Inspection Document Request for NRC Inspection at Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.

The following is a request of documents the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspectors are interested in reviewing prior to the on-site inspection visit consistent with the guidance in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0620, Inspection Documents and Records.

The documents provided in response to this request should contain enough information to facilitate the selection of specific inspection samples. Please provide the current version of these documents unless specified otherwise. If any of the information requested below does not apply to the facility, please specify in your response. The licensee is not required to provide documents that are already available in ADAMS. Electronic media is preferred for receiving the information, if readily available (preferably Microsoft Word format or searchable

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 88020 - OPERATIONAL SAFETY Documents Requested in Advance for In-Office Preparation

1) Latest version of the license application (if different from the revisions submitted to the NRC in calendar year 2020)

2) Latest version of the Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) Summary (if different from the revision submitted to the NRC in January 2022)

3) Procedures governing the implementation of the following management measures, as applicable to items relied on for safety (IROFS) and/or other safety controls credited in the license application:

Configuration Management Maintenance Training and Qualifications Procedures Development and Implementation Audits and Assessments Incident Investigations and Corrective Action Records Management Quality Assurance (QA) for IROFS

4) List of corrective action program documents generated in the last 12 months related to problems with IROFS, including degraded or failed IROFS. Please include a brief description of the problem, if practical.

5) List of temporary compensatory measures put in place in the last 12 months to support degraded or failed IROFS. Please include a brief description of the compensatory measure, if practical.

6) List of plant changes implemented in the last 12 months that affected IROFS; including modifications of existing controls, elimination of previous controls, and addition of new controls

7) List of changes in the operations organization in the last 12 months that were subject to the position-specific requirements of the license application 2

8) Copy of the most recent self-assessment and/or audits report in the area of operational safety, including chemical and fire safety

9) Contact information for key personnel expected to support the operational safety inspection Documents/Support Requested for On-site Portion of the Inspection

1) The inspectors intend to focus the inspection on process exhaust ventilation systems in Building 301 and the 300 Complex. However, inspection focus areas may change as deemed necessary to meet the inspection procedure requirements. The inspectors will select a sample of credited safety controls (e.g., IROFS) in the selected process areas for review. Due to the sensitive nature of some the safety information related to those process areas, the IROFS will most likely be selected onsite. For the IROFS to be selected for review, the inspectors will need the items below.

a. Plant procedures showing the specific operation and implementation of the IROFS. For example, operating procedures showing the implementation of administrative controls or the operation of active engineered controls.

b. Procedures and recent records of management measures performed to demonstrate availability and reliability of the IROFS. For example, recent records of testing, inspection, calibration, and preventive maintenance performed on the selected IROFS.

c. Procedures and records showing that training requirements for the selected IROFS have been maintained

d. Complete configuration management package for recent changes affecting the selected IROFS

2) The inspectors will need site support to conduct plant tours and observe ongoing operations in the control room (if applicable) and other production areas.

3) The inspectors will need site support to coordinate interviews with plant operators.

4) The inspectors will need site support to attend the plan of the day meetings.

5) Please keep inspectors informed of plant operations on a daily basis.

6) Please inform the inspectors of any updates to the operational safety program that have occurred since this document request was issued.
