HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMAT!0N REPORT 4
WEEK ENDING JULY 7, 1989 Shoreham On June 28, 1989, the Long Island Lighting Company's (LILCO) shareholders, as-expected, voted to accept;the terms of the New York State /LILCO settlement agreement to transfer ownership of Shoreham to a state agency f9r the purpose of decommissioning it. All. parties have now approved the terms of the agree-ment. On June 30, 1989, members of LILCO's senior management will brief the Region I Administrator on their plans to support the requirements of Shoreham's full-power license while implementing the terms of the agreement.
PILGRIM' NUCLEAR POWER STATION The plant successfully completed the shutdown from outside the control room to hot shutdown test on June 29, 1989. During the test, the licensee denenstrated the ability to stabilize plant conditions in hot shutdown and to commer.ce a controlled forced cooldown. Startup and power escala-tion to 50% is complete with readiness. for the next power plateau esti-mated for the week of July 10, 1989.
St. Josephs Hospital During the course of a routine inspection conducted on June 27-28, 1989, Region III Radiation Special.ists measured radiation levels of 80 to The 100 millirem per hour in an unrestricted area of the hospital.
source of the radiation was from a storage safe housing cesium-137 and The radiation specialists remainen onsite until the radium-226 sources.
licensee added sufficient shielding to the safe to reduce levels to 0.3 millirem per hour. The licensee is currently conducting an investigation
-into the uses of the unrestricted area to determine dose estimates for individuals who may have been in the area. The excessive radiation levels may have been present since 1984. A number of other apparent f
violations indicative of a management breakdown were identified. An j
enforcement conference will be held with the licensee later this month.
Bilateral Safeguards Meetings On July 5-6, 1989, two International Safeguards Branch representatives parti-Republic of Germany (FRG) guards meetings with representat cipated in bilateral safe at the Department of State. Topics discussed during the meetings included:
state systems of accounting and centrol in the U.S. and FRG, current status of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards implementation in both countries, long-term guidelines for INFCIRC-66 safeguards, safeguards for nuclear waste, safeguards for spent fuel conditioning plants, IAEA inspector designation procedures, IAEA Safeguards Implementation Report for 1988, safeguards for reprocessing plants and cooperation in safeguards research and development.

On June 30, 1989, members of LILCO's senior management will brief the Region I Administrator on their plans to support the requirements of Shoreham's full-power licer.se while implementing the terms of the agreement.
Waterford, Grand Gulf, Arkansas Nuclear One On June 26, 1989, officials from Grand Gulf, Waterford, and Arkansas Nuclear One informed NRR of the status and schedule for the proposed consolidation of the operation and maintenance under a single nuclear management company.
Existing proposed license amendments on Waterford and ANO will be modified to remove reference to Systems Energy Resources, Inc. and a new proposed amendment will be submitted on Grand Gulf to accomplish the consolidation. The actions for ANO and Grand Gulf appear firm at this time; the Waterford action is still tentative and will depend upon a favorable finding by the Louisiana Pubite Service Commission.
The licensees are optimistic that the submittals to the NRC will be made by early September 1989. With modification to the notices on proposed issuance of license amendments for safety and antitrust matters and the staff's review, the issuance of license amendments is not expected before sarly November 1989.
Rancho Seco - Bids From Prospective Buyers On Friday, June 30, 1989, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) officials cpened bids from prospective buyers for Rancho Seco. A total of five bids were received; the bids submitted are listed below.
The Quadrex Corporation along with Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation offered a $232 million purchase price for Rancho Seco, including $50 million in cash and the assumption of over $182 million in current SMUD decommissioning liabilities. Quadrex said they would also assume the nuclear insurance obligations required by the Price-Anderson Act and would sell power to the District at predetermined rates. The bid was accompanied by a $500,000 cashiers' check payable to the SMUD to reimburse the SMUD for the cost of evaluating and negotiating a contract with Quadrex.
Sacramento Delta Power Corporation, a subsidiary of portland General Exchange, Inc., (PGX), offered to pay $100 million, over a 25 year period, for the Rancho Seco non-nuclear components necessary for conversion of the plant to a natural gas-fired facility. Their JUNE 7, 1989 ENCLOSURE A

