OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION ITEMS OF INTEREST Week Ending April 1, 1988 South Texas Project, Unit 1 The Comission voted 5-0 on March 21, 1988 in favor of issuance of a full-power license to the South Texas Project, Unit 1.
The Comission considered the staff efforts on resolution of the allegations from the Government Accountability Project to have effectively resolved the safety concerns. A full-power license was issued on March 22, 1988.
The full-power license for the South Texas Project, Unit I was issued on March 22, 1988. Appropriate notification of all concerned has been completed.
Perry Unit 1 - MSIV Failure to Open - Entry Into 30-day LCO On Sunday, March 20, 1988, the licensee was conducting quarterly MSIV fast closure tests. All valves closed properly.
However, upon attempting to reopen the inboard "C" line HSIV, the valve failed to open. Subsequent attempts to reopen resulted in valve opening times of 3-4 minutes and 30-40 seconds rather than the expected 9-10 seconds. The licensee has determined that the slow opening appears to be related to an inability to equalize differential pressure across the valve seat and not related to the safety related closing function (by first closing the outboard MSIV, the licensee was able to properly cycle the valve both in the closed and open directions).
The licensee has declared the inboard "C" HSIY inoperable and has closed and deenergized the MS!Y leakage control system isolation valve to maintain containment integrity. This places the unit in a 30-day LCO and restricts power to 80% due to limitations associated with only three steam lines in operation. The licensee plans to enter a 7-12 day outage within the next two weeks to investigate the cause of the problem.
Peach Bottom Mr. Joseph F. Paquette, Jr., the newly elected President and Chief Operating Officer of the Philadelphia Electric Company, indicated in a letter dated March 18, that he had requested Mr. Corbin McNeill, Senior Vice President, to conduct a review of the Restart Plan. Mr. Paquette indicated that he expected that any changes resulting from this review would be minor in nature.
Mr. Paquette also stated that the schedule for restart would be submitted on April 8 and that any changes to the Restart Plan resulting from Mr. McNeill's review would also be submitted on that date.

Seabrook Unit 1 Northeast Utilities (NU) and Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) announced on March 24, 1988 that NU had expressed interest in making a proposal for acquiring PSNH's assets. Like an earlier expression of interest from New England Electric System, the NU focus is on PSNH's operating assets -
not PSNH's share of Seabrook. Any acquisition of PSNH assets would require various approvals, including the bankruptcy court and the regulatory agencies.
As a note of interest, Connecticut Light & Power Company, NU's subsidiary, is one of the Seabrook, Unit 1 joint owners with about 4.1% ownership.
Fermi-2 On Friday, March 25, 1988, 14 Canadians toured Fermi 2 and met with both the NRC and Detroit Edison. The Canadian group was composed of three Members of the Canadian Parliament, the Director of the Canadian Atomic Energy Control Board plus other Canadian officials. The tour was set up at the request of the Canadians and their purpose was to express their concerns over the safety of Fermi-2 to both the NRC and Detroit Edison, i
The Canadians toured the plant from approximately 11:00 a.m. until about 1:15 p.m.
B. Ralph Sylvia, Group Vice President, gave a brief presentation on Fermi and responded to a few questions during lunch.
Following lunch the Canadians held a private meeting with NRC representatives.
i Following a brief presentation by NRC staff, Canadian questions concerning Fermi were answered.
The Members of Parliament indicated that they had received numerous complaints from their constituents and wanted assurance from NRC that NRC was closely monitoring the operation of Fermi. All of the Canadian concerns were addressed.
Rancho Seco G. Carl Andognini, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) CEO, announced that the Rancho Seco reactor attained a self-sustaining chain reaction at 3:37 P.M. PST on March 30, 1988.
Local news media cameras recorded the event live from the site. On Wednesday morning, March 30, 1988, the NRC had authorized SMUD to restart Rancho Seco.

