Base One measure of licensecs' control of regulated AEOD collects, reviews, and codes nuclear materials is the ability to limit the dose received materials event information reported by NRC by monitored employees. Materials licensees are licensees and Agreement States. Approximately required to monitor all employees who work with, 7(XX) NRC licensees and 15,(XX) Agreement State or may be present in the vicinity of, nuclear licenses submit reports of events, as required by materials and who have the potential for radiation Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 exposure. Licensees are also required to monitor CFR), comparable Agreement State regulations, and control activities that can lead to exposing or license conditions. (Licensees also voluntarily their employees or the general public to radiation. submit reports of events that are not required to be reported. Voluntary reports are not considered Lost or stolen radioactive materials sometimes when evaluating operating experience and are lead to unintended personnel exposures. therefore not meluded in this annual report.)

The system is scheduled to be operational and performance problems. The results of the in the first quarter of CY 1995, it will be staff's event reviews are coded in the tracking accessible NRC-wide through AUTOS and by system. A two-tier review process provides Agreement States through remote a complete and consistent review.13ased on this communication link. review, the staff also identified future study topics, some of which are discussed in Section 4.3. 4.1.4 Planned Improvements in the Collection of Operational Experience In 1993 AEOD staff participated, along with the Regional Agreement States Officers,in the Consistent, complete, and timely event reporting Annua! Program Review of the States of from Agreement States is crucial to the successful Tennessee and Texas. AEOD's participation implementation of the NMED. Timely reporting focused on the States' event collection and review of events by Agreement States in a format that is process. AEOD staff gained a better compatible with the data base is essential to understanding of the States' efforts and the States ensuring a complete and viable materials event came to appreciate the NRC's need for complete information base. There was improved and timely collection of event reports, and the cooperation between the NRC and Agreement NRC process for identifying potential AOs and States in 1993, which is expected to continue. The other significant events. NRC will also consider establishing standards for event reporting by the use of a standard report 4.3 Feedback of Nuclear Materials form, where applicable, and will examine licensee Experience reporting requirements to determine if regulatory guidance for reporting is needed. On their part, Between 1981 and 1993 AEOD issued 8 Case Agreement States should ensure prompt reporting Studies,50 Engineering Evaluations,4 special of events. There ts a need for all events to be studies, and 2 videotapes (see Appendix C). reported soon after they occur, and also a need Videotapes have proven to be a particularly for event information to be consistent with the effective method for feedback of lessons learned information attributes of the NMED.

In 1993 AEOD implemented a formal process to review nuclear materials operating experience in a l timely manner. A computerized Event Tracking 4.4 Abnormal Occurrences System was implemented to log incoming licensee event reports (prompt notifications via telephone AEOD continued to fulfill the NRC's statutory as well as written reports), preliminary obligation to report AOs to Congress by l notifications, and inspection reports. The AEOD preparing and publishing the quarterly Report to i NUREG-1272, Section 4 18

The NRC relied upon the Test, Research and Training Reactor (TRTR) Committee to investigate and report on significant in 1993 there was improved cooperation between events. Ilowever, several events at university the NRC and Agreement States in identifying and reactors in 1992 raised questions about their reporting AOs at Agreement State-licensed overall management and safety. Therefore,in facilities. The States either identified potential 1993 AEOD began a survey of the past five years AOs during their routine reviews and submitted of TRTR operating experience including operating write-ups to the NRC, or provided the events, inspection findings, feedback to the TRTR information on potential AOs in response to NRC community, NRC feedback of lessons learned, and requests. NRC enforcement actions. The purpose of this survey is to provide an independent assessment of 4.4.2 Abnormal Occurrence Criteria-the safety performarce of TRTRs, to assess the Revision of the AO Policy Statement adequacy of the feedback of operating experience within the TRTR community, to provide insights AEOD initiated efforts to develop a policy into safety practices at TRTRs and to identify statement for AO reporting to use objective recommendations for improvement if needed. criteria to identify events as AOs and Appendix C items, so that only events significant to public The staff is currently reviewing operational data health and safety are reported. An interoffice pertaining to TRTRs, augmented by site visits to working group was established for this purpose. assess the safety performance of the non-power The final draft policy statement is due to the reactor facilities.

