Dear Mr. Stohr:
References:
(1) NRC License SNM-1097, Docket 70-1113 (2) NRC Inspection Report 70-1113/84-12 dated 10/22/84 Thank you very much for your letter reporting the results of the inspection conducted at our licensed fuel fabrication plant by Messrs. Todd, Bates and Jones of your office on August 12-16, 1984.
Pertaining to the two items of apparent noncompliance with NRC requirements in your letter, the. replies to these items are given in the attachment to this letter.
We appreciate your inspector's comments and suggestions related to our safeguards programs.
These comments and suggestions are helpful to us in our constant efforts to maintain and, where necessary, improve these programs and to ensure the continuation of a successful safeguards effort at our plant.
We also welcome further discussier with your staff on the items in your letter and in our related reply, if necessary, for further clarification of these items.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(d), GeneralElecthicCompanyrequests that the attachment to this letter be withheld from public disclosure since this attachment identifies details of General Electric's control and accountine procedures for safeguarding licensed special nuclear materia'.

GENER AL h ELECTRIC EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE 10 CFR 2.790 INFORMATION 4
Mr. J. Philip Stohr November 20, 1984 ATTACHMENT The information given below ' refers to the two items in Enclosure 1, " Notice 'of Violation," in the NRC Inspection Report 70-1113/84-12, dated 10/22/84.
1.
License Condition 2.1 of Safeguards Amendment No.
MPP-3 to Special Nuclear Materials License No.
SNM-1097 requires the licensee to follow the current revision of his Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan.
Section 7.2.3 of that plan defines two types of uranium factors used for MICS applications:
~

a This 1-a. Severity Level V violation (Sepplement III).
General Electr : concurs with the violation as stated above.

GENERAL h ELECTRIC EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE 10 CFR 2.790 INFORMATION Mr. J.
Philip Stohr November 20, 1984 Attachment - Page 2 1
~
J The reason'for the violation was an omission of the
- procedural description in the FNMCP.
This procedural description was omitted from the.FNMCP as it appeared redundant and overly detailed for this document.
In order to avoid a further violation on this issue and to assure that the manner in which blend uranium factors are obtained is clearly documented, a description of this methodology will be added to the FNMCP and submitted to the NRC for approval by December 31, 1984.
General Electric will be in full compliance upon receipt of NRC approval.
2.
10 CFR 70.51(f)(4) requires that'the licensee conduct physical inventories accordino to written inventory instructions.
Contrary to the above, scales and balances used for the August 1984 physical inventory were calibrated by the licensee rather than by the scale vendors as was specified by'the licensee's inventory instructions, entitled August 1984 Uranium Inventory Preparation Activities, dated July 3, 1984.
This is a Severity-Level V violation (Supplement III).
General Electric denies that this violation existed.
The proposed violation of 10 CFR 70.51( f)(4 ) was developed as the result of the phrase " appropriate _ scale vendor" used in an internal memo (Exhibit A) relatino to inventory planning.
It was not' contained in a procedure or instruction.
This internal memo
-~
was generated as a part of the requirements of P/P 140-1 (Exhibit B), specifically Sections 2.1.2 and 4.6 through 4.9.
These
GENER AL $ ELECTRIC EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE 10 CFR 2.790 INFORMATION Mr. J. Philip Stohr
. November 20, 1984
-Attachment - Page 3 portions of the procedure'do not address reculatory recuirements of 10 CFR 70.51(f)(4).
However, Sections 2.1.3 and 4.13 of P/P 140-1 do address the requirements of 10 CFR 70.51 ( f)(4 ).
To our knowledoe, these instructions are compete and contain no deficiencies.
The phrase " appropriate scale vendor" is a proper description for obtaining scale and balance work.
This is evidenced by the responsibilities, recuirements and pro'cedures defined in P/P 70-25 and QIEP B-40.1 (Exhibits C and D).
Notwithstanding the discussions of 10 CFR 70.51(f)(4), the important fact is that the scales and balances were in a condition of current calibration as defined in our approved procedures and NFMD took special steps to ma'<e sure this task was performed immediately prior'to the physical inzentory verification, regardless of whether the routine calibration cycle recuired it.
General Electric, therefore, etntends that the referenced operations have been in full compliance and no corrective action is anticipated.

SUBJECT:
AUGUST 1984 URANIUM I!VENTORY PREPARATION ACTIVITIEi TO : - DISTRIBUTION The August 1984 uranium physical inventory is scheduled to begin at 00011 hours, Monday, August 13, 1984.
Cut-off time.for-efaterial movement and MICS transactions is 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br />, August 10, 1984.
After this time, no material movement or MICS transactions are allowed unless specifically approved by L&NMM.
All areas will remain shut down until inventoried, inspected, and released by L&NMM.
Enclosed are the lists of preparation activities that specific managers are responsible for completing to ensure that WMD has a successful inventory.
Per P/P140-1, the lists require the signature of the responsible manager as confirmation that the activities are either complete or will be completed to meet inventory responsibilities.
Through an oversignt the responsible managers'sometimes forget to return a signed copy of the responsibilities. list, therefore, I am requesting that you make an extra effort to return the signed list in a timely manner.
Please notify the undersigned if you have any problems meeting these requirements.

. EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE 10 CFR 2.790 INFORMATION 4
Mr. James P. O'Reilly February 6, 1985 ATTACHMENT In the 12/3/84 General Electric Company response to NRC Inspection 84-14, GE neither admitted nor denied the third violation, and requested that this item remain open pending further NRC evaluation.
Since that time, GE received approval (dated 11/30/84) to a revision (dated 12/9/83) to the Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan which defines 'inside the range'" for point and curve calibrations.
+
On 1/10/85,=GE submitted FHMCP pages to Region II which t
consolidated the pages approved by the NRC-ONMSS on 11/30/84 with any 70.32(c) revisions which had been made since December 1983.
The changes approved which resolve the determination of bias corrections in accordance with required techniques are:
