Meetino with GAO Investicators -
On November 12, 1986, Division of Waste Management staff members met with GAO staff representatives investigating DOE's Site Characterization Program for the high-level waste repository. The investigation by GAO is being conducted in response to a request by Representative Markey. The discussions centered primarily on general information regarding NRC's role in the site characterization stage of the national program and NRC's concerns raised in review of DOE's Project Decision Schedule.
The investigators plan to visit the DOE project offices at the three first-round candidate sites and plan to meet with the NRC on-site licensing representatives during these visits.
Mixed Waste John Davis, Director, NMSS, is scheduled to meet with Dr. Win Porter (EPA) on Ncvember 21 to review the progress of ongoing NRC/ EPA interactions on mixed waste. Discussions will be focused on definition of mixed waste, siting criteria and location standards for new facility development, RCRA permitting of existing facilities, and incineration as a viable option for mixed waste management.
Allied Chemical Company On November 3-7, 1986, representatives of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS), Region II, and the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety conducted an announced team inspection at the Allied Chemical Company facility in Metropolis, Illinois.
The inspection focused on completion of open items identified in previous inspections.
Comparison of actions taken at Allied with those taken at Sequoyah Fuels, and Allied p
responses to the Lessons Learned Recommendations.
On Friday, November 7, a close-out meeting with Allied management was conducted to discuss the findings of the inspection team. The results of the inspection will be documented in Inspection Report No. 40-3392/86005.

20/3D Through INEL and ORNL, NRC/RES provided advanced two-phase flow instruments to the Germany Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF) in return for the test data.
Some of these instruments have degraded or in some cases failed during the facility shakedown tests and the subsequent main tests performed over the past 12 months. In addition to these instrumentation problems, the Germans have experienced some facility problems not related to the US instrumentation, such i
as a leakage in the test vessel and an unsatisfactory performance of large, J
quick-opening values.
In order to correct these facility and instrumentation problems, the Germans are planning to shut down the facility in January-February 1987. During the project coordination meeting which was held on October 21-24, 1986, at MPR Associates, Inc., Washington, DC,' the U. S.
activities for the upcoming UPTF outage period were discussed and agreed upon.
i Detailed plans will be sent to FRG by the end of November 1986. RES is providing the maximum support to the UPTF within available~ funding limits. As part of the concerted effort RES personnel will visit INEL during the week of November 17, 1986 to assure that everything which should be done to refurbish US instrumentation during the planned outage period is being done expedi-i i
tiously.
In particular, current US plans are to replace 23 damaged drag-disc paddles, supply 19 new drag-body transducer assemblies with associated AC i
electronics (for all drag-bodies), improve the signal of the fluid distribution grid elements and adjust the nose-cones on 36 turbine meters to prevent separation.
4 International Code Assessment and Applications Program (ICAP) i.
The second management group meeting of the ICAP program was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Bethesda, Maryland on November 3-5, 1986. Twenty two foreign j
scientists / engineers representing fourteen European and Asian countries as well as thirty national laboratory personnel, NRC staff members and U. S. industry i
representatives were present at the meeting.
i The purpose of the ICAP program is to provide an independent assessment of i
NPsC's thermal hydraulic computer codes developed for analysis of postulated i
reactor transients and breaks. The assessment results will be used by the staff to quantify code uncertainty of predictions of reactor safety analyses.
The ultimate goal of the ICAP is to determine the accuracy of the codes used i
for transient and loss of coolant accident analyses for full scaled nuclear power plants.

Currently, RES has bilateral agreements with Belgium, Finland, France, F. R. Germany, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the Coordination Council for North American Affairs and the American Institute in Taiwan.
Four proposed agreements are under negotiation with Austria, Ispra, Japan and Yugoslavia.
Dr. D. Ross, Deputy Director, RES opened the 3-day meeting by reviewing its purpose, important issues to be addressed, major program milestones completed, work planned for FY 1987, as well as significant ICAP findings. Dr. Ross reviewed several significant code deficiencies reported by the ICAP partici-pants. The elimination of these deficiencies will enhance the scientific and technical basis for regulatory decisions. Dr. B. Sheron of NRR also presented a paper on Regulatory Significance of the ICAP program.
The next ICAP meeting, an ICAP Specialist meeting for discussion of code user experience and exchange of technical information, will be held on January 19-21, 1987 at the Atomic Energy Establishment, Winfrith, Dorset, England.