Table 6.1 shows the point for communicating with NRC licensees, as distribution of these events. well as State and Federal agencies, about operating events in the commercial nuclear sector. Four of these notifications, all at fuel facilities. The Operations Center is staffed 24 hours a day were for events classified as emergencies. Three by an NRC Headquarters Operations Officer, of them were "Notificiations of Unusual Event." who is trained to receive, evaluate, and respond to The only " Alert",was for a fire at the Nuclear Fuel events reported to the Operations Center. Services facility m Envin, Tennessee (see Table 6.2). No " Site Area Emergencies, occurred. Actions taken by the NRC operations officer in response to these notifications ranged from In 1993 the NRC Operations Center received 216 making a log entry and the appropriate notifications of events related to nuclear notifications, to establishing emergency materials. These included 44 fuel facility,3 conference calls with the NRC Incident Response nonpower reactor,44 hospital,18 transportation, staff, the licensee, and senior NRC regional and 39 radioactive material, and 68 miscellaneous headquarters staff members.

Action Source: IIT Report on " Inadvertent Shipment of a Radiographic Source from Korea to Amersham Corporation, Burlington, Massachusetts," NUREG-1405, dated May 1990 (Reference 1). Item 6: Adequacy of Reporting Requirements Action: Evaluate whether NRC and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations should be amended to include the requirement to report the receipt of shipments of radioactive materials that were improperly prepared, labeled, identified, or classified, or had improper contents. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing On August 13,1990, the NRC requested that DOT provide comments on the need for a requirement for consignees to report improperly labeled or prepared packages upon receipt. The staff evaluated NRC and DOT reporting requirements (Reference 2) and concluded that requiring licensees to report all mislabeled or misidentified packages would require both licensees and the NRC staff to expend significant resources for problems that are of little or no safety concern. However, the staff also concluded that the NRC should be informed and should respond to any situation similar to the Amersham incident. The NRC staff determined that because the new 10 CFR Part 20 requirements will only apply to labeled or damaged packages, the previous situation in which Amersham received a cropped source in a package thought to be empty may not be covered. The NMSS staff recommended to RES that Section 20.906 of 10 CFR Part 20 be amended to require licensees to notify the NRC if the licensee determines that it has received an unlabeled package containing radioactive materials that should have been labeled in accordance with DOT requirements (Reference 3). 1 NUREG-1272, Appendix E

(Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) On August 13,1990, the NRC requested that DOT provide comments on this issue. DOT completed its initial investigation on July 30,1991. NRC licensees, in NRC Information Notice 90-56 (Reference 4), were informed of the need to comply with DOT import and i export requirements. If appropriate, the NRC will notify licensees of the DOT investigation findings in a supplemental Information Notice. The responsible office considers this item resolved. Action:(b) Pending the results of Action Item 9(a), initiate action to ensure that Amersham has taken appropriate corrective measures to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information provided to forwarding agents. (Responsible Office: RI) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) DOT issued a proposed Notice of Violation to Amersham on July 31,1991. Amersham [ has since requested a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. However, based on a review of the DOT investigation, NMSS and RI concluded that Amersham has taken the appropriate corrective measures. The responsible office considers this item resolved.

