SUBJECT:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit No.1; Docket No. 50-317 Transfer of Radioactive Materials to the Ooerating License
REFERENCE:
(a)
Letter from Mr. C. H. Cruse (BGE) to NRC Document Control Desk dated March 11, 1997, Transfer of Radioactive Materials to the Operating License This letter provides information to supplement the Cenificate of Disposition of Materials (NRC l0 Form 314) submitted by Reference (a).
In Reference (a), Baltimore Gas and Electric Company reported that all radioactive materials held at this facility under Byproduct Material License No. 19-02486 08 were transferred to Operating License DPR-53 with the exception of two 10-micro-curie CS-137 sources. Our records showed that these two sources were received, but we could find no record to show that they had been either disposed of or M))
transferred to the operating license.
We have conducted an exhaustive search of the approximately 23-year-old records both here and at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Energy Systems Division (the supplier of the sources). The search at Calvert Cliffs revealed that the two sources had been replaced by Westinghouse on November 16,1976 at no charge, but there is no record that showed why they were replaced other than some handwritten notes on a receiving invoice, dated May 24,1974, identifying these two sources as having excessive external contamination. Westinghouse could not find any additional records of the transaction, but a Westinghouse engineer, who was involved in the transactien at the time, remembered that the sources were replaced on information from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power. Plant that the sources were unacceptable. Westinghouse's understanding at that time was that Baltimore Gas and Electric Company would dispose of the unacceptable sources. We are still unable to find a record at Calvert Cliffs specific to these sources to show disposal. Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc. informed us that, in the 1974-1976 timeframe, sources of 10 micro-curies and below were not required to be listed separately on the shipping manifest. Chem-Nuclear operates the Barnwell, SC, disposal site. We believe these two 10-micro-curie sources were shipped to a disposal site with other low-level wue and that no record specific to the sources was made, in keeping with the shipping rules at the time.
