HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT j
Ueek Ending October 15, 1982 EDO Rule Accroval On October 13, the EDO approved a proposed rule which would amend 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70 concerning licensee actions required if a license is to be terminated.
LaSalle, Unit 1 The licensee infonned NRR that the final report on the independent review of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning will be available on about October 22, 1982. Although the review has taken somewhat longer than originally estimated, it is not expected that plant operations will be significantly impacted.
i Oconee, Unit 3 l
On October 10 the plant was removed from service for a steam generator (SG) tube leak. A 12-day outage is planned to repair the tube and complete maintenance.
Pilerim. Unit 1 On October 12 the plant (while in cold shutdown) experienced a loss of both 345 KV offsite power sources apparently due to salt spray in the air causing insulator flashing in the switchyard. Later that day power supplies were restored.
Monticello Additional cracks have been confirmed that range in depth to about 6 to 12", of wall thickness. The licensee plans to show by analysis that the plant can safely start up and have the cracks repaired at the next outage.
Brunswick, Unit 1 A safety relief valve failed to reclose after reactor testing. The reactor was manually scrammed and the unit placed in cold shutdown. Inspection revealed that the pneumatic supply solenoid plunger spring failed. The licensee will replace all plunger springs with an improved version prior to restart.
Babcock & Wilcox B&W has announced that all low-enriched uranium powder production at its Apollo, Pennsylvania plant will cease at the end of March 1983, and that the plant will te shut down. Long-term contracts will be filled by General Electric.
Order for License Revocation l
IE issued an order revoking the license for Midstate Testing Laboratory, Inc.
l because of the licensee's failure to answer allegations that the licensee acanconed its radiographic facility and licensed material.
~MI Unit 1 Cn Novemoer 9 a public meeting will be held to discuss the potential restart.

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION ITEMS OF INTEREST Week Ending October 15, 1982 LaSalle County Stat' ion, Unit 1 The licensee has orally informed the Project Manager that the final report on the LaSalle Unit 1 independent review of the heating, vent'11ating, and air conditioning will be available to the NRC and the licensee on about October 22, 1982. The licensee's original target date was September 15, 1982. An interim report was filed with the Commission dated September 15, 1982.
I I
Although this HVAC independent review is taking somewhat longer than ori-ginally estimated, the increased time is not expected to significantly impact plant operations. To date, the plant has not operated above 25" j
power.
Oconee Nuclear Station, L' it No. 3 Ocenee 3 was removed from service on October 10,1982 at 2200 for a steam generator (SG) tube leak. The leak developed in the 3A SG and increased to 0.035 gpm at the time f shutdown. A 12-day outage is planned to repair the leaking SG tute and complete other maintenance activities, pilerim 1 At approximately 2:15 a.m. on October 12, 1982, Pilgrim Station experienced a loss of both 345 KV offsite power sources. At the time, the unit was in cold shutdown utilizing ore residual heat removal system pump for shutdown cooling.
Both onsite diesel generators started and picked up loads normally. In addition to the diesels, a 24 KV offsite supply (redundant to one of the diesels) was available if needed.
The licensee has attributed this loss of offsite power, in large part, to salt spray in the air (arising from rough seas and high winds) causing l
insulator flashing in the switchyard. The offsite grid was otherwise l
unaffected by this occurrence. The 345 KV offsite power supplies were restored at approximately 10:30 F.m. the same day.
Monticelle Nuclear Generatine plant Additional cracks have been confirmed by radiograph at the Monticello Nuclear Generating pl a nt.
The previous cracks were found at the end cap of the jet t
pump header. The three new cracks are located in the jet pump riser piping ar.d safe ends. The riser piping is 304 stainless steel,12 inches in DCT '. 5 1952
.NCLOSURE B t
e l diameter, and about 7/8-inch thick. The cracks range in depth to about 6 to 12t of wall thickness, perpendicular to the weld (heat affected zcne),'
and are about 1/2-inch in length. Northern States Power Company is pre-sently investigating preliminary ultrasonic indications of two additio.nal cracks which will be confirmed by radiograph-bringing the potential total up to seven cracks.
Northern States Power Company plans on taking the following action:
1.
Placing a weld overlay over the end cap cracks.
2.
No special action to repair the riser cracks.
t 3.
Showing by analysis (for all cracks) that Monticello can safely start up and repair the cracks at the next outage.
Suscuehanna Unit 1 Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L) met with the NRR staff on October 8, 1952 to discuss the results of its evaluation of 20 additional installed pipe hangers required as part of the resolution of the Susquehanna Unit 1 Indepen-dent Design Verification Program (IDVP) for the Susquehanna, Unit 1.
PP&L stated that four of the 20 hangers required reanalysis. Those reanalyses indicated that three hangers met design requirements without a reduction in safety margin. Preliminary results on the fourth hanger indicated failure under worst case loading conditions, i
PP&L plans to expand the pipe hanger analyses further and provide a letter report to the staff by Friday, October 15, 1982.
Brunswick Steem Electric Plant, Unit No. 1 A two-stage Target Rock safety relief valve failed to reclose after testing with the reactor critical at 200 lbs pressure. The reactor was manually scrammed and the unit placed in cold shutdown. Subsequent inspection re-vealed that the pneumatic supply solenoid plunger spring failed; thus keep-ing the valve in the open position. The licensee was previously aware of i
l this potential failure mode and had an improved version of the plunger spring onsite, ready for replacement. The licensee will replace all plunger springs with the improved version prior to restart.

MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING STAFF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT WEEK ENDING 10/22/82 Supervisory Development Program The Management Development and Training Staff has begun to implement the new Supervisory Development Program. This program, outlined in NRC Appendix 4150, Part VII, consists of a comprehensive program designed to provide meaningful learning ex;,eriences for the development of first-level supervisors. During tne week of October 25, the pilot session of the new course, Supervising Human Resources, will be conducted. The curriculum of this course has been designed to help the first-level supervisor understand and deal with various skills and techniques found useful in performing the managerial function and to help the supervisor plan his/her future managerial development. One of the prime objectives is to provide continuing help in integrating the new supervisor into the management team as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In order to facilitate this and to clarify the role expectations and developmental needs of the participant, the immediate manager of the participant has been asked to attend one module of this course. The Supervising Human Resources course will be brought to the NRC Regional Offices in the Spring of 1983.

0FIICE OF MUCLEAR REACTOR P,EGULATION ITEPS OF INTEREST Week Ending October 22, 1982 Crystal River Unit No. 3 (CR-3)
About 2:00 p.m. on October 14, 1982 Florida Power Corporation (FPC) declared an unusual event for CR-3 and started shutting the plant down. Earlier a fire alarm had been received in the reactor building. On entering the build-ing no fire was noticed but the alarm came from the vicinity of the reactor ccolant drain tank. Subsequently, there was an increase in the level of the i
reactor building sump, level indication of the reactor coolant drain tank was lost and high radiation was measured in the reactor building. The licen-l see then started to shut the plant down to investigate. Earlier in the day the cooling coil in the drain tank failed and was isolated. The speculation is that r'upture disk on the drain tank failed and R/A steam is leaking through the pressurizer safety valves into the reactor building.
Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 Euke power Company recently informed us of problems with the Dresser pres-surizer code safety valves installed on Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3 which caused it to declare these valves " inoperable" from a technical specification standpoint. Oconee Unit 3 was previously shutdown for a steam generator tube leak; Unit 2 commenced a shutdown for safety valve replacement; and Duke requested and ' as granted a waiver to allow operation of Unit 1 until w
October 30, 1982.
The valve problem involves incorrect positioning of the three adjusting rings which control the lift setpoint and blowdown capacity. This problem was disclosed during EPRI tests ~and has been discussed by NRR with licen-sees of plants L ilizing similar valves and with the Regional Offices. The affected N555 vendors have been orally requested to provide infomation on the operability of these valves by October 18, 1982. A generic letter to all pWR licensees is being prepared to inform all utilities and request their review of the potential problem.
Suscuehanna Unit 1 Independent Desien Verification Program In a letter dated October 14, 1982, Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L) provided a plan for a reconciliation sampling-program to review 500 safety-related pipe hangers. PP&L also requested in the same letter that the NRC staff allow operation of Susquehanna Unit 1 at power levels up to 35 percent rated power pencing completion of the reconciliation program. NRR has the matter under consideration.

t Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant j
On October 14, 1982, representatives from Northern States Power Company
[
and the Nuclear Regulatory Comission met in Region III. The Licensee
- 1) presented the recults of the inservice inspection program on the recirculation piping, 2) discussed the latest findings of additional cracks, and 3) presented plans for repair or alternative action. The number of cracks now totals 12. The licensee plans to place weld i
overlays over two of the cracks and provide justification for continued operation with the remaining cracks.
As a result of this meeting, Region III issued, on October 19, 1982, a confirmatory action letter to the licensee requesting an analysis of stresses resulting from repairs and justification for continued operation with existing cracks. The action letter requires the licensee to provide this information and receive NRC concurrence before Monticello may be returned to service.
j Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station i
Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company has detected defective tubes in Maine Yankee's Number Two steam generator. These tubes were identified in.a routing surveillance program during the current refueling outage. The surveillance is being conducted by Combustion Engineering with eddy current detectors.
i As of October 19, 1982, 815 tubes had been tested in this steam generator. Ten were found to contain defects greater than 40% of nominal wall thickness and are candidates for plugging.
Maine Yankee and Combustion Engineering observed that all but one of the defective tubes were in Rows 5 through 8.
These are the short radius U-bend tubes. The pattern of defective tubes is very similar to that found at St. Lucie 1. another CE plant.
In view of the similarity with the St. Lucie event, Maine Yankee is proposing a reduced surveillance program. Under the current technical specifications, the licensee would be required to examine all tubes in all steam generators. However, the licensee's proposing a one-time exemption that would permit them to do a limited examination focusing on short radius tubes.

significantly below the threshold level for criticality concerns. GPU is l
making preparations for collecting gas and liquid samples from each of the demineralizer vessels in December, 1982. Further characterization of the vessel internal conditions including resin samples is scheduled to be completed in early 1983.

that is vertically stratified by particle s.ize (as in settling through a pool) and that also includes very fine debris. This experiment also -.svestigated the effects on coolability of low sodium subcooling and of opening up vapor channels in the bed. This channeling process c~an substantially increase the bed coolability. but previous experiments have indicated that this pro:ess is severely restricted in stratified beds a result that experiment D-9 strongly confirms. Phase-2 of the D-9 experiment will investigate the channeling process in the stratified D-9 debris bed Results of these LMFBR debris coolability experiments are used to develop and validate debris coolability models. which are also used for LWR safety j
assessments. In the LWR Severe Fuel Damage Program experiments are underway to validate these models for LWR specific accident conditions.

. LOFT The Quick Look Report on the last ATWS test, L9-4 was issued October 8,1982. Reports needed to complete the definition of the planned -
next test, L2-6, and dealing with fuel behavior and initial power level were issued this week in time for consideration of the LOFT Review Group meeting, scheduled October 19-20, 1982 in Idaho Falls.
A third report dealing with the nemoval of the pumo and steam generator simulators (to avoid entrapment of released fission
,i products and fuel fragments), will be delayed several weeks as j
consideration is given to a new approach to this question.
,i e
Tests are now in progress to characterize the transient behavior i
of the thermocouples contained inside the new fuel bundle to be used in the L2-6 test. This fuel was recently received from EXXON and the instrumentation is now being checked out.
The recent announcerent of the formation of a DOE-led consortium to take over operation of the LOFT testing program is causing a radical redirection of the program. NRC is cooperating closely with DOE in shif ting the lead responsibility to DOE representatives while maintaining an active role in participation in test planning.
Semiscale Modifications to the facility are almost complete.
Preparations i
are underway to begin shakedown tests and to begin the loss of power test series in late November. The loss of power test series will study various accidents and transients with concurrent loss of offsite power assumptions. After that series is complete, work will begin on a series of steam generator tube rupture tests.

l 0FFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE LEGAL DIRECTOR ITEMS OF INTEREST WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 22, 1982 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 On October 20, 1982, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board issued a Memorandum and Order in this operating license proceeding denying the late-filed petition to intervene of the State of Louisiana. Specifically, the Licensing Board con-cluded in its Order that it had jurisdiction to rule on the late-filed petition to intervene of the State of Louisiana even though the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation had already issued a low power operating license in this previously uncontested matter. The Licensing Board also found, in evaluating the factors enumerated in 10 CFR E 2.714(a) for late-filed petitions, that Louisiana had failed to establish good cause for its late-filing, offered no showing of its ability to make a substantial contribution to the record, and sought to expand j
the issues and delay the proceeding.