Nuclear Materials-Staff Actions Action Source: IIT Report on General Electric Nuclear Fuels and Component Manufacturing Facility (GE-Wilmington) Potential Criticality Event of May 29,1991 (References 1,2,3). Item 1: Adequacy of Criticality Safety Reviews Action:(a) Evaluate existing regulatory requirements, guidance, and review standards for criticality safety analyses of fuel facility licensees to modify processes, procedures, and facilities and to develop new regulatory guidance, requirements, and review standards (Responsible Office: NMSS/RES) Disposition: Ongoing In February 1992, the NMSS Materials Regulatory Review Task Force issued its report, NUREG-1324," Proposed Method for Regulating Major Materials Licensees," evaluating these and other weaknesses in the fuel facilities regulatory requirements, guidance, and review standards. After collecting and reviewing public comments on NUREG-1324, staff of the NMSS Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards developed an action plan (SECY-93-128) that presented an integrated approach to revamping the regulations and guidance for fuel facility licensing, and developed a standard review plan (SRP) for license reviews. As stated in SECY-93-128, NMSS is taking a fresh look at the fuel cycle regulatory, licensing, and inspection programs, emphasizing activities that will offer the greatest and/or near-term safety benefit without placing undue burden on the licensees. Among the principal products of the effort will be a major revision of 10 CFR Part 70 and its supporting regulatory guidance, and issuance of a review standard in the form of an SRP. The review will require performance of an integrated safety analysis (ISA) for the initial application and, as appropriate, reanalysis to support amendment of the application or a 10 CFR 50.59-type process. Criticality safety is one aspect to be analyzed by the ISA. These activities supersede the recommendation to consider separate action on criticality safety provided in the February 1993 task force report. The expected completion date is August 31,1994. Action:(b) Evaluate the use of safety operating specifications for radiation and nuclear safety instruments and controls. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing The staff has evaluated and rejected establishment of criteria for fuel facility structures, systems, and components important to safety. The staff has evaluated a requirement for licensees to include in their applications technical specifications for nuclear safety instrumentation and controls. Instead, the staff intends to address radiation and nuclear safety instruments and controls in the same manner as other safety-related structures, systems, and components. Specifically, the staff is involved in the planned revision to 10 CFR Part 70 and accompanying standard format and content guidance for fuel cycle facility license applications. It is expected that the planned revision to 10 CFR Part 70 will require licensees to perform ISAs. These ISAs will allow determination of defects or failures to comply which could create substantial safety hazards. Once the ISAs are in place, licenses will have NRC-approved analyses to ensure that changes to facility operations do not introduce new risks that have not been evaluated by the NRC staff. 3 NUREG-1272, Appendix E
AEOD Annual Report, &% . He licensing project manager and the inspection staff will ensure that a licensee does not significantly change its ISA process without NRC approval, and that the tool is used on an ongoing basis to evaluate any changes to the operations. The rule nll make clear ' that licensees can make changes to the facility, including plant operations and equipment, without prior Commission approval, only under certain limited conditions that involve no additional risk. This rulemaking and associated guidance will address management control and oversight of safety-related equipment and procedures, including assurance of reliability and availability, human factors aspects, and training regarding safety significance and deviations from the licensee's safety basis standard. This staff action has been included in the action plan in SECY-93-128. The expected completion date is August 31,1994. Action:(c) Evaluate the need to change the licensing practice of incorporating a license condition by reference in fuel facility licenses. Ensure that the resultant licensing practice is mutually understood by all involved in the process. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing The staff has been working with the fuel facility licensees during the amendment and I renewal processes to include greater specificity in the commitments on their applications. The revamping of the regulations and guidance for fuel facility licensing, discussed in-1(a) above, will specifically address the information to be included in Part I of the application. The expected completion date is August 31,1994. Action: (d)- Evaluate the existing NRC programs and develop new guidance for the inspection of changes to criticality safety controls at fuel fabrication facilities. (Responsible Office: i NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will evaluate the existing NRC programs for the inspection of changes to i criticality safety controls at fuel fabrication facilities. This evaluation will include a i review of Regulatory Guide 3.52, " Standard Format and Content for the Health and l Safety Sections of L.icense Renewal Applications for Uranium Processing and Fuel - Fabrication," and Inspection Manual Chapter 2600, " Fuel Cycle Facility Operational Safety Inspection Program" including Inspection Procedures 88015, " Criticality Safety," and 88025, " Operations Review." These documents will be revised as appropriate after the evaluation is completed. In addition, the evaluations will include the reviews and evaluations associated with NUREG-1324, mentioned in Item 1(a) above. He NRC expects that inspector training will be provided under Action 1(e) below. Expected completion date is September 30,1994. Action:(e) Evaluate the adequacy of NRC training and qualification programs to effectively support j criticality safety inspections at fuel facilities, and develop enhancements to the training l program. (Responsible Office: NMSS/AEOD) i Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) A criticality safety training program for NRC inspectors has been developed under contract and made part of the curriculum of the NRC's Technical Training Center. He program was given for the first time in June 1993. The responsible office considers this j item resolved. j NUREG-1272, Appendix E 4 P -m
