Fermi-2 A meeting was held with the licensee on June 29, 1987, at the Region III offices to discuss the licensee's request to op(erate the Fermi-2 plant atplant operatio power levels up to 75% of rated thermal power l
limited to 50% power).
It was decided that continued plant operation up to 50% power, without significant events for an additional period of time, was needed before the NRC would consider granting the licensee's request to l
operate above 50% power. This decision was based on continuing problems with plant equipment, the frequency of ESF actuations which have unnecessarily challenged safety) systems (the most recent occurring on June 25th), and the recent (June 26th to a level which resulted in an operating mode change without performing required equipment availability checks and surveillance.
Apparently, the operating shift was not aware that an operating mode change had occurred.
The licensee will be formally informed of this decision by Region III.
Michigan Selected as Host State for LLW Facility The Midwest Compact Commission voted on June 30, 1987, to name Michigan as the Host State for that Compact's first low-level waste facility. Ohio and Minnesota were the second and third choices. Michigan expressed concern about several issues including shared liability and what it considers to be needed j
revisions to the LLRWPAA. Michigan will remain in the Compact while these concerns are being addressed, but is retaining the option to leave the Compact i
if it considers the resolution to be unsatisfactory.
The Compact has agreed to sponsor a national meeting in the next three to six months to address the issues.
Licensability of Canadian "SLOWp0KE" Research Reactor On Monday, June 29, Arkansas Tech University and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited representatives met with NRR, OGC, and GPA/IP to present their plans and obtain guidance on considerations related to licensing the Canadian " SLOWPOKE" research reactor in the U.S.
Several potential licensing issues were discussed, and it was decided that Arkansas Tech University will submit a letter to NRC to obtain preliminary views on these issues before proceeding with a license application. The "SLOWP0KE" is a 20 KWe research reactor that operates with one 8-inch I
control rod and uses a single load of 19.9 percent enriched U-235 with a 20-year fuel life. The "SLOWP0KE" is designed to operate fully automatically with the only control being its on/off switch.

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION ITEMS OF INTEREST Week Ending July 3, 1987 Trojan Nuclear Plant During the course of conducting an expanded piping wall thickness inspection program during the 1987 outage Trojan observed pipe wall thinning in certain safety related and non-safety related portions of
. the main feedwater system.
The affected safety related portion consists of piping between the steam generator and the check valve outside containment, on all feedwater lines. Eight elbows and two straight runs of pipe were found to have thinned to below minimum wall thickness requirements, and have been replaced. The remaining elbows have been determined to be acceptable, but will be replaced during subsequent outages. The i
mechanism for the thinning is being evaluated by the licensee.
Trojan has had-in-place, a corrosion / erosion inspection program which identified portions of fluid systems which may be susceptible to the phenomemon. The program was based on the original EPRI and industry guidelines. The conditions to which the safety related portions of the system were found to have thinned, had not been anticipated by those original guidelines.
)
The licensee is currently developing corrective actions, and a long-term action plan.
Fermi-2 A meeting was held with the licensee on June 29, 1987, at the Region III J
offices to discuss the licensee's request to operate the Fermi-2 plant at power levels up to 75% of rated thermal power (plant operation is currently limited to 50% power).
It was decided that continued plant operation up to 50% power, without significant events for an additional period of time, was needed before the NRC would consider granting the licensee's request to operate above 50% power. This decision was based on continuing problems with plant equipment, the frequency of ESF actuations which have unnecessarily challenfJune26th)ystems(themostrecentoccurringonJune25th),andthe ed safety s recent operator error which allowed reactor temperature to rise to a level which resulted in an operating mode change without performing required equipment availability checks and surveillance. Apparently, the operating shift was not aware that an operating mode change had occurred.
The licensee will be formally informed of this decision by Region III.

The diesel was undergoing a series of test runs following repairs after the December 23, 1986, failure of the #9 connecting rod.
The diesel was on the I
12th of 35 one hour runs at full load in the test program. The diesel tripped on high crankcase pressure and several pressure relief valves on the diesel lifted to relieve oil vapor pressure. There was no report of fire during the event.
The cause of the malfunction is not known and is under investigation by the licensee.
The diesel has a rating of 5500 KW and was supplied by Cooper Energy Services, Inc.

2 Stabilization of the Rifle Tailings Based on their review, LLWM staff suggested by telephone, on June 29, 1987, that DOE assess alternative sites for stabilization of uranium mill tailings and other contaminated materials at Rifle, Colorado. DOE is cleaning up two abandoned uranium mills at Rifle under the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial' Action Project. DOE's preferred option for stabilization is to dispose of the tailings at a remote site named Estes Gulch. LLWM staff identified significant concerns regarding DOE's ability to protect against surface water erosion of the tailings during the long time periods required by the EPA standards (40CFRPart192).
In addition, LLWM staff identified deficiencies in DOE's characterization of the geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and engineering properties of the Rifle and Estes Gulch sites. These concerns will be transmitted to DOE in the form of staff comments on a draft Remedial Action Plan and Environmental Impact Statement.
Update of NRC Staff Position Regarding Engineered Alternatives LLWM staff presented a paper entitled " Update on NRC Staff Position Regarding Engineered Alternatives" at the Critical Path Disposal Technology Selection Seminar in Boston, MA, on July 1, 1987. The paper addresses three principal areas of LLWM's current work: -(1)activitiesinvolvedwithmeetingmilestones in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Amendments Act of 1985; (2) a conceptual design for a Mixed LLW disposal facility (Mixed LLW is waste that is considered both low-level radioactive waste and hazardous waste as defined by EPA regulations); and (3) an overview of NRC comments on the Department of Energy / Rogers and Associates Engineering report on conceptual designs for engineered alternative disposal methods. The paper includes exampies of draft technical review criteria for engineered alternative disposal methods that LLWM will be incorporating into the Standard Review Plan for license applications for LLW disposal facilities once the criteria are finalized.

