SUMMARY
WESTINGHOUSE COLUMBIA FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY NRC INSPECTION REPORT 70-1151/97-205 The NRC performed an announced criticality safety inspection at the Westinghouse Columbia
. Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) in Columbia, South Carolina, from August 25-29,1997, The objective of the inspection was initially to review the licensee's root cause analysis and corrective action implementation following the June 23,1997, Pellet Line 1 Granulator Hopper loss of volume control event. The inspection was subsequently expanded to reWew the +
licensee's handling of the August 25,1997, Line 1 Pellet Grinder Ventilation Accumulator loss of volume control. As a result of the inspection, seven apparent violations were identified as follows:
- 1. Inadequate incident investigations of events as evidenced by;
- a. The failure to adequately implement a structured methodology for determining and characterizing the root causes of the June 22,1997, Granulator Hopper loss of mass contingency event (Detail 3.b.2 ).
- b. The failure to adequately implement RA-111, Safety Significant Investigations, requirements for implementing corrective actions for the identified root causes in a timely manner (Detail 3.b.1).
- c. The' ,iure to determine the root cause(s) for the August 25,1997, Pellet Area Ve, Jation System Moisture Dropout Tank unanalyzed condition prior to system restart on August 26,1997 (Detail 5.b.1).
- 2. The failure to conduct adequate criticality safety evaluations (CSE) for each significant portion of a process to identify the specific controls necessary to assure safe operation, and incorporate those controls into the process design criteria documentation, as evidenced by the following:
- a. The 1996 Granulator Hopper CSE identified volume control as necessary to assure safe operation for this significant portion of the process, even though the system print reflected the actual unfavorable volume dimensions, and did not incorporate that control into process design criteria as of June 22,1997 (Detail 4.b.1).
- b. The 1993 Pellet Area Ventilation System CSE identified volume control for the moisture dropout tank modification as necessary to assure safe operation for this significant portion of the process, even though the system print reflected the actual unfavorable volume dimensions, and did not incorporate that control into pr, cess design criteria as of August 25,1997 (Detail 5.b.2).
3
- 3. The failure to functionally verify that controls identified as necessary for the safe operation of a process were installed to match the requirements identified in the design criteriaf as evidenced by:
- a. The installed granulator hopper volume assumed in the CSE as favorable (about 39 liters), was found to be actually unfavorable (43 liters) on June 23,1997 (Detail 4.b.2).
- b. The installed moisture dropout tank vo!ume assumed in the CSE as favorable (5 gallons), was found to be actually unfavorable (about 20 gallons) 09 August 25,1997 (Detail 5.b.3).
- 4. The failure to update CSEs to assure that all assumptions, including credible upset conditions, are ju;tified, documented and independently rev;ewed, as evidenced by;
- a. As of August 29,1997, the Granulato? Hopper CSE was not updated following the June 23,1997, event to reflect the physical changes made to the system and the independent review was inadequate (Detail 4.b.4),
- b. The Pellet Area Ventilation System C.SE was not updated to reflect all of the analytical changes and new controls added to the moisturc dropout tank, and no independent review was conducted prior to restart of the system on August 26,1997 (Detail 5.b.43 .
- c. As of August 29,1997, the CSEs for the Granulation & Compaction, Pellet Press Area and Sintering Furnace processes did not document or justify the assumptions used, including credible process upsets, and the independent reviews were inadequate (Detail 6.b).
- 5. The failure to control Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluations, Analyses and Methodology Validations in accordance with written procedures that specify the management program for licensed activity records, and maintain those records for the life of the facility in that:
- a. CA 004, Columbia Records Management Policy, the procedure identified by the licensee as implementing the management program, was inadequate in that it did not identify Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluations, Analyses and Methodology Validations as records to be included under the program. In addition, the program established under CA-004 would be inadequate for the control of those records in that it established no guidance!.equirements for the maintenance and control of the safety basis documents (Detail 7.b).
- b. The original Nuclear Safety Analysis for the Granulator Hopper, a prior nuclear criticality safety analysis, was not maintained for the life of the p! ant, in that it could not be located during the week of August 25-29,1997 (Detail 7.b).
- 6. The failure to notify the NRC Operations Center within four hours of the determination that a criticality safety analysis or evaluation was deficient and that double contingency protection, in fact, does not exist, as evidenced by;
y
. ; 4
- a. The August 25,1997; discovery that the Pellet Area Ventilation System moisture
' dropout tanks'were not volume controlled. Double contingency protection did not exist in that no controls were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.0 of the license. No four-hour report was made to the NRC Operations Center (Detail 4
8.b.1),
- b. The June 23,1997, discovery that the Granulator Hopper was not volume controlled.
Less than Double Contingency protection remained (volume), greater than a safe mass was involved (the accumulated Uranium Dioxide (UO 2) mass exceeded the 100 kilogram
_ (kg) mass contingency limit identified in the fault tree analysis), and double contingency protection was not restored within four hours. The event should have been reported by 11:00 a.m., instead of 11:40 p.m., on June 23,1997 (Detail 8.b.2).
