DOCKET N0: 70_371 LICENSEE: UNC Naval Products Division of UNC Resources, Inc. ,

FACILITY: ~Montville, Connecticut

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT, AMENDMENT APPLICATION DATED ftAY 30, 1986 RE INSPECTION TABLE Backgrolnd UNC inepects specified components on a table during the fabrication processes. ,

In the amendment application, UNC requests authority to have one container of components on the table as well as the components to be inspected.

, Discuss'g The applicant has calculated the neutron interaction between the stack of comprnents in a container and the planar array of components on the inspection table. The applicant used boundary conditions for the KENO-IV calculation which approximates an infinite planar array of inspection tables. The applicant reported a k-effecti /e of 0.9032. The applicant smeared the fuel in the component over the assigned space on the inspection table. This is slightly non-conservative for components which could be in close contact with the con-tainer of components. The staff agrees, however, that the k-effective is about 0.9.

Conclusion / Recommendation The staff concludes that che container of specified components can safely be processed in a container and on the specified component inspection table.

Approval of the application is recommended.
