t of a proposed license renewal for GE's LWR fuel fabrication facility in Wilmington, North Carolina. On September 8, representatives from NMSS and Region 11 met with officials of the State of North Carolina to discuss proposed NRC monitoring requirements for non-radiological contaminants in GE's gaseous and liquid effluents and the groundwater surrounding GE's lagoon system. The purpose of the meeting was to determine if the NRC imposed conditions were compatible with the State's regulatory requirements so that if the State should desire to assume regulatory responsibility over non-radiological releases the conditions could be assumed verbatim in a State permit. As a result of the meeting several conditions were deleted and others were modified to address the State's comments. On September 8 and on September 9 the members of the HMSS and Region II staff met with GE to discuss the questions and comments the staff had generated as a result of the GE renewal application review and the staff's proposed course of action on the renewal application. Spent Fuel Storace On September 13, 1982 NRC staff met with Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) to discuss VEPCO's preparation of a license application to store spent fuel in a water pool type independent spent fuel storage installation to be located at its Surry site. An application from VEPC0 is expected about June 1983. This application would be in addition to VEPCO's application for transshipment and storage of Surry spent fuel at its North Anna facility, submitted to NRR, and the application to be filed in October 1982 to store Surry spent fuel in an onsite dry cask type ISFSI.

LOFT l The penultimate test in NRC's LOFT program is on schedule for September 22, 1982. This test, designated L9-4 is an ATWS, initiated i by a loss of off-site power. It is the second of two ATWS tests and the final test in the L9 series - a multifailure test series. An I&E team is on-site at INEL perfoming the one-week investigation / ~ of operational procedures which led to an unexpected core uncovery during June's large break test L2-5. A meeting is being held on September 20-21, 1982 at the OECD/ Nuclear Energy Agency Headquarters to decide whether or not to proceed with DOE's proposal for a LOFT International Consortium. 2D/3D The 2D/3D Program Coordination meeting will be held on October 6-8, 1982 in Room P-110/114 at the Phillips Building, Bethesda. Meeting participants are representatives of GRS, KWU, Battelle,and BBR from the Federal Republic of Germany, those of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and Japan IHI Corporation, and those of ORNL, INEL, LANL, MPR, Sandia, and NRC.

Semiscale System upgrade to MOD-2B has slipped by about one-week. The pressurizer upgrade involves replacing the present pressurizer with a unit which is properly scaled in height, heater configuration, and surge line. The new pressurizer will be tall and narrow. As a result, heat losses will be reduced by a sleeved shell design. Construction of the shell has proven to be more time consuming than anticipated. All other work is on schedule. j B&W Experimental Program A meeting with the B&W Owners is. scheduled for September 16,19B2 in Washington, D.C. to discuss the possibility of a cooperative j program. NRC and the B&W Owners will present their interest in i obtaining data in an integral system having a geometry simular to a B&W plant. This will be followed by a discussion of a possible i cooperative program, areas of common interest, and how to proceed. i Workshop on COMMIX-1 A Code at ANL September 8-15,1982 A three day workshop on the C0KMIX-1 A three-dimensional transient thermal hydraulics code was held at Argonne National Laboratory on September 8-10, 1982. Total atten-dance was 67 with 42 individuals from outside ANL. Representatives from W. Germany, France, U.K. and Japan attended. During the workshop three problems were set up and analysed. Users such as General Atomic, General Electric, and Babcock and Wilcox Co (B&W) made presentations on their applications. There was a great deal of discussion on the numerical diffusion problem and how to solve it. EPRI has awarded B&W a contract to investigate the problems and recommend improvements in numerics. At present no Eulerian code has a satisfactory solution. Turbulence modeling was also discussed. In general the improved version of C0KMIX-1 A with fully implicit numerics and mass rebalance was well received. Generally a turbulence model is not needed when the porosity treatment is used j since it is already included in the fomulation. For other problems the single i equation k model in COMMIX is probably adequate. A version with two equation K-E model is operational but has not been released. 4 SEP 171922 ENCLOSURE E I

i PBF The first severe fuel damage (SFD) test in the PBF at INEL was scheduled for September 24. We expect this date to slip about a week. A system operation test to demonstrate that the recently installed experiment cooling system is functioning properly has shown a problem. Also, the in-pile tube closure head is leaking at one of the instrumentation pene-tration seals. The SFD experiment consists of 3 days steady state irradiation followed by 8 days cooling followed by the 2 hour transient test which is expected to reach a peak fuel temperature of 2400K. COBRA / TRAC J. Han visited PNL on September 8 and 9, 1982 to review COBRA / TRAC best-estimate calculations for a UHI-equipped PWR under large-break LOCA. The result indicates that the upper head water injection into the core is effective in core cooling. The calculated peak clad te perature is 11500F and the whole core is quenched at 14 seconds af ter the LOCA initiation. Ptil is completing another calculation using evaluation,model conditions with higher decay heat.and rod peaking factors. Results of the best-estimate and the evaluation-model calculations will be compared in the upcoming Tenth Water Reactor Safety Research Information Meeting.