~- ~ - _ _ Wudiesi?N Action:(f) Evaluate General Electric's (GE) response to the IIT report with respect to the site-specific corrective actions. Include in this evaluation the adequacy of(1) the current license, (2) the Facility Change Request process and its implementation, and (3) the criticality safety margins. (Responsible Office: NMSS/RII) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) The staff evaluated GE's response to the IIT report with respect to the site-specific corrective actions. This evaluation included the adequacy of the current license, the facility change request process and its implementation, and criticality safety margins. The NRC conducted inspections to verify that adequate corrective actions have been taken. The responsible office considers this item resolved. Item 2: Adequacy of Facility Operational Safety Action:(a) Upgrade existing inspection guidance related to management controls and oversight, including audits, personnel training, and procedure adequacy and compliance for major materials licensees. (Responsible Office: NMSS/RES) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will evaluate the existing inspection guidance related to management controls and oversight, including audits, personnel training, and procedural adequacy and compliance for major mMerials licensees. This evaluation will include guidance presently found in Inspection Maml Cnapters 2600 and 2800. In addition, the reviews associated with NUREG-1324, mentioned in Item 1(a) above, will be included in this evaluation. If the evaluation determines that new guidance is appropriate, the NRC will issue new guidance. The expected completion date is September 30,1994. Action:(b) Determine the need for regulatory requirements, guidance, and standard review plans regarding management controls and oversight, including audits, personnel training, and procedural adequacy and compliance for major materials licensees. Conduct reviews or inspections at selected licensees to collect additional information on management controls and practices. If necessary, on the basis of these assessments, develop new guidance, requirements, and standards as appropriate. (Responsible Office: NMSS/RES/NRR) Disposition: Ongoing NUREG-1324 placed considerable emphasis on improving licensees' management controls because past accidents can be traced directly to breakdowns in these controls. The staff has allocated FY94 funds for a contract to develop a guidance document, for j licensees and applicants, in the form of a NUREG report on modern organizational control theory and practice, and the role of management control in ensuring the safety of operations. It is intended that the contractor report will present management control systems in detail, because the breakdown of these systems has allowed development of conditions adverse to safety. In addition, the planned revision to 10 CFR Part 70, discussed in 1(a) above, will include requirements for management controls and oversight. These requirements are being addressed in detail in the SRP for review of applications for fuel cycle facility licenses both in general and in chapters on specific topics, such as, nuclear criticality safety. The Standard Format and Content Guidance, derived directly from the SRP, will convey the details to the licenses. An NMSS task l 5 NUREG-1272, Appendix E
AEOD Annual Report,1993 force produced the rough draft of the SRP, which is being further developed in parallel with the revision of 10 CFR Part 70. The expected completion date is August 31,1994. Action:(c) Examine the overall inspection process for monitoring and collecting fuel facility safety performance information. Include in the evaluation the merits of(1) a resident inspector program:(2) more frequent inspections, including use of team inspections; (3) establishment of a systematic performance appraisal and feedback program analogous to the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for 10 CFR Part 50 licensees. (Responsible Office: NMSS/NRR) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will examine the overall inspection process for monitoring and collecting fuel facility safety performance information. This examination includes the merits of (1) a resident inspector program:(2) more frequent inspections, including the use of team inspections; and (3) establishment of a systematic performance appraisal and feedback program analogous to the SALP program for 10 CFR Part 50 licensees. In addition, the reviews associated with NUREG-1324, mentioned in Item la above, will be included in this examination. The expected completion date is September 30,1994. Actiom (d) Evaluate the adequacy of the NRC training and qualification programs to effectively support fuel cycle facility inspections and to develop enhancements to the training program. (Responsible Office: NMSS/AEOD) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) A training course, title " Fuel Cycle Technology (H-107)" was presented in FY 1992. This 5-day course provided an overview of the nuclear fuel cycle. Course topics included uranium mining and milling; uranium conversion, including dry and wet processes; uranium enrichment, including