I
- 7. The failure to develop or implement nuclear criticality safety procedures and policies that identify the requirements for implementation of aoplicable NRC regulations and license conditions, as evidenced by the following (Detail 9.b):
- a. The Verification Program (License Section 6.2.1(a)), Maintenance Program (License Section 6.2.1(b)), methods of criticality control (License Section 6.2.2), and other NCS
- program elements of License Section 6.0 are not covered under RA 311, NCS Program Review.
- b. There is no procedure covering the development and implementation of geometry and volume controls and other related provisions covered by License Section 6.2.4(a).

1.0 Introduction
- a. Pellet Line 1 Granulator Screen Incident At 2340 hours0.0271 days <br />0.65 hours <br />0.00387 weeks <br />8.9037e-4 months <br /> on June 23,1997, the licensee reported under NRC Bulletin 91-01 that one of two nuclear safety controls associated with the Line 1 granulator hopper had been lost. The event involved the discovery of about 165 kilograms (kgs) of dry UO, powder in the granulator hopper due to a mechanical failure. A nuclear criticality safety (NCS) review was not conducted until after the powder had been removed and the system restarted.
When the review was subsequently conducted, it was determined that the two controls applied to the hopper were moderation and volume. However, the Regulatory Engineer (Nuclear Criticality Safety) could not confirm that the hopper was a favorable volume j system (i.e., would not support a criticality for the given system enrichment) because the original backup data / documentation could not be located. A reanalysis determined that the "as-built" volume of 43 liters exceeded the calculated favorable volume limit of 38 liters (based on ARH-600,111 B.3-5) and the operating lines were shutdown.
Each hopper was subsequently modified by the insertion of a " volume limiter" and Lines 1-3 were restarted on June 24,1997. The following day, a Root Cause Analysis
' (RCA) team was established by the licensee to review the event. The NRC monitored .
the licensee's progress in addressing this issue through conference calls held every other week. As of the week of August 11,1997, the licensee had not yet addressed the RCA team recommendations. Consequently, a NRC inspection team was dispatched to the site coring the week of August 25-29,1997, to determine the adequacy of the licensee's corrective actions and to conduct a separate root cause analysis evaluation.
- b. Pellet Line Ventilation Moisture Drocout Tank Volume Control On August 25,1997, a solenoid operated valve (SOV) to the Line 1 ventilation system dropout tank overheated and melted plastic and rubber components associated with the drain line. During the inv estigation of this event, the licensee determined that the SOVs on each of the 5 lines had appvently experienced an electrical malfunction. The licensee, already aware of the NRC inspection team's concems involving
- geometry /vo'ume control, determined tnat the "as-built" 20 gallon tank volume did not match the 5 gallon volume assumed in the CSE. Subsequent inspection of each tank found an unexpected accumulation of UO2 powder that ranged from 1-4 kgs, it was also determined that the tank level probes, which were believed to provide an automatic engineered control, had never been functionally tested.
By the end of August 26,1997, the powdcr had been removed, the level probes had bean functionally tested, and the systems were restarted. However, the licensee did not verbally inform the NRC inspection team of this incident until 12:30 p.m. on August 28,1997. No notification was made to the NRC Operations Center.

3.0 Granulator Hoooer Incident Investiaation and Root Cause Analvsis
- a. Scope l The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for the Granulator Hopper event of June 23,1997, to assure that a systematic, thorough and adequate investigation was conducted; a written report was issued to plant management in a timely manner; the report identified recommendations, that when implemented, would reduce the likelihood of recurrence; and the facility management system was functioning to ensure that the recommendations are, have been, or are being brought to closure in a timely manner,
- b. Observations and Findinos
- 1. The inspectors requested a copy of the licensee's RCA and were provided with a flow chart that identified three causal factors and four items of note. Each causal factor and item of note was in table form with columns for " Paths Through Root Cause Tree" and
" Recommendations." The inspectors noted that the RCA causal factors included:
(1) loss of backup documentation supporting the favorable volume assessment for the hopper, (2) an oversight in the June 1996 analysis that asrumed that the bottom portion was safe based on a former unreferenced analysis, and (3) the independent review process did not identify the error. E:ach of these causal factors had been sent to Regulatory Affairs for evaluation. None had been addressed as of the date of the inspection. The four items of note had also been forwarded to a Product Process Improvement Team, but no action had been taken as of August 29,1997, although the licensee continued to operate the granulator hopper up unti! the time of the NRC inspection.
1 1
_ J
,t
, 10 in summary, the RCA recommendations had not been approved by management, i prioritized, or implemented. During discussions with senior plant management,- the inspectors were informed that while management was cognizant of the RCA recommendations, other priorities had diverted their attention and resources.