Storage / Transport (S/T) dry spent fuel storage cask design topical report.
The NAC S/T cask is a stainless steel and lead cask with a solid neutron shield.
Its capacity is 26 intact PWR spent fuel assemblies with initial enrichment limited to 3.3 weight percent U-235, burnup less than or ecual to 35,000 MWD /MTU, and a decay time of 5 years or more.
Loaded weight of the cask will be about 100 tons.
West Valley Demonstration Project The Department of Energy (DOE) has notified us informally that the target startup date for the Supernatant Treatment System is May 23, 1988.
A DOE-sponsored review board will convene on April 18 and 19, 1988, to evaluate the system's readiness and to recommend to the Idaho Operations Manager whether radioactive processing should begin on the target date. The NRC staff will monitor the readiness review presentations as observers.
NRC Safety Evaluation Reports for the Supernatant Treatment System and its downstream processes have been completed.
SAFEGUARDS Domestic NPC/ DOE Comparability Rule on physical Security The public coment period for the proposed rule ended on March 30, 1988.
To date, one letter of comment has been received. This letter, from a fencing manufacturer, submitted inforration on a specific type of fence, rather than comenting directly on the rule.
Transportation Physical Protection for Category I Shipments Currently, there are no comercial firms that provide transportation / physical protection for Category I shipments. By telephone, a licensee has expressed interest in acquiring the capability to provide this service. The interest appeared to be contingent upon the acceptability of using existing transport equipment under NRC requirements comparable to those previously authorized for Tri-state Motor Transit Company, Joplin, MO, for Category I shipments.

3 HIGH-LEVEL WASTE MANAGEMENT CDSCP Workshops Held March 21-24, 1988 From March 21-24, 1988 a DOE /NRC workshop was held at White Flint to discuss the NRC draft point papers relating to DOE's Consultation Draft Site Charac-terization Plan (CDSCPI for the Yucca Mountain, Nevada site. The purpose of the workshop was to ensure a comon understanding of the NRC staff concerns expressed in the draft point papers which were transmitted to DOE on March 7, 1988. Among attendees at the workshop were representatives from the State of Nevada and the Edison Electric Institute.
Discussions during the workshop also identified topics where more interaction between DOE and NRC technical staff appears necessary.
National Academy of Sciences Presentations On March 25, 1988, NRC staff members attended presentations given by DOE staff and contractors to the National Academy of Sciences Board on Radio-active Waste Panagement. The purpose of the presentations was to provide information to Academy members on the issues surrounding the draft DOE report written by J. Szymanski of the DOE Nevada Project Office. Mr. Szymenski synopsized the main ideas contained in his report, and W. Wilson (United States Geological Survey) and J. Frazier (Science Applications incorporated),
both members of the DOE internal peer review group evaluating the Szymanski report, presented the preliminary coments of that group.
It was acknowledged that the Szymanski report, which features the first serious effort to inte-grate the available data from the various disciplines into one coherent conceptual model of the Yucca Mountain site, has provided a stimulus to DOE to re-examine its plans for site characterization and the bases for those plans. The two peer reviewers maintained that, based upon data available worldwide on groundwater fluctuations caused by tectonic processes, there is considerable doubt that a rise in the water table of the magnitude hypothesized by Mr. Szymanski is, in fact, credible at Yucca Mountain.
HLW Licensino Support System (LSS1 Advisory Comittee Peeting The HLW Licensing Support System Advisory Comittee met March T1-24 in Reno, Nevada. Highlights of the meeting are as follows:
Several groups petitioned for membership. The National i
Congress of American Indians was accepted as a voting member; the Corridor Government Planning Group was not given voting membership, but was offered second-tier (non-voting) membership, and the National Conference of State Legislatures withdrew its reauest, but asked to be advised of Comittee deliberations.
A listing of LSS issues was discussed and differing positions expressed. NRC staff will attempt to address these positions in 2
developing a strawman draft proposed rule for Advisory Comittee consideration at its next meeting, April 18-19, 1988.

STAFF REQUIREMENTS - BRIEFING ON THE STATUS OF EFFORTS TO DEVELOP A DE MINIMIS POLICY, 2:00 P.M., MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1988, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, D.C. OFFICE (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE) - SECY to V. Stello, Jr. dated 3/30/88 The Commission was briefed by the staff on the status of efforts to develop a Commission policy statement identifying a level of radiation risk or dose below which government regu-lation would be limited or unwarranted.
l The Commission requested and the staff agreed to submit for commission consideration options for a Commission policy which establishes a generic number for exposures that are below regulatory concern.
The paper should discuss the uncertainties in our data base regarding radiation risk and should include l
the supporting scientific and legal rationale for all proposals.
Consideration should be given to the assumptions made in i
establishing de facto BRC levels that appear in current NRC regulations.
The staff should also discuss the approach for implementing such a number for multiple sources or licensed activities which does not require justification by individual licensees.
This options paper is to be acted upon by the Commission prior to the staff meeting with international groups on this subject.
Commissioner Bernthal requested the staff to provide him the bases and analytical techniques used by other agencies (e. g.,
EPA and FDA) in developing a de minimis policy / regulation on toxic waste (e.g., did they use a linear hypothesis?).

