Management Organization and Controls
Section 9 of license SFM-1227 incorporated Part I and the Appendixes to
Part I of the licensee's application as license conditions.
A.
Organizational Structure
Section 2.4 of the license application requires certain
organizational divisions of responsibility to provide a check and
balance system in the important areas of plant safety.
The licensee's organizational structure is unchanged since the prior
inspection. Responsibilities for the changes recommended by the
internal task force on criticality pafety have been assigned and
i
dates for the completion have been established. Various aspects of
all the recommendations are scheduled for completion by the end of
1985 except for the implementation of the annual safety appraisal
which is scheduled for 1986. The progress on implementation of the
task force recommendations will continue to be reviewed in
subsequent inspections (85-02-05).

No violations were identified.
3.
Training and Retraining
Section 3.10 of the license requires that the licensee conduct a training
program covering radiation protection, criticality safety, industrial
safety, fire protection and emergency procedures.
During this inspection certain aspects of the radiological, respirator
and transportation training were examined by the inspector. The new
employee training provided for five radiation workers and the
radiological orientation given three non-radiation workers were reviewed.
Radiological safety training, including respirator training, had been
provided to radiation workers as required. Based on the review, a
recommendation was made that the orientation given to new non-radiation
workers include the explanation of the various radiation safety signs and
symbols used by the licensee.
A review of the training given to the transportation workers is discussed
in Section 7.
No violations were identified.
4.
Criticality Safety
Section 3.2 of the license application requires assurance of criticality
safety through both administrative and technical practices.
Criticality Safety Analysis
,
Section 3.2.1.1 of the license application requires criticality safety
analysis of all applicable processes in accordance with Section 2.3.20 of
4
the license application and all determ! nations of Nuclear Criticality
Safety be reviewed and approved by a second party reviewer in accordance
with the requirements.

The licensee continues to provide second party review of required
criticality safety analyses. The Liquid Uranium Scrap Recovery (LURP)
operation expansion incorporated previous reviews of tanks used in the
expansion. The interaction analyses of the new configuration will be
reviewed during the next inspection (85-10-01).
.
No violations were identified.

. Operations Review
Section 2.1 of the license application requires the licensee to conduct
l
business in a manner so as to assure that licensee facilities are safe
'
from radiation and other nuclear hazards, and the operations will not be
detrimental to the environs and to assure that personnel radiation
exposures, both in-plant and offsite, are raintained as low as is
L
reasonably achievable (ALARA).
!
A.
Conduct of Operations
(1) The LURP expansion equipment required for increasing the pilot
plant throughput has been acquired. The equipment installation
is nearly completed and startup of the process should be in the
near future. The administrative controle incorporated in the
procedure to control input quantities to within a safe batch
will be reviewed during the next inspection (85-10-02).
!
(2) The modifications planned for the Cadolinium Scrap Recovery
'
Process (GSRP) have been completed.
(3) The Miscellaneous Uranium kecovery System (MURS) being
l
installed during the last inspection is now operational.
(4) The Non Destructive Assay (NDA) system for verification of the
enrichmentofuraniuminUFfcylinderswasdemonstrated. The
system appeared to be capabIe of making the required
measurements.

Bionssay Results
Urinalysis results for the second quarter were reviewed. The
highest urinalysin noted was 26.45 ug U/1. This individual was
subsequently resampled within a week, and the reported result was at
the minimum detectable level of 10 ug U/1. The inspector determined
'that initial urinalysis had been conducted on five new radiation
workers as required.
No significant exposures were noted.
B.
Lung Count Results
Lung count results obtained since May 18, 1985 were reviewed by the
inspector. Also, it was determined that five new radiation workers
had been lung counted as required.
No significant lung counts were noted.
!
'
C.
Whole Body Radiation Exposure
!
(
Non-radiation workers, and radiation workers who work with
i
encapsulated material, and radiation workers who work with
!
non-encapsulated materials are monitored on an annual, semi-annual
!
and quarterly bases. Records of radiation exposures for the second
quarter of 1985 were reviewed. The highest radiation exposures
noted of 0.54 rem whole body (WB) and 0.54 rem skin were received by
an individual working in the plutonium facility decontamination
during the month of June. The cumulative whole body exposure, to
date, for this individual is 0.820 rem. None of the reported
exposures exceeded the NRC Part 20 requirements.
D.
Radiological Safety Audits
Radiological safety audits are being performed monthly by the Senior
Radiological Engineer (SRE) as required by Section 3.13.1 of the
i
current license application. The radiological safety practices in
'
the plant are reviewed during these audits, and'the findings are
included in a written report to management.
The SRE stated that he also conducts a walkthrough inspection of the
i
facility twice a week.
Records of these audits conducted since the last inspection were
reviewed by the inspector. The audits appeared to be comprehensive
,
'
and included such areas as posting, bionssays, radiation and
,
contamination surveys, transportation and operating procedures. No
significant findings were noted in the audit reports.