License Section 3,7, incident investigations, requires, in part, that procedures provide for: ' systematic investigation of abnormal events, making decisions on corrective measures to prevent recurrence of such events; and follow up on the_ implementation of the preventive measures. The failure to develop and implement corrective measures to prevent recurrence prior to restart, is an Apparent Violation (701151/97-205-01).
- 2. Review of the RCA identified several technical inadequacies with the licensee's avaluation, Specifically, the RCA did not address the following:
.- Various management control processes failed to assure that the "as-built"
[ volume / geometry of criticality controls matched the design documents as L required by license Section 6.2.1.
. The CSE process did not assure that the criticality safety controlled parameter requirements specified in license Section 6.2.4 were met.
. The system restart authorization was given without the concurrence of -
Regulatory Engineering after the removal of 165 kgs of nowder, when plant " rule-of thumb" guidance requires such notification after any discovery of 40 kgs of powder accumulation. In addition, the CSE fault tree analysis for the pellet roll compactor hopper contingency protections identified 100 kgs UO, as the mass contingency for the system.
The CSE reanalysis did not meet the license requirements prior to restart of the system.-
The discovery that the Line 4 deflector panel was incorrectly installed and the Line 5 deflector was m!ssing. -
. Section 3.7 further states that CFFF will have in place a structured methodology for
-determining and characterizing the root cause(s) of the failure (s) that led to safety-significant events. The failure to adequately determine and characterize the root cause(s) of the granulator hopper event of June 22,1997, is another example of Apparent Violation (70-1151/97-205-01).
- 3. Discussions with licensee personnel who served on the RCA indicated that they did not have a formal charter to direct their activities. While the incident investigation process did consider whether the other granulator hoppers were susceptible to the same problem, as they were, the RCA was of limited scope and did not address the items
=
j-
, 11 described in section 2, above. Tne inspector reviewed RA 111, Revisios,2, Safety
~ Significant incident investigations, and noted that it did not contain adequate guidance or policy statements regarding:
The timely development and managemert disposition of recommendations.
Expanding the scope of the RCA based on developed information to assure that a4 of the root causes of the failure (s) were addressed, including the failure to comply with license conditions.
Event recovery and restart authority. In particular, no detailed guidance addres.ed the resolution of unanalyzed conditions and assuring license compliance prior to reinitiation of operations.
The adequacy of procedures defining the policies of the Regulatory Component, including criticality safety, and identifying the requirements for implementation of applicable NRC regulations and license conditions,is further discussed in Detail 9 of this report.
- c. Conclusion
._ The licensee did not conduct an adequate root cause analysis and identify and I-implement appropriate corrective actions for the June 22,1997, event in a timely manner, Management stated that the corrective actions had not been completed in a more timely manner due to recent downsizing activities at the plant and the NRC enforcement action for the mis-shipment of two fuel rods to the Czech Republic.
4.0 Granulator Hoooer Criticality Sattety_Exaluation (CSE)
- a. Scope The inspectors reviewed the CSti to verify (1) that the licensee had ident;fied the specific controls necessary for the safe operation of the process and the ections required to assure that those controls would be available and reliabla if called on to
_ function, and (2) that the assumptions related to process / equipment / material theory, function, and operation, including credible process upsets, were justified, documented and independently reviewec.
- b. Observations and Findinos 1 The inspectors reviewed the original and reanalyzed Granulator Hopper CSEs and conducted discussions with the analysts. The origina: CSE (1996) identified two controls to protect against an inadvertent criticality: moderation and volume.
Moderation control was based on the physical enclosure of the system and the powder dryness resulting from the previous processing. The analyst informed the inspectors that volume control was based on a prior Nuclear Safety Analysis (NSA, a forerunner to
-- - u
F_
4 z- ,
, the current NCS analysis and evaluation process). Therc was no specific crossi reference to the NSA so that an adequate independent review could be performed.
Furthermore, the independent review failed to identify that the CSE technical content did
- not meet all of the license requirements.
The inspectors were informed that the original NSA had been lost and its adequacy could not be determined. Control of nuclear criticality safety analysis records is l - discussed further in Detail 7 of this report. Notwithstanding the content and accuracy of the lost NSA, the as built hopper volume of 43 liters did not meet the criteria for
- favorable volume, as demonstrated by licensee calculations and independent inspector analysis, e License Section 6.2.1, General Control Program Practices, requires that a defense of
-one or more system parameters will be employed and documented within the Criticality Safety Evaluation (CSE), which identify the specific controls necessary for the safe operation of a process.- The failure to perform an adequate evaluation of the granulator hopper in 1996 and resultant failure to establish appropriate controls necessary for safe operation, even though the system print reflected the actua! unfavorable volume dimensions, is an Apparent Violation (70-1151/97 205-02).
- 2. The inspectors noted that the correct hopper dimensions were shown on the system's print. Had the print been adequate;y reviewed during the CSE development and review process, the "as-built
- volume of 43 liters could have been calculated In addition to the licensee's incorrect conclusion that the hopper was of favorable volume, there was no documented field verification that the as-built hopper matched the design documents.
