Between 1979 and 1985, approximately 960 t … Between 1979 and 1985, approximately 960 thin-walled cylinders were obtained by Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP), transferred to Allied Chemical, and filled with near-normal assay material as part of a strategic feed reserve. These cylinders were transferred to Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP) for storage. They were shipped back to PGDP beginning in the early 1990s. All but three of these cylinders have been fed. In early 2003, the Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluation (NCSE) was revised to evaluate the washing of the heeled cylinders.</br>At 1457 hours on 3/11/2008, the Plant Shift Superintendent was notified that two non-fissile cylinders were identified in the ORGDP strategic reserve category that had a weight change while stored at ORGDP in violation of the NCSE for the C-400 cylinder wash operation. One leg of double contingency is based on it being unlikely that cylinders in this category would be introduced into the process while stored at ORGDP. The weight change indicated that these cylinders were introduced into the process at ORGDP. The other leg of double contingency is based on two individuals independently verifying that the cylinder had no weight change while it was stored at ORGDP. This control was not violated. The NCSE concern associated with these cylinders entering the process is the potential to introduce fissile material into the cylinder while stored at ORGDP and subsequent washing at the non-fissile C-400 cylinder wash.