offer is contingent upon the District's 25-year purchase of 400 MW of firm power, starting with 200 MW available over the Pacific Intertie from PGX in 1990. The proposal was accompanied by a
$500,000 check.
CMS Energy Corporation proposed purchase of the non-nuclear assets of Rancho Seco and conversion to a natural gas-fired power' plant.
Their proposal calls for the long-term sale of 400 MW of electricity to SMUD. The company did include the required $500,000.
Consolidated Power Company offered to repower Rancho Seco using a natural gas-fired steam electric cycle. The company did not discuss specific details for the repowering costs. They did not include the required $500,000 check.
The Methacoal Corporation offered to convert Rancho Seco to a methacoal combined cycle power plant. The offer did not discuss any financial details nor was a check for $500,000 included.
SMUD officials plan to recommend a successful bidder to the Beard of Directors on August 3, 1989, file a ballot measure August lith to ask the public if they want to sell Rancho Seco, and vote on the ballot measure on November 7,1989, General Election Day.
Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station The Commission received two motions dated July 3,1989 f rom the attorneys representing Mr. Joseph Macktal. One motion requests the Commission to recuse themselves from any other consideration of any matter related to Mr. Macktal. The second motion requests that a subpoena issued by 01, directing Mr. Macktal to appear at the MRC's Region IV OI office on July 6,1989 to discuss issues related to Comanche Peak, be quashed in its entirety. The staff remains ready to meet with Mr. Macktal on July 6,1989 as required by the subpoena.

Office of Enforcement Items of Interest Week Ending July 7, 1989 Significant Enforcement Actions A Withdrawal of Civil Penalty was issued June 30, 1989 to Hcustdn Lighting and Power Company (South Texas Project, Unit 1). The Civil Penalty was proposed on March 17, 1989 and the licensee responded in a letter dated April 12, 1989. After consideration of the licensee's response, the staff concluded that the violation did occur.
However, the proposed civil penalty was withdrawn after considering the licensee's arguments for mitigation.
(EN89-29A)
A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $75,000 was issued on July 5, 1989 to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (DiabloCanyon). The action was based on violations in twe areas of concern.
In the first, various violations involving engineering and design control were identified which resulted in, amcng other things, having less than the required nur.iber of auxiliary feedwater pumps.
In the second, the licensee failed to take corrective actions for idcntified conditions adverse to quality. The escalation and mitigation factors were considered and for the first problem 50 percent mitigation of the base civil penalty wcs deemed appropriate for the licensee's corrective actions.
In the case of the second problem mitigation for corrective actions was offset by escala' %n for past poor performance.
(EN89-66)
Civil Penalties Paid Commonwealth Edison Company (Byron Unit ?) paid the civil penalty in the emount of $50,000. The action was based on a loss of one train of the residual heat removal system while the reactor coolant system water level was being lowered in September 1988.
(EA88-266)
James River Corporation, Richmond, Virginia paid the civil penalty in the amount of $1,250. The action was based on an incident in which a generally-licensed device containing 22.5 mil 1(curies of americium-241 was inadvertently disposed cf in a sanitary landfill.
(EA 89-62)
V.A. Medical Center, Loma Linda, California paid the civil penalty in the amount of $6,500. The action was based on v%1ations identified during a December 1967 inspection involving f ailures ta: evaluate radiation exposures, perform annual refresher training, perform various surveys, evaluate dose calibrator results, and review and renew research projects using licensed materials on en annual basis.
(EA88-39)
GPU Nuclear Corporation (0yster Creek) paid the proposed civil penalty in the amount of $50,000. The action vas based on a violation of the equipment qualification requirements of 10 CFR 50.49.
(EA88-203)
JULY 7, 1989 ENCLOSURE L
Civil Penalties Paid (Con't)
Ellis Fischel State Cancer Center, Columbia, Missouri paid the proposed civil penalty in the amount of $5,000. The action was based on (1) replace-ment of the RSO and the Chairman of the Radiation Safety Connittee and adding an area of radioactive waste storage without NRC approval, (2) failure to: perform thyroid bicassays, measure radiation levels in restricted and
{
unrestricted areas, use correction factors when measuring for omolybdenam-99 in eluates, have the RSC meet the 3rd quarter of 1988, provide radiation exposure information to one individual when requested, check teletherapy room monitor before each day of use of the unit, include required information l
on a radiation exposure record, (3) failure of a radiation monitor to indicate that the teletherapy source was partially exposed, and (4) use of licensed material by unauthorized individuals.

b.
The respective roles of OGC, NRR, and RES to meet the proposed objective, including anticipated resource requirements.
c.
Advisability of broadening the scope, as appropriate, i
of other ongoing efforts to include license renewal j
(e.g., should the efforts to develop mainte' nance j
standards consider the elements necessary to support a license renewal application?
Should the individual plant examination (IPE) program be reviewed for a
consistency with any potential requirement for license renewal?
For example, if a Level-3 PRA is required for closure of all severe accident issues, such information should be conveyed to all licensees-for consideration when conducting their IPE).

