HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT Week Ending August 10, 1990 Installation of Hardened Wetwell Vents for Isolation Condenser Plants On August 7, 1990, Division of Systems Technology staff and other members of NRR met with Dr. Murley to discuss the staff course of action regarding the installation of hardened wetwell vents for isolation condenser Mark I contain-ment plants. Dr. Murley agreed that the request by the plant owners who had not yet voluntarily committed to the installation (0yster Creek, Millstone 1 and Dresden 2, 3) to delay this decision until completion of their Individual Plant Examinations was not substantiated by the additional supporting infor-mation provided; and that these utilities should be informed of the staff's intent for them to proceed without delay with the installation of the hardened wetwell vents.
Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) Briefing The purpose of the August 2, 1990, AVLIS briefing presented by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) was to familiarize the NRC with AVLIS technology, and the application of the technology in uranium enrichment.
LLNL discussed the Department of Energy's (DOE) proposed AVLIS production plant for low enriched uranium as it relates to safety, safeguards, security and other regulatory issues. Mr. Philip G. Sewell, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Uranium Enrichment, DOE, and several of his staff were also present at the briefing. Mr. Sewell indicated that DOE is definitely committed to proceed with the AVLIS initiative and they would want the NRC to perform a license-
_)
ability review of the plant.
Evaluation of Low-level Waste Regulatory Program in February 1990, the Commission directed the staff to evaluate the NRC regu-latory program for low-level waste to confirm that it meets or exceeds the guidelines for Agreement State programs.
The staff issued proposed low-level waste guidelines for Agreement States for comment in the Federal Register in March, and a number of comments have been received and are being reviewed before the staff issues the final guidelines. As part of this process, the staff has begun its evaluation of its program against the proposed guidelines and will factor the results of the evaluation into the final guidelines.
A team composed of staff from NMSS, GPA, and Region 111 will be conducting the review, which is expected to be completed by the end of September 1990.
Cintichem, Tuxedo, New York Cintichem has a 5 MW pool reactor, hot cells and laboratory for production of radioisotopes for use in radiopharmaceuticals.
On February 23, 1990, NRC issued CAL No. 1-90-005, as a result of an incident involving the discharge of con-taminated water from the licensce's onsite retention pond to the Indian Kill Reservoir. The CAL included licensee commitments to be implemented in the event that heavy rains or surface run-off necessitated that the retention pond I

'in Power Ascension Program - On July D. M O, supplement 1 to CAL 88-17 was issued authorizing the licensee to proceed with startup.
Criticality was achieved on July 29.
The plant was restarted on August 2 following the July 30 shutdown to correct drywell leakage caused by a damaged electromagnetic relief valve (ERV) downcomer vacuum breaker and leaking ERVs.
As.of August 6, the plant was operating at approximately 20% of rated power with 2 to 3 bypass valves open.
At 1732 hours0.02 days <br />0.481 hours <br />0.00286 weeks <br />6.59026e-4 months <br /> on August 6, the reactor was rer.ually scranned due to high vibration on a main turbine bearing. The vibra-tion was detected during preparations for placing the main turbine on-line.
Main condenser vacuum was broken to more quickly reduce turbine speed to prevent further damage to the bearing. The operators performed well during the event and all plant systems responded as required.

Preliminary indications' are that a blank flange, left in the oil supply line to the bearing, was the cause of the event.
The licensee expects the unit to be down for about a week to replace / repair the turbine bearing.
Augmented Startup Inspection Coverage is in effect.
Unit 2 The unit is at the 755 power level, coasting down to the first refueling outage.
Oyster Creek On August 6,1990, at 3:15 pm the licensee of the Oyster Creek plant notified HRC Region 1 of an Unusual Event which occurred during testing of the Oyster Creek containment spray system. The plant began a shutdown when unidentified leakage exceeded the 5 gpm Technical Specification limit.
It was subsequently postulated that the likely cause was a contair, ment spray isolation valve that 4
failed to f ully close during a flow test, resulting in 300 gallons of water sprayed into containment over a 21 minute period.. The operability of the MSIVs were varified when the plant was reduced in power to 40%. After reducing the leakage to within Technical Specification limits the-licensee terminated the unusual event at 5:50 pm.
During the course of the event, the containment was pressurized to 0.3 - 0.4 l
psig from the effects of added water vapor inside containment. The licensee.
subsequently vented the containment out of the reactor building exhaust system to the stack.
No increase ht the 1mr/hr background reading at the stack monitor was observed. Later in the evening after the event, State of New Jersey sensors located 1.4 miles northeast of the site detected a spike of 120 - 130 microrem/hr of radioactivity for about 2 minutes compared with the normal background reading of 5 - 10 microrem/hr.
A Comission Assistant's conference call was held on August 7,1990, to provide l
background and status on this event.
Region I inspectors have been dispatched to the site to review licensee actions, l
1 venting procedures, sequence of events, operability test results of affected plant equipment, and the-reasons behind the observed spike in the offsite radiation monitor. As of 11:00 am, August 8, 1990 the plant had returned to l
about 95% power.
-YAEC Meetint On August 7,1990, Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC), the licensee of Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station, met with the staff in Rockville NRC offices to discuss issues relative to its analyses of Pressurized Thermal Shock and Low Temperature Overpressure Protection. During this meetir.g,
-YAEC committed to providing additional analyses and evaluation (by the end of this week) to support its conclusion that the Yankee Rowe design meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.61. The staff will perform an assessment of the licensee's submittal.