Furthermore, there was no management mechanism in place which would have required a verification that previously installed volume or geometry controls matched the values i assumed in the CSE and other current design documents, '
License Section 6.2.1, General Control Program Practices, requires that prior to use of a nuclear criticality safety control, a functional verification process will be performed to assure that the controls selected and installed match the requirements identified in the design criteria. The failure to assure that the hopper volume control identified in the CSE matched the as built configuration in the fie'd is an Apparent Violation (70-1151/97 205-03).
- 3. As a result of the above findings, the inspectors requested the licensee to provide their position regarding the saSty-bases for the continued safe operation of the facility. The licensee indicated that they had started a general CSE upgrs,de program in support of their License Renewal effort in accordance with the schedule provided in license
- condition S-2. This condition prioritized the various plant systems in accordance with safety risk. The licensee stated that the new CSEs were being conducted to a more rigorous methodology than past evaluations, which provided reasonable assurance that the assumptions had been verified. The only exception would be for any CSE which referenced a prior NSA as part of its basis, in addition, there were several systems which are considered to be of low nsk for which the NRC had approved a later
- reanalysis schedule.
s
.- t
, I3 The inspectors noted that the ,ater scheduling of " low-risk
- systems was based on the best knowledge that was available to the NRC at the time of license renewal. Since
- then, new information has surfaced regarding the adequacy of various geometry / volume
- passive criticality safety controls. The inspectors noted that an expeditious review of - ,
CSEs which referenced older Nuclear Safety Analyses (NSAs) and for those systems '
which had not yet been upgraded to the new CSE process, appeared warranted to assure that the geometry / volume control *as-built
- matched design documents. The
~ licensee acknowledged the inspectors comments and stated that this concern would be I
promptly reviewed. This will be tracked as an inspector Followup item (70-1151/97-205-08).
- 4. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's reanalysis which calculated the favorable volume as 39 liters, No problems were identified with this calculatioai ..nich the licensee used as the design basis for the five hopper volume limiters used to restore volume control, However, the rest of the reanalysis was considered inadequate in that:
It did not discuss all reasonab e or expected proceas upsets.
It did not cover the process / operational flow in sufficient detail so that an independent reviewer could determine the adequacy of the analysis.
It had not been adequately reviewed by a qualified peer. )
~
In essence, the reanalysis was limited to calculational notes documenting the K-eff of a model representing the "as-found' condition of the system.
License Section 6.2.4, Criticality Controlled Safety Parameters, requires that the CSE process willidentify the significant parameters affected within a particular system and all assumptions relating to process / equipment / material theory, function, and operation, including credible upset conditions, will be justified, documented and independently
- reviewed. - The failure to assure that all assumptions relating to process / equipment / material theory, function, and operation, including credible upset conditions for the granulator hopper were justified, documented, and adaquately reviewed prior to restarting the system following the June 23,1997, event, is an Apparent Violation (76-1151/97-205-04).
- c. C.onclusions The original granulator hopper CSE was inadequate in that it did not establish
' appropriate volume control safety limits, No program was in place to assure that passive geometry / volume criticality safety control"as-built" configurations matched the design criteria. Further, the reanalysis of the granulator hopper system following -
restarted after the June 23,1997, event did not meet license requirements for content and review.

- a. Scope
- After being informed by the licensee at 12:30 p.m. on August 28,1997, that the pellet area ventilation system's five moisture dropout tanks were greater than a favorable volume, the inspectors reviewed the CSE and conducted discussions with licensee .
personnel to determine the safety significance and cause of the event and assess the adequacy of the licensee's response actions (see Detail 1.b for background
!nformation).
- b. Observations and Findinas
- 1. The licensee restarted the pellet area systems without performing a root cause analysis.-
This is of concern because this was the second recent instance where an event occurred that involved the unexpected identification of an unfavorable geometrvivolume component where special nuclear material had accumulated.
Section 3.7, Incident investigations, requires, in part, that procedures provide wr:
systematic investigation of abnormal events, making decisions on corrWtive measures to prevent recurrence of such events; and followt.p on the implementation of the preventive measures. RA-111, Safety Significant Incident Investigations, establishes the procedure for investigating safety significant incidents, including the determination of the root cause(s) and the identification of appropriate corrective actions. Section 2.0, Policy and Scope, further defines a safety significant incident criteria as including the loss of multiole criticality controls (as identified in the current process or equipment CSE). The failure to initiate an incident investigation for a safety significant incident involving the failure to establish criticality controls for the moisture dropout tank (eince the current system CSE only assumed favorable geometry) and develop and im:;lement corrective measures to prevent recurrence, is another example of Apparent Violation (70-1151/97-205 01).- 4
- 2. The inspectors reviewed the CSE associated with the 1993 installation of the moisture dropout tank and found it to be inadequate in that:
- It assumed that each pellet line would have a dropout tank of less than 5 gallons.
