Scope
The inspection was conducted in accordance with PI-9100. . The
a.
last full SNM control inspection was conducted in March, 1972.
This inspection covered the period from January 1, 1972 thru
~~~
,;
June 30, 1974.
b.
A special inspection was conducted on November 29, 1973, to
gather burnup/ production data for use in a proposed BNWL pro-
cedure. Since the burnup/ production data for Oyster Creek was
examined at that time (See Report 73-20), this area was not
included in the current inspection scope.
3.
Discussion of Findings
a.
Physical Inventories.
The licensee has conducted the following
,.
JIMN
recent physical inventories:
(1) Reactor Core. Inventoried on May 16, 1972, May 16, 1973,
and May 21, 1974, incident to refueling outages.
(2) Spent Fuel Pool.
Inventoried on January 28, 1974 and
August 1, 1974.
(3) New Fuel Vault. Not recently inventoried. New fuel was
i
initially placed in the vault in March,1974.
A physical
inventory is required prior to April, 1975.
(4) Miscellaneous _ Fuel Pins.
The licensee holds about twelve
fuel pins resulting f rom on-sito reconstitution in 1972.
They have been inventoried on July 10, 1972 and January 15,
1973, but were omitted from the inventory of the MBA on
January 28, 1974.
The licensee was, therefoto, found to
be in violation of 10 CFR 70.51(d).

b.
Written SNM Control Procedures:
$
..h
Site Operating Procedure 1002 covers procedures for the
h* -
(1)
,
-l
control of SNM. These procedures were revised and
reissued in April, 1973. The written procedures appear
to satisfy the broad requirement of 10 CFR 70.51 and
j
the procedures are being carried out as written.
,
f
(2) As of the inspection date, the Technical Supervisor (who
is responsible for SNM control) had not yet seen a copy
j
of ANSI Standard N15.8 and Regulatory Guide 5.29 on NMC
Systems for Nuclear Power Plants. The licensee was
j
advised to obtain copies of these documents and it'Was
recommended that their written procedures be reviewed
l
a,
-
against this new criteria.
c.
Records and Reports
(1) All SNM control records for the period of inspection were
reviewed and found to be acceptable.
Forms AEC-741,
.
'
Material Transaction Reports, are being properly adminis-
tered.
E9%
(2) One possible discrepancy was noted in the licensee's
Material Status Reports for the period.
In August, 1972,
General Electric (the fuel supplier) issued transaction
documents YLJ-YHA-7 and 8 which cancelled the SNM values
previously gifen in transaction 1-6 and substituted new
values to be used.
The licensee entered the difference
'l
as a correction to receipts on his Material Status Report
for the second half of 1972.
The audit of these trans-
actions by the AEC inspector indicates that the correction
values for U-235 were in error. The licensee agreed to
our request that he review the transactions involved and,
if found necessary, revise their next MSR to make it
match the results of the AEC audit.
