| -Status of Previously Identified Items-Quality Assurance / Quality Control-Package Selection-Shipment of Radioactive Materials 3.0 Status of Previously Identified Items (Closed) Violations (50-293/84-13-01): Failure to have three procedures reviewed and approved as required by technical specification The licensee reviewed and approved the three contractor procedures related to waste processing in 1984. Subsequent review by the licensee's QA group and a consultant audit in 1984 and 1985, respectively, identified addi-tional contractor procedures that had not been approved. The inspector noted the licensee's QA process resolved the licensee's internal dispute concerning the requirement to have contractor procedures approval. To date, all radioactive waste processing and transportation procedures have been reviewed and approve .

The inspector determined the licensee painted the Seatrain containers to prevent rusting and to ensure radioactive waste would be packaged in strong tight packages. The licensee also implemented a procedure for loading Seatrain containers which required inspection of the container during receipt and prior to shipmen In addition, the licensee's QC group increased its surveillance of strong tight package waste shipment .0 Quality Assurance / Quality Control The provisions of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H require the establishment of a QA program for the packaging and transportation of radioactive materials. A Commission approved QA program which satisfies the applicable criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and which is established, maintained and executed with regard to transport packages is acceptable to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 71, Suopart H. The licensee elected to apply their currently established 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, QA program to the packaging and shipment of radioactive material The Itcensee's performance relative to this criteria was determined from

| 4.1 Radwaste Generator QC Program The licensee's performance in the conduct of a QC program under 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3) was determined by review of procedures for preparing radwaste shipments, examination of radwaste and QC sign-offs related to shipments of dewatered resins and review of QA audits which performed independent determinations of waste classification under 10 CFR 61.5 Within the scope of this review, the following violation was iden-tified:
| | .. |
| 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3), " Transfer for disposal and manifests" requires a licensee who transfers radioactive waste to a land disposal facility to conduct a quality control program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 61.5 The licensee had transferred several dewatered radioactive waste shipments to a land disposal facility during 1984 and 1985 and the licensee had not conducted a quality control program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 61.56, inasmuch as the licensee had not verified that spent resin contained less than 1% liquid by volume when the resin was in a disposal container (high integrity container) ,
| | Mr. Thomas T. Martin, Director - |
| designed to ensure stabilit The inspector noted as of April, 1985, the licensee did institute a QC check-off that ensured the acceptance criteria was documented for the applicable radwaste shipments, however, QC verification of the dewatering process by QC staff or QC designated radwaste staff had not been performe Failure to conduct a quality control program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 61.56 represents a violation of 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3).

| | Very truly yours, |
| Selected surveillance reports for 198 Within the scope of this review, the following was noted:
| | * |
| The inspector noted that the QC organization generally verified the completeness of the shipping papers and adherence to packaging requirements and related procedures. However, the inspector noted that the QC representative did not independently verify the accuracy of the shipping papers. The inspector also noted that peer review by qualified members of the Waste Management group to ensure accurate information was not routinely completed. Problems related to this lack of review are discussed in paragraph 6.0 of this repor .3 Audits The licensee's program for audits of radwaste preparation, classi-fication, transport packages and shipping activities was reviewe Audits were conducted by a qualified QA auditor and supported by qualified technical specialist, as necessary. The inspector reviewed the following audits and surveillances for 1984, 1985 and 198 *

| Surveillances 85-9.5-13 (September, 1985), and 86-2.1-3 (March,1986).
| |
|
| |
|
| The audits and surveillances were performed to verify the station's implementation of 10 CFR 20, 61, 71 and 49 CFR requirements and to applicable criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B were being implemente Within the scope of this review, the following concern was noted:
| | . |
| The inspector noted that audit deficiencies had been reviewed and evaluated by licensee management. However, one finding was repeti-tious and had not been resolved. Audit 85-6, DR 1376 identified that transport packages and services were being procured and utilized from a vendor without a current purchase orde The revised purchase order was issued on July 25, 1985, to expire on December 31, 198 Surveillance 86-2.1-3, DR 1509, conducted March 11, 1986, identified the same violation of 10 CFR 71.10 The licensee stated they had instituted a document control system to prevent this problem as well as ensuring site personnel expedite the purchase order process. The licensee stated this deficiency would be resolved. In addition, the licensee stated they would determine if other services requiring adequate quality were being provided without a current purchase order. This item will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection (293/86-10-02).