shipments. The licensee also conducts compliance audits of shipments of
licensed material. In addition, the licensee has a quality assurance (QA)
group which conduct audits of the QC program on a one year frequency.
Records of receipts of licensed material were reviewed by the inspector.
Surseys to show compliance with 10 CFR 20.205 had been conducted as
required. Records of three fuel shipments made since the last inspection
were revi2wed for compliance with DOT requirements. All records were
accepta11e.
A shipment of radioactive waste was sent to the U.S. Ecology, Inc. low
level waste burial site in Richland, Washington on June 25. 1985. The
shipment No. H1116, Radioactive Shipment Record (RSR) No. 53313 was
received at the burial site on June 27, 1985. Thn State of Washington
inspector cited the licensee for a container (WD-17276) which had a hole
in the side of the container. This was in viointion of 49 CFR
173.425 (b) (1) . Also, 10 CFR 71.5 requires, in part, that each licensee
who transports licensed material outside the plant, or who delivern
licensed material to a carrier for transport, shall comply with the
applicable DOT regulations. This matter was identified as a violation.
The circumstances associated with the shipment which caused the violation
of DOT regulations were discussed with the licensee. The licenses has
determined that the damage to the container occurred after the final QC
shipment check had been conducted (approximately ten days prior to the
shipment). In order to preclude any further violations associated with
containers being damaged prior to shipment, the licensee has taken action
to (1) place a protective barrier arourd the barrel storage area, and
,
.

(2) the QC shipment check will be conducted immediately prior to the
shipment.
One violation was identified.
8.
Radioactive Waste Management
10 CFR Part 61 requires that all radioactive waste prepared for
disposal is classified in accordance with paragraph 61.55 and meets
the waste characteristics requirements in paragraph 61.56
The procedures used to assay the uranium contents of metal boxes and
55 gallon drums of uranium radiot.ctive waste generated were
reviewed. Metal boxes are used :o hold non-compactible radioactive-
waste material such as large pieces of contaminated equipment which
will not fit into a 55 gallon drum. These metal boxes are monitored
with a survey meter and the readings are used to derive the uranium
-
content.
l
The contents of 55 gallon drums are compacted and counted in a
barrel counter which is mounted with four 1" x 2" sodium iodide
scintillation detectors. The barrel counter has a stated random
error of 10% and a systematic error of 16% for total uranium.
The licensee stores all boxes and barrels containing 150 grams or
more of uranium for future recovery. All boxes and barrels
containing less than 150 grams of uranium are shipped to the U.S.
Ecology waste burial site at Richland, WA, as LSA radioactive vaste.
As noted in the last inspection report, QC auditn of packaging and
monitoring techniques in the UO Building will commence during the
third quarter of 1985 (85-06-02)2 This item remains open.

Emergency Preparedness
Section 3.9 of the license application addresses the licensee's Emergency
Plan (XN-NF-32) which includes a listing of procedures that have been
prepared to implement the plan.
A.
Fire Protection
(1) The nineteen fire extinguishers which were examined by the
inspector throughout the plant were all current with regard to
the monthly inspection requirement.
(2) The licenene completed elimination of the class "D" fire
posting from the site. This change permits the professional
fire fighter in-charge during a fire emergency to decide on the
proper fire-fighting technique.
No viointionn were identified.

Environmental Protection
Section 3.5 of the'licanse application addresses the licensee's
Environmental Surveillance Program wherein gaseous effluents, liquid
effluents and lagoon systems are monitored. Additionally, the licensee
collects vegetation, soil and air samples at strategie locations for
analysis of pertinent chemicals and uranium.
During the review of the licensee's gaseous effluent data the NRC
Headquarters (NMSS) representative indicated that although the licensee's
gaseous effluents were within regulatory limits, the measurement
sensitivity indicated in the Environmental Impact Appraisal of August 13,
1981 appears significantly beyond the capability of the licensee's
measurement system. The licensee agreed to re-evaluate the measurement
systems performance. The results of the ifcensee's effort will be
reviewed during the next inspection (85-10-03). Additionally, it was
noted that the results of the fluorimetric measurement of the uranium
content of soil. and sewage sludge samples may also be showing a
measurement problem. The licensee agreed to review the performance of the
measurement system and recognized the need for an enricLuent seasurement
of the uranium content of the sewage sludge. The licensee's findings
will be reviewed during the next inspection (85-10-04).
Seven soil samples were taken by the inspector in the vicinity of the
licensee's site. Four offsite samples were taken, two were downwind and
two were upwind (the prevailing wind was from the southwest). The upwind
samples were not within the plant boundary but were on the licensee's
property. The three onsite samples were all taken downwind from the SF
Building. The samples have been sent to a Department of Energy
,
'
laboratory for independent analyses.
No violations were identified.
11. Deactivation / Decontamination Activities
The decontamination of Room 173 (the mixed-oxide room) in the Specialty
Fuels (SF) Building, is proceeding according to the licensee's plan.
The need for the licensee to submit a plan of this preparation and
packaging project to NRC-HQ (NMSS) for their review was discussed. There
is no clear requirement for such a submittal. The licensee did provide
an information copy of their plan to the NMSS representative during the
inspection. The licensee also stated a copy of the final plan for
decontaminating the empty room will be provided to NRC for approval when
it is completed. On August 9, 1985 the inspector was advised by an NMSS
,
!
representative that auch a plan had just been requested of the licensee
l
and the Ifeensee agreed to provide it.

The licensee restated that the source of contamination of both the powder
mixing room and the drum pallets was known; however, an effective corrective
'
action had not been developed. The licensee also stated that the tygon
tubing would be repinced with metal tubing in the air sampler. Additionally,
the licensee indicated that a check would be made of the gaseous effluent
measurement sensitivity and the fluorimetric measurement accuracy.
