- HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT WEEK ENDING JUNE 12, 1987 Shoreham The Shoreham reactor was placed in the shutdown mode on June 8,1987, after completion of the third round of low-power testing. The licensee did encounter one problem during the tests. One of the two HPCI ,
test-line MOVs failed to close when that valve was signaled to close. i However, both MOVs closed when a signal was given to both valves !
simultaneously, as would have been the care if the valves were !
realigned for HPCI injection. The licensee is investigating the !
failure.
l Preliminary Notification (PN)
On June 10, 1987 the staff prepared a Preliminary Notification (PN) and a Information Notice (IN) that addressed reported statements made by Iranian officials regarding nuclear reactors. The PN and IN indicated the nature of the statements and that,no action by licensees was warranted at this time.
Generic Safeguards Information Staff attorney from the Udall Committee has advised OCA that the proposed wording for the NRC legislative proposal for protecting generic Safeguards Information (HR 1319) is not acceptable. NMSS has been working with OGC to develop a compromise that would satisfy our needs and the Committee's concerns. It is apparent that an agreement will be reached before the June 18, 1987 markup date.

Palo Verde Unit 3 On June 5, 1987, during a test of the refurbished 3 B diesel engine at Palo Verde Unit 3, an automatic trip of the engine occurred when the engine didn't reach rated speed within an allotted time. Preliminary examination by the licensee hos determined the presence of water in the No. 8 right cylinder and in the lube oil. This cylinder is adjacent to the No. 9 cylinders which had thrown rods during the December 1986 test causing severe damage. The current test was the start of the testing program to demonstrate the operability of the repaired engine. The ;

0FFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS Items of Interest Week Ending June 12, 1987 Burial of Radioactive Material at Irradiator Facility Site In December 1986 the Radiation Safety Officer at Radiation Technology, Inc.
(RTI) in Rockaway, NJ began .a study to determine where radioactive materials were buried on RTI's propertv. The licensee made initial radiation surveys and exploratory excavations 3f areas where burials were believed to have occurred. Although one of the excavations gave positive indications of radiation, subsequent soil and water samples did not reveal any radioactivity leading to the conclusion that contained radioactive source (s) may be buried at this location.
On March 24, 1987, Region I issued a Confirmatory Action Letter that documented RTI's commitment to: (1) comprehensively survey the portion of RTI's property suspected of containing buried radioactive material; (2) develop a plan to detect buried matter non-invasively; and (3) inform Region I before performing any invasive action to explore or uncover buried material.
RTI has completed these actions and identified several areas for further evaluation.
On June 4, 1987 one of these areas was excavated revealing two containers, one of which read 200 millirems per hour at its surface. Samples from this " hot"-
container have been taken to Region I for analysis, which is not yet completed.
At Region I's request, Oak Ridge Associated Universities performed an independent radiological survey'of the unrestricted areas of RTI's property. i Although several items of low-level radioactivity were found on the property, j nothing of health and safety significance was detected, j Region I is continuing to monitor RTI's activities in this area closely. In addition, the State of New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection i plans to perform a " Remedial Investigation / Feasibility Study" to determine the 1
. presence and cause of hazardous chemicals known to be contaminating ground water in the area of RTI.

, 4 RES RULEMAKING ACTIVITIES Amendment to Assign NRC Sole Authority for Approving Onsite LLW Disposal (10 CFR 150) i This rulemaking would establish NRC's sole authority for approving onsite l disposal of low-level waste at all NRC-licensed reactors and at Part 70 fuel j cycle facilities. There is a need to amend 10 CFR Part 150.15 to authorize "
one agency (the NRC) to regulate all such onsite disposal of low-level waste in order to provid.e a more comprehensive regulatory review procedure of all onsite waste management activities and to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort.
The rulemaking package was approved by the ED0 for initiation on May 19, 1987.
Acceptance Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) for Light Water Nuclear Power Reactors (10 CFR 50)
The proposed rule would amend regulations concerning acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) by allowing the use of realistic t methods to demonstrate that an.ECCS would protect the nuclear reactor core during a loss-of-coolant accident.
On May 15, 1987, draft NUREG-1230, " Compendium of ECCS Research for Realistic LOCA Analysis," was issued for public comment. NUREG-1230 identifies the technical basis for the proposed emergency core cooling system rule revision published in the Federal Register on' March 3,1987(52 FR6334). The public comment period for both documents will end on July 1, 1987.

State, Local and Indian Tribe Programs Veekly Highlights - June 11, 1987 j Airport Explosives Detector The State of California has announced that a neutron luggage examination project to screen explosives in airline luogage has begun a four-week trial at the TWA facility in San Francisco International Airport.
The system was developed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) of Sunnyvale, California under a contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The system bombards luggage with neutrons from a California-252 source and detects explosives. Although there is very slight induced radioactivity, the radionuclides in the luggage decay to levels of natural background radiation within minutes. This pro.4ct will run from ;
June 2,1987 to July 10, 1987 and will involve cargo-told luggage only.
Travelers will be informed and brochures about the new explosives detection system are available for passengers whose luggage will be examined in the project. NRC provided technical assistance to the State in reviewing the application for this prototype test. There is a potential for this type of device to be used at all major airports.
State Program Review The Mississippi radiation control program will be reviewed the week of June 15, 1987 by Region 11. William Adam, newly appointed State Agreements Officer, will assist as part of his orientation and training.
Region til - Meeting with Ohio PUC Board Chairman Roland Lickus, Region III RSLO, arranged and subsequently participated in a meeting held June 10, 1987, in Columbus, Ohio, between Martin Virgilio, NRR Project Director, Edward Shomaker, OGC FOIA Specialist and Ohio PVC Board Chairman Thomas Chema, who was serving as a special representative for Governor Celeste. The purpose of the meeting was to address safety questions concerning the Perry Nuclear Power Plant based on the State of Ohio's dis-covery)of Report the existence of a 1975 GE proprietary report (known as the Reedwh and operation of GE BWR-6 nuclear power plants. A press conference was held immediately following the meeting. As a result of this meeting, Ohio officials indicated that they may ask both the NRC, who reviewed the report in 1976, and GE to provide a copy of the Reed Report for the PUC Board's consideration in regard to their economic regulatory responsibilities.
Region V - Vashington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) Annual Workshop On June 4-5, 1987, the Region V Regional State Liaison Officer (RSLO) participated in the Annual EFSEC Workshop held at Quinault, WA. tie served on a panel with FEMA and State representatives to address emergency response issues, including the proposed rule change to NRC emergency planning regula-tions.

, Technical Training Center The Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System (SNUPPS) Simulator Proje.ct (Westinghouse' design) is continuing to proceed ahead of schedule. The upgrade of the SNUPPS-1 simulator to the SNUPPS-2 design went smoother than anticipated, allowing advancement of the project schedule by 2 weeks. Members of the Technical Training Center (TTC) staff were in Zion, Illinois during the week of June 8,1987 to conduct testing of the SNUPPS-1 simulator with the newly installed upgrades. This testing went well and allowed for correction of steam generator level modeling problems identified by the TTC staff in earlier weeks. These corrections were made at no cost to the NRC, en action which would
- not have been possible if the project had not been ahe6d of schedule. The SNUPPS simulator is now anticipated to arrive at the TTC on approximately June 22, 1987.
, Building modifications associated with the SNUPPS simulator at the TTC are also progressing in line with the advanced overall project schedule.
The Technical Training Needs Survey conducted by the TTC for the balance of FY 1987, FY 1988, and FY 1989 has been completed and analyzed. The results are believed to be too conservative, e.g., an underestimate of the training needs.
Highlights of the survey results were presented in a meeting of senior management from AE0D, NRR, RES, NMSS, and Personnel. Necessary adjustments to the quantity of training identified in the needs survey are being provided to AEOD by the program offices. The revisions will be included in the AEOD budget.
CRGR CRGR Meeting No. 116 was held on June 10, 1987. Three issues were considered.
Final rule amendments to 10 CFR 30, 40, 50, 51, 70 and 72 concerning requirements for decommissioning nuclear facilities were reviewed and approval was recommended.
subject to certain modifications. A proposed generic letter request for information from reactor licensees regarding cperations with a partially drained RCS was reviewed. The CRGR recommended approval, with modifications.
A proposed generic letter correcting the implementation of 10 CFR 73.57 Criminal History rule was reviewed. This letter would assure that all workers applying to be granted clearance (access) would receive temporary clearance contincent upon fingerprint submittal to the NRC. Thus, CRGR recommended approval of the.
proposed generic letter.

- 1. On June 8,1987, Mr. J. G. Keppler and the Office of Special Projects .
(0SP) staff met with Mr. S. A. White and TVA representatives to discuss the contents and implementation of an independent design / construction verification for Sequoyah. The independent verification was the subject of a June 2,1987 letter to Mr. S. A. White from Mr. J. G. Keppler. The letter stated TVA engineering and design efforts to date have not included a vertical review through one or more safety systems that would include significant aspects of the interactions and interfaces throughout design, engineering, and construc-tion. Mr. Keppler indicated in the letter that an independent design /construc-tion verification of at least one safety system should be conducted to provide additional assurance that all major design and construction problems have been identified and resolved prior to Sequoyah Unit 2 restart.
During the meeting, TVA asserted that a verification conducted by its Engineering Assurance organization would provide the requisite degree of independence and could be conducted faster than if TVA was required to hire an independent contractor to perform the verification. However, Mr. Keppler decided that the verification should be conducted by either an independent contractor or the NRC, Since TVA indicated it was unable at that time to commit to hire a contractor, it was determined that the NRC with contractor assistance would perform an Integrated Design Inspection (IDI). The IDI will be conducted by the NRC on the Essential Raw Cooling Water System at Sequoyah Unit 2.
Also discussed during the meeting were the missing civil engineering calcula-tions. Mr. Keppler informed TVA that to the extent practical all 5,000 missing calculations should be regenerated prior to the restart of Sequoyah Unit 2.
- 2. The Office of Special Projects sent a letter to TVA on June 9,1987 indicating that the staff has accepted the restart criteria contained in the Nuclear Performance Plans for Sequoyah and Browns Ferry. These criteria are used to determine which items need to be addressed prior to unit restart based on considerations such as safety significance, technical specification compliance and conformance to FSAR commitments. The letter stated that the acceptance was subject to two clarifications (1) that the words~"significant probability" and "high probability" as used in the criteria would continue to be interpreted conservatively and (2) that deviations from the FSAR not previously reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 will be brought to the attention of the NRC. A meeting discussing the restart criteria was previously held with TVA on June 4, 1987.
