2. 30703 - Exit Interview The inspectors met with licensee representatives (listed in paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on June 21, 1985, and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection. At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspectors, i

3. 92713 - Independent Inspection Effort Independent inspection effort was conducted by a tour of the plant, during which the inspectors observed plant operations and personnel handling special nuclear material. No problems were noted.

4. 85207 - Measurement Systems The inspector reviewed the Windsor SNM Measurement Control-Audit / Review, dated December 20, 1984. The audf U losed out a (Iiiding of~the previous audit, dated January 10, 1984. Measurement standards are currently listed in a controlled document as indicated in the Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan (FNMCP). The December review identified seven weaknesses that are being pursued by the licensee. This will be reviewed by the NRC at a subsequent inspection. (Inspector Follow-Up Item 85-04-01).

The inspector observed the licensee sampling green scrap, grinder sludge, screened hard scrap, mixed UO, scrap, sintered pellets, ground pellets, and virgin VO, powder to be sent to their laboratory and their contrac-tors' laboratories for the U and U-235 analyses. Duplicato saeples were taken for the NRC, to be sont to the New Brunswir.k Laboratory, for inde- '

pondent analyses. On completion of the analyses by all the laboratories, a statistical evaluation will be made by the NRC inspector. This evalu- '

ation will determine the adequacy of the Itcensee's laboratory and their i contractors' laboratories. (Inspector Follow-up Item 85-04-02). '

5. 85215 - Records and Reports The inspector audited the nuclear material control records and reports for the low enriched uranium physical inventory material balance period September 7, 1984, through March 19, 1985. All line items on the SNM

, inventory report were traced by the inspector to the source documents and cross-checked to the records maintained by the licensee and to the DOE-NMMSS computer tabulations. The licensee's ledgers were add-checked for accuracy for the same period. Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (00E/NRC Form-741) that documented receipts, shipments, measured discards were reviewed for timeliness, format, and accuracy of content. No dis-crepancies were identified.

Material Status Reports (00E/NRC Form-742) submitted for the material balance period ending March 19, 1985 were also reviewed for the same '

l attributes. No discrepancies were identified.

l The inspector determined that the licensee's control and subsidiary records for the period under review were adjusted to the results of the physical inventory, as required by NRC regulation.
