NIS-es-1-27 January 26, 1988 Mr. Thomas T. Martin, Director Div. of Radiation Safety & Safeguards U.

8. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406 Subject Inspection No. 70-371/s7-06 Reft Letter T. T. Martin to N. C.

Kaufman dated December 9, 1987 Dear Sir While not required to respond to your recent inspection, as no violations or deviations were noted, the following additional information and comments are givent Item 2.a of Details - Nuclear Criticality Safety Postinos The two NI8 authorizations for 2 different components (subfillers and fillers)' located on the hood of the x-ray in Unit 2 were consolidated into one authorization which was approved ead posted on october 30, 19s7.

i Item 2.b of Dengljs - Storace of Non-Fuel Components Paragraph 4.4.1 of the UNC operations Department Procedure (ODP) 300.21 states " All non-fuel components which appear

}

similar to fool components, e.g. fillers, elements, assemblies, shall be handled and stored as fuel-bearing l

components unless authorised otherwise by Nuclear and i

Industrial Safety in written form H.

The component in question had dimens!.ons and appearance dissimilar to any L

component presently manufactured at UNC and therefore it is

(

easily identified by UNC personnel as non-fuel and does noi need to be handled and stored as fuel.

1 Item 3.b of Details - Residual Analyses The high number of "residual" rejects (32) identified between Oct. 15, 1986 and Aug. 13, 1987 was due to special contract (B19 & B21) requirement to include sweeping of particular equipment immediately after several lots.

These particular special sweepings accounted for all of the 32 I

rejects.

The usual procedure is to sweep thir equipment weekly and store it as scrap material in the fuel vault as fuel scrap with a sample being sent to the chem Lab. for analysis.

These sweepings are normally not handled or stored as residuals and are not entered into the residual log.

As the B19 and B21 contracts come to a close, the reject level should return to normal (i.e. no rejects).

Very truly yours,
