DECONTROLLED WHEN 2.790 INFORMATION IS REMOVED Mr J. Dels Jackson Regulatory' Oversight Manager United States Department of Energy P.O. Box 2001 Oak Ridge, TN 37831
SUBJECT:
PORTSMOUTH OBSERVATION REPORT 70-7002/96-204
Dear Mr. Jackson:
Enclosed for your information is a letter addressed to Mr. J. H. Miller, of the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC), and a report on the nuclear material physical inventory i
verification follow-up review conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at J
the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) from November 4-6,1996. This report documents NRC observations as a part of our effort to assume regulatory oversight responsibility for PORTS from the Department of Energy (DOE).
During the review, NRC examined the Material Control and Accounting (MC&A) procedures, verified representative MC&A records, and interviewed personnel from the MC&A and Nuclear Materials Engineering departments. The review will enable NRC to establish a baseline inventory which will be used, along with monitoring of inventory adjustments, to document NRC's confidence in the book inventory when NRC assumes regulatory oversight responsibilities. Staff from USEC Nuclear Regulatory Affairs, Lockheed Martin Utility Services, and DOE Site Safety were appraised of NRC observations during and/or at the conclusion of the review.
Under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790,information concerning a licensee's MC&A program is exempt from public disclosure. Accordingly, the enclosure to this correspondence will not be placed in the public document room.
- I Sincerely, g7jnA D (Ori inal si ned by)
