SUMMARY
United States Enrichment Corporation Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant NRC inspection Report 70-7002/98011(DNMS)
This inspection report includes aspects of plant operations, maintenance, engineering, and plant support. The report covers a six-week period of routine resident inspections.
Plant Operations e The inspectors identified examples of inadequate equipment tagging in the plant. The inspectors also raised issues with regards to Engineering's oversite of the labeling program. In response, the certificate initiated a review of the plant's labeling program to assess compliance with, and adequacy of, existing procedures. One inspector followup item was identified. (Section 01.1)
Maintenance
- The inspectors identified that the instrument mechanics worked past a procedural step without making the required verification signature. In response to continued problems with procedural adherence, the certificate was evaluating additional measures to monitor performance in the plant, including increased management oversite and self-assessments. One non-cited violation was identified. (Section M1.1)
- The inspoctors noted that the certificate failed to implement corrective action to prevent !
an unnecessary challenge to an autoclave safety system. One violation was identified.
(Section M1.2) ;
Engi)eerina e The inspectors identified that the certificate violated the design basis of the plant by j taking credit for the building evacuation homs to maintain the audibility requirements for the Criticality Accident Alarm System. One violation was identified. (Section E2.1)
Plant Support o The inspectors noted that the certificate's notification to the NRC of a potential compromise of classified information was untimely. The inspectors concluded that since the certificate had a reasonable expectation that the documents were classified due to the markings, the notification was required to be made within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of discovery of the documents.

- a. Inspection Scope (88100) ___.
The inspectors reviewed the implementation of the certificate's equipment tagging i
program.
- b. Observations and Findinas During a tour of the X-342 Building on July 8, the inspectors observed tagging on facility equipment. The inspectors noted that Autoclave No. 2 conductivity instrumentation and valves were not tagged. Additionally, the inspectors observed fragmented paper tagging on the conductivity instrumentation and valves for Autoclave No.1. The Site Boundary Book for the X-342 Building identified the conductivity components as an AQ-NCS i system. In discussions with the inspectors, the first line manager (FLM) explained that in j the early 1990s the certificate had a site-wide initiative to tag all equipment but, due to funding constraints, not all equipment received the appropriate tags. The FLM explained
- that the fragmented paper tags were not replaced during the initiative. The Building Manager issued Problem Report (PR) PTS-98-05261 to document the conditions, and the deficiencies viere corrected.
The inspectors also identified equipment that was not tagged in selected areas of the X-330 Building. The inspectors noted that three of 15 pressure transducers were not tagged in an instrument cubical located in the tails withdrawal area, including a transduar that had been recently replaced. Additionally, the inspectors noted that some intermediate surge drum room and tails area steam system components were not tagged, in response, the X-330 Building custodian issued prs PTS-98-05296,98-05297, and 98-05298 to document the conditions and replaced the missing tags. Additionally, th.e inspectors noted that the custodian initiated building walkdowns to verify other components were property tagged.
The inspecbrs also noted missing and deteriorated equipment identification tags during 4 routine tours of the X-600 and X-640-1 Buildings. The inspectors observed that several -
equipment identification tags were not readable because the material used as tags did not withstand the X-600 Building environment. AdditionaRy, the inspectors noted that gauges and a surge relief block valve did not have identification tags.
The inspectors reviewed Procedurs XP2-GP-GP1030, " Work Control Process," and Work i Order 9820054-01, " Install and Calibrate PBM-1678." The work order provided instructions to install and calibrate the pressure transducer that was recently replaced at
. Tails. The inspectors noted that action steps in the work order did not address equipment identification tagging. Additionally, the inspectors noted that Procedure XP2-GP-GP1030, which provided the guidance for preparing maintenance work activities, did i not address equipment identification tagging.

The inspectors also reviewed the Procedure XP-SH-SH1037, " Identification of Equipment .
and Piping Systems." The procedure established the requirements and responsibilities I for instituting and maintaining an identification program for equipment and piping systems. The procedure also required that a Plant Labeling Coordinator provide oversite i and a point of contact for the development of the equipment and piping systems identification program. In addition, Procedure XP2-SH-SH1037 identified Engineering as responsible for the properidentification of equipment and piping. During followup the inspectors raised an issue with regards to the adequacy of Engineering's oversite of the labeling program.
