1.0 BACKGROUND
The Defense Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 1999 amended the Energy Reorganization Act to give the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission authority over "Any facility under contract with and for the account of the Department of Energy that is utilized for the express purpose of fabricating mixed plutonium-uranium oxide nuclear reactor fuel for use in a commercial nuclear reactor heensed under such Act, other than any such facility that is utilized for research, development, demonstration, or analysis purposes."
In March 1999, the Department of Energy (DOE) contracted with the consortium of Duke Engineering, Cogema Inc., and Stone & Webster, commonly referred to as DCS, for the design, construction and operation of a mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility to generate fuel for a select number of nuclear power reactors in the U.S. The NRC will have regulatory
. authority for this facility and expects to receive a license application from DCS at the end of
. Fiscal Year 2000.
The NRC anticipates licensing the construction and operation of a MOX fuel fabrication facility under 10 CFR Part 70, which is currently under revision (see 64 Federal Reoister 41338). To
_ prepare for the license application, the NRC is preparing guidance in the form of a facility
' specific MOX standard review plan (SRP). The MOX SRP will be used to assist NRC staff in its review of the license application.
Material Control & Accounting (MC&A) is one area that will be covered in the MOX SRP.
Technical assistance is required in the area of MC&A to review the material that NRC prepares
2.0; OBJECTIVE.
The objective of this work is to provide the NRC with technical assistance to review and comment on the MC&A area of the MOX SRP.
