f ENCLOSURE Combustion Engineering, Inc.
Docket No. 70-36 Hematite Plant We have reviewed your response addressing the violations identified in Inspection Report No. 73-36/85002. These coments address certain inadequacies in your response.
Violation No. 4:
10 CFR 70.57(b)(4) requires veification of the validity of existing mixing and sampling procedures through the use of process and engineering tests.
This requirement refers to sampling procedures rather than random sampling error estimates.
Furthermore, the intent of License Condition 4.11 is to allow the exemption regarding the nonperformance of process and engineering tests for UF6 sampling procedures referred to in Section 4.3 of the FNMCP.
Therefore, License Condition 4.11 does not exempt the licensee from' the requirement of determining random errors using current data as stated in 10 CFR 70,57(b)(8) and (9). The licensee must develop.a system of control measurements to provide current data for the determination of random error behavior... program data generated during the current naterial balance period shall be used for the determination of the limit of error of the plant material balance.
The above position was discussed with your licensing reviewer on December 3, 1985, and he concurred with the above findings.
It is therefore concluded that a violation of 10 CFR 70.57(b)(8) and (9) did occur and that corrective action must be taken.
