The inspectors review also verified the licensee had established management measures for changes to the facility in accordance with 10 CFR 70, Subpart H and the license application, and those modifications involving new processes, if any, met the requirements in 10 CFR 70.64.
Sample Selection (IP Section 02.01)

Facility Change/Modification Process (IP Section 02.02)
The inspectors reviewed the selected modifications listed in Section 02.01 above to verify the licensee implemented a configuration management system in accordance with 10 CFR 70.72 and the conditions of the license. Specifically, the inspectors conducted the inspections activities listed below:
reviewed the following procedures to verify the configuration management system was documented in written procedures and the procedures addressed the aspects in 10 CFR 70.72(a):
o TA-500, Columbia Manufacturing Plant Configuration Control, Rev. 41 o RA-104, Regulatory Review of Configuration Change Authorization, Rev. 32 and 33 interviewed licensee staff; reviewed technical and regulatory evaluations, and performed walk-downs of the modifications selected in Section 02.01 above to verify the licensee provided valid technical bases to support the determination of whether an amendment to the license was required based on the criteria in 10 CFR 70.72(c) reviewed facility documentation associated with the selected plant modifications to verify the affected documents were updated promptly in accordance with 10 CFR 70.72(e) or the timeframe outlined in the license reviewed configuration management system records to verify the licensee submitted a summary with facility changes and revised ISA Summary pages to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 70.72(d)
Management Measures (IP Section 02.03)
For the selected modifications, the inspectors reviewed the management measures established for affected IROFS to verify the management measures ensured the IROFS were available and reliable to perform their intended function as required by 10 CFR 70.61 and the conditions of the license. Specifically, the inspectors conducted the inspection activities listed below:
reviewed management measures established for IROFS SBG-401, SBG-402, SBG-901, and SBG-902 as a result of CCF 19041 20
reviewed management measures for IROFS CHEM-407-H associated with CCF 21176 reviewed condition reports to determine whether the licensee identified configuration management, post modification testing, and/or plant modification issues and corrected the condition in accordance with the requirements in the license application reviewed the audit records listed below related to the configuration management system and interviewed licensee staff to verify the scope and frequency of audits, as well as corrective actions for audit findings, were conducted in accordance with the license application and facility procedures.
o EHS-AUDIT-21-14, Regulatory Component Audit for Configuration Management, Audits and Assessments; Record Keeping and Reporting, 11/16/2021 o RA-106, Regulatory Component Audits at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility, Rev. 42 o Corrective Action Program entries for audit findings: IR-2021-12497, IR-2021-12492, and IR-12498 License application Changes (IP Section 02.04)
For the selected modifications, the inspectors interviewed licensee staff and reviewed applicable chapters of the license application to verify the licensee evaluated license application changes and conducted NRC pre-approval screenings in accordance with the license requirements. Specifically, the inspectors conducted the inspection activities listed below:
reviewed the license application changes submitted to the NRC on January 26, 2021, (ADAMS Accession Number ML21026A323) to verify the licensee followed their approved change process reviewed changes to the license application as a result of the plant modifications listed in Section 02.01 of this inspection report New Processes at Existing Facilities (IP Section 02.05)
The inspectors interviewed licensee staff and conducted walk-downs to determine whether new fabrication processes were installed since the last NRC inspection in this area. The licensee had not implemented any new facility processes at the time of the inspection.
Therefore, the inspectors review did not include evaluations of whether the licensee addressed the baseline design criteria and defense-in-depth as stipulated in 10 CFR 70.64.
Records Retention (IP Section 02.06)
The inspectors reviewed the configuration management system application and a sample of plant documents impacted by the selected modifications to verify the licensee-maintained records of facility changes in accordance with the license requirements and 10 CFR 70.72.
The documents selected for review are listed in the "Documents Reviewed" section of this inspection report and included the following categories:
operating procedures system drawings 21
ISA Summary license application fire hazard analysis criticality safety evaluations records management procedure INSPECTION RESULTS Minor Violation 88015 Minor Violation: An event follow-up inspection was conducted from May 31 to June 1, 2022, for EN55911. The event resulted in the reported loss or degradation of IROFS in the Waterglass system which caused a failure to meet the performance requirements of 10 CFR 70.61. Details can be found in inspection report 70-1151/2022-002 (ML22200A247). The inspectors reviewed the 60-day report (ML22203A142).
Screening: The inspectors determined the violation was minor. Per NRC Manual Chapter 0616, Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Minor/More-than-Minor Examples, this issue aligns closely with example 1a. This issue is considered minor because the failure to complete CF-83-213 and the transfer of uranium bearing material did not adversely affect the overall concentration in T-1160.
Enforcement: The licensee took immediate corrective actions to restore compliance by shutting down the system and performing the required samples to verify the tanks were below criticality safety limits. Additionally, the licensee has taken the following corrective actions:
The associated procedure COP-835024 has been revised to specify that the V-1170 tanks shall be isolated, and the valves locked when the tanks are sampled to preclude the addition of uranium into the tank and invalidate the sample results until the time of transfer.
ISA-15, Wastewater Treatment System and associated calculation note CNSB 06 have been updated to justify multiple failures of WT-165, WT-166, WT-171, WT-172, WT-175 and WT-176 before the performance requirements would be exceeded.
The controls on system inputs limit the uranium content such that more than 3 consecutive failures of the IROFS would have to occur before the uranium content in T-1160B would approach the conservatively calculated limits, even when considering maximum possible uranium concentrations.
This failure to comply with Safety Condition S-1 of the Westinghouse Materials License and license application Section 3.4.1, Procedure Structure, constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the "NRC Enforcement Policy."
EN55911 is closed.