However, the attached process and instrument diagram sketches showed the correct dimensione for the as-built 20 gallon tanks; Had these values been adequately considered during the CSE development or peer review, appropriate safety limits could have been developed.
The CSE did not consider the possibility that special nuclear material cou!d accumulate in the dropout tanks. From 1-4 kgs of UO2 powder were found in each.
I
. 15 License Section 6.4.1 Criticality Safety Evaluation (CSE), requires the identification and documentation of the Dasis of nuclear criticality safety for a particular system, including a safety analysis which includes a comprehansive review of each component within the defined system. The Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA) will be included within the CSE and will define the safety limits for each component within the system. The failure to perform an adequate review of the pellet area ventilation system moisture dropout tanks in 1993 and resultant failure to establish appropriate safety limits, even though the system print reflected the actual unfavorable volume dimensions, is another example of Apparent Violation (70-1151/97-205-02).
- 3. The licensee failed to conouct a functional verification to assure that the as-built configuration matched the design documents (CSE assumptions). The failure to assure that the moisture dropout tank volume controlidentified in the CSE matched the as-built configuration in the field is another example of Apparent Violation (70-1151/97 205-03).
- 4. The pellet area ventilation system reanalysis conducted on August 26,1997, was reviewed by the inspectors and was found to be inadequate in that:
. It did not consider or discuss all process upsets,
. It did not cover the process / operational flow in sufficient detail so that an l !ndependent reviewer could determine the adequacy of the analysis.
. It had not been independently reviewed.
j As with the granulator hopper reanalysis discussed previously, the dropout tank j reanalysis was limited to calculational notes documenting the K-eff of a model representing the "as-found* condition of the system.
The failure to assure that all assumptions relating to process / equipment / material theory, function, and operation, including credible upset conditions for the pellet area ventilation system dropout tanks were justified, documented and independently reviewed prior to restarting the system following the August 25,1997, event is another example of Apparent Violation (70-1151/97-205-04).
- c. Conclusions The licensee failed to implement plant incident investigation procedures to establish the root cause of the unanalyzed pellet area ventilation system moisture dropout tank event prior to restart. An inadequate safety review in 1993 resulted in the failure to establish appropriate safety limits. No check was performed to confirm that the "as-built
- configuration of the tanks matched the design docunmts. The technical content of the reanalysis performed prior to the restart of the system on August 26,1997, did not meet the license conditions.

'6.0L . Review of Cther CSEs
- a. Scope The inspectors reviewed other selected CSEs to confirm that they were technically adequate and in conformance to license requirements for content and approval,
- b. Observati20s_and FindiDQt
. By letter dated June 28,1996, the licensee respondad to a license condition requiring summary CSE and fault tree information for the pelleting process. The summary information for the Compac. tion and Granulation proce ss stated that 'the Nuclear I Criticality Safety Analyses relied on passive engineered and administrative controls, and process limitations applied to geometry to ensure suberiticality and a large margin of safety. These controls and limitations make a criticality situation not credible.
Therefore, no fault tree is required." The Pellet Press and Sintering Furnace process descriptions were similar and also provided no fault tree analyses.
RA 310, Regulatory Affairs Technical Reviews, establishes the minimum requirements -
for performing technical reviews of NCS documentation. Section 7.2.1 provides
, guidance for the independent technical reviews of CSEs and CSAs, including the L
evaluations of normal operations plus expected upsets, credible process upsets, discussions of parametric studies, margins of suberiticality and safety, and an evaluation of agreement with the license with respect to the criticality safety basis and Lounding
,' assumptions.
I The inspectors reviewed the CSEs for the above processes and found that RA-310 had not been properly implemented, as each CSE was badequate because they did not q consider all appropriate process upsets, the process / operational flow was not covered in sufficient detail so that an independent reviewed could determine the adequacy of the ,
analysis, and th6 independent reviews conducted were inadequate. These are other -l examples of Apparent Violation (70-1151197 205-04).
- c. Conclusions 4
- The CSEs for the Granulation and Compaction, Pellet Press and Sintering Furnace processes provided an insufficient documented safety basis in that each one did not address all of the technical requirements specified in the license. RA-310 was not effectively implemented, and the peer review process failed to assure that three CSEs reviewed met the curre1t license requirements for content.

' . 17 7.0 Records --
- a. Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for the control and maintenance of safety-bases documents to assure that identifiable and retrievable records are available to demonstrate the safety margin of the various processes involving the storage, handling and processing of special nuclear material.
. b. Observations and Findinas During the course of the inspection, the licensee informed the inspectors that the original Nuclear Safety Analysis (NSA) that was used for the 1996 Granulator Hopper Criticality Safety Evaluation (CSE), but not specifically referenced in it, had been lor,t.