Installation of Hardened Wetwell Vents for Isolation Condenser Plants On August 7, 1990, Division of Systems Technology staff and other members of NRR met with Dr. Murley to discuss the staff course of action regarding the installation of hardened wetweil vents for isolation condenser Mark I containment plants.
Dr. Murley agreed that the request by the plant owners who had not yet voluntarily committed te the installation (Oyster Creek, Millstone 1, and Dresden 2, 3) to delay this decision until completion of their Individual Plant Examinations was not substantiated by the additional j
supporting information provided; and that these utilities should be informed of the staff's intent for them to proceed without delay with the installation of the hardened wetwell vents, Public Meeting Between The Staff And The BWR Regulatory Response Group (EMEB) (Update) t On August 1, 1990, the staff held a public meeting with the BWR Regulatory Response Group (RRG) to discuss the staff's concerns regarding the capability of the RCIC, HPCI and RWCU containment isolation MOVs to properly function. At-the meeting, the staff presented an overview of its evaluation of the MOV data supplied by the BWROG as compared to the thrust required to close the valves during the NRC-sponsored tests. The BWR RRG presented a safety assessment assuming that the.MOVs might be unable to close under design-basis conditions.
The BWR RRG asserted that the safety significance of this issue is sufficie" low as to allow time to correct any identified deficiencies as part of the long-term program of Generic letter 89-10, " Safety-Related Motor-Operated Vahe Testing and Surveillance." The BWR RRG stated that the NRC-sponsored test data would be evaluated for applicability to the M0Vs currently installed in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU systems, but had no specific schedule for that evaluation or plans for action following that evaluation.
In light of the lack of any specific plans in this regard by the BWR RRG, the staff stated that it would consider the need to prepare a generic communication to the BWR licensees. The possible generic communication was discussed with the RRG, and it would contain the following elements for individual licensees to perform (1) plant specific safety assessment to demonstrate that the generic BWR RRG safety assessment is t
applicable, (2) determine the applicability of the test data to the individual plant's HPCI, RCIC and RWCU isolation valves (as well as the MOVs used in lines to the isolation condenser), (3) determine whether the MOVs are capable of performing their safety function, and (4) establish a schedule for the performance of any necessary corrective actions.

I INTRAVAL Phase 2 Study Group The Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research received an invitation from Dr. Lars 4^
Hognerg, Director General, Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), to partici-pate in the proposed Phase 2 effort of INTRAVAL (an international cooperative effort in studying) validation of geosphere t o nsport models for assessing geo-logic repositories managed by SKl.
NRC staff and contractors have participated for three years in the Phase 1 effort. The Phase 1 studies have made a signifi-cant contributions both in communicating ideas and information on validation issues related to geosphere transport models associated with geologic disposal of radioactive waste, and in helping to develop an international confidence-building study whereby laboratory and field experimentalists directly interact with mathematical modelers on site-specific experiments. The Phase 1 effort has been of great assistance to NRC's research and licensing programs on radio-active waste disposal, The proposed Phase 2 work involves a three-year additional period in which field-scale studies of ground-water and transport experiments will be conducted and modeled by the various INTRAVAL scientific teams.
Eric Beckjord, Director, RES has designated Thomas J. Nicholson of RES to be NRC's representative to the INTRAVAL Coordinating Group.
Consistent with participation in INTRAVAL's Phase 1, RES has designated various NRC technical and contractor staff for analyzing l
several INTRAVAL problems simultaneously, and has identified RES projects and responsible Principal Investigators for individual INTRAVAL test cases (i.e.,
Las Cruces Trench study for low-level waste and the Apache Leap Tuff studies for high-level weste).

Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office of the General Counsel, and the Office of Governmental and Public Affairs on August 7, 1990, to review res-ponses to their recently submitted Workstation Standard Questionnaires. The questionnaires solicited comments from a cross section of employees regarding the effectiveness of the general office environment in One White Flint North (OWFN), as well as the perceived efficiency of the standard open and closed workstation configurations applied in OWFN.
Of particular interest were impressions of the level of visual and acoustical distraction in the open environment, as well as the utility of the systems furniture components in the workstations.
Conclusions drawn _from the questionnaires and intervies process may help in identifying changes in the standard configurations to be used to plan TWFN.

Cintichem has a 5 MW pool reactor, hot cells and laboratory for production of radioisotopes for use in radiopharmaceuticals. On February 23, 1990, NRC issued CAL No. 1-90-005, as a result of an incident-involving the discharge of contaminated water from the licensee's onsite retention pond to the Indian Kill Reservoir. The CAL included licensee commitments to be implemented in the event that heavy rains or surface run-off necessitated that the retention pond be emptied or lowered to preserve its integrity.

CONTROL R0D B0 WING AT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION On June-23, 1990, two Group D control rods in the core peripheral positions-17 and 18 failed to fully insert into the core when the reactor was manually.
tripped.. The trip was part of a planned shutdown sequence for the Cycle 21 refueling outage. The licensee implemented abnormal operating procedures and fully inserted all control rods.
The control rods at Yankee Rowe are of a cruciform design having a neutron absorbing section and a Ziracioy follower that is not used at any other domestic commercial plant.
The sticking problem experienced by these rods is apparently due to bowing of the rods due to irradiation growth. The licensee has experienced sticking of control rods in the past and had a control rod management program in place since 1972.
This program was refined over the years and a formalized control rod management pro. yam was issued in April 1990. The procedure for implementing the program was drafted prior to refueling. The program includes evaluation of flux gradient and empirical data; measurements of control rod bow, length, and end-of-cycle drop times; use of measured data to create a more accurate model; and orienting Group D rods with the bow away from the center of the core.
Following the event of June 23, the licensee has modified the program from-the original 13 rods to all 24 rods.
Based on the results of tests and measurements, the licensee replaced four control rods - at positions 9, 17, 18 and 21. The five Group D rods not replaced (19, 20, AUGUST 10, 1990 ENCLOSURE N
q 22, 23 and 24) were re-oriented with the rod bow away_from the center of core. The measurements taken were used to confirm the bow model and orien-tation concept. The licensee found that the measured rod growth data was conservatively bounded by the linear model, except for two rods; a quad-ratic model provided a better fit of the data. The predicted bow using the quadratic equation was, in general, found to be more conservative than the measured bow of four of five Cycle 20 rods. Predicted bows for Cycle 21 are found to be within the acceptable limit of 0.25 inches.
The licensee will perform control rod drop time tests prior to restart and has committed to do them whenever the reactor is in mode 3.
The licensee has also committed to further validate the bow model with data obtained from domestic BWRs by mid-Cycle 21, and to have an independent peer review done of the bow model by the end of 1990.
NRC Region I will continue follow-up of this issue.

Dresden Nuclear-Station At 1:05 a.m. (CDT) on August 2, 1990, safety relief valve 2A opened j
unexpectedly and remained open.
The reactor was at 87 percent power. The Target Rock safety relief valve which opened and four Electromatic relief valves constitute the automatic depressurization system.
Reactor operators followed abnormal operating procedures, but were unable to close the valve.
The reactor was scrammed manually at 1:16 a.m.
The licensee declared an Unusual Event under its emergency plan.
Steam was discharged through the valve into the pressure suppression pool (torus). The licensee believes the valve' closed at about 3:50 a.m. as indicated by torus temperature and reactor pressure changes.
The Resident Inspectors responded to the site and a specialist was sent from Region 71! to inspect the valve and an electrical junction box found separated from its mount.
Region til issued a-Confirmatory Action Letter documenting the licensee's commitments to certain actions following this event on August 3, 1990. The licensee replaced the' valve, remounted the junction box, and analyzed ~the effects'of the reactor cooldown and discharge to the torus. Testing of the removed valve indicates that there was a mechanical failure of the valve.
The unit was restarted August 8, 1990.
