SUBJECT:

PORTSMOUTH OBSERVATION REPORT 70-7002/96-204 l

Dear Mr. Miller:

l

[

Enclosed for your information is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) follow-up report which documents a review of the nuclear material physicals inventory calculation and reconciliation process conducted at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) on November 4-6, 1996, following the September 1996 inventory listing. Staff from USEC Nuclear Regulatory Affairs and/or Lockheed Martin Utility Services (LMUS), were apprised of NRC observations during and/or at the conclusion of the review. We have also provided a copy of this report to Mr. Dale Jackson of DOE, whose representative attended our exit meeting.

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 provide

)

confidence in the book inventory when NRC assumes regulatory oversight responsibilities.

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.

Sincerely, (Original signed by)

NBC
