SUMMARY
. Siemens Power Corporation !
l NRC Inspection Report 70-1257/98-05 l
This routine, announced inspection included a review of selected aspects of operational safety, l operational event review feedback, management / organization, and followup of open items from l previous inspections.
Ooerations Operations involving the processing of special nuclear material were in accordance with established safety requirements (Section 1.1).
Operational Event Review Feedback The review of Event Report 34819 was vicered to headquarters for further investigation i due to the criticality safety issues associated with the event. An unresolved item was I identified relating to the event. This item will be reviewed and documented in NRC Inspection Report 70-1257/98-204 (Section 2.1).
Manaaement/Oraanization The licensee's management and organization met license requirements. The licensee's audit program was being conducted in accordance with the license conditions and appeared effective in identifying deficiencies (Section 3.1).

ReDort Details Summarv of Plant Status
! The plant was operating Unes 1 and 3 of the dry conversion facility (DCF). Uranium recovery activities were also in operation. Fuel pellet production, fuel rod loading and downloading, and fuel bundle assembly operations were also in progress.
i l 1 Operational Safety Review (Tl2600/003) 1.1 Plant Ooerations l
I- a. . Insoection Scope General facility operations were reviewed to verify adherence to safety requirements documented in license conditions, criticality safety specifications, operating procedures, l and area postings.
u
- b. Observatians and Findinas The inspectors reviewed the normal operating procedures for the Dry Conversion
' Facility (DCF), the Criticality Safety Specifications (CSS) for the DCF vaporization and powder production systems, and the CSS for plant-wide moderation control. The inspectors observed operations in the DCF and noted the safety-related process parameters used for monitoring moderation controls at various stages of the DCF 1 process. The inspectors interviewed several operators in various operational areas of !
the DCF and found them to be knowledgeable in their assigned duties. The inspectors !
found no safety-related parameters outside the approved operating ranges for ensuring moderation control. The inspectors also observed area safety postings throughout the facility for criticality and radiological controls. The inspectors found no discrepancies l
between safety postings and observed operating practices. The physical condition of the safety equipment and the housekeeping in the DCF was observed to be adequate.
Work involving respiratory protection equipment was observed in the scrap recovery l areas of the ammonium diuranate (ADU) process area. The inspectors found no f.
discrepancies in the use of safety equipment or the special safety postings in use for the work in the contaminated areas.
- l. The inspectors observed operations in the pelletizing, rod loading, bundle assembly, and p scrap recovery areas. The inspectors interviewed several operators in these areas and L also found them to be knowledgeable in their operations. The inspectors compared the
! ' observed operations with license requirements, safety postings, and established
, criticality controls for moderation, mass, geometry, and ccntainer spacing. The
! inspectors found no significant discrepancies.
o
c. Conclusion
Operations involving the processing of special nuclear material were in accordance with established safety requirements.
2 Operational Event Review Feedback (88002) 2.1 Insoection Scope l'
The inspectors reviewed licensee procedures for reviewing and reporting of off-normal <
operating conditions or events associated with licensed activities. Event Report 34819, !
" Event Description for Bulletin 91-0124-br Report," was investigated for an incident involving a failure to follow a criticality safety requirement to remove visible solids from l ductwork during disassembly and prior to placing the ductwork in an accumulation area.
2.2. Observations and Findinos On September 22,1998, the licensee issued " Event Description for Bulletin 91-0124-hr Report," for an event that occurred on September 21,1998. The report described the disassembly of the plant's ADU Conversion Line 1. During the disassembly, the criticality safety specialist noticed that a stacked section of ductwork had visible accumulations of solids in portions of the ductwork. This was contrary to the plant's
! CSS UO50 i B.2. which requires that the disassembly crew have a process operator remove the visible solids from the ductwork prior to placing it in an accumulation area.
The inspectors reviewed the Shift Supervisor's Abnormal Event Log dated September 21,1998, the incident Investigation Board (118) review of the criticality safety incident dated September 23,1998, and Siemens' 30-day followup report dated October 20,1998.
A review of the event determined that mass and geometry were controlled for this
, operation. The moderator was not designed to be a controlling criticality parameter for this particular plant operation. During disassembly, the geometry was no longer being controlled when the vidble solids were not removed as specified in the applicable CSS.
This left mass as the only criticality parameter being controlled. The inspectors reviewed Standard Operating Procedure P66,917,"Line 1 and 2 Process Offgas l
Ventilation System," which describes a boroscopic inspection through ports in the ductwork. It was not clear in the review of this procedure or in discussion with plant personnel just how effective this process was in determining material accumulations to control mass.
l l The 118 short term corrective actions for ADU Line 1 and 2 included:
(1) training / retraining appropriate Manufacturing Engineering staff and contractors in the applicable criticality safety specifications for the work, (2) retraining Plant Support Operators who perform the inspection / cleaning, (3) conducting pre-job briefings of Plant Support supervisors, operators, and contractors by Manufacturing Engineering personnel and (4) inspecting ADU Line 2 ductwork inspection ports for accumulations of uranium before startup of Line 2. The long term corrective actions included:
(1) evaluation of relocating Line 2 HEPA filters closer to the scrubbers and replacing the l
5 ductwork using favorable geometry, (2) evaluation of a better method for conducting ductwork inspections and (3) a quarterly training program for Manufacturing Engineering personnel working on processes covered by CSS.
The inspectors noted that the llB's corrective actions for the event did not address the mid to senior level management role and responsibilities in this event. The llB's review of the incident and its causes did not include any responsibilities above the project engineer level; i.e., no higher level supervisory responsibilities for the operation. The inspectors noted that management's role should be evaluated during incident investigations.
After further discussion, it was decided that a continuation of NRC's review of this incident would be performed by headquarters with input from the regional inspectors due to the specialized technical nature of the remainder of the investigation. It was also decided that the NRC's conclusions related to this event would be reported in NRC Inspection Report 70-1257/98-204. The determination of whether a violation occurred and, if so, its related significance is considered an unresolved item (URl 70-1257/9805-01).
2.3. Conclusions The review of Event Report 34819 was referred to headquarters for further evaluation due to the criticality safety issues associated with the event. An unresolved item was i
! identified relating to this event. This item will be reviewed and documented in NRC ;
Inspection Report 70-1257/98-204. !
