HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT I WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 1986 Haddam Neck -- Drepped Fuel Element 9

At 12:4'5 p.m. on February 26, 1986 Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (the licensee) notified the NRC that a fuel element become attached to the u)per head internals and that, during the removal of the internals, su >sequently fell back onto the top of the core at 12:10 p.m. The element is currently in a safe position with the bottom of the element resting on the top of the core and the top leaning ]

i against the side of the reactor vessel. There were no increases in radiation levels. The licensee has evacuated the containment of all but essential refueling personnel as a precautionary measure and is presently performing remote surveillance of the element and evaluating alternative ways of attaching the grappling tool to the fuel element to  :

. remove the assembly from the vessel. This report is current as of 2:30 p.m. on February 26, 1986.

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation. Gore. Oklahoma On February 20, 1986, representatives of Sequoyah Fuels Corporation met with representatives of fMSS IE, ELD, and RIV to present the current status of the Sequoyah Facility and outline the licensee's plans for returning to operation. The discussions were focused upon those activities resulting from_

the January 4, 1986, incident in which a 14-ton cylinder of uranium hexafluoride was ruptured.

~

The licensee proposed to the NRC a three phase program for resumption of operation at the Sequoyah Facility. The first phase would consist of l

receiving, sampling, weighing, and storage of uranium concentrates. The .'

second phase would include shipment of uranium hexafluoride which was ready l for transport at the time of the incident as well as return of other empty

containers, such as uranium concentration slurry containers to owners and i vendors. The third phase would be the resumption of uranium hexafluoride production. Resumption of these activities is dependent upon receipt by the NRC of requests and supporting documentation which includes resolution of i

issues such as training, procedures, and management oversight of operations.

l Low-Level Waste - Mixed Waste The National Governors' Association adopted the following policy position at its recently concluded Winter meeting: Governors are committed to assuring that the public is adequately protected from the radioactive and toxic properties of all material disposed of at low-level waste sites.

The National Governors' Association suggests that to avoid jurisdictional conflicts the Nuclear Regulatory Commission be designated the lead agency for licensing low-level waste sites, and urges Congress to develop a mechanism which assures regulation for the treatment, storage and disposal of radic-active waste mixed with hazardous waste that provides adequate protection of the public health and environment comparable to the level of protection afforded by subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Recog-nizing that RCRA regulations currently apply to hazardous waste at Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, Governors support the extension of RCRA coverage to those hazardous materials which are mixed with radioactive waste at DOE l facilities.

FEB 2 C 1986

. NRC TMI-2 CLEANUP PROJECT DIRECTORATE WEEKLY STATUS REPORT WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 1986

1. DEFUELING

- As of March 3, 1986, 18 defueling canisters have been transferred from the reactor vessel to the spent fuel pool storage racks. Total weight of fuel debris and structural material transferred out of the reactor vessel is about 16,000 lbs. The estimated total weight of fuel debris and structural materials originally in the reactor vessel after the accident was 308,000 lbs.

- Defueling by pick-and-place with a spade-bucket tool continued.

- On February 28, 1986, an operational test of the modified vacuum defueling system was done. The modified nozzle has a larger opening to reduce plugging and uses a water jet to " fluff" the debris bed as in underwater mining operations. During the test, the vacuum system filter canister was bypassed, as previous experience with the system showed rapid plugging of the filter. The testing showed no improvement.

- Visibility in the reactor vessel continues to be poor because of biologic growths. To counter the problem, the licensee operated a Temporary Reactor Vessel Water Filtration System. The filtration system has been removed from service because of a need to reevaluate the system design. In addition, beginning on March 2, 1986, the licensee is exchanging 55,000 gallons of reactor coolant by a feed-and-bleed operation. The RCS level was drawn down to the vessel flange level, then refilled to the 327' level. Reactor coolant is now being withdrawn to the "B" Reactor Coolant Bleed Tenk (RCBT) and replenished by borated processed water from the "A" RCBT.

