EN CLOSU RE (1)
REPLY TO APPENDIX A OF NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/84-20; 50-318/84-20 We have reviewed the circumstances ' that led to the apparent violation of
-10 CFR 71.101(b), '.' Quality Assurance Requirements", requiring each licensee to establish a Quality Assurance Program for transport packages in accordance with the applicable criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
This inspection report indicated that we failed to comply with 10 CF R 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, requiring the licensee to establish a receipt inspection program for radioactive material transport packages and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, CriterionII, requiring that the licensee identify the structures, systems, and components to be covered by a Quality Assurance Program. Accordingly, the corrective
. action cited below has been or will be implemented to ensure that similar violations will not occur in the future.
. Transport packages used for shipm ents of radioactive waste have always been inspected for. com pliance. with transportation and burial site criteria prior to use.
These inspections have been conducted by qualified personnel under the direction of the Supervisor-Materials. Processing and verified by ; Quality Control personnel. In addition, receipt inspections of High Integrity Containers and shielded shipping casks are now documented in accordance with established; Company procedures for receiving. safety-related material.
Quality Assurance Procedure (Q AP)-3, Radioactive W aste, has always stated that radioactive waste activities, including those involving rad-waste package materials, must be controlled.
This procedure lists the responsibilities, lower level procedures, and training requirements that are needed to implement a radioactive material package progra m.
To resolve any ambiguities, Q AP-3 and other associated procedures will be revised by O ctober 1, - 1985, to more clearly state how radioar*ive waste m aterial packaging is to be controlled.
' As an interim measure, personnel responsible for radioactive waste material packaging have been reinstructed to use applicable 10 CFR 50, A ppendix B, criteria when processing radioactive waste material packages.
