2 PLANT STATUS
The Westinghouse facility converts uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into uranium dioxide using a wet conversion process and fabricated fuel assemblies for use in commercial nuclear power reactors. During the inspection period, normal production activities were ongoing.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Inspections were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2600, Fuel Cycle Facility Operational Safety and Safeguards Inspection Program. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
SAFETY OPERATIONS
88015 - Nuclear Criticality Safety
The inspectors evaluated selected aspects of the licensees Nuclear Criticality Safety program to verify compliance with selected portions of 10 CFR 70; including 70.24, 70.61, and 70.62; Chapter 6, "Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) Program" of the facilitys license application; and applicable licensee procedures.
Criticality Analysis (IP Section 02.01)
The inspectors interviewed licensee staff and reviewed nuclear criticality safety evaluations (CSEs), and supporting criticality safety calculations notes (CNs), to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application, including 6.1.1, 6.1.3.1, 6.1.3.2, 6.1.3.4, 6.1.3.5, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6. Specifically, the inspectors interviewed licensee staff and reviewed the following CSEs:
- CSE-1-K, "ADU Pellet Lines 1-5 Torit Ventilation Systems," Revision (Rev.) 9, including review of credible and non-credible accident sequences, including the basis for why certain sequences were considered non-credible, and items relied on for safety (IROFS) associated with the system

- CN-CRI-08-21, "Pelleting Fabricmax Torit," Rev. 1, which was reviewed because it contained a variety of calculations and information supporting the licensee's evaluation of criticality accident sequences in CSE-1-K
- CN-CRI-12-2, "Criticality Safety Calculations for Aqueous Waste Tanks," Rev.
0, which was reviewed because it contained a variety of calculations and information supporting the licensee's evaluation of criticality accident sequences in CSE-15-A
- CN-CRI-21-001-000, "Verification of Nuclear Criticality Safety Code Performance," Rev. 0
- CN-SB-11-35, "Criticality Accident Potential for Ammonium Diuranate (ADU)
Bulk Blending System," Rev. 2, which was reviewed because it contained the event trees supporting the licensee's evaluation of criticality accident sequences in CSE-5-A
- Additionally, the inspectors conducted walkdowns in the areas of these CSEs, and other areas of the plant (e.g., scrap cage)

INSPECTION RESULTS
Minor Violation 88072 Structural Support and Weld Modifications for the Hot Oil Expansion Tanks
Minor Violation: Inspectors identified one minor violation of 10 CFR 70.72 Facility Change and Change Process. On November 2023, NRC inspectors identified that hot oil expansion tank support beams located in the ceiling of the Conversion Area over the Hot Oil Room were not welded to the building structural steel in accordance with DWG. 651FO1STO1, Expansion Tank Support Detail. Unresolved Item (URI) 70-1151/2023-004-01, "Structural Support and Weld Modifications for the Hot Oil Expansion Tanks," was opened in inspection report 70-1151/2023-004 to track the licensee's review and evaluation of the identified issue.
Screening: The inspectors determined the violation was minor. Procedure, TA-500, Columbia Manufacturing Plant Configuration Control, Rev 27, implements the requirements for facility changes. Contrary to the above, the procedure failed to adequately provide
10 guidance on walkdown requirements for facility changes. Specifically, in November 2023, inspectors identified that hot oil expansion tank support beams located in the ceiling of the Conversion Area over the Hot Oil Room were not welded to the building structural steel in accordance with DWG. 651FO1STO1, Expansion Tank Support Detail. The initial modification and associated welding took place in 2013. Upon discovery, the licensee took immediate corrective actions to weld the beams in accordance with design DWG.
651FO1STO1. The licensee created work order Dispatch # 224891, and the hot oil expansion support beams were welded to the roof structural steel on December 23, 2023.
Inspectors determined the violation was minor and aligned most closely with Example 1d, using the screening criteria in Appendix B, Examples of Minor Violations in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0616. The issue was a minor violation because an internal evaluation showed that in an event of a single tank or double tank failure due to seismic or other severe events, there would be limited penetration of the tank into the Hot Oil Room concrete slab roof (IROFS - ADUHOS-906s function is to provide a 1.5 hour5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> fire barrier in the event of a fire) and localized cracking and deformation on the roof concrete structure. NRC inspectors reviewed Engineering Calculation Note GES-2500-CN-SSQ-000001, Impact of an Expansion Tank Fall on Floor Slab in the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility dated December 15, 2023, and determined the evaluation confirmed the barrier roof dike would continue to contain hot oil with no adverse nuclear or radiological safety impact on equipment and or personnel. Inspectors reviewed the licensee's extent of condition (LTR-EHS-24-43) dated August 12, 2024, and determined this was an isolated issue as no other similar tank configurations were identified on-site. The issue was entered into the licensee CAP as CR 2023-11929. URI 70-1151/2023-004-01, "Structural Support and Weld Modifications for the Hot Oil Expansion Tanks, is considered closed to this minor violation, with no further action needed.
Enforcement: This failure to comply with 10 CFR 70.72 Facility Change and Change Process" constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