In response to the inspectors' issues, the certificate initiated a review of the plant's labeling program to assess compliance with, and adequacy of, existing procedures. The inspectors' review cf the certificate's completed assessment is an inspector Followup item (IFl 70-7002/98011-01).
c. Conclusion
l The inspectors identified examples of inadequate equipment tagging in the plant. The inspectors also raised issues with regards to Engineering's oversite of the labeling program. In response, the certificate initiated a review of the plant's labeling program to assess compliance with, and adequacy of, existing procedures. One IFl was identified.

On July 16, during a review of documents associated with an ongoing surveillance on Autoclave No. 3 at the X-343 Building, the inspectors noted that the instrument 4 mechanics had worked past a procedural step without making the required verification signature. Step 8.2.24 of Procedure XP4-TE-lM6710, "X-342, X-343, and l X-344 Autoclave Temperature Calibration," required that the instrument mechanic sign in the appendix to verify that a lead was reconnected per the previous step. Although the mechanic apparently reconnected the lead, the verification signature was not completed.
The certificate documented the deficiency in PR PTS-98-05347. In response to continued problems with procedural adherence, the certificate had previously performed a stand down during the first week of June to heighten the awareness of plant personnel.
The certificate was also evaluating some additional measures to monitor performance in the plant, including increased management oversite and self-assessments.
Failure to follow plant procedures is a violation of TSR 3.9.1. However, since the certificate has taken action to address the problem, the failure is being treated as a Violation of Minor Significance not subject to formal enforcement action, consistent with Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NUREG-1600, Revision 1). (NCV 70-7002/98011 02).
- c. Conclusions in response to continued problems with procedural adherence, the certificate was evaluating additional measures to monitor performance in the plant, including increased management oversite and self-assessments. One NCV was identified.

i M1.2 Inadeauste Action To Prevent Autoclave Shutdown l
- a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the circumstances regarding a spurious autoclave containment isolation at the X-344 Building.
l b. Observations and Findinas On June 30, X-344 Autoclave Operator:: responded to a high condensa'te level alarm on Autoclave No. 3 and noted that, althour.: the containment valves had closed, no containment isolation signal was recel' ad, in addition, the operators verified that no indication of a uranium hexafluoride ('JF6) release inside the autoclave existed.
Upon further investigation, the certificate determined that the high condensate level alarm was due to a spurious closure of the autoclave containment valves. The cert!ficatee speculated that the containment isolation was due to a short or open circuit which resulted from electrical maintenance troubleshooting activities on Autoclave No. 4.
The two autoclaves shared a common programmable logic control circuit.
The inspectors noted that a similar event occurred in August 1997, documented in PR PTS-97-7051. As corrective action to the August 1997 event, Operations staff issued a memorandum to multiple addressees, including cognizant maintenance and work control personnel, to include in applicable work instructions a precaution to isolate the autoclave being repaired. The precaution was not included in the troubleshooting work package for Autoclave No. 4.
10 CFR 76.93, " Quality Assurance," requires that the Corporation shall establish, maintain, and execute a quality assurance program satisfying each of the applicable requirements of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1-1989,
" Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facilities."
ASME NQA-1-1989, Basic Requirement 16, "Correctivs Action," states that conditions adverse to vality (CAQS) shall be identified promptly and corrected as soon as possible.
C8 of Appendix A of XP4-BM-Cl1002," Problem Report Screening Process," lists inadequate work instruction as a specific example of a CAQ.
Contrary to the above, the certificate did not take action to prevent the spurious containment isolation of Autoclave No. 3 in the X-344 Building on June 30,1998. The certificate's intended corrective action to prevent recurrence of an August 1997 event, to add a precaution to the work package to isolate Autoclave No. 4 during a maintenance activity, was not implemented. This is a Violation (VIO 70-7002/98011-03).
- c. Conclusion The inspectors concluded that the certificate failed to take corrective action to prevent j an unnecessary challenge to an autoclave safety system. One violation was identified.

M8 Miscellaneous Maintenance issues M8.1 (Closed) VIO 70-7002/98002-01: Failure to implement Procedure XP2-GP-GP1033,
" Lifted Leads and Jumpers," during maintenance activities for"Q" systems. The certificate detcrmined that the root cause for the violation was that FLMs did not discuss lift leads and jumper (LL&J) procedural requirements during pre-job briefings. In addition, l
LL&J training was only given to group managers, front line managers, and planners, but i not to craft personnel. As corrective action, the certificate retrained FLMs to ensure
! pre-job briefs provided a thorough discussion of allitems on the pre-brief checklist, including LL&J requirements. The certificate also retrained planners to ensure that LL&J requirements were included in applicable work packages, and trained all
- maintenance craft personnel on the requirements of the LL&J program. The inspectors i reviewed a sample of completed work packages to verify that LL&J procedura!
l requirements were adequatelyimplemented. This item is closed.
