The Severity Levels were assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

1. License Condition 2.1 of Safeguards Amendment No. MPP-3 to Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-1097 requires the licensee to follow the current revision of their Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan. Section 6.6 of that plan requires the licensee to prepare and distribute 00E/NRC-741 nuclear material transaction reports in accordance with the published instructions for the report. The published instructions, NUREG/BR-0006, require the licensee to enter limits of error (95% confidence interval) on __ _

DOE /NRC-741 forms.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to correctly calculate limits of error which were entered on DOE /NRC-741 forms for shipments of uranium dioxide pellets. The licensee applied incorrect parameters to the limit of error calculations which resulted in limits of error being reported that wara not determined at the 95% confidence level.

Similar violations were disclosed during inspections conducted July 25-29, 1983 (reported in Inspection Report No. 70-1113/83-21), and April 2-6, 1984

. (reported in Inspection Report- No. 70-1113/84-06). The licensee's 1 corrective actions for these violations were not adequately implemented to prevent recurrence. This is a repeat violation.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement III).

2. 10 CFR 70.57(b)(12) requires the licensee to establish a record system which allows for the efficient retrieval of program data. The licensee was notified by NMSS on May 14, 1984, that efficient retrieval meant retrieval within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for all measurement control data generated during the last 12 months.

Contrary to the above, as of August 10, 1984, he licensee could not retrieve measurement control data associated with the random analytical (isotopi:)

error calculation for uranium dioxide pellet shipments which was requested by the inspector on August 1, 1984. The data requested was generated by an agent of the licensee within the last 12 months.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement III). * .
