Docket W. 70-1257
Dear Mr. Rouse:
Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation (ANF) hereby requests that License 4
No. SNM-1227 be amended to acknowledge a change of the ANF shareholder, to authorize ANF to use cert ain release guidelines, to provide the latest guideline, to correct the lower detection level of certain radiation safety instruments listed in Table 1-3.1 and to correct the calibration interval for dose rate instruments. Copies of the revised pages (Rev.14) of the 1icense application, document ANF-2 reflecting t hese changes, are enclosed
]
for your review, i
There has been a realignment within the Siemens Capital Corporation organizations, wherein a Delaware Corporation named Siemens KWU, Inc., has l
become the shareholder of 100% of ANF common stock. However, Siemens KWU, l
Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens Capit al Corporation and t he change in shareholder is but administrative in nature.
The letter dated April 28, 1987 from Hans W. Decker, President of Siemens Capital Corpora-tion, to you assuring the availability of funding for decommissioning is st ill valid and appropriate.
r The license application, Section 1.6, " Exempt ions and Special Authoriza-l tions," has been revised to include authorization for and to utilize the s
" Guidelines for Decontamination of f acilities and Equipment Prior to Release for Unrestricted Use or Termination of Licenses for By-Product, Source, or Special Nuclear Material." This authorization has been listed in the new Subsection 1.6.8, " Authorized Release Guidelines."
The August 1987 edit ion of the guidelines will replace the one which currently exists
]
in the application in Appendix A to Chapter 3.
j i
i Section 3.2.4.1 has been revised to correct the calibration frequency
]
for dose rate instruments and Table 1-3.1, " Radiation Safety Instrument j
ilities," has been revised to include corrected lower limits of 4
det5 ion for certain instruments.

ANF-2, Rev. 18 U
i The instructions in this guide, in conjunction with Table 1, specify the radionuclides and radiation exposure rate limits which should be used in decontamination and survey of surfaces or premises and equipment prior to abandonment or release for unrestricted use. The limits in Table I do not a pply to premises, equipment, or scrap containing induced radioactivity for w11ch the radiological considerations pertinent to their use may be different.
The release of such facilities or items from regulatory control is considered on a case-by-case basis.
1.
The licensee shall make a reasonable effort to eliminate residual contamination.
2.
Radioactivity on equipment or surfaces shall not be covered by paint, plating, or other covering material unless contamination levels, as determined by a survey and documented, are below the limits specified in Table I prior to the application of the covering. A reasonable effort must be made to minimize the contamination prior to use of any covering.
3.
The radioactivity on the interior surfaces of pipes, drain lines, or ductwork shall be determined by making measurements at all traps, and other appropriate access points, provided that contamination at these locations is likely to be representative of contamination on the interior of the pipes, drain lines, or ductwork. Surfaces of premises, equipment, bq or scrap which are likely to be, contaminated but are of such size, construction, or location as to make.the surface inaccessible for purposes of measurement shall D'e presumed to be contaminated in excess of the limits.
4.
Upon request, the Comm.ission may authorize a licensee to relinquish possession or control of premises, equipment, or scrap having surfaces contaminated with materials in excess of the limits specified. This may include, but would not be limited to, special circumstances such as razing of buildings, transfer of premises to another organization continuing work with radioactive materials, or conversion of facilities to a long-tenn storage or standby status. Such requests must:
I a.
Provide detailed, specific information describing the premises, equipment or scrap, radioactive contaminants, and the nature, extent, and degree of residual surface contamination.
b.
Provide a detailed health and safety analysis which reflects that the residual amounts of materials on surface areas, together with other considerations such as prospective use of the premises, equipment, or scrap, are unlikely to result in an unreasonable risk to the health and safety of the public, i

}
5.
Prior to release of premises for unrestricted use, the licensee shall make a comprehensive radiation survey which establishes that contamination is within the limits specified in Table 1.
A copy of the survey report shall be filed with the Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and also the Administrator of the NRC Regional Office having jurisdiction. The report should be filed at least 30 days prior to the planned date of abandonment.
The survey report shall:
a.
Identify the premises.
b.
Show that reasonable effort has been made to eliminate residual contamination.
c.
Describe the scope of the survey and general procedures followed.
d.
State the findings of the survey in units specified in the instruction.
Following review of the report, the NRC will consider visiting the facilities to confirm the survey.

PART II - SAFETY DEMONSTRATION 14 CHAPTER 9 GENERAL INFORMATION 9.1 Corporate Information The names, addresses and citizenship of the current principal officers of Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation are listed in Table 11-9.1. Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation is wholly-owned by Siemens KWU, Inc., a Delaware Corporation which, in turn, is wholly-owned by Siemens Capital Corporation, that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens AG, a Federal Republic of Germany corporation.
The top organizational structure of Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corpora-tion is depicted in Figure 11-9.1.
The President reports to the Board of Directors and directs all company functions. The fuel fabrication plant, to which this license applies, is under the sole direction of the Vice President, Engineering and Production Division.
There are four Departments within the Engineering and Production Division which are involved in the handling and/or processing of special nuclear material.
These are:
Operations-Richland, Materials and Scheduling, Process and Equipment Engineering, and Fuel Engineering and e
Technical Services.
Additional descriptive information on these organi-zations was presented in Chapter 2.
9.2 Financial Qualification A copy of the annual report for 1986 of Siemens AG is appended at the end of this chapter which describes the financial condition of the corporation with which Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation is affiliated.
9.3 Summary of Operating Objective and Process 9.3.1 General The objective of activities covered by this license application is the production of low enriched uranium fuel for light water reactors.
This is accomplished by beginning with UF6 as a feed stock and incorpor-ates processes ancillary to the main process including liquid wast e treatment and disposal, scrap recovery and recycle, and combustible waste incineration and disposal.
Plant capacity is nominally 700 metric tons per year.