M8.2 (Closed) IFl 70-7002/98002-02: Inconsistent tagging of out-of-service equipment in l- Buildings X-342,343, and 344. The Building X-342,343, and 344 Facility Custodian
- issued written guidance to responsible FLMs that clarified the criteria for tagging
! out-of-service equipment. In addition, the certificate performed a comparison of the l tagging requirements and usage in the cascade facilities and determined that there was a general consensus on the criteria for tagging out-of-service cascade equipment. During the inspection period, the inspectors observed consistent use of tagging of out-of-service equipment in the plant. This item is closed.
111. Enaineerina E2 Engineering Support of Facilities and Equipment l E2.1 Use of Daily Operatina Instructions (Dols) To Replace Procedural Requirements
- a. Inspection SCoDe (88101)
The inspectors reviewed resolution of technical issues by engineering to verify compliance with the design basis of the plant.
- b. Observations and Findinas On June 17, the inspectors identified an issue during review of engineering evaluation Eval-X220J-E1109RO-SE-01, Revision 1. The evaluation described the coverage provided by CAAS horns and included maps of the 200-foot immediate evacuation zone during a system actuation or when TSR actions for alarm inaudibility were implemented.
The inspectors noted that the evaluation concluded that either the building evacuation homs or the CAAS nitrogen homs would meet the TSR requirements for audibility in the CAAS clustered and slaved facilities. The evaluation recommended that applicable plant procedures be revised to include the guidance provided in the conclusion. The certificate initiated a DOI on June 15, to implement the new guidance until the procedure was revised.
The inspectors reviewed Section 3.8 of the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and noted that the buiMing evacuation homs were not specifically listed in the safety system boundary (Q or AQ) for CAAS. The CAAS TSRs also did not require the building homs to maintain operability of the CAAS system. The procedure change request (PCR) to incorporate the 8
recommendations of the evaluation, which was in the final approval process, did not identify that the recommended actions involved a change to plant operations as described in the SAR and TSR. As immediate corrective action, on June 17 the certificate j canceled the DOI and revised the PCR to require the nitrogen homs to maintain I operability of the CAAS.
Technical Specification Requirement 3.9.1 requires that written procedures shall be prepared, reviewed, approved, implemented, and maintained to cover activities described in SAR Secilon 6.11.4.1 and listed in Appendix A to SAR Section 6.1h, AppendN A to SAR Section 6.11 requires that " communications" shall be covered by written procedures.
Paragraph 3.3 of Procedure XP2-US-FO1105, " COP-6 Policies And Instructions," states, in part, that Dols will not instruct anyone to replace guidance in approved procedures.
I
! Contrary to the above, DOI 300-98-111 dated June 15,1998, replaced guidance in
! approved Procedure XP2-CO-CA2030, " Operation of Criticality Accident Alarm System," to take credit for building evacuation homs to maintain operability of CAAS in affected facilities if local CAAS nitrogen homs were inoperable, a Violation (VIO 70-7002-98011-04).
I L c. Conclusion l The inspectors concluded that the certificate violated the design basis of the plant by l taking credit for the building evacuation homs to maintain the audibility requirements for l the CAAS.
E8 Miscellaneous Enaineerina issues l
i E8.1 (Closed) VIO 70-7002/97008-03: Use : i nonstandard 1S Cylinders without a valid l Nuclear criticality Safety Analysis (NCSA). The certificate determined that the root .
l I cause for the violation was a lack of understanding of procedure requirements for reviewing existing NCSAs for applicability to other similar activities. As corrective action, the certificate conducted informal training sessions for Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) l personnel to review current proceduras goveming NCSA preparation and discussed 6essons leamed. The certificate also prepared NCSA-PLANT 078.A00,"Use of Ledoux IS at PORTS," to authorize the use of the nonstandard cylinders. This item is closed.
- l. .
l E8.2 (Closed) CER 70-7002/97005-03 (97-10): Cylinder high pressure safety actuation while heating a 21/2-ton Russian cylinder. The certificate determined that the root cause of ,
the actuation was the release of trapped gases withh the cylinder that developed due to the cold ambient environment in Russia where the cylinders were cooled. As corrective action, the certificate revised applicable autoclave operating procedures to include an enhanced cylinder valve clarity check prior to cylinder heating and an attemate valving l-configuration to reduce the time required to burp cylinders, in addition, the certificate reduced the rate of heat applied to the cylinders during the heating process. This item is closed.
