' listed below:
.A.
10 CFR 70.51(c). requires the licensee to " establish, maintain and follow-written material control and accounting procedures which are sufficient i
-to enable the licensee to account for special nuclear material in his possession'under. license".
c Contrary to-the above, the licensee failed to establish written 1
procedures for: calculating additions to and removals from' material in process; monitoring the quality of measurements with' regard to replicate-measurements of process materials; and responding to indications.that-1
. control measurement performed in the laboratory had exceeded control limits.
'This is-a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III).
B.
10 CFR 70.51(e)(4)(iv) requires-the licensee to complete and maintain "a record summarizing the quantities of element and fissile isotope, as appropriate, for. ending inventory of material in process, additions to material in process during the material balance interval and removals from the material in process during the material balance interval".
Contrary to.the above, for the July 15 - September 16, 1988 material balance interval, the licensee's summary of the quantities of addition to material in process and removals from material in process included 1