This document was part of the safety-basis documentation for that system. Subsequent discussions were conducted with the licensee concerning the identification and control of such records. -The inspectors were provided with a copy of CA-004, Columbia Plant Records Management Policy, and were informed that this was the procedure used to meet the requirements of license Section 3.8.1.
Review of CA-004 revealed that the system was directed toward the Quality Assurance records (finished product quality). The procedure required that the various originating departments identify the categories of records to be retained and to utilize a Westinghouse Records Flow Schedule. However, the main thrust of the procedure was the preparation and transmittal of prescribed records to long term storage. Nuclear Criticality Evaluations, Analyses, and Methodology Validations were not listed as an example of a quality record. The inspectors further reviewed the actual NCS record storage and control practices and were informed by the licensee that those records were last inventoried in 1995. Based on these observations, the inspectors determined that
. no procedures were in pitce to control storage and access to NCS records. There was no other requirement for the periodic checking of NCS documents, and there was no method to distinguish between current and obsolete documents.
License Section 3.8.1, Records, requires, in part, that written procedures will specify the management program for Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluations, Analyses, and Methodology Validations, and that records of nuclear criticality safety analyses will be maintained for the lifetime of the facility. The failure to develop an adequate written .
procedure to specify the managem6nt program for NCS evaluations and the loss of the original granulator hopper NSA are examples of an Apparent Violation (70-1151/97-205-05).
- c. Conclusions The licensee had not established an adequate rranagement program to maintain the safety-bases NCS documents and had lost an NSA.

- 18 8.0 Event Reoorting
- a. Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensee's process for assuring that safety-significant items s are promptly reviewed, evaluated and reported to the NRC in accordance with -
regulations and license conditions.
- b. Observations and Findings
- 1. On August 25,1997, the licensee discovered that the Pellet Area Ventilation System Moisture Dropout Tank volume was not favorable volume, as assumed. Each of the five pellet lines were brought offline, inspected, cleanod of accumulated UO, rowder, - :
functionally tested and restarted by the end of August 26,1997. The licensee verbally informed the NRC inspection team of the event at 12:30 p.m. on August 28,1997.
During that meeting, the inspectors asked the licensee representatives why they had not notified the team prior to the restart of the five lines, especially in light of 1:1e teams review of a previous loss of volume control event. The licensee indicated that the NCS group recommended NRC notification, but that licensee management had made the decision not to inform the team until after a review could be completed and all the information gathered. However, the team noted that the completion of that review did not holdup produ.uon restart, and the lack of that notification prevented the NRC from conducting a real-time inspection of how the lic nsee handled unanalyzed conditions.
Furthermore, RA-107, Internal Reporting, and NRC Notification of Unusual Occurrences, Section 7.8, Courtesy Calls, states "It is important that NRC be notified of events related to criticality safety. If there is any doubt as to whether an event should be eported, the NRC should be contacted." The licensee did not implement this noSfication in a timely manner.
The team also asked whether the licensee planned to make a Bulletin 91-01 report, and were informed that they had not reached a final decision. The licensee was reqvasted to complete their review and inform the team of the reportability determination and the basis for that determination. During a second meeting on August 29,1997, the licensee stated that they had completed their review and that the event was not reportable.
The reason given for the unreportable determination was that the event involved en unanalyzed condition for which there was defacto double contingency protection.
However, the inspectors noted that the original analysis was deficient and a reanalysis was necessary before controlled criticality parameters could be estab'ished and maintained. Further, NRC Rulletin 91-01, Supplement 1, issued July 27,1993, Attachment 1, addresses questions and answers conceming reportability as follows:
1
. ___ __J
3'-, -
J .
19 Q3. In cases where a deficiency in the criticality safety analysis is found, and in the same analysis a mitigating condition not previously identified is found, is the
- deficient criticality safety analysis reportable?
A3. Yes. The licensee should report it. In addition, the licensee should prepare a corrected analysis.
License Section 3.7.3, Notification of Regulatory Agencies, Section (b.3) requires a four-hour notification of any determination that a criticality safety analysis or evaluation was deficient and that double contingency protection, in fact, does not exist.
Section 6.2.1, General Control Program Practices, states that 'The Double Contingency Principle (ANSDANS 8.1 1993 (R 1988)) will be the basis for design and operation of processes..lFor each significant portion of the process, a defense of one or more system parameters will be employed and documented within the Criticality Safety Evaluation."
i Section 6.2.3, Table of Plant Systems & Parametric Controls, identifies mass and geometry as the criticality safety basis for the ventilation system;
!=
Section 6.2.4, Criticality Safety Controlled Parameters, identifies the specific cor. trol f parameters that will be considered during the review process. For mass, the evaluation will consider normal operations and expected process upsets for determination of the actual mass limit for the system sad for the definition of subsequent controls. For moderation, the minimum protection will be two independent barriers, including ,!
establishment of a method to detect a failure of the outermost barrier and a program to maintain the quality of the barrier and routine barrier inspections.
