IIGPECTIO11 VIOLATION N

  • t In respouse to a telephona requast on Bovenber 21, 1974, by 5.am Bryan, ~

the attaejusant represents a chronology of violation h!.ntory resulting fro::t criticality, health physics, material control, and physical security inspections of Kerr-HcGee's uranium and plutonium facilities.

The Kerr-HeGoa physical security plan has been effectively implemented.

Initini inspection of the new plan in May,1974 identified several violations, but a subs'equent followup inspection in Septostor,1974 indicated reopensive corrective action. In general, Korr-HeGee has been recponsive to correcting violations associated with untorial control requirencats. Ou occasion, the Kerr-}!cGeo impiccentation of the ncv,

( changing material control requirements, particularly the ones pertaining I

to the statistical and measurenant prograe.s, have been less ehty.

During recent nonths, Korr-;teGee's major portion of safeguards effort in this area has been directed to the Pu facility as cargared to the low enriched uraniun facility.

There have been ntsuerous criticality safety violations in the ,

past two years, indicative of a lack of effectivo manst.e:nant control.

There has been an inprovemont in this area in the past year, but the inattention of Kerr-P.ccoe canager.:nt to so:::c license' coac:itments and theso violations have reduced to some degree the esfety factor of the criticality safety program.

Kerr-!!cCoe has, in general, been respcasive to correcting items of noncoepliance identified as a result of routine and special besith l

physics inspections. The Plutonissa aca Urantun Plant health physica l

l staffs have been found to be capabla and staffed with qualified ,

supervisory parsonnel. Corporate management safety personnal on occanions have been slas in responding to natters neoding prompt attention. A neating with Kerr-ticGee corporate management was held 8610290254 861023 gj ff /(ly ., ;2.<p.f[

.I on November 2.1973, by the P.egicnal Director and staff to discuss this

' and other matters of concern. A recent example of slow response occurred i when the medical consultant did not arrive in Oklahoms City until November 9, two days after T.aren silkwood's fecal and urine sarples ,

3 were found to be highly cont efanted. Plant health physics procedures, equipment, and facilitias have been found to be satisfactory.
