A isting o e - u-e ephant un standar s is presente. in Table I. All materials used to fabricate these standards were analyzed by Teledyne, Ledoux and the facility Chemet laboratories. These standards were traceable to a National Measurement System (NMS) through analytical techniques employed by a zin laboratories using NBS I standard reference materials. Th % values were based upon only the facility Ch laboratory va' ues and were f abricated prior to the initiation of 10 CFR 70.57(b)(8) requirements to trace standards to a NHS ( April 18, 1979). The licensee has been given a license condition exempting traceability on these standards. All standards in use, have been tested, certified and approved for their use in performing NDA measurements.

- e. Lt. s -. ,e Cooditions Review License Conditions to Safeguards Amendment SG-1 to Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-1097, revised and amended May 9,1985, were reviewed during this inspection. The licensee was determined to be following the six license conditions applicable to SNM measurements by the Elephant Gun.
- f. FNMC Plan Review A review of the f acility FNMC Plan applicable to NDA measurements by the Elephant Gun NDA measurement system was conducted during this inspection. Sections 1.0 Organization, 3.0 Measurements, 4.0 Measurement Control Program, 8.0 Management and Appendix C-3, Specifically Accepted Safeguards Systems, provide descriptions and methods used to determine the U-235 content of SNM measurement by NDA techniques at the facility. This review indicated that the licensee was following his approvec FNMC plan for performing accountability treasurements by the Elephant Gun NDA measurement system.
- g. Standard Operating Procedures (50P) Review The licensee was determined to be using approved procedures to perform routine Elephant Gun measurement and control functions. A review of
- veral SOPS associated with Elephant Gun measurements was conducted do'ng this inspection. The licensee was judged to be following the requirements of the following key procedures.
(1) Process Requirement and Operator Document (PROD) No. 80-56, Revision 15, Elephant Gun, dated July 3,1985. 2.7.1.1, (2) Quality Control Operator Requirements (QCOR) No. Revision 13, Waste Box Drum Assay, dated January 24, 1985. (3) Quality Assurance Section Administrative Routine (QASAR) No. 320-60.15, Revision 3, Elephant Gun Standards, dated June 6, 1984. (4) Quality Notice (C 16, Revision 0, Feasibility Demon-stration of Usin() Calibration Check Data to Calibrate Elephant Gun, date une , 1984.

(6) QN-F-G-924, Revision 0, Certification of Elephant Gun Standards, dated June 10, 1980. (7) QN-F-G-1034, Revision 0, Certification of Elephant Gun Metal Box Standards, dated September 15,- 1981. (8) QN-F-G-908, Revision 0, Attenuation Factor Tests on Waste Boxes, dated August 18, 1980.
- h. Replicate Measurements and Control Charts Controls standards were measured at the beginning of each measurement ,
session for each geometry measured. Durin accountability period ) of August 13, 1984 through August 5, 1985 control standards for : metal and wooden boxes a 5- lon d were measured. The inspector determined that control s ard measurements exceeded the 9 5*. signifi 'evel and control standard measurements exceeded the 99*; significance eve . It was determined that the licensee had taken corrective actions in each instance and was csmplying with their approved FNMC plan and procedural requirements.
- i. Training and Requalification The inspector's examination of operator qualifying data for operation of Elephant Gun, indicated that each operator had been qualified in accordance with approved internal facility procedures. Operator training qualifications emphasized on-the-job actual experience rather than formal classroom type training. In addition to the written examinations being performed, operator qualification encompassed a demonstration of equipment operations and data manipulation functions in an acceptable manne ing was performed, in a like manner, i at intervals less than as required. At the time of this ;
inspection, two operat rs had een qualified to perform NDA measure-ments by Elephant Gun measurement technique. Training qualifications and certifications for each operator were documented. Competent . operations of the Elephant Gun measurement system by both certified ' operators were observed during this inspection.

}
A test of the Elephant Gun measurement system's ability to perform acceptable accountability measurements for SNM content was performed i during this inspection. The test consisted of using the facility 2 ' equipment, measurement techniques and measurement operator to perform - measurements by the licensee. on ten scrap / waste boxes that had previously been measured _g The inspector selected boxes with various U-235 d e conte'its which Th cov? red the range in which the system is normally "_ 1 i inal measurement value of these boxes amounted to '5 The remeasured value of the boxes amaunted to i { n The diffarence in t measurements is within tha T terval of level.

7 The inspector determined that the licensee was meeting the requirements of paragraph 1.8.1, 4.1.3, and 8.2.1 of his approved FNMC plan and license co by conducting management audits of his measurements program on a ycle. The latest management audit was completed in Decem er 4 and included an evaluation of all facility measurement systems. This audit was performed by corporate auditors of the Nuclear Energy Product and Quality Assurance Operation (NEP and QAO) department. This audit assessed the adequacy of compliance with regulations and determined the effectiveness of the program to detect covert diversion of SNM. The details and findings of the December 1984 management audit were included in Inspection Report No. 70-1113/85-09.
- 6. (92701) Followup on Inspector Identified Items
- a. (Closed) Inspector Followup Item 84-01-01: An evaluation of samples taken for verification of the SNM contained in an overseas shipment indicated no significant difference at the 0.05 significance level.
- b. (Closed) Inspector Followup Item 84-08-01: An evaluation of samples taken for verification of'the SNM contained in an overseas shipment of SNM indicated no significant difference at the 0.05 significance level.
- 7. Independent Inspection Effort (92713)
A tour of the manufacturing facilities was conducted during this inspection. Observations and examination of procedural requirements in the areas of i material control and nuclear safety and criticality were emphasized during ; the tour. No violations or deviations from approved procedural requirements were noted. l l l l 1
