Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Items of Interest Week Ending May 2. 1997 Meetina on Skull Valley Indeoendent Soent Fuel Storaae Installation On April 24, 1997, staff from the Spent Fuel Project Office held a second pre-application meeting with representatives of Private Fuel Storage. Limited Liability Corporation (PFS). to discuss siting issues associated with the proposed Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation in Utah. At the meeting PFS indicated that it was taking an extremely conservative approach to seismic issues at the proposed ISFSI site. In addition to PFS and its contractors, a representative of the State of Utah and representatives of several utilities attended the meeting. The meeting was videotaped by Bonneville News which represents a Salt Lake City television station and several Utah radio stations.

Meetina with the Deoartment of Enerav Recardino Central Interim Storace Facility On April 29, 1997, the final pre-application meeting was held between representatives of the Department of Energy (DOE). its associated contractors, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff to discuss proposed submittal of a non-site-specific topical safety analysis report (TSAR) for a central interim storage facility (CISF). DOE still anticipates that this TSAR will be submitted in May 1997. The DOE aresentation ir.cluded an overview of the TSAR objectives and a discussion on t1e CISF TSAR submittal. chapter by chapter.

The NRC staff noted concerns regarding several items. Specifically. DOE has assumed that the CISF and the monitored retrievable storage facility, as defined in 10 CFR Part 72, are identical for licensing purposes and license term (40 years). The NRC staff responded that this is under review. The NRC staff cautioned DOE about interface recuirements (design parameters) and licensing actions between the cask vencors and DOE as the licensee of the proposed CISF.

Deoartment of Eneroy Closure of First Hiah-Level Waste Storace Tank at Savannah River On April 24. 1997, the Department of Energy (DOE) initiated the closure of the first of 51 empty high-level waste (HLW) storage tanks at the Savannah River Site in Georgia. This tank, and a second one scheduled to be closed later this month, do not require enhanced cleaning to satisfy existing Nuclear Regulatory Commission criteria for classification of residual tank wastes as

" incidental" and thus not subject to NRC licensing authority. The closure action involved addition of a fluid reducing grout to the tank to both mix with and immobilize any tank residue (the small volume of sludge or " heel" which remains from tank washing). Following the setting or hardening of the initial grout pour, a second pour is made to " sandwich" any sludge that is l

visible or evident on the surface of the first pour. The " sandwich" of immobilized waste is subsequently topped with layers of both low-strength and high- strength cement to a height of 24 feet or more to provide a protective MAY 2. 1997 ENCLOSURE B I

__j

barrier against a potential inadvertent intruder. The closure of the second HLW storage tank will likely begin the week of May 5. 1997. Prior to closure of any of the remaining 49 HLW storage tanks. NRC plans to evaluate DOE's methodology for the classification of the residual wastes in those tanks.

Meetina with the Deoartment of Transoortation On April 29, 1997, staff from the Spent Fuel Project Office met with staff from the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Volpe Transportation Research Center to discuss collaboration on various rail transportation risk assessment-efforts currently underway. DOT has compiled a detailed database of the nation's entire Class I rail network, including segment-specific accident probabilities, and is attempting to overlay that database with a characterization of rail wayside hardness derived from satellite imagery.

This information would be helpful in Nuclear Regulatory Commission efforts to revalidate the rail spent fuel shipment risk estimates contained in NUREG-0170, and in revising the rail portion of the Modal Study. NRC can provide DOT with information on spent fuel cask designs, package release fractions and other information important to DOT in the assessment of rail shipment options they are performing for DOT's Research and Special Programs Administration and the Federal Railway Administration. DOT staff members have accepted our invitation to participate in the next NUREG-0170 progress review meeting, scheduled for the end of June 1997 at Sandia National Laboratories. -

Particioation in the Howard Huahes Medical Institute Conference On April 28-29, 1997, senior staff members from the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) participated in the seventh annual Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Conference sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The NMSS staff members provided presentations and an overview of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Strategic Assessment Initiatives as part of a forum focusing on collaborative approaches for successful resolution of technical issues. The forum was entitled.

" Leading Change Learning from What Works. Assessing Performance." and was attended by about 75 EH&S Directors from large universities and research institutes from across the United States.

Nuclear Materials Manaaemnt and Safecuards Steerina Committee Meetina On April 29, 1997, a Regulatory and International Safeguards Branch staff member participated in a semiannual Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards Steering (NMMSS) Committee Meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Representatives of the Department of Energy (DOE); Nuclear Assurance Corporation (NMMSS contractor): Westinghouse Electric (licensees' representative) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory also participated.

Prjncipal topics of discussion of particular interest.to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission-included: (1) fiscal constraints on the provision of NMMSS services. (2) status of NMMSS operations. (3) General Accounting Office l audit of NMMSS, (4) training of NMMSS users, (5) status of reporting pursuant 1 to the U.S./ EURATOM and U.S./ Russia Agreements, and (6) status of data editing software developed for NRC licensees. The data editing software will enable the licensees to edit their transaction data input prior to submittal to MAY 2, 1997 ENCLOSURE B

o. ..

NMMSS, thereby reducing the error rate and the associated cost of data editing performed by NMMSS staff. In connection with item (1) above, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards staff will be meeting with DOE staff in the near future to discuss cost allocation for NMMSS services and future funding, including the impact of NRC oversight of U.S. Enrichment Corporation.

Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data Items of Interest Week Ending May 2. 1997 Particioation in the Grainaer Lecture Series l On April 29 through 30, 1997, Mr. Rosenthal of the Reactor Analysis Branch participated in the 1997 Grainger Lecture Series at the University of Illinois. The objective of the lecture series was to shed light on the technical, policy changes, and procedural improvements that can be implemented to avoid events such as the western grid disturbances of 1996.

Mr. Rosenthal's lecture was on the safety and risk significance of electric grid reliability. Several lectures outlined electric grid reliability  ;

concerns associated with industry restructuring. A recurring issue was the '

question of who would pay for reliability in the competitive market place.
