.SNM contained in other than fue Inventory l- The inspector performed an inventory verification on November 14, l 1985 which consisted of a piece count of the assemblies shown on the spent fuel pool map and a comparison of selected fuel location l history cards to the spent fuel pool map. Due to the current outage, l all fuel assemblies, totaling 2116, were located in the spent fuel pool.

,

The licensee had conducted physical inventories as required by 10 CFR 70.51(d). The licensee's last physical inventory was performed February 11, 1985.