- The organic growth in the RCS has progressed to the point where a self-sustaining community exists. The growths vary from algae in suspension through fungi and bacteria to aerobic and anaerobic organisms in the lower vessel. The proposed biocide that was to be used to treat the RCS was shown by laboratory testing to be ineffective at concentrations that would be acceptable. The licensee continues to study the problem with the assistance of outside experts in the field. A long term treatment plan is not expected for several weeks.

2. PL' ANT STATUS

- The reactor remains in long term cold shutdown, vented to atmosphere.

- The reactor vessel head is in storage on the 347' elevation. The plenum is on its storage stand in the deep end of the fuel transfer canal. A dam is installed between the deep and shallow ends of the transfer canal, permitting a 20 foot depth (about S feet over the top of the plenum).

ENCLOSURE B

- Reactor Coolant System (RCS) cooling is by natural heat loss to the reactor building atmosphere. Calculated reactor decay heat is 10.7 kilowatts. Incore thermocouple readings range from 72'F to 94"F, averaging 81*F.

- The average reactor building temperature is 55'F. The reactor building airborne activity at the defueling platform is 2.0 E-8 uCi/cc Tritium and 5.4 E-11 UCi/cc particulates, predominately Cesium-137.

- The reactor vessel and modified internals indexing fixture are flooded to the 327'6" elevation which is 151 feet above the core region top. The defueling platform is mounted above the internals indexing fixture.

3. WASTE MANAGEMENT

- The Submerged Demineralizer System (SDS) continued processing batch 127, Fuel Transfer Canal Recycle through both trains.

- EPICOR II remained shutdown.

- Total volume processed through SDS to date is 3,800,906 gallons, and the total volume processed through EPICOR II is 2,822,963 gallons.

4. RADI0 ACTIVE MATERIAL / WASTE SHIPMENT

- On February 5, 1986, 85 barrels and 4 boxes of contaminated laundry were sent to Royersford, PA.

- On February 5,1986, Unit 1 samples were sent to Westwood, NJ, and Rockville, MD, for analysis.

- On February 12, 1986, 73 barrels and 4 boxes of contaminated laundry were sent to Royersford, PA.

- On February 13, 1986, a depleted, dewatered EPICOR II resin liner was sent to Richland, WA.

- On February 19, 1986, 82 barrels and 2 boxes of contaminated laundry were sent to Royersford, PA.

- On February 21, 1986, a combined unit waste shipment was sent to Richland WA. The shipment consisted of 60 barrels and 2 boxes.

- On February 25, 1986, Unit I samples were sent to Westwood, NJ and Rockville, MD for analysis.

- On February 26, 1986, 83 barrels and 4 boxes of contaminated laundry were sent to Royersford, PA.

5. DOSE REDUCTION / DECONTAMINATION

- Average general area radiation dose rate is 40 mrem per hour on the 347' level of the reactor building and is 67 mrem per hour on the 305' level of the reactor building. The average dose rate to workers on the defueling work platform is 8 mrem per hour.

FEB 2 01985 ENCLOSURE B

. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

- US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sample analysis results show TMI site liquid effluents to be in accordance with regulatory limits, NRC requirements, and the City of Lancaster Agreement.

- TMI water samples taken by EPA at the plant discharge to the river consisted of seven daily composite samples taken from February 8 through February 15, 1986. A gama scan detected no reactor related activity.

- The Lancaster water sample taken at the water works intake and analyzed by EPA consisted of a seven day composited sample taken from February 9 through February 15, 1986. A gamma scan detected no reactor related radioactivity.

- The NRC outdoor airborne particulate sampler at the TMI site collected a sample between February 19, and February 26, 1986. No reactor related radioactivity was detected. Analysis showed Iodine-131 and Cesium-137 concentrations to be less than the lower limits of detectability.

7. REACTOR BUILDING ACTIVITIES

- Initial defueling of the reactor core is in progress.

8. AUXILIARY AND FUEL HANDLING BUILDING ACTIVITIES

- Installation of the balance of Defueling Water Cleanup System (DWCS) continued.

