l The audit team found no discrepancies. Several minor deficiencies were noted and recommendations made to management for resolution. The Manager, Nuclear Safeguards and the Supervisor, Nuclear Material Control took cor-rective actions on the improvement items and responded to the recommen-dations in a timely manner.

I l S. 85205 - Facility Operation and Internal Controls The inspector reviewed the licensee's FhMCP and appropriate procedures on l storage and internal control of special nuclear material (SNM) applicable for the seven material balance areas (MBA's) and six item control areas (ICA's).

The licensee maintains a current perpetual inventory for both the facility as a whole and for each MBA and ICA. All stored materials were identified by measured SNM quantities and enrichments.

t I It was determined that the licensee had properly prepared and maintained  !

control of SNM transfer documents. The inspector reviewed all of the MBA l

and ICA SNM transfer documents issued in the physical inventory period of November 9, 1984 - January 11, 1985 for number of items, quantity of SNM transferred, location, timeliness, and signatures of the authorized cus- ,

todians/ delegates involved in the transfer. The values were cross-checked i to the central record system and verified to the physical inventory recon-ciliation for the period ending January 11, 1985. No discrepancies were noted.

The licensee's system of tamper-safing containers was maintained and followed. Type E metal seals and pressurized paper seals were used on items for tamper-safing. The seals and logs were controlled and accounted for by the authorized custodians. Two authorized persons attest to the appiteation of seals.

6. 85207 - Measurement Systems As a vertf tcation of the licensee's engineering calculations, used for inventory measurements on sectioned elements, twelve samples were obtained by the inspector to be sent to NBL for analysis. On completion of the analyses by NBL, a comparison evaluation will be made. Inspector Fol-low-Up Item (85-11-01).