gaseous diffusion, gas centrifuge, and atomic vapor laser isotope separation: and uranium fuel fabrication and scrap recovery. The course was developed by the Technical Training Center through a contract for technical assistance through NMSS. The course has been revised to incorporate feedback from the pilot course. Additionally, a Fuel Cycle and Materials Training Advisory Group has been formed. This advisory group will continue to evaluate the adequacy of NRC training programs to effectively support criticality safety and fuel cycle facility inspections. The responsible office considers this item resolved. Item 3: Adequacy of Emergency Preparedness Action:(b) Reevaluate the adequacy of the GE fuels facility Radiological Contingency and Emergency Plan (RCEP) and implementing procedures for emergency planning and event classification and notifications. Ensure that the RCEP and implementing l procedures are revised as necessary. (Responsible Office: NMSS/Ril) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) By letter dated January 17,1992, GE submitted an amended application, dated December 28,1991, to update its RCEP. From January to September 1992 GE submitted i several draft applications, and several meetings and telephone conference calls were held NUREG-1272, Appendix E 6
i i between GE, Region II, and the NMSS staff. On October 2,1992, GE resubmitted the amendment application to incorporate all changes agreed to by GE, Region II, and NMSS staff. This amendment application replaced the submittal of January 17,1992, in its entirety. It was later supplemented by a submittal dated October 26,1992. On October 29,1992, the NRC issued License Amendment No. 27 authorizing GE to implement the RCEP changes. A routine inspection in October 1992 included evaluation of the annual emergency response exercise and detailed review of the RCEP implementing procedures. No exercise weaknesses or program deficiencies were identified. The responsible office considers this item resolved. Item 4: Adequacy of Operating Experience Reviews Action:(a) Reevaluate regulatory requirements and guidance for event reporting for fuel facilities as related to potential criticalities and failed contingencies (barriers). Develop additional guidance and requirements as appropriate. (Responsible Office: NMSS/RES/AEOD) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) The staff is continuing to reevaluate the regulatoy requirements and guidance for event reporting for fuel facilities as related to potential criticalities and failed contingencies (barriers). On October 18,1991, the staff issued NRC Bulletin 91-01, " Reporting Loss of Criticality Safety Controls." The bulletin requested that licensees evaluate their criticality safety criteria and procedures, modify them as appropriate to assure that events involving degradation of controls will promptly be evaluated and reported to licensee management and the NRC as appropriate, and provide a description of their criteria and procedures to the NRC. Supplement 1 to NRC Bulletin 91-01, published on July 27,1993, clarified which events need to be reported within 4 hours, and which could be reported within 24 hours. The responsible office considers this item resolved. Action:(b) Reevaluate NRC operating experience review and feedback program for fuel facilities. Revise the program as appropriate. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will reevaluate the NRC operating experience review and feedback program for fuel facilities. After completing the evaluation, the staff will revise the program as appropriate. The expected completion date is September 30,1994. Action:(c) Develop NRC inspection guidance for licensee event reporting and reviews for fuel facilities. Issue new guidance as appropriate. (Responsible Office: NMSS/AEOD) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will evaluate the need to develop NRC inspection guidance for licensee event reporting and reviews for fuel facilities and will issue new guidance. This evaluation will primarily include the guidance presently in Inspection Manual Chapter 2600, " Fuel Cycle Facility Operational Safety Inspection Program." The expected completion date is September 30,1994. Action:(d) Extend the independent NRC operating experience program to nuclear fuel fabrication j facilities. Examine the existing operating experience review program for other licensee 7 NUREG-1272, Appendix E
groups not in the scope of AEOD activities. Revise the program as appropriate. (Responsible Office: AEOD) Disposition: Ongoing AEOD currently reviews reports from fuel fabrication facilities as well as inspection reports to obtain information on operating events. The NRC is revising the reporting threshold. New reporting requirements (10 CFR Part 70 revision and the bulletin on criticality reports) will provide additional information to identify precursors. The NRC (contractor) will visit fuel fabrication plants and audit licensee internal event reviews for adequacy. The audit will also include an evaluation of the adequacy of reporting requirements to provide NRC with the information necessary to assess important safety significant events. AEOD reviews event reports and inspection reports for all licensee groups licensed by the NRC. Efforts are currently underway to obtain reports of events from Agreement States on a timely basis so that they can be added to the operating experience base. This program wa:; begun in late 1991. AEOD will review Agreement State data, in conjunction with non-Agreement State data, to determine whether the AEOD review program needs revision to include classes of licensees that exist only in Agreement States. The full implementation of this item requires completion of Action 4a and implementation of reporting ofincidents pursuant to 10 CFR Part 70 and agreements with the Office of State Programs. The expected completion date is September 30,1994.