The Peilet Area Ventilation System moisture dropout tanks, a significant portion of the process in that the licensee had not previously demonstrated that a criticality was an incredible cvent, was not analyzed and system mass and moderation controls were not established in accordance with Section 6.0 requirements. Therefore, the failure to notify the NRC within four hours of the discovery that the moisture dropout tank was unanalyzed, and hence, no double contingency protection established prior to operation of that component, is an Apparent Violation (701151/97-205-06).
- 2. - As a result of the inspectors review of the licensee's reporting process, a second example of a potential violation involving NRC notification was identified regarding the June 22,1997, Granulator Hopper event. The inspectors noted that powder
- accumulation was first noted at about 2345 hours0.0271 days <br />0.651 hours <br />0.00388 weeks <br />8.922725e-4 months <br /> on June 22,1997, and that removal activities were undertaken from 0100 - 0300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br /> on June 23,1997,. The Team Manager authorized restart at 0430 hours0.00498 days <br />0.119 hours <br />7.109788e-4 weeks <br />1.63615e-4 months <br />, even though 165 kgs of powder had accumulated, which was in excess of the 100 kg mass contingency limit identified in the licensee's fault tree analysis for that system. At 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br />, a Regulatory engineer determined that an oversight occurred in the original analysis and a re-evaluation confirmed the unfavorable volume at 2016 hours0.0233 days <br />0.56 hours <br />0.00333 weeks <br />7.67088e-4 months <br />. It was at this point that the licensee started the four-hour reportability time clock.
U
- f. .
, 20 NRC was subsequently notified of this event at 2340 hours0.0271 days <br />0.65 hours <br />0.00387 weeks <br />8.9037e-4 months <br />. The licensee's operations group had actual information that t;ie UO, mass had unexpectedly accumulated in excess of the station's 40 kgs NCS notification limit pnor to restart.ng the system, and the Regulatory engineer should have been informed of the actual mass found when notified at 0530 hours0.00613 days <br />0.147 hours <br />8.763227e-4 weeks <br />2.01665e-4 months <br />. Therefore, the actual four hour time clock should have started upon the notification of the Regulatory engineer at 0700 hours0.0081 days <br />0.194 hours <br />0.00116 weeks <br />2.6635e-4 months <br /> as this was when the knowledgeable 1,1dividual responsible for evaluating nuclear criticality safety arrived on site to follow up on the Team Managers call.
l License Section 3.7.3 (b 2) requires a four hour report of any nuclear criticality safety incident for which less than double contingency protection remains (multi parameter control or single parameter control) and greater than a safe mass is involved and double contingency protection is not restored within four hours. The failure to notify the NRC of this event within four hours is another example of Apparont Violation (701151/97 205-06),
- c. Conclutinna The licensee's system for the timely evaluation and reporting of criticality safety events appeared weak, as evidenced by the failure to conduct a prompt review and notification for the pellet area ventilation system moisture dropout tank event of August 25,1997, and the Granulator Hopper event of June 22,1997.
9.0 P.togram Administration Facility Procedu.as
- a. Econe The inspectors reviewed the Regulatory Affairs guidance procedures, incluaing those for nuclear criticality safety (NCS), to assure that effective management controls were established for implementation of applicable NRC regulations and license condniers.
- b. Obsemations and Findinos The inspectors conducted discussion with the licecrte's technical staff concerning what procedures or policies were available to provide apprcpriate guidance for implementing the various criticality safety requirements defined in SecMon 6 of the license. The inspectors were informed that there was no NCS administrative manual and that they were aware of only three different
- policy
- papers. The in pectors conducted further discussions with the Manager of Regulatory Affairs, to whom the NCS group directly-reports, l'he Manager stated that the facility complied with the requirements of license Section 6.1.1(b), Regulatory Affairs Guidance Procedures, through various Regulatory
t, o 21 Affairs (RA) procedures. The inspectors requested a copy of all RA procedures that i were used to meet the requirements of Section 6.1.1(b), and were provided with the following:
RA 102, Regulatory Compliance Inspections (Rev 9).
RA 104, Regulatory Review of Configuration Change Request (Rev 9).
RA 106, Internal Program Audits (Rev 5),
RA-107, internal Reporting and NRC Notification of Unusual Occurrences (Rev 0).
RA 108, Safety Significant Interlocks (Rev 6).
RA 110, Identification and Reporting of Substantia! Safety Hazards (Part 21) (Rev 3).
RA 111 Safety Significant incident Investigations (Rev 2).
RA 112, Process Safety Management Compliance Audits (Rev 2).
RA 113, Regulatory Commitment Tracking (Rev 0)
RA 301, Floor Storage of Specla! Nuclear Material (Rev 12).
RA 302, Criticality Signs (Rev 8).
RA 303, Control of Moderating Materials for NCS (Rev 8)
RA 304, Criticality Accident Alarm System (Rev 5).
RA 305, Evaluations Using the NITAWL XSDRN-KENO Codes (Rev 3).
