ENCLOSURE Kerr-McGeeNuckcarCorporation License No. SNM-1174 ,

The fol" lowing apparent violations of AEC requirements are considered to be of Category II severity: ..

1. License Condition 3.5, Amendment No'. MPP-1, License No. SNM-1174 states: " Material accounting data shall be adjusted for,any measurement bias, as determined under Condition 3.3.2, which exceeds 10% of its standard deviation."

Contrary to the above, your accounting data are not adjusted for biases (analytical and weighing) which exceed 10% of their standard dev.iations.

2. License Condition 6.3 requires the use of tamper-safing seals, and your material control and accounting plan, which you are required to follou by License Condition 6.1, describes the uses of these seals.

Contrary to the above requirements, you have not yet initiated the use of tamper-safing seal.

3. License Condition 6.4.2 states: "All special nuclear material ,

shall be measured at the time of physical inventory except those

. Items previously measured whose integrity has been maintained by tamper-safing and those items exempted by Condition 3.1.1.,. . .".

Contrary to the above requirement, the net balance of your physical inventory conducted July 2, 1974, included 17.6 kilograms of unmeasured plutonium, the quantity established as unmeasured lioldup in June 1973 by "by difference" calculation. The toen1 holdup quantity of 18.7 kilograms plutonium includes this unmeasured

, portion plus the measured value of 1.1 kilograms plutonium per-I mitted by License Condition 6.4.3.1.

l l 4. License Condition 3.3.2 states: "A standards program shall be maintained to provide a minimum of two measurements of standards per week for each measurement type.,"

The program has been impicmented, but contrary to the above, you have not achieved the required frequency in the measurements of radioassay standards.

Program Weaknesses:

1. The gamma autoradiography system by which each fuel pin is non-destructively overchecked is considered an acceptable means of

' complying with License Condition 3.2. However, there is no pro-cedure identifying and describing the use of gac:na autoradiography as a safeguards system. ,