(Reference 1) Item 1: Adequacy of Oncology Services Radiation Protection Program Action la: Review by Oncology Services Corporation (OSC) corrective actions in response to the finding ofineffectiveness of the radiation safety program. (Responsible Office: RI) Disposition: Ongoing In a letter dated September 13,1993, OSC requested a relaxation of the NRC order to obtain high dose-rate scaled sources for two facilities. In addition,in a letter dated September 20,1993, OSC requested authorization to perform patient treatments. Finally, in letters dated September 17, and October 4,1993, OSC requested individual licenses for all six facilities. Region I sent a deficiency letter dated November 1,1993, stating that OSC's request would not be considered until the order affecting all six facilities was relaxed. The staff is currently reviewing the licensee's response in a letter dated December 7,1993. A meeting with the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) was held on January 27,1994, to identify the issues for future litigation, and to determine whether to combine the license suspension actions for OSC and Dr. Bauer, the authorized user at Indiana Regional Cancer Center, during the November 1992 misadministration. The ASLB will issue an order establishing a schedule for actions leading to a hearing. The expected completion date was February 11,1994. Action Ib: Evaluate whether NRC regulations and guidance need to be modified to explicitly define the functions and responsibilities of the radiation safety officer and the authorized user. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing A task force of NMSS, regional, and Agreement State representatives for development of a NUREG report for radiation safety officers met during September and December 1993 and is scheduled to again meet from January 31 through February 2,1994. Additionally, the staff will evaluate the need to further define and provide guidance on the responsibilities of the authorized user. This issue will be addressed during a major revision of 10 CFR Part 35, scheduled for completion in December 1997. The project was also discussed with the Advisory Committee on Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI) at the November 1993 meeting. At that time, the ACMUI requested a copy of the draft NUREG report for review and discussion at its May 1994 meeting. In addition, the draft report will undergo a peer review during the March to April 1994 time frame. As a result of the ACMUI request and the staff's decision on peer review, the due date for publication of the NUREG has been extended from June 30,1994, to September 30, 1994. The expected completion date is December 30,1997. Action Ic: Evaluate the performance and design of PrimAlert-10 Area Radiation Monitors (ARMS) and take appropriate followup action. (Responsible Office: NMSS/ Regions) Disposition: Ongoing NUREG-1272, Appendix E 10
The staff wrote to Victorcen, the manufacturer, and requested an evaluation of the potential for non-ionizing radiation fields or electromagnetic fields (associated with linear accelerators) to cause spurious alarms by the PrimAlert-10 ARM, as well as similar models used by medical licenses (such as the PrimAlert-50 ARM). Victorcen responded to the staff's letter in October 1993. The staffintends to forward a second letter to Victorcen by February 15,1994, to seek additional information regarding guidance for licensee event reporting and reviews for fuel facilities, and will issue new guidance as appropriate. The staff's evaluation will primarily include the guidance presently in Inspection Manual Chapter 2600, " Fuel Cycle Facility Operational Safety Inspection Program." In addition, NMSS will develop a Temporary Instruction for the Regions to review the operation and reliability of PrimAlert ARMS as part of the routine inspection program. The staff will evaluate the information compiled by the Regions as well as the manufacturer's response and, if appropriate, will issue an Information Notice to licensees. The expected completion date is September 30,1994. Action:(1) Extend the independent NRC operating experience program to nuclear fuel fabrication facilities. Examine the existing operating experience review program for other licensee groups not in the scope of AEOD activities. Revise the program as appropriate. (Responsible Office: AEOD) Disposition: Ongoing AEOD currently reviews reports from fuel fabrication facilities, as well as inspection reports, to obtain information on operating events. The NRC is revising the reporting threshold. New reporting requirements defined in the forthcoming 10 CFR Part 70 revision and the bulletin on criticality reports will provide additional information to identify precursors. The NRC (contractor) will visit fuel fabrication plants and audit licensee internal event reviews for adequacy. The audit will also include an evaluation the adequacy of instrument response at the high-energy spectrum. In addition, the staff will review the response to the second letter, as well as information developed by the Regions and, if appropriate, issue an Information Notice to licensees. The expected ate is April 29,1994. Item 2: Adequacy