|
| |
|
| .
| | Contrary to the above, on January 23, 1985, July 9, 1985, and August 2, |
| 5.0 Package Selection The licensee's program for selection of packages was examined against the requirements of 10 CFR 71.87 and within the framework of the D0T require-ments of 49 CFR Part 17 For dry radioactive waste, the licensee used steel boxes or Seatrain containers, as strong tight containers. Dewatered resins and radioactive material shipments, such as irradiated reactor components, requiring the use of an NRC Certified package (outer container) were made in vendor supplied casks. Copies of the Certificate of Compliance including draw-ings were available for all Type A and Type B casks in us Within the scope of this review, the following issue was identified:
| | ' |
| * The inspector noted that the licensee had made radicactive waste shipments in an approved package (Certificate of Compliance 9079),
| | 1985, radiation surveys of packaged irradiated reactor components were not documented on appropriate radiation survey forms and maps; the maximum ' |
| but was shipped as package model 14-170. Model 14-170 currently is not approved by C of C 907 The licensee stated they would discuss this labeling conflict with their vendo The inspector stated this item would be reviewed during a sub-sequent inspection, and any subsequent shipment as package model would be considered an apparent violation of a condition of the C of C until Cask 14-170 is approved by the NRC (293/86-10-03).
| | radiation level at the surface of the package was incorrect for shipment numbers 85-06 and 85-66' and the total radioactivity contained within shipment number 85-79 was incorrectly listed during transport. |
|
| |
|
| 6.0 Shipment of Radioactive Materials The transportation of licensed material was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 71, " Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, " 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3), " Transfer for disposal and manifests,"
| | BOSTON EDISON COMPANY RESPONSE Boston Edison agrees with the violation. As corrective action to correct the condition, the incorrect entry associated with shipment number 85-79 (being a self-identified deficiency) was corrected on August 5, 1986. |
| and 10 CFR 61.55, " Waste Classification," and 10 CFR 61.56, " Waste Char-acteristics "
| |
| The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined by the following a
| |
| discussion with the Assistant CRE-Radwaste and his staff;
| |
| *
| |
| review of fifteen shipping manifests and related documents from 1985 and 1986;
| |

|
| |
|

- NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION (86-10-04)
Technical Specification 6.8 requires that written procedures and administrative policies be established, implemented and maintained, that l
meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Appendix ' A' of
. Regulatory Guide 1.33, 1972. Station approved Procedure 1.3.4,
" Procedures", requires in Section III.A that approved written procedures i be adhered to by all station personnel. Procedure PNPS-6.9-160, Revision
'
20 specifies in part, (1) to survey material to be packaged and to document the survey results on appropriate radiation level at the surface
- of the package, and the total activity within the package on the shipping manifest.
Contrary to the above, on January 23, 1985, July 9, 1985, and August 2,
'
1985, radiation surveys of packaged irradiated reactor components were not documented on appropriate radiation survey forms and maps; the maximum '
radiation level at the surface of the package was incorrect for shipment numbers 85-06 and 85-66' and the total radioactivity contained within shipment number 85-79 was incorrectly listed during transport.
BOSTON EDISON COMPANY RESPONSE Boston Edison agrees with the violation. As corrective action to correct the condition, the incorrect entry associated with shipment number 85-79 (being a self-identified deficiency) was corrected on August 5, 1986.
As corrective action to preclude recurrence, an increased emphasis has ,
been placed on the quality of surveys (as discussed and reinforced at the
daily meetings with technicians). It is planned to use this particular
'
violation as a " lesson learned" example in the training which we provide
! to health physics technicians.
l As further corrective action to preclude recurrence, technicians are now assigned to shipment-related functions for a longer period of time. This longer assignment will result in an increased familiarity with the procedures and paperwork involved in the radwaste shipping process.
i
'
The combination of the above actions has already, and will continue, to result in higher quality records from both a content and a consistency 1 viewpoint.
Full compliance was achieved on August 5, 1985, the date upon which the paperwork related to shipment number 85-79 was corrected.

As an added note, we would like to correct part of the basis of the subject violation which states that ...
" procedure PNPS-6.9-160, Revision 20 specifies in part, (1)
to survey material to be packaged and to document the survey results on appropriate radiation survey forms and maps, and (2) to document the maximum radiation level at the surface of the package, and the total activity within the package on the shipping manifest."
Procedure 6.9-160 does not contain the above statement, although it is our policy to document survey results in an appropriate manner.
NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION (86-10-01)
10 CFR 20.311(d)(3), " Transfer for disposal and manifests" requires licensees who transfer radioactive waste to a land disposal facility to conduct a quality control program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 61.56.
'
l Contrary to the above, the licensee had transferred Several radioactive waste shipments composed of dewatered resins and diatomaceous earth absorbers to a land disposal facility during 1984 and 1985 and the licensee had not conducted a quality control program to assure that the packages did not contain free standing liquid greater than 1% of the waste volume, and that the waste was structurally stable for compliance with 10 CFR 61.56.
BOSTON EDISON COMPANY RESPONSE Boston Edison agrees with the violation. As corrective step: to correct the condition and to preclude recurrence, we have taken the following actions. First, the Quality Control Instruction (QCI 19.01) has been revised to require a yearly surveillance inspection of the dewatering processes used at PNPS. The revised instruction was issued on May 1, 1986. Secondly, the on-site Q.C. Group will now conduct surveillance inspections of container loading, dewatering, and shipping preparation activities.
The above corrective steps will ensure that Boston Edison's radioactive waste handling activities are done in compliance with 10 CFR 61.56. Full compliance was reached on May 1, 1986, the date upon which the yearly surveillance inspection requirement was incorporated.
