Documentation Requested for Operational Safety Inspection
- 1. The inspector has selected the following Accident Sequences and Plant Features and Procedures (PFAPs). Unless otherwise specified, the documents requested in section 2 are specific to the Accident Sequences and PFAPS listed below.
DI-6: Potential UF6 release due to the drop of a filled UF6 cylinder Associated PFAPs: 84, 85, 86, 88 DI-7: Potential UF6 release due to overpressure failure resulting from the blockage of flow out of the cylinder Associated PFAPs: 82, 83, 87, 88, 90 DI-8: Potential UF6 release due to the overpressure failure of a UF6 product cylinder due to heating a previously overfilled cylinder that was filled at another facility or filled at MTW before November 7,2007 Associated PFAPs: 77, 78, 79, 88, 93
- 2. Please provide the following items below:
- a. Current operational procedures, as applicable, showing the specific operation and implementation of the PFAPs.
- b. Completed maintenance records (for the past year) for the PFAPs above, as applicable. For example, recent records of testing, inspection, calibration, and preventive maintenance performed on the selected PFAPs.
- c. Operator training records showing training requirements for operators and maintenance staff, as applicable, for the focus areas (PFAPs/accident sequences) and a list of qualified operators with supporting documentation.
- d. Boundary definition documents, hazard analyses, and ISA meeting minutes for the selected bounding accident sequences.
- e. As applicable, complete configuration management package for recent changes affecting the selected PFAPs, including modifications to existing controls, elimination of previous controls, and addition of new controls. (e.g., include older version of implementing procedures).
- f. For Passive Engineering Controlled PFAPs, please provide plant drawings and any Post Maintenance Testing that implemented the PFAPs.
- 3. Documents governing the implementation of the following management measures, as applicable, for Plant Features and Procedures (PFAPs):
- Configuration Management
- Maintenance
- Training and Qualifications
- Procedures Development and Implementation
- Audits and Assessments
- Incident Investigations and Corrective Actions

- 5. List of corrective action program entries created in the last 12 months related to operational safety.
- 6. List of changes in the Operations Safety organization in the last 12 months (or since the last OPS inspection) that were subject to the position-specific requirements of the license application.
- 7. List of temporary compensatory measures put in place in the last 12 months (or since the last OPS inspection) to support degraded or failed PFAPs. Please include a brief description of the compensatory measure, if practical.
- 8. List of events identified in the last 12 months (or since the last OPS inspection) that identified degraded or failed PFAPs in the focus areas. If no examples exist for the focus areas, then provide a list of any degraded or failed PFAPs. Please identify the
PFAPs function, duration of the degradation or failure, and when it was returned to service.
- 9. If applicable, any audits/assessments of operational safety and the configuration management system within the last year or dating back to the last OPS inspection for operational safety.
Documents/Support Requested when On-site for Inspection
- 1. The inspector will need site support to conduct plant tours (of applicable systems) and observe on-going operations and functional testing with the system engineer(s).
- 2. The inspector will need site support to coordinate interviews with plant operators, as applicable.
- 3. Please keep the inspector informed of PFAP surveillance, maintenance, calibrations, functional tests, and other significant site activities and plant operations during the inspection.
