Malcolm R. Knapp, Acting Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Researc FROM:
Carl J. Paperiello, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
SUBJECT:
UPDATE OF GENERIC ISSUE MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM We have reviewed the draft Generic issue Management Control System (GIMCS) report dated October 1997. The two Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) issues listed as pending prioritization in Table 7 (NMSS-0004 and NMSS-0005) should be moved to Table 6 and listed as resolved. Detailed information on the status of these issues was provided to the Generic Safety issues Branch on December 15,1997.
An additional generic issue conceming low-level waste criticality concerns was submitted for tracking on August 5,1997, however, it is not listed in the GIMCS report. Detailed information for this issue is attached.
In addition, the task manager for issue number RGA-003, Dry Cask Storage of Spent Fuel, should be changed to Lawrence Kokajko. The current status is provided in the Dry Cask Storage Action Plan available on the internal Internet server (http://nrr10.nrc. gov / documents / taps / des.htm).
With regard to a single point of contact for NMSS with the authority to assure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to Office of Research, you should direct requests for updated information to Donald A. Cool, Director, Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety (IMNS). IMNS has the lead for coordinating the NMSS Generic issues Program.

Contract Title -
Criticality Concerns With Unusual Moderators.
..w Cpntrador/ FIN No.
.. ~ - ~.--~~ ~ ~
' Work Scone'-
The contractor will develop the necessary information for documenting the technical and safety bases for criticality safety regulations in relation -
to unanticipated fissile materials and unusual moderators entering in to all
)
areas of the fuel cycle and waste programs. Both technical and practical issues should be investigated and discussed. For LLW shallow land disposal, a generic methodology for evaluating the risk of a post-disposal criticality should be developed in order to reduce any residual uncertainty concerning criticality safety. If modifications to the existing regulations me recommended as a result of the study, the technical basis should be discussed. These technical bases should be quantitative and include identification of assumptions and appropriate supporting calculations. As an additional subsequent effort, the contractor should also be prepared to provide technical assistance to aid the NRC technical monitor on questions arising from public comments on any proposed regulatory change and, as needed, provide information that may be required to finalize rulemaking.