Subsequent to the meeting, Commissioners Roberts and Bernthal l
l requested that the staff's options paper should explicitly 1
)
identify the undergirding assumptions and projected risk j
estimates, both societal and individual, used in the establish-l
]
ment of such BRC limits appearing in NRC regulations.
Specific l
j pointe staff should address include:
i
{
In 1981, the Commission revised Part 20 to permit disposal
}
ofscintillationcocktai}4and agimal carcasses containing i
4 trace concentrations of C or H without regard for their i
radioactivity.
Also, specified curie amounts of both isotopes may be released annually into the sewerage j
system.
Some regulatory control remains (e.g. record-i i
keeping and limitation on use of contaminated carcasses) i but in effect, once released to the environment NRC exerts i
no further control, thereby setting a floor to ALARA for i
these specific isotopes and applications.
What calcu-l lations of societal and/or individual risk were employed i
in determination of these exempted levels?
Were the l
models and assumptions the same as those used to arrive at tables of exempt quantities elsewhere in NRC regs?
e i
Staff raises the question on page 4 of SECY-88-69 as to whether a definition of "radioactive" can be usefully I
established.
Not mentioned in Enclosure 2 is the fact that DOT regulations do precisely that (49 CFR 173.403).
For purposes of transportation, a radioactive material is defined as a material having a specific activity of 2 nCi/g or greater.
This definition is incorporated in hRC 4
l regulations (10 CFR 71.10) not as a definition per se, but as an exempt quantity under NRC transportation regulations.
1 What is the origin of this 2 nci/g limit?
Given that a j
limit on total specific activity limit applies to any and all isotopes what assumptions were made regarding chemical form, pathways to the environment, critical organs, etc.?
For purposes of enforcing the many de facto BRC limits l
which exist in NRC regulation what explicit allowance is made for instrument and mecsurement uncertainties?
(Recall, i
that the Commission only just recently promulgated require-ments for some measure of QA for dosimetry processors.)
Acceptable levels of residual surface contamination are designed in Reg. Guide 1.86.
Facilities with surface contamination levels below those specified may be released for unrestricted use.
How many and what types of licensee facilities have been decommissioned using these criteria?

i The Commission was recently made aware of some of the history behind the licensing of 3M static eliminator devices.
The general license for these devices allowed up i
to 5 nci of removal activity without any action being i
required on the part of the general licensees.
Do similar provisions exist in other licenses?
What is the origin of the 5 nci allowable leakage rate?
What assumptions of risk were made to justify this number?

Public Affairs and the Executive Director for Operations on i
NRC's international agreements and coordination of international research activities.
The Commission issued the following instructionst The office of International Programs should not serve only in a liaison capacity between the technical staff and the r
Commission but have the necessary expertise and be involved in the substance of the Commission's international activities.
This should be included as guidance to the Five Year Plan.
GPA and the EDO should better noordinate their international activities.
Both GPA and the EDO should develop procedures to ensure that the NRC is represented at technical international meetings by the appropriate technical experts and that the 4
experts are informed of and support the Commission's policies and positions on issues being addressed.
]
The planning and prioritisation of all international activities should be addressed through NRC's Five Year i
Plan to ensure that activities are appropriately focused and integrated to support the regulatory mission.
The number of NRC representatives traveling abroad (staff and contractors) should be reviewed on a priority basis and limited to those individuals necessary to accomplish the mission.
GPA/EDO should develop a mechanism for reporting foreign travel and what transpired overseas to the Coassission on a recurring basis.

l The Commission was briefed by the staff on the status and public comments of rulemaking efforts for both basic and comprehensive quality assurance requirements for medical uses of radioisotopes.
The Commission made the following requests:
The staff should communicate with states, interested i
parties, and health care communities to identify oppor-tunities for cooperation to foster improved programs for the medical use of isotopes.
The staff should contact the Agreement States to obtain any available data on medical misadministrations to supplement NRC's data base.
The staff should arrange for the Commission to be briefed by the NRC's Medical Advisory Committee and representative professional societies on positive steps that can be taken to improve quality assurance for medical use of isotopes.
The staff should submit for Commission consideration an options paper on ensuring quality in the medical appli-cation of byproduct materials.
The options should include performance based quality assurance requirements containing specific elements necessary for implementation.
(option 2, as presented in the briefing material.)
Commissioner Bernthal requested the staff to provide the basis for staff's determination that some fraction of misadmini-strations reported as abnormal occurrences could likely result in adverse health effects.
He also expressed concern as to whether the threshold implied by such a determination comports with that used elsewhere by the Commission to determine adverse health effects, APRIL 1, 1988 ENCLOSURE O