- Preparations are being made for decontamination in the Seal Injection Room, 281' auxiliary ouilding.

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REGULATORY RESEARCH Items of Interest Week Ending February 28, 1986 Core-Concrete Interaction Experiments with U.S. Concrete Crucibles at KfK Karlsruhe, FRG One aspect of the Cooperative Reactor Safety Research agreement between the NRC and the Federal Republic of Germany involves the study of the interactions between high temperature reactor core debris and concrete. Such information is needed to predict the possible consequences of core-disruptive accidents in which molten core debris penetrates the reactor vessel and falls into the concrete cavity below it so that calculational predictions of probable full-scale reactor behavior can be made to characterize radiation source terms and implement severe accident regulatory policy.

Experiments have been under way at the Nuclear Research Center (Kernforschungszentrum, Karlsruhe, KfK) in which large amounts (300-400 kg) of themitically prepared molten steel is teemed into large, highly-instrumented concrete crucibles. To simulate the sustained bulk heating that would be present as a result of fission product decay power in actual core debris, the crucibles are mounted within the coil of a high-powered induction heater. This work will provide a data base needed to validate the CORCON computer code.

The original NRC-KfK experiment matrix was expanded to include crucibles I prototypic of American concretes. Raw material was shipped from Sandia I

National Laboratories (SNL) to Karlsruhe to construct three test crucibles:

i one using limestone for both the coarse and fine aggregates, and two crucibles using comon-sand for the fine aggregate (primarily silica). The first experiment (conducted in September 1985) used limestone common-sand concrete.

Unfortunately, because of a power failure in the induction heater, the experiment teminated after less than two minutes and little useful data were l obtained. The second experiment, using all limestone aggregate was run j successfully on November 30, 1985. Unlike the previous tests with basaltic corcrete, copious amounts of aerosols were generated during this test. Power was delivered at approximately 400 MW for about 30 minutes. The final test, a rerun of the first, again used limestone comon-sand concrete and was conducted successfully on January 25, 1986. The data derived from these experiments, as i

l well as that obtained with the German basaltic crucibles, is being transferred to SNL and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for analysis oy the l CORCON/VANESA code development groups.

RES RULEMAKING ACTIVITIES Severe Accident Risk Assessment The RES staff and supporting contractors are currently engaged in the reevalua-tion of the risk of six reference LWRs. This reevaluation is currently being

  • used to support NRR's review of IDCOR submittals. In addition, it will support the staff report NUREG-1150, which is intended to provide guidance to decision-makers as to the appropriate role of information on core melt frequency, containment performance, source terms, and risk in making severe accident decisions.

t

  • A management review meeting will be held March 6,1986. The morning session will discuss progress to date, current problems, budget, and schedules from a management perspective. The afternoon session will consist of presentation of preliminary results of the analyses of the reference plants.

Draft NUREG-1150 position papers have been prepared on several outstanding issues by RES staff, in cooperation with NRR staff. They are presently under review within these offices. When thest papers and supporting risk analyses are completed, they will provide the basis for staff positions on these items.

The Agreement became effective January 1,1986.

Low-Level Waste - Mixed Waste ,

The National Governors' Association adopt.ed the following policy position at its recently concluded Winter meeting: Governors are coramitted to assuring that the public is adequately protected from the radioactive and toxic properties of all material disposed of at low-level waste sites.

1 The National Governors' Association suggests that to avoid jurisdictional .

conflicts the Nuclear Regulatory Commission be designated the lead agency I for licensing low-level waste sites, and urges Congress to develop a mechanism which assures regulation for the treatment, storage and disposal of radio-active waste mixed with hazardous waste that provides adequate protection of the public health and environment comparable to the level of protection afforded by subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Recog-nizing that RCRA regulations currently apply to hazardous waste at Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, Governors support the extension of RCRA coverage to those hazardous materials which are mixed with radicactive waste at DOE facilities.