SUBJECT:
SUPPORT FOR ON-SITE LICENSING REPRESENTIVES This is to confirm our earlier discussion on my inability to continue as Headquarter point of contact with the ORus since I have been detailed as Section Leader.
This matter has been discussed with Bob Browning and he has concurred.
Susan Bilhorn has worked closely with me in this area, often independently and always efficiently and effectively.
Further, her job functions place her in frequent contact with the OR's and make her a logical choice for this responsibility.
I enjoyed working with the OR's and will miss the view of the HLW program that it provided.
The one loose end I'm aware of is the need to produce a DWM Policy and Procedure memorandum on Use of NRC GSA Assigned Vehicles at DOE Repository Sites.
The attached Memorandum from Dave Clark. ELD, provides a solid base for this action.

1 February 12, 1986 NOTE TO:
Jerry Gimnatana Division of Waste Management, NMSS USE OF GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED VEHICLES This responds to the questions raised by Paul.Prestholt, On-Site Licensing Representative (OSLR) at Las Vegas,
- Nevada, in his memorandum to Robert E. Browning dated January 15, 1986.
We have been informed by Ms. LaMastra that Mr. Presholt's blanket travel authorization has been revised so as to eliminate the problems described in his first question.
The second question relates to whether Federal employees, employees of contractors and other persons may be passengers in the GSA vehicle, whether or not they are traveling on Government travel orders which may or may not show the GSA vehicle as a means of transportation.
GSA and NRC regulations provide that Government-furnished vehicles shall be used only for official purposes.
41 C.F.R. 5101-39.602-1 NRC Appendix 1501, Part !!!-C.
Hence, the only individuals who may be transported in Government vehicles are those whose transportation serves an official purpose of the U.S. Government.
We know of no law or regulation s,
that specifically requires Federal employees to be in an official travel status with orders which authorize them to be a
passenger in a
Government-furnished vehicle before they can be driven someplace.
Such orders, however, would remove any question as to whether they were traveling on official business. Without such orders a passenger, in the event of an accident, would be d6 pendent upon his own testimony that he was on official business.
Such testimony could or could not be supported by the testimony of his supervisor.
If the trip was made without an accident, the passenger who was a Federal employec and whose transportation did not serve an official purpose would be subject to a charge of misuse of Government property and disciplinary sanctions.
10 C.F.R. 50.735-43; NRC Manual Chapter 4171.
If an accident occurred and the passenger was infured, he l
may find that he is not covered by the Federal Employees Compensation Act, l
5 U.S.C. Chapter 81.
l GSA and OPhi regulations require drivers of Government vehicles to have both 1
a valid State drivers' license and a Federal operator's permit (Standard Form 46), 41 C.F.R. 5101-39.601(a): 5 C.F.R. 5030.
However, operators do not need a Federal operator's permit if they have a valid State license, are on travel status, their orders specifically authorize the use of the vehicle, and their need for the vehicle is temporary. 41 C.F.R. 5101-39.601(b).
Mr. Prestholt set forth his recommendations concerning blanket travel orders and the use of vehicles.
We have no problem, from a legal point of view, B906070345 860228 NM S SUBJ 10 CF m
I N.
i i
' with recommendations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9.
In 7 he recommended that. a spouse of an On-Site Licensing Representative be allowed to accompany the OSLR when the latter is on official business.
Since the spouse is not conducting official business for the NRC, it would be improper to permit the spouse to accompany the OSLR.
In this connection, it should be noted that J
the Antideficiency Act, 31 U.S.C.
51341. provides that no employee of the United States shall accept voluntary services for the United States.
This i
Act, however, has been interpreted to permit gratuitous services provided they were the subject of a prior written agreement, 7 Comp. Gen. 810 (1928),
26 Comp. Gen. 956 (1947).
The OSLR, however, would not be able to make such an agreement with his spouse because there would be a conflict of interest.
Recommendation 10 assumes travel orders are required by passengers.
Since that is not the case, we need not comment on 10. Please advise if we can be of further assistance.