o ITEMS OF INTEREST OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 22, 1982 Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material On October 19 the President signed into law H.R. 5228, the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material Implementation Act of 1982. The Act amends the Federal Criminal Code to make theft of nuclar material, extortion and similar offenses involving nuclear material federal crimes. Presidential approval of this Act will now enable the U.S. to ratify the Physical Protection Convention, which was signed by the U.S. on March 3, 1980, and approved by the Senate in July 1981.
In addition to provisions covering crimes involving nuclear material, the Convention calls for adequate physical protection for nuclear material (comparable to the levels recommended in INFCIRC/225/Rev.1) during domestic use, storage and transport as well as international transport. As part of the effort to assure proper implementation of the Convention in the U.S.,
representatTVes of IP, NMSS, and ELD participated in an interagency meeting on October 20 to discuss procedural and regulatory implementing arrangements for the Convention. In addition to making minor changes to 10 CFR Parts 70, 73, and 110 as necessary to ensure that U.S. obligations under the Convention are met, appropriate U.S. interagency coordination procedural arrangements will have to be established.
Technical Coooeration with Korea Ralph Meyer, CPB, will visit the Daeduk Engineering Center the week of October 25 to lecture on fuel behavior and its role in licensing and to hold discussions on baffle jetting problems and the damage to the TMI-2 core.

Laboratory to discuss low-level radioactive waste (LLW) information needs for the States. Four major areas were discussed: transuranic contaminated i
and greater than Class C LLW; the impact on LLW sites of the LLW from decomissioning light-water reactors; the EG&G computerized LLW information retrieval system; and the economics of the transportation and disposal of j
LLW.
Status Report - Low Level Radioactive Waste Compacts i
The Department of Energy on October 19, 1982 transmitted to Senator McClure, Chairman of the Comittee on Energy and Natural Resources, its " Status Report - Low Level Radioactive Waste Compccts, As of July 1982." The NRC i
provided information to DOE in the preparation of this report which contains j
coments on the seven interstate compacts regarding low-level radioactive waste disposal. Copies of the report should become available from DOE in i
early November.
National Leacue of Cities Steve Salomon OSP, met on October 20, 1982 with the National League of Cities to discuss items of mutual regulatory interest. Current interest is foct. sed on the enforcement of regulations pertaining to the transportation of hazardous materials including radioactive materials. Within the next year, an issue that may become important is the involvement of the cities with the States in the siting of low-level radioactive waste sites primarily as related to the transportation aspects.

OFFICE FOR ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF OPERATIONAL DATA ITEMS OF INTEREST WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 22, 1982 Fuel Assembly Degradation While in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool AE0D completed an engineering evaluation of an event in which a fuel assembly top nozzle separated from the remainder of the fuel assembly in the spent fuel pool at Prairie Island. The mode of failure was identified as stress corrosion cracking of the 304 stainless steel top nozzle, but the root causes have not yet been identified. The primary safety concerns are 1) the mode of degradation appears to be new to fuel assemblies and occurs in the spent fuel pool, 2) the degradation may not be readily detectable, 3) the degradation resulted in separation of the top nozzle from the remainder of the fuel assembly while transferring the assembly in the spent fuel pool to new high density racks, and 4) the degradation may be generic with potential for dropped fuel assemblies and resultant fission product release. The information was transmitted to the responsible program office together with listed concerns and suggestions for their resolution.
Potential U.S. Participation in the ADRS As part of discussions potentially leading to NRC participation in the Abnormal Occurrences Reporting System (AORS) being developed by the Commission of the l
European Communities (CEC) located in Ispra, Italy, AEOD has reviewed the reporting criteria, f ormat, and computerized data storage capability. The principal concern resulting from this review is the currently projected limited degree of accessibility to the information by U.S. organizations such as INPO l
and NSAC. AEOD has pointed out the importance of assuring that major organiza-tions analyzing operational data have access to the information.
The ADRS is a data bank which collects information at a lower threshold than the current IRS system, i.e., it is designed to collect events that have or may have safety significance. The collected data, selected according to special defined criteria from either national reporting systems or directly from nuclear power plants, are stored, retrieved, analyzed, and evaluated as a whole in a centralized, structured reporting system.

Some of the following areas were covered:
How to conduct work-force analyses; l
rights of age discrimination complainants and the law that governs the age i
discrimination complaint process; and ways of developing effective affirmative action plans.
