4
- violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of i Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violations are listed below.
Technical Safety Requirement 2.4.4.4 requires, in part, that moderation control be 1.
- maintained when deposits of UO 2F, [ uranyl oxyfluoride) in a pipe or component listed in -
sTSR 2.4, Appendix A, are estimated to be greater than safe mass as determined by TSR 2.4, Appendix B, and the uranium assay is greater than 1.0 weight percent.
. Technical Safety Requirement 2.4, Appendix A, lists process gas coolers as applicable equipment. Technical Safety Requirement 2.4, Appendix B, identifies 264 pounds as the safe mass limit for deposits of 2.0 weight percent material