Inspection Summary:

I_nspection on April 28 - May 1, 1987 (Report

Nos. 50-317/87-11 and 50-318/87-12).

' Areas Inspected:

Routine, unannounced inspection of nuclear material control

and accounting, including:

organization and operation; shipping and receiving;

-

storage and internal control; inventory; records and reports; and management of

materials control system.

Results:

The licensee's procedures for the control of special nuclear material

f

(SNM), in some cases, lacked specificity.

Records and reports, in itost instances,

were complete, maintained, and available, except for the following:

the licensee

failed to keep records to support that physical inventories of SNM required at

twelve month intervals were conducted between April 3,1981 and March 30, 1985

(except for an inventory conducted on February 20,1983), as required by 10 CFR 70.51(b)(1) and (3).

2.

Nuclear Material Control and Accounting

a.

Organization and Operation

The procedures for the control and accounting of special nuclear

material (SNM) and written statements of responsibility for SNM were

included in the licensee's Special Nuclear Material Accounting

Procedure CC1-507D, dated February 14, 1986.

As described in the

following paragraphs the inspector found that the procedures lacked

the specificity required to ensure proper control and accounting of

SNM, at all times,

b.

Shipping and Receiving

The inspector determined through review that the procedures for

shipping and receiving were properly established, maintained, and

implemented to assure that all SNM shipped and received was

accurately accounted for.

A review was performed of all DOE /NRC Form-741's generated during

the period October 1, 1981 - March 31, 1987 to determine proper

signature, timely dispatch, and accuracy of data.

No discrepancies

were noted.

c.

Storage and Internal Control

The licensee was maintaining Item Control Areas that included the

reactor vessel, spent fuel storage pool, new fuel storage, and other

areas that were appropriate for SNM contained in other than fuel.

l

l

.

' The inspector found that the licensee was documenting all SNM

-

j

movement on an internal SNM transfer form.

However, the licensee was

transferring fuel bundles, fission chambers, neutron sources, and

bcronometer sources between the Calvert Cliffs Unit I reporting

{

identification symbol (RIS: XCL) and the Calvert Cliffs Unit 2

l

reporting identification symbol (RIS: XBL), without completing and

submitting a Nuclear Material Transaction Report (D0E/NRC Form-741).

The need to complete and submit a DOE /NRC Form-741 to document all

SNM transfers between locations or operations that have been assigned

,

discrete reporting identification symbols (RIS's) apparently was not

fully understood by the licensee.

The licensee committed to modify its SNM accounting procedure,

CCI-5070, by July 1, 1987 to clarify this matter.

d.

Inventory

The inspector reviewed supporting records which reconciled t!.e

quantity of SNM possessed as of March 31, 1987.

The licensee SNM

inventory consisted of:

1.

217 Fuel Assemblies - Reactor Core Unit 1

2.

217 Fuel Assemblies - Reactor Core Unit 2

3.

620 Fuel Assemblies - North Spent Fuel Pool

4.

519 Fuel Assemblies - South Spent Fuel Pool

5,

20 Wide Range Fission Chambers

6.

4 Neutron Startup Sources

7.

2 Boronometer Sources

The inspector performed an inventory verification on April 30, 1987,

which consisted of a comparison of the fuel location history card

file to the core loading and spent fuel pool storage map.

The

results of this verification indicated that the North Spent Fuel Pool

storage map did not agree with the fuel location history card file

for several bundles. When the licensee was advised of this fact, the

inspector was informed, and confirmed, that the discrepancies had

been identified a few months ago and that the licensee was in the

process of correcting them.

The licensee committed to accomplish

this action by July 1, 1987.

On April 29, 1987, the inspector found that the licensee could not

provide evidence, i.e., records showing the inventory of SNM, including

location, to support the fact that physical inventories were conducted

every twelve months between April 3, 1981 and March 30, 1985, as

required by 10 CFR 70.51(d), except for a physical invetry completed

on February 20, 1983. That inventory was supported by inventory

records that included the physical location of the SNU. Such records

I

'

.

!

are required by 10 CFR 70.51(b)(1) and (3).

Failure to comply with

10 CFR 70.51(b)(1) and (3) is an apparent violation of NRC require-

ments (50-317/87-11-03 and 50-318/87-12-03).

e.

Records and Reports

The inspector reviewed the licensee's records and source data and all

Material . Balance Reports (DOE /NRC Form -742) submitted during the

period October 1,1981 - March 31,1987-. Total uranium and

U-235 fission, transmutation and plutonium production and decay

records were also reviewed.

No discrepancies were noted.

Exhibits I, II and III of this report summarize the licensee's

nuclear material activities for the period October 1,1981 -

March 31, 1987.

,

f.

Management of Materials Control System

The inspector found that the licensee's management system for the

revision, implementation, and enforcement of nuclear material control

and accounting procedures was generally weak. This was indicated by:

not maintaining records to support the conduct and results ' f annual

o

physical inventories; not fully understanding the requirement for

completion and submittal of a Nuclear Material Transaction Report

(DOE /NRC Form-741) whenever SNM was transferred between discrete

reporting identification symbols (RISs); and the inconsistencies in

the location area of fuel bundles in the North Spent Fuel Pool when

compared to the lccation area shown on the fuel location history card

file.

The licensee stated that its procedures would be revised to

correct these deficiencies by July 1, 1987.

.

3.

Exit Interview

The inspector met with the licensee representatives indicated in

paragraph I at the completion of the inspection on May 1, 1987, and

summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.

No written material was provided to the licensee by the inspector during

the inspection.
