4. Facility Operations and Internal Controls The inspector reviewed the licensee's FNMCP and appropriate procedures on

. storage and internal control of special nuclear material (SNM) applicable for the seven material balance areas (MBA's) and six item control areas  !

(ICA's).

The licensee maintains a. current perpetual inventory for both the facility as a whole and for each MBA and ICA. All stored materials were identified by measured SNM quantities and enrichments.

The inspector determined through review that the licensee had properly prepared and maintained control of SNM transfer documents. The inspector reviewed all of the MBA and ICA transfer documents for SNM issued in the physical inventory period of November 21, 1986 - January 9, 1987 for:

number of items, quantity of SNM transferred, location, timeliness, and signature of the authorized custodians / delegates involved in the transfer. i The values were compared to the central control record system and also I compared to the physical inventory reconciliation for the period ending January 9,.1987. No discrepancies were identified.

5. Records and Reports The inspector audited the nuclear material control records and reports for the material balance periods ending September 19, 1986, November 21, 1986, ,

and January 9, 1987. All line items on the SNM inventory reports for the l

three material balance periods were traced to source documents and compared to the records maintained by the licensee and to the DOE-NMMSS 1 computer tabulations. The licensee's general ledger was also checked for- j accuracy. Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (00E/NRC Form-741), which  !

documented receipts, shipment, measured discards, and inventory changes, were reviewed for timeliness, format, and accuracy of content. No i discrepancies were identified.

\

Material Status Reports (DOE /NRC Form-742) submitted for the material balance period ending September 30, 1986 were also reviewed for the same attributes. No discrepancies were identified.

The inspector determined that the licensee's control and subsidiary records for the periods under review were adjusted to the results of the  !

physical inventories, as required by NRC regulations. l

6. Exit Interview The inspector met with the licensee representatives indicated in j paragraph 1 at the conclusion of the inspection on June 12, 1987, and  !

summarized the scope and findings of the inspection. j At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspector.
