Arkansas Nuclear One. Unit 1 (ANO-li - Foreion Ob.iect in Reactor Vessel On September 19, 1993, following removal of the reactor head for refueling, a foreign object was found lying near the outer edge of the core former plate (at top-of-fuel elevation) in the reactor vessel internals. The object is described as being cylinder 8-10" long, with 4-5" of thread and a smooth' hollow shank having a diametral hole through it. Radiation from this object i
measures 200R/hr.
The object was put into a metal mesh container and transferred under water to the spent fuel pool where it is now stored for study.
It appears to be a thread-chasing tool or a hoisting tool.
Core verification tapes from previous outages have been reviewed. A tape from the fall 1990 outage appears oto show the object in the same position as found.
Acoustical monitoring tapes are being reviewed also. The matter is being pursued by the licensee to properly characterize the finding. A Region IV fuel integrity inspection team (who had come onsite several days before) and the resident inspector are monitoring the situation.

2 Brunswick Units I and 2 Brunswick Unit 2 continues operation at 100% reactor power. Brunswick Unit I continues in a refueling outage.
Due to Unit I core shroud crack problems, the refueling outage has been extended to November 18, 1993. The in-vessel ultrasonic test (UT) to characterize the shroud cracks began on September 22, 1993. The testing was delayed in order to modify the UT detector sled to incorporate a set of time-of-flight detector crystals. After experiencing some procurement delays, the licensee was able to obtain several of the detectors from Ontario Hydro. A Region 11 staff member and a representative from Pacific Northwest Laboratory, under contract with NRR, are at Brunswick observing the equipment calibration and the shroud testing. The licensee met with the staff on September 23, 1993, to discuss the UT activities, the design basis for the core shroud, and alternatives and schedules for repairs.
The licensee continues to make progress on the remainder of the outage work activities. Most of this work is expected to be completed by the first week of October 1993.

Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Items of Interest Week Ending September 24, 1993 IAEA Consultants Meetino on Assessments of Safety Marains and Residual life of tij.ior Nuclear Power Plant Comoonents The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Consultants' Meeting on Assessment of Safety Margins and Residual Life of Major Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Components was held at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL),
14-17 September 1993.
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch staff involved with the Nuclear Plant Aging Research (NPAR) program assisted INEL in the coordination of the meeting.
Nine experts from Electricite de France, Siemens, Ontario Hydro, Westinghouse, General Eiectric, IAEA, and INEL participated in the meeting. The meeting developed the basis for preparing guidance reports documenting current practices for the assessment of safety margins and residual life of the major NPP components. The reports also provide information on current inspection, monitoring, and mitigation practices for managing aging of these components.
The underlying objective of the reports is to ensure that the information on -
the current assessment methods and aging management techniques is available to all involved, directly and indirectly, in the operation of NPPs in the IAEA member states. Twelve different major NPP components from PWR, BWR, and CANDU reactor designs were selected for assessment.
The first draft of the reports will be completed by May 1994, and the final draft by' February 1995.
Information Exchance Meetina Between Westinahouse. EPRI and ~1NEL on Valve Experiences At the request of Westinghouse and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) staff members, a meeting was recently held at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) to discuss valve experiences with INEL personnel who have been involved with research and operation of these components. Westinghouse and EPRI have been studying possible valve alternatives to be used in the AP600 Automatic Depressurization System (ADS). Although the visitors were primarily interested in investigating a hydraulically driven quick opening i
valve design that had been used in the INEL Loss of Fluid Test (LOFT) experiments, merits of other designs such as motor-operated globe and gate i
valves were also discussed. The discussion of these latter valves included the status and results of motor-operated valve research programs that have been funded by RES at INEL.
The general opinion of the participants was that the quick opening hydraulic valve design used in LOFT experiments may not be the best choice for the AP600 application.
INEL's experience indicates that although the quick opening valve operated successfully for the LOFT experiments, this valve requires other components including other valves in the hydraulic lines for control.
These additional valves would also require resources for inspection, testing, and maintenance actions over the 60 year life of the system. These other SEPTEMBER 24, 1993 ENCLOSURE C
2 valves would also contribute-to system unreliability; however, the level of impact would require evaluation.
l l
The visitors stated that the investigation on AP600 ADS valves is a continuing effort and discussions with other valve experts will be conducted.