of NRC Protocols for Informing the Public and Authorities of Radiation Exposures Resulting from Licensed Activities. Action 2a: Evaluate the NRC's process for assessing exposures and consequences, and notifying individuals and authorities following an elevated exposure. (Responsible Office: NMSS/NRR/ Office of the General Counsel) Disposition: Ongoing The staff has developed guidance to address this recommendation for materiallicensees based on the experience of the Amersham source incident. This guidance was previously approved by the EDO; however, it is being revised to incorporate the lessons learned from the IIT, and will be issued as Inspection Manual Chapter 1302. The staff is in the process of resolving comments and expects to issue the manual chapter by February 28, 1994. Action 2b: Evaluate the need to further define licensee responsibility for assessing radiation exposure and notifying members of the public and authorities. (Responsible Office: NMSS/NRR) l l 11 NUREG-1272, Appendix E
Disposition: Ongoing The staff received guidance from OGC regarding the applicability of 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20 to licensees for assessing radiation exposure and notifying members of the public and authorities. 'Ihis guidance was forwarded to RES for incorporation into a final rule package on 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20. The final rule package was submitted to the EDO on December 17,1993, for his signature and for Commission review. The final rule makes minor clarifications to 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20 to make such reports required by Part 20. The expected completion date was March 31,1994. Item 3: Adequacy of Regulatory Oversight of Scaled Sources and Devices and Medical Licenses Action 3a: Evaluate the need to update licensing and inspection guidance and requirement for high-dose-rate afterloaders. (Responsible Office: NMSS/RES) Disposition: Ongoing The staff has undertaken several efforts with regard to evaluating the need to update licensing and specific guidance and regulations for high-dose-rate afterloaders. The staff revised Policy and Guidance Directive 86-4 to incorporate the requirements of the two bulletins. A Temporary Instruction was issued in September 1993 to provide guidance on routine inspection of high-dose-rate afterloaders. In addition, research efforts are continuing into quality assurance plans for remote afterloaders and human factors related to brachytherapy. RES will document the results of these various efforts into a user need memorandum to revise 10 CFR Part 35. The expected completion date for this memorandum is March 31,1995. The staff continues to monitor and evaluate contractors' findings regarding quality assurance and quality control and human factors research studies on remote afterloader procedures. NMSS and RES will document these findings in a final report to be issued on June 30,1994. The expected completion date to revise 10 CFR part 35 is December 31,1997. Action 3b: Evaluate the relative merits of a performance-based approach versus schooling or certification to verify the radiation safety knowledge of high-dose-rate afterloader users. (Responsible Office: NMSS/NRR) Disposition: Ongoing The staff will conduct an evaluation as requested, and continue to discuss this issue with the ACMUI. The staff will incorporate this issue into the user need memorandum described in 3a above, as appropriate. This issue was discussed with the ACMUI in May 1993, and will be discussed at future meetings. The ACMUI advised the staff that there are no simple methods or prescriptive requirements to determine if a physician has achieved the necessary competency to independently supervise the use of byproduct material for diagnosis or therapy. The ACMUI noted that the staff does not have statistical data to demonstrate that the current system is not working. However, the ACMUI did recommend a paradigm shift in the methods used by the NRC to access the adequacy of training and experience in order to remove the NRC from disputes between competing specialties within the medical NUREG-1272, Appendix E 12 l
~ ' EucMarWaVriaEs-staff Actions community. The paradigm shift would involve preceptoring by a qualified physician, attestation of the competency of the candidate by the preceptor, and independent testing on behalf of the NRC. The staff's plan to evaluate all current training and experience criteria will include a determination regarding the relative merits and resource costs of different training approaches to ensure adequate radiation safety knowledge of all users. These findings will be incorporated into the user need memorandum. Action 3c: Evaluate the licensing interface among the NRC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Agreement States for sealed sources and devices, including licensee requirements for design reviews and quality assurance and quality control. Develop a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDA to further clarify respective roles. (Responsible Office: NMSS/OSP/OGC) Disposition: Ongoing The staff reviewed the FDA's description of its regulatory review of devices such as the Omnitron 