r DETAILS 1.0 Key Persons Contacted

• R. Gregg, Director, Technical Services

Pavelski, Internal Control Custodian M. Kelly, Statistician The inspector also interviewed other employees involved in the control and accounting of special nuclear material (SNM).

• present at exit interview 2.0 Facility Organization and Management Controls The inspector determined, through a review of the licensee's material control and accounting (MC&A) procedures, that the licensee is maintaining and following a management system that provides for the development, revision, implementation and enforcement of MC&A procedures. The system provides for written approval of MC&A procedures and any revisions to those procedures by the individual with overall MC&A responsibility and by plant management.

Records of training were reviewed that indicated implementation of the licensee's Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan (FhMCP) commitments to have staff members and SNM custodians, assigned to MC&A functions, receive training that is commensurate with job responsibilities.

The inspector reviewed and discussed with licensee management the annual review and audit of the MC&A procedures and management of the overall system of SNM, including the ongoing SNM Measurement Control Program. The audit was conducted during June and July,1987, and the results were documented in the licensee's Report No. 87-06, SNM/FNMCP, dated August 18, 1987. The audit identified several minor deficiencies and some recommenda-tions were made to management for improvements. Management took correc-tive actions on tne deficiencies, and responded to the recommendations in a timely manner.

3.0 Facility Operations and Internal Cuntrols The inspector. reviewed the licensee's FNMCP and procedures related to shipping and receiving, and the Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (DOE /NRC Form-741), which documented SNM receipts and shipments for the period January 1,1987- December 31, 1987.

3 All SNM receipts and shipments were accurately accounted for and the shippe 's and receiver's met;urement data were properly documented on DOE /NRC Form-741. The if censee was appropriately scheduling receipts and shipments and all shipper receiver dif ferences for the period under review were evaluated for statistical significance, investigated and reconciled, as required by the licensee's procedures. There was only one significant shipper-receiver difference that was resolved through umpira analysis on October 19, 1987. This was spplicable to Lot #3211F, which was received on April 29,1987 (KAS-K05-162).