RA 306, Movable Non-Favorable Geometry (NFG) Containers in the Chemical Area (Rev 4).
RA-310, Regulatory Affairs Technical Reviews (Rev 2).
RA 311, NCS Program Review (Rev 0).
Based on a limited review of the above documents, the inspectors identified the following problems and concerns:
- 1. The stated purpose of RA 311, NCS Program Review, is to provide criteria for perferming and documenting program reviews to assess the effectivenus of all components of NCS programs, The aspects of the NCS program that are required to be reviewed are analysis and evaluation; criticality alarm system; implementation of requirements for movable NFG containers, neutron absorbing materials, mass control, moderation control; monthly RA compliance inspections; and date packs (event investigations).
The inspectors determined that in total, the RA procedures did not provide adequate guidance to assure that all aspects of the NCS program defined in Section 6 were adequately implemented. The guidance was inadequate in that it was limited to several broad areas and did not cover such NCS license topics as the Verification Program, the Maintenance Program, methods of criticality safety control, use and implementation of all the controlled parameters defined in the license, and control of criticality safety documentation (i.e., maintenance of the safety basis documentation).
- 2. RA 107, internal Reporting, and NRC Notification of Unusual Occurrences, was last updated in 1994, prior to the 1995 license renewal and several amendments, which
. . N o l 22 i
included chatiges to the reporting requkements. Consequently, the section on general !
guidance in preparing a notification no longer matched the current reporting j requirements contained in license Section 3.7.3. '
3, RA 108, Safety Significant Interlocks, and no other procedure provided to the !'
,l Inspectors, provided guidance on the development and implementation of passive
- engineered controls, such as geometry and volume, to assure that they are analyzed
- and evaluated for fabrication tolerances and dimensional changes that may occur )
through corrosion, wear, or mechanical distortion. In addition, it did not include ,
provisions for the periodic inspection if credible conditions exist for changes in ,
- dimensions of the equipment that may result in the inability to meet NCS limits as ,
specified in license Section 6.2.4(a).
1
- 4. RA-111, Safety Significant Investigations, did not provide guidance on: (1) when ;
Regulatory Affairs approvalis required prior to the restart of a shutdown system,
- (2) ensuring compliance with license conditions prior to restart (License ,
Section 2.3.1(c)), or (3) how an "unreviewed safety question' is to be reviewed and l resolved (i.e., unanalyzed conditions and discovered deviations from license Section 6.2.1). }
- 5. RA 305, Evaluations Using the NITAWL XSDRN KENO Codes, and no other procedure reviewed by the inspectors, provided guidance for computer software and hardware configuration control as specified in license Section 6.4.3(d).
- 6. RA 303, Control of Moderating Materials for NCS, nor any other procedure provided to the inspectors, provided guidance for establishing a program to maintain the
! quality of the outermost moderator barrier and to conduct routine inspections as ,
specified in license Section 6.2.4(c.2).
- 7. RA 304, Criticklity Accident Alarm System, did not provide any guidance concerning the suspension of special nuclear material movement within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following the
- placement of the alarm system out of service as specified in license Section 6.3.1.
- 8. RA-310, Regulatory Affairs Technical Reviews, did not provide any guidance for .
verifying that the as built passive cenbois, such as geometry and volume, matched l the design critoria as specified in license Section 6.2.1, l
Section 6.1.1(b), Regulatory Affako Guidance Procedures, requires, in part, that Regulatory Significant procedures define the policies of the Regulatory Component, including nuclear criticality safcty, and ident,ify the requirements for implementation of
- i. applicable NRC regulations and llcense conditions. The failure to develop NCS policies
. or procedures to identify the requirements for implementation of alllicense conditions is j
Apparent Violation (701151/97 20647).

- c. Conclusions The licensee has not established a management control program for assuring that adequate procedures or policies are provided that identify and cover the license requirements related to nuclear criticality safety.
- 10. Exit Meetino and Conference Ojitll The inspectors presented the inspection scope and findings to members of licensee management during and at the conclusion of this inspection on August 29,1997. Seven potential violations were identified. The inspectors noted that further NRC management review woulo be required before a determination can be made regarding characterization of any violation.
l During the exit meeting, the licensee was asked whether they were in compliance with the license conditions regarding the updated Criticality Safety Evaluations for the Granulator Hopper and Pellet Area Ventilation systems. A conference call was held with Mr. W. Brach and others of the NRC Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards Division (HQ),
Mr. D. Collins and others of NRC Region 11 Office, and Mr. J. Bush, Acting Westinghouse Plant Manager ard others of the plant staff. At the conclusion of that conference call, Mr. Bush stated that the pellet area lines would be immediately shutdown and not restarted until the CSEs were brought into compliance with the license requirements.
A second exit meeting was conducted with the Manager of Regulatory Affairs by conference call on September 22,1997. The seven apparent violations identified in the Executive Summary were discussed, along with the need and process for a predecisional enforcement conference.