Office of Enforcement Items of Interest Week Ending September 24, 1993 Sionificant Enforcement Actions A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $50,000 was issued on September 20, 1993 to the Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (Millstone Units 1, 2, and 3). The action was based on two violations associated with the licensed operator requalification program which have been collectively classified as a Severity Level III problem. The first' violation involves the facility licensee's failure to ensure that individual. licensed operators completed all necessary aspects of the requalification program which is a condition of the licensed operators' licenses. The second violation involves the failure over the past six years of the licensee's Nuclear Review Board to comprehensively audit the licensed operator qualification /
requalification programs as required by the Technical Specifications despite the fact that during 1991 and 1992 the NRC found the requalification program for Unit I to be unsatisfactory. A civil penalty equal to the base civil penalty of $50,000 is proposed after offsetting escalation for NRC identification with mitigation for corrective actions.
(EN 93-092)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $125,000 was issued on September 21, 1993 to the Commonwealth Edison Company (Quad Cities Units 1 and 2). The action was based on the violations identified as a result of the followup of the bursting of a rupture disc in the Unit 1 High Pressure Coolant Injection System during testing conducted on June 9, 1993. During the event five workers were contaminated and injured by the resulting steam release. The violations which involved the licensee's failure to take corrective actions for conditions that existed prior to the test, the failure to follow procedures, and an inadequate procedure have been classified as a Severity Level III problem. The base civil penalty of $50,000 has been escalated a total of 150 percent after finding escalation appropriate based on NRC identification of the problems and the licensee's past poor performance.
(EN 93-093)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in the amount of $25,000 was issued on September 23, 1993 to St. Joseph Radiology Associates, Inc., and Joseph L. Fisher, M.D., St. Joseph, Missouri. The action was based on the abandonment of licensed material contained in a teletherapy unit and noncompliance with a Commission order. The Department of Energy retained the services of a contractor to remove the material after Dr. Fisher declared it to be abandoned. The staff submitted this action for Commission review in SECY-93-248 and the staff was directed to issue the action via SRM dated September 21, 1993.
(EN 93-095)
Civil Penalties Paid:
The Environmental Protection Agency Laboratory, Port Orchard, Washington, paid the civil penalty in the amount of $1000. The action was based on a level III problem involving proper disposal of licensed material (two 20 mci Nickel-63 and two 250 mci Tritium gas chromatograph sources), failure to conduct periodic inventories of licensed material, inadequate control of licensed SEPTEMBER 24, 1993 ENCLOSURE K
material in storage, and inadequate training of personnel working in restricted areas. The $500 base civil penalty for the Level III problem was escalated 100 percent for prior opportunity to identify the violations.
(EA f
93-181)
Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota paid the civil penalty in the amount of
$6,000. This action was based on the willful failure of a researcher to perform contamination surveys when working with phosphorous-32. As a result, contamination was spread offsite to a church, private automobiles, clothing, and homes. A second violation involved inadequate surveys to detect the extent of off-site contamination.

Shoreham Fuel Shioment On September 22, 1993, the State of New Jersey attempted to obtain a temporary Restraining Order in Federal court to prohibit the Long Island Power Authority from shipping the slightly irradiated fuel from Shoreham Nuclear Power Station to Philadelphia Electric Company's (PEco) Limerick Nuclear Generating Station.
The court refused the request and preparations for the first shipment continued. Two Region I specialists (one health physicist and one security specialist), and two transportation specialists from HMSS, were on site reviewing the licensee's activities.
Region I will cover the start of the shipment and an intermediate transfer point.
The first 17 fuel assemblies will leave the Shoreham site in a spent fuel cask mounted on a barge.
The cask will be transferred to a rail car at PECo's non-nuclear generating station at Eddystone, PA for transport to the Limerick station.
A total of 33 shipments will be required to transport the fuel during the next year.
Region I will periodically review the licensee's activities during the fuel transportation campaign.

3.
Florida Power and Licht Company - St. Lucie At the St. Lucie site, environmental conditions this summer have produced an unusually large number of aurelia aurita jellyfish (approximately ten-inch diameter).
St. Lucie Unit I was manually tripped on three separate occasions (September 18, 20, and 22, 1993) due to a large influx of the iellyfish which clogged the circulating water traveling screens.
The unit will remain in hot standby until at least September 24 to perform maintenance activities.
Subsequently, the jellyfish situation will be evaluated to determine when Unit I will be returned to service. St. Lucie Unit 2 has reduced power to 60 percent to limit jellyfish accumulation.
The circulating water intake configuration differences between the units results in less jellyfish entering into the Unit 2 circulating water traveling screens.
3.

2.
LaSalle The Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) sent to investigate the September 14 loss of offsite power (LOOP) to Unit I held a public eait meeting on September 21, 1993. The team concluded that the LOOP was initiated when a ground in a surge protection circuit caused the loss of the System Auxiliary Transformer. The resulting voltage transient caused a feedwater control valve to close because its controller was in a degraded condition (it was scheduled to be replaced the following week).
The unit scrammed on low reactor water level causing a loss of the other offsite power source. The team's concerns included the licensee's preventive maintenance and corrective action programs.
3.
