Date Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards A:cas Inspected: Nuclear rnaterial control and accounting and physical security, including:
l facility operation, inventory, records and reports, and physical protection measures for special nuclear material of moderate strategic significance.
Results: The licensee's programs were generally directed toward the protection of public health and safety. One apparent violation was identified: failure to _ conduct security checks as required by Section 4.1 of the licensee's NRC approved physical security plan (see Section 3.0).

- denotes presence at exit interview 2.0 Material Control and Accounting 2.1 Facility Oneration The Research Laboratories of Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, engage in research and development work related to information record processes which involve chemistry, physics, and biochemistry. A i
specially designed and equipped area is used for neutron activation analysis and radiotracer work and a Californium Neutron Flux Multiplier (CFX), which utilizes 1,583 grams of Uranium-235, is installed for neutron activation analysis and for testing of recording materials for neutron radiography.
l The licensee is in the process of revising its material control and accounting procedures to reflect current practices. The licensee also plans to consolidate
- he procedures into a separate manual. This will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
2.2 Inventory The licensee's physical inventory of special nuclear material (SNM) consists of 181 aluminum alloy, CFX-1 fuel plates, containing 1,583 grams of U-235 in 93 percent enriched uranium that were installed in the Neutron Flux Multiplier l
on March 18, 1975.
Subsequent to the installation, the Neutron Flux Multiplier was sealed with tamper-proof seals (IRT-021, IRT-022). The inspector determined through a review of records that the licensee is verifying the seals every 6 months.
Alse. the inspector verified that the seals were intact on July 22,1992. No discepancies ware identified.

2.3 Records _nnd Rep _ons The inspector reviewed the licensee's records, reports and source data. All l
Material Balance Reports (DOE /NRC Form-742) submitted by the licensee for the period October 1,1988, to March 31, 1992, were reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 70.53. No discrepancies were identified.
There were no receipts or shipments of SNM made during the period under review.
3,0 General Physien! Security Requirements for SNM of Moderate Stratrgis Sinnificere The licensee's program for the physical protection of SNM of moderate strategic significance was reviewed by the inspector for conformance with the NRC-approved l
physical security plan (the Plan). The inspector examined records and reports, physical barriers, access controls, alarm response, key control, detection aids, and written security procedures. The inspector found that the liceasce's program and its implementation met the general performance requirements and objectives of the governing regulations, except as follows:

4 The licensee was unable to determine why the CFX Facility Station security checks were not performed at the re zuired frequency on the dates reviewed by the inspector.
i However, the licensee stated that a continuing review into this matter would be initiated to determine the root cause and to develop corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
