Subject:
Opemtional Readiness Assessment (ORA) of the X-326 IMSA Vault for Cylinder Stemge prior to and immediately after Refeed Opemtions The ORA tam comprised of Mike Kelly, John Schwab, Steve Balko, Jeremy Smith. Salah Damish. Debbie Kielmar Len Sendek and myself has completed the Operation Readiness Assessment. 'Ihe assessment was performed during the period ofJuly 10 18,1997.
The attached signatures for specific elements were included to allow verification that all items were completed.
The following deficient conditions were identified: 1) Old NCS signs inside and outside of vault need removed. NCSA-032(024301 does not require signs. 2) General clean up is needed. 3) Relamping is needed. 4) Emergency lighting needs repaired and tested.
An c!Tective date will be established for the changes to the required Cascade Opemtion procedure to include the X 326 HASA Vauh. Also the required tmirung for those changes will be conducted pending the approval from the Depanment of Energy to proceed.
ne team has concluded that afler deficient conditions are conected there will be acceptable evidence of readiness to proceed with the use ofthe X-326 HASA Vault for storing cylinders prior to and immediately ader refeed.
He Repon of Conective Actions should be fonvarded to the team leader by July 29,1997 for verificmion.
This will allow for the assessment to be resiewed and submitted to DOE for approval.
