INSPECTION NO. 70-36/98-202 ABB Combustion Engineering Inc.
Docket No. 70-36 Hematite, Missouri 63047 License No. SNM-33 i
During a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 8 - 12,1998, a l
violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statements of l
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is described l
below:
l V10LATION NO. 98-202-01 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 74.31 (c) (6) states the following:
l The licensee shall maintain current knowledge of items when the sum of the time of l
existence of an item, the time to make a record of the item, and the time necessary to locate the i+em exceeds 14 days.
l Contrary to the above, licensee personnel failed to maintain current knowledge of l
three cylinders of UF, from January 4,1998, until June 9,1998 for a total of 156 days.
l The cylinders were intentionally shipped from Combustion Engineering on January 4, l
1998, but the cylinders were not removed from the item control record. On May 11, 1998, an item control test by the licensee identified the three cylinders as shipped; l
however, the item control record was not updated. On June 9,1998, one of the cylinders was selected as part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) vertical l
slice but could not be located. At that time all three cylinders were identified again as shipped, and the item control record was updated.
This is a severity level IV violation (Supplement Ill).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, ABB Combustion Engineering (Licensee) is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region lil, and Chief, Fuel Cycle Operations Branch, Division of Fuel l

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time. If you contest this enforcement action, you should also provide a copy of your response to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.

that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.

If you request withholding of such material, you muit j
l specifically identify portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in l
l detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