2000, and met with FDA staff to clarify the NRC/FDA interface agreement which was signed on August 26,1993. NMSS procedures for implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding were drafted and circulated for comment on October 15,1993. The procedures will be issued as an Inspection Manual Chapter by March 31, 1994. The staff will also review the interface between the NRC and the Agreement States with respect to approval of sealed sources and devices, and will make appropriate recommendations for improving the definition of that interface. Action 3d: Revise the inspection guidelines to trigger consideration for licensees whose programs have significantly expanded or changed. (Responsible Office: NMSS) Disposition: Ongoing A task force composed of headquarters and regional staff has been formulated and was scheduled to meet during February 1994 to make significant changes to the inspection guidance in Manual Chapter 2800, " Materials Inspection Program." Areas to be addressed include guidance on inspection of satellite facilities; field offices and temporary job sites; adjustment of inspection frequency based on performance; and emphasis on programs that have significantly expanded or changed. To provide guidance to license reviewers in advance of issuance of Inspection Manual Chapter 2800, the staff will issue a Policy and Guidance Directive by June 30,1994. This directive will provide criteria for licensee reviewers to use in determining if licensee's programs have significantly expanded or changed. The expected completion date is January 29,1995. Action 3e: For near-term, and where indicated, conduct inspections of licensees whose programs have significantly expanded or changed since the last routine inspection. (Responsible Office: NMSS/ Regions) Disposition: Ongoing The staff issued a memorandum to the Regions requesting that they poll the licensing staff to identify licensees whose programs (i.e., number of sites, scope of licensed activities, and/or possession limits) have significantly expanded or changed within the last two years. 13 NUREG-1272, Appendix E
AEOD Annual Report,1993 The Regions proposed a schedule for the conduct of inspections by March 31,1994. The expected completion date is May 9,1994. Item 4: Lack of guidance for nonradioactive waste collectors and brokers for handling highly radioactive material. Action: Evaluate the need for assisting the nonradioactive waste processing industry in establishing guidance for detecting, and obtaining expert assistance for handling, radioactive materials. (Responsible Office: NMSS/OSP) Disposition: Ongoing The staff has initiated efforts to prepare guidance. Specifically, the staff met with representatives from the Agreement States and the waste processing industry on June 29, 1993, to develop the guidance which will incorporate lessons learned from the IIT. During October 1993, the staff received diverse comments from the industry and Agreement States concerning its draft guidance. Addressing these comments resulted in a slip of the due date from January 31,1994, to March 31,1994. Two forms of guidance will be issued: (1) emergency response information to be distributed to facility workers, and (2) more detailed technical guidance for managers of waste processor facilities. The guidance will incorporate lessons learned from the IIT. The expected completion date is March 31,1994. Item 5: Cause of Source Wire Failure Action: Evaluate Southwest Research's final report on the source wire failure and document the findings. (Responsible Office: NMSS/OSP) Disposition: Resolved (Pending AEOD independent review) The staff received the final report from Southwest Research which confirmed the staff's hypothesis regarding the cause of the source-wire breakage. The contractor's final report was transmitted to the Commission via a memorandum dated October 27,1993. The responsible office considers this item resolved.

The annual report of the U.S. Nuc! car Regulatory Commission's Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AEOD)is devoted to the activities performed during 1993. The report is published in two separate parts. NUREG-1272, Vol. 8, No.1, covers power reactors and presents an overview of the operating experience of the nu-clear power industry from the NRC perspective, including comments about the trends of some key performance measures. The report also includes the principal findings and issues identified in AEOD studies over the past year and summarizes information from such sources as licensee event reports, diagnostic evaluations, and reports to the NRC's Operations Center. NUREG-1272, Vol. 8, No. 2, covers nuclear materials and presents a review of the events and concerns during 1993 associated with the use of licensed material in nonreactor applications, such as personnel overexposures and medical misadministrations. Note that the subtitle of No. 2 has been changed from "Nonreactors" to " Nuclear Materials." Both reports also contain a discussion of the Incident Investigation Team program and sum-marize both the Incident Investigation Team and Augmented Inspection Team reports. Each volume contains a list of the AEOD reports issued for 1981-1993.
