Report Details I. Safety Operations 02 Criticality Safety (IP 88015)-
02.01 Criticality Safety Evaluations i
i a. Inspection Scooe The inspector reviewed and discussed two Criticality Safety Evaluations (CSE) with licensee representatives. The two CSEs reviewed were for the uranium hexafluoride (UF6 ) vaporizer and the ammonium diuranate (ADU) centrifuge, two processes which are part-of the ADU production process. The CSEs were reviewed for the adequacy with which controls were defined and established so as to satisfy the intent of the double contingency principle.
Additionally, the adequacy of the implementation of controls in plant operations for one of these systems, the ADU centrifuge, is addressed in Section 03 below.
- b. Observations and Findinas (1) UF3 Vaporizer for ADU Process The CSE for the UF, vaporizer for the ADU process was reviewed. This vaporizer is a vertical, non favorable geometry cylinder, which during normal operations contains a pressurized steam atmosphere, but accumulates neither
! fissile material or moderator. The CSE defines and i establishes a series of active engineered, administrative,
! and process controls applied to mass (i.e. mass of possible l accumulation of fissile material) and geometry (i.e.
I geometry of possible accumulation of moderator). The mass
! controls preclude the uncontrolled discharge of UF 6 into the l vaporizer either through a catastrophic rupture or slow I undetected leak. The geometry controls preclude the ,
accumulation of a sufficient amount (i.e. slab thickness) of 1 moderator to support a criticality. Discussion and review I of the CSE, and the fault tree contained therein, indicated that controls were adequately defined and established so as to satisfy the intent of the double contingency principle. .
(2) ADU Centrifuae
, The CSE for the ADU centrifuge in the ADU arocess was
! reviewed. This centrifuge dewaters the ADJ slurry, which
! also contains a normally small concentration of uranium
- oxide (U02 ).via a recycling process. The CSE defines and I
!. establishes a series of active engineered, administrative, and process controls applied to preclude the excess
2 accumulation of fissile material in the centrifuge bowl and the space between this bowl and the centrifuge housing.
Discussion and review of the CSE, and the fault tree contained therein, indicated that controls were adequately t
defined and established so as to satisfy the intent of the double contingency principle.
! c. Conclusions In the two CSEs reviewed, for the uranium hexafluoride (UF6 )
l vaporizer and the ammonium diuranate (ADU) centrifuge, two l processes which are part of the ADU 3roduction process, controls were adequately defined and establis1ed so as to satisfy the intent of the double contingency principle.
l 03 Plant Operations (IP 88020) 03.03 Imolementation of Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) Controls
- a. Insoection Scoce The inspector reviewed the implementation of selected nuclear criticality safety (NCS) controls for the ADV centrifuge discussed l in Section 02.01.b(2) above.
- b. Observations and Findinas As discussed above, the CSE defines and establishes a series of
, active engineered, administrative, and process controls a> plied to preclude the excess accumulation of fissile material in t1e centrifuge bowl and the space between this bowl and the centrifuge housing. Of these controls, one is defined as an active-i engineered control (AEC) because of its function and its functional testability. The centrifuge bowl is hydraulically driven, and this AEC control is related to the detection of an increase in hydraulic fluid pressure which, in turn, would be caused by the increase in torque that would be experienced by the driving system if an excessive mass of material began to accumulate 'n the centrifuge bowl and the space between this bowl and the u.ntrifuge housing. This increase in pressure would be detected by a pressure sensor which is interlocked with controls which would automatically stop the feed of material to the centrifuge.
The inspector discussed in detail the functional testing procedure for this AEC with the cognizant process engineer. This discussion satisfied the inspector that the testing discussed indeed constituted a functional test of the system. The ins)ector toured a related plant area and observed that this AEC was p1ysically in place on one of the ADU production lines. The calibration of the pressure sensor its?lf was discussed in detail with a technician who performs the calibration. Routine functional testing of this
i 3 :
AEC is required annually by the licensee's maintenance procedures.
The ins actor reviewed maintenance records which demonstrated that these AECs on all ADU production lines had been routinely functionally tested annually as required. No concerns were l identified during any of the above described observations. ;
- c. Conclusions From the above discussed functional testing and calibration, and observation of this pressure sensing AEC system, the inspector concluded that this AEC for nuclear criticality safety-is adequately implemented.
03.08 Miscellaneous Ooerations Issues
- a. IFL95 08-02 (Closed) l .(1). Inspection Scooe The inspector reviewed the licensee's actions concerning this Inspector Followup Item (IFI). The issue involved the licensee's actions to develop additional procedure (s) for the proper handling of potentially contaminated bag filters in various plant areas.
(2). Observations and Findinas The inspector discussed this issue with the cognizant Regulatory Engineer and reviewed related documentation. The licensee had issued a new Maintenance and Calibration Operating Procedure for maintenance personnel: Procedure No. MCP-108115. " Changing Bag Filters in Air Handling &
Furnace Ventilation Units". Rev. 1, dated March 14, 1996.
The licensee had also revised a Regulatory Operations Procedure for performing radiological surveys of filters for the purposed of determining their uranium (U 235) content:
Procedure No. R0P 05 008, " Surveying Filtration Devices for U-235", Rev. 4, dated February 15, 1996. The cognizant Regulatory Engineer had also issued a letter to his manager (Letter No. NMS&S DWW 96 007. " Filters-Closeout of NRC IFI",
dated March 19, 1996) which discussed this issue and documented that these procedural enhancements completed actions to respond to concerns related to the proper handling and temporary storage of used filters. The letter also documented the training of all affected manufacturing and maintenance personnel. The inspector discussed and
! reviewed the above procedures with the cognizant Regulatory j Engineer and concurred that they appeared adequate.

l (3). Conclusions The inspector concluded that the licensee's actions to
- address concerns related to this IFI appeared adequate.
This item is cons.idered closed.
- b. IFI 95 09 01 (Closed)
(1). Inspection Scope The inspector reviewed the licensee's actions concerning l this Inspector Followup Item (IFI). The issue involved the licensee's actions to evaluate whether additional control at I
the ADV process fitzmill hood would be a>propriate. This additional- control would be related to t1e observation of l when a polypack has become full of uranium oxide (U02 ) I powder.
(2). Observations and Findinos The inspector discussed this issue with the cognizant Regulatory Engineering manager and reviewed related documentation. The manager stated that this issue had been evaluated and a decision was made that the introduction of additional controls, either administrative or process interlocks, would neither be practicable or appropriate.
The related procedure already instructs the operator to check the filling status of a polypack, but does not specify l a time frequency for doing so. The manager said it was '
decided that s)ecifying such a time frequency would be ina)propriate 3ecause the filling frequency was variable ,
wit 1 process conditions. Regarding interlocks, the process already has a level probe which is designed to detect when a polypack is full, shut off the fitzmill, and turn on an alerting light: consideration of additional interlocks was decided inappropriate. The manager also pointed out that their recently completed Criticality Safety Evaluation of >
the fitzmill hood resulted in a mass limit of 125 Kg UO2 (7 to 8 polypacks of U0 ). The inspector also reviewed the 2
related Criticality Safety Evaluation fault tree which illustrates the Double Contingency protection for this operation and it appeared adequate. Although no new controls were deemed appropriate or practicable, the manager stated that training was conducted to sensitize operators to i the need to maintain an awareness of when a polypack should i likely be getting full, being sure to check them routinely l and periodically, and making sure that polypacks are sealed l
pro)erly under discharge chutes and that powder is not l lea (ing or blowing into the fitzmill hoods. This training