gg 1 9 6 Z), 9 30 HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT f j Week Ending September 24, 1982 Indian Point, Unit 3 On September 21, 1982, the Power Authority of the State of New York will make a series of presentations concerning their proposed steam generator repair programs. NRC review of the program may have a significant impact on the length of the plant's present outage. San Onofre, Unit 2 At the request of the licensee, NRC amended Unit 2's operating license to delay the post-accident sampling system (PASS) operability to January 1,1983. A condition of the license was that the PASS had to be operable prior to exceeding j 5% power. Hardware modifications for making the PASS operable are causing the delay. Susouehanna, Unit i On Septemoer 22, a brief fire occurred in the ESW switchgear at the plant due to a wire accidently dropped across a breaker during modifications to the ESW l system. Damage appears to be limited to the affected breaker. 1 Palo Verde, Unit 3 On September 22, 1952, a rebar curtain gave way in the Fuel Handling Building killing a Bechtel Power Corporation iron worker and injuring four others, two of which required hospitalization. Construction Assessment Team j During September 20-24, 1982, initial CAT inspection activities were conducted at the TVA-Bellefonte site near Scottsboro, Alabama. 1 Ouality Assurance An incecendent assessment of safety-related welds at WPPSS, Unit 2 will be ~ l l oerfor ed during the week of September 27th through a joint effort with contractors, l Regi on and Region V staff. FLECHT SEASET All shakedown tests have been completed and testing has begun on the 163 Blocked Bundle Test Series at the FLECHT SEASET 153 Blocked Bundle Test Facility. LOTT l As a result of an audit of operating procedures at LOFT and PBF, an IE team reccmmended,to the DOE Idaho site office, using more formal methods of control in specifying and cnanging test operating procedures. Suidelines on post-Accident Recovery The staf# expects to recommend to the Commission, by Boout mid-October, that a orcad ;olicy statement be precared rather than s:ecific tecnnical criteria on post-accident recovery. l l SEP :4 _:0 1 \\ l

Reacter Buildino Entries. Reactor building entries were conducted on Monday, hecnescay, anc Fricay, Septerter 20, 22, anc 24, 1982. Decontamination of the reaC*cr building dome Continued during the entries this week. The dome decontamination is the first phase of an ongoing decontamination effort to reduce loose surface contamination on exposed reactor building surfaces. High pressure, hot water spray will be used as the basic decontamination technique in the reactor building during subsequent phases of the decontamination. One to two hundred thousand gallons of previously processed I water will be used. The water will collect in the reactor building sump for reprocessing through the Submerged Deminerali:er System. Follo,ving the water soray, selected surfaces will be covered with a strippable coating to control ccntamination and to reduce airborne activity. the dectntaminatien will be performed over a period of several months. It is anticipatec that three entries per week will be conducted during this period. It is anticipated that the reactor building purge will be operated almost centinucusly during this period to maintain building temperatures at about 60*F to m1nimize heat stress on personnel working insice. Continuous ccera* ion cf the purge is not expected to significantly increase offsite releases. Radioactive particulate material in the purge air flow are effectively removed by passing inrough three sequential sets of filters. The first filter, called a roughing filter, is similar to a home furnace filter: it keeps the two downstream filters physically clean. The second and third filters are called HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters: they remcve essentially all of the remaining particulate material in the air flow. (Two HEPA filters are used to provice system redundancy.) To date, there has been no incication cf increased particulate releases during reactor building entry purges.

. Krypton 55 has been reduced to below detectable limits inside the reactor building; its environmental impact resulting from a continuous purge is insignificant. Tritium releases are expected to increase as relatively dry ambient ' air is cycled through the reactor building at approximately 25,000 cubic feet per minute by the purge system. The moisture content of the air will be increased by evaporation of the sump and the high pressure spray water (in which the tritium content will be approximately one microcurie per milliliter). The tritiated vapor will be released to the environment with the purge discharge. It is estimated that approximately 10 curies of tritium will be released each month. The conservatively calculated maximum offsite dose resulting from the tritium released will be minimal: approximately l 0.005 crem/yr. (Tnis incremental dose is equivalent to spending one day in a l stone building instead of a wooden building.) The polar crane refurbishrent and other recovery activities will be conducted in parallel with the reactor building decontamination during the entries. 4 EPICCR 11 prefilter Shior.ent Status Preparations are continuing for the shipment of several EPICOR 11 prefilter liners during the month of October 1982. Currently, PF-2 and PF-6 have been sampled, inerted with nitrogen gas and stored onsite at the sclid waste storage facility (SWSF) awaiting shipment to Idaho National Engineering Labcratory (INEL). The PF-5 liner gas analysis indicated 99% nitrogen, 0.4t cxygen anc ncn-cetectable (<0.1%) hydrogen at approximately 3.5 psi negative pressure. The slight negative pressure reading was apparently due to the radiolytic cxygen depietion mechanism in the EPICOR 11 prefilters. The HN-200 type B shipping cask is scheduled to arrive at the TMI site on - October i and liner PF-2 is scheduled for shipment to INEL on Ocicber 5, 1952.