U.S Court of Appeals Decision The U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued' review of an Order by the Commission (g a petition by interveners for a its decision on June 26, 1987 regardin CLI 86-4) for the extension of the Comanche Peak Unit 1 Construction Permit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision that there is no automatic expiration and forfeiture of a construction permit under Section 185 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) and that the Commission could amend the permit to extend the completion date-without instituting a de novo construction permit proceeding.
In addition, the Court held that Section 189(a) of the AEA does not require a pre-amendment hearing for a CP amendment where the Commission has made a "no 1
significant hazards" finding.
l 2.
NRC Appeal Board Decision The Appeal Board issued a decision (ALAB-868) on June 30, 1986, with Dr. Johnson dissenting, which affirms the Licensing Board's admission of a contention by interveners (CASE) in the hearing for the extension of the construction permit for Comanche Peak Unit 1.
The applicants and staff had appealed the ASLB's order granting intervention and a hearing on the CP extension. The amended contention alleges that the applicants had failed to demonstrate good cause for the extension because the " delay of construction of Unit I was caused by Applicant's intentional conduct which had no valid purpose and was the result of corporate policies which have not been discarded or repudiated by Applicants."

V ITEMS OF M Lh 6T Office of Enforcement Week Ending July 3, 1987 The following Significant Enforcement Action was taken the week of June 29, 1987.
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $500 was issued to Aztec Laboratories, Kansas City, Missouri on June 30, 1987. The action was based on failure to (1) make surveys the evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that were present after a fire (2) report an event involving licensed material that caused damage to property in excess of
$2,000,, (3) secure licensed materials, (4) test for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed six months, (5) maintain records of inventories as required, and (6) use licensed materials only at authorized locations.
(EN87-50)
Civil Penalties Paid the week of July 29, 1987.
1.
E. I. duPont de Nemours & Company, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts paid the civil penalty of $12,500. The action was based on an incident in which an individual did not follow the licensee's procedures and as a result received an overexposure to a small area of the left thumb. The over-exposure occurred when the technologist used his hand, rather than a remote handling device, to remove the cap from a vial containing approximately 300 millicuries of molybdenum-99/ technetium-99m.
(EA87-69) 2.
Arkansas Power and Light Company (Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1) paid the imposed civil penalty in the amount of $50,000.
The action was based on violations identified during the NRC's Safety System Functional Inspection.

tfC has been informed by the ihlte FIint North Limited Partnership, the 1
developers who built our new building, that they propose to provide up to 450 paid parking spaces at White Flint Mall for use by occupants of One Yhite Flint North. his will require approval by the Montganery County Park and Planning Cmmission of an application to arrend an existing special exception for the lot at the Mall site.
% e partnership wilI operate the facility, and wiiI charge s ployees for parking and shuttle bus service. Staff has been told infonmily that the rates charged would be slightly Imer than connercial rates in the area.
Cabiing he Office of Consolidation has decided to place the order for ADP and broadband cabling itself, without going through a contractor. This means that sane of the critical materials can be delivered within 2 or 3 weeks, and that installation can be expedited, thus preventing sane of the delays that had been anticipated earlier.
Schedule Barring any as yet unforeseen implications, it still looks as if most, if not alI, of the staff scheduled to move to One White FIint North wili be able to move in before the end of the year.

ITEMS ADDRESSED BY THE COMMISSION - WEEK ENDING JULY 3, 1987 A.
STAFF RE0VIREMENTS - AFFIRMATION / DISCUSSION AND V0TE, 10:00 A.M., THURSDAY, JUNE 25,1987, C0ftilSS10NERS' CONFERENCE R00fi, D.C. OFFICE (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE) - Memo to V. Stello, ED0 fm S. Chilk, SECY dated 7/1/87 I.-
SECY-87 Final Rule to Modify the Requirement that Power Reactor Licensees Maintain Property Damage Insurance The Commission, by a 5-0* vote, approved a final rule for publication in the Federal Register.
The rule amends 10 CFR 50.54(w) to require utilities to maintain $1.06 billion in on-site property insurance to provide financial security for stabilizing and decontaminating their licensed reactor in the event of an accident.
All Commissioners also approved OGC's approach (3A) to estab-lishing a trust arrangement to provide greater assurance of availability of funds for decontamination following an accident.
Commissioner Asselstine, while approving, would have preferred additional modifications which would set an absolute minimum of
$1.06 billion even if capacity fell below that amount and would have provided for periodic review by the staff of the amount of insurance required.
The attached editorial comments by Commissioner Carr should also be included in the Federal Register notice.
The Federal Register notice should be revised as noted and forwarded for signature and publication.
Attachment:
Not included
- Section 201 of the Energy Reorganization Act, 42 U.S.C.
55841, provides that action of the Commission shall be determined by a " majority vote of the members present."
Commissioners Bernthal and Carr were not present when this item was affirmed.
Accordingly, the formal vote of the Commission was 3-0 in favor of the decision.
Commissioners Bernthal and Carr, however, had previously indicated that they would approve this paper and had they been present they would have affirmed their prior votes.