E8.3 (Closed) CER 70-7002/97-12: Autoclave high condensate level shutoff actuation in the X-343 Building. The certificate determined that the root cause of the actuation was the closure of the steam supply valve, removing the motive force for the condensate to drain.
The steam valves closed due to the actuation of the low cylinder pressure safety system, 9 ..

which was caused by insufficient heatup of the cylinder. As corrective action, the certificate revised autoclave operating procedures to require a minimum of two hours of cylinder heating before feeding to the cascade.
l IV. Plant Support l
P8 Miscellaneous Plant Support issues i P8.1 Untimelv Notification of Security Violation l a. Inspection Scope (88100) l The inspectors reviewed the circumstances regarding the certificate's untimely notification of a security violation.
- b. Observations and Findinas l On July 9, at approximately 5:15 p.m., the acting Nuclear Regulatory Assurance (NRA) l Manager discovered two documents that were labeled as classified documents in a l
locked desk drawer, an unapproved storage container for such documents. The documents had apparently been stored in the drawer for an extended period of time l without the knowledge of the manager. The manager moved the documents to an
! appropriate storage container until the following moming. At approximately 9:00 a.m., the next day, plant security personnel confirmed that the documents contained classified information, in response, the certificate made a 1-hour notification to the NRC. j During followup, the inspectors noted that the certificate's notification of the violation l was untimely. The inspectors concluded that, since the certificate had a reasonable expectation that the documents were classified due to the markings, the notification was required to be made within one of discovery of the documents. In addition, even after the documents were confirmed to be classified, the certificate did not make the notification until almost three hours later. The delay was apparently due to communication problems among the individuals involved which resulted in a delay in rei.orting the violation to the PSS office.
Technical Safety Requirement 3.9.1 requires that written procedures be implemented to cover activities described in SAR Section 6.11.4.1, and listed in Appendix A to SAR Section 6.11.
Appendix A to SAR Section 6.11 states that " investigations and reporting" shall be covered by a written procedure.
Paragraph 6.2.1.E of Procedure UE2-RA-RE1030, " Nuclear Regulatory Event Reporting,"
requires that the PSS verbally notify the appropriate NRC office of reportable events within the time requirements shown in Appendix A, of the procedure.
Paragraph L.4 of Appendix A to Procedure UE2-RA-RE1030 requires that any possible l
compromise of classified information or classified documents be reported verbally to the NRC immediately (within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />).
Contrary to the above, on July 9,1998, the certificate did not verbally notify the NRC within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of discovering classified documents in an unapproved storage container, a possible compromise classified information. This is a Violation (VIO 70-7002/9801145).
10
- c. Conclusion The inspectors concluded that the certificate's notification of the violation was untimely.
The inspectors concluded that, since the certificate had a reasonable expectation that the documents were classified due to the markings, the notification was required to be made within one hour of discovery of the documents.
P8.2 (Closed) VIO 70-7002/97003-11: Failure to tin cylinder valves and plugs with the material specified in ANSI N14.1-1990 as required by the transportation Certificate of Compliance.
As corrective action, the certificate issued a stop work notice preventilig the transfer of all 30B Cylinders that had valve or plug changes performed on plant site pending resolution of the issue. The certificate then requested and received an amendment to the NRC Certificate of Compliance that approved the use of the attemate solder material.
This issue is closed.
P8.3 (Closed) VIO 70-7002/97004-03: Failure to secure confidential material before allowing uncleared personnel in Building X-330, Area Control Room (ACR) 2. As corrective action, the certificate removed the confidential material from the ACR. To ensure other areas were in compliance with the regulations, a walkdown of the other ACRs containing classified operations was completed. The certificate did not identify additional examples where labeling revealed classified restricted data. This issue is closed.
P8.4 (Closed) VIO 70-7002/97010-05: Failure to conduct public warning system (PWS) surveillance required by emergency procedure. The inspectors confirmed that the certificate instituted the required PWS audible semi-annual testing through record review. Additionally, the certificate issued Procedure XP2-EP-EP4001, " Test and inspection of the Public Waming System," which addressed, in part, activities performed prior to a scheduled PWS which could alter the audible PWS surveillance. This issue is closed.