Four Agreement State program supervisors will attend a one-week management, training program beginning September 27. 1982 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor campus. Assistance on Northeast Compact A working paper, " State Role in the Regulation of Low-Level Radioa:tive Waste," was sent on September 21, 1982 to the Coalition of Northeastern Governors (CONEG) Low-Level Waste Policy Working Group in preparation for a meeting that will be held in Albany, New York, on September 30 and October 1, 1982. The paper was written by Faith Brenneman, Regional State Liaison Officer, Regir,n I and Steve Salomon, OSP. Conference of Radiation Control Prohram Directors' Meeting Frank Young, OSP and Paul Lohaus and Ken Jackson, WM/NHSS attended this week in Louisville, Kentucky a meeting of selected State Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD). The meeting was to launch the effort in support of a DOE grant to gather data on low-level waste generated (not just that disposed). Not only will the developed data be used by States and compacts for planning purposes, but it is also neeced by legislators, Governors, and others who are called on for decisionmaking. A draft questionnaire was developed which, when completed, will be distributed by the State program directors to all licensees -- both Agreement State and NRC. Assistance from NRC will be in the form of a list of NRC licensees. TMI Cleanuo Lecislation 4 Representatives James Florio (NJ) recently introduced a bill (H.R. 7031) in the House to allow voluntary utility contributions to fund TMI-2 cleanup. This bill would remove antitrust considerations in voluntary funding and preclude derivative suits by shareholders. This bill departs from earlier ones by making utility contributions voluntary while removing potential barriers to such voluntary contributions. EEP 4 id: ENCLOSURE H I

STAFF REQUIREMENTS: TMI-1 RESTART CONTESTED ISSUES, Memo SECY to D1rcks, 9/24/E2 At a September 10 closed meeting on TMI-l restart contested issues, the Commission agreed to treat generically the Special Master's and Licensing Board's discussions of the NRC written operator examinations. The Special Master's report and Board Partial Initial Decision on cheating contain evidence and analyses of NRC examination weaknesses, both in content and a:iministration. The Ccmmission asks that the concerns raised in these documents i about the NRC operator licensing (examination) process be i ~ addressed as part of the staff's existing human factors program to re-evaluate and improve the NRC operator examinations and operator training programs. In particular, the staff should ensure that the problems evidenced at TMI regarding l the accuracy and credibility of the exams are addressed, and that any weaknesses resulting from simultaneous reliance on licensee training and the NRC exams as independent checks of i ( each other are addressed. The proposed human factors program plan (currently due to the Commission on November 12, 1982) should address this issue. SEP 2 4 ~522 ENCLOSURE O f

The proposed fee schedule should reflect the revised professional staff-year rates contained in the EDO's memorandum of November 3 0, 1981. 1 2. The proposed fee schedule should reflect the revised radioisotope licensing and inspection fees contained in j the EDO's memorandum of June 4, 1982. l 1 3.

In ecnnection with the six-month billing cycle, the Cc= mission should be furnished a report. showing the total amount billed, the amount collected, and the arount of contract costs and staf f ef fort recovered. 5.

The EDO should develop a contingency plan for this possibility. Commissioner Ahearne disagreed in part with the Ccnr.ission decisien adding the following comments: 1. I would amend item #1 as followc " strike memorandum of November 30, 1981" and add " memoranda of November 30, 1981 and April 26, 1982". 2. I would also add the 650 educational institutions, 53 Part 50 licenses, and the other non-Federal licenses listed in the EDo's April 16 memo under Item 3.

r t ITEMS ADDRESSED BY THE COMMISSION - k'EEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 24, 1982 F. SECY-81-615 (Cont'd) Cc=issicner Roberts disapproved the proposed amendments stating: "I am basically adverse to approving a policy in which the NRC charges fees based on actual costs incurred by the staff without giving some assurance that procedures er requirements would be made avai-lable to i= pose a realistic ceiling or cap to these costs. As a minimum, appropriate motivation or incentives to the staff should be established to perform expeditious and efficient reviews consistent with the agency's statutcry responsibilities. J "For example, there obviously is a considerable difference in costs between an uncontested and a centested CP license application. Some best (average?) fixed fee fcr a CP would have to be determined. As =anagers, it is incredible to me that by adopting this new cost plus fee schedule the Cc=issioners are giving the agency our full endorsement of Prof. Peter's theorem that 'wcrk expands to fill the time available'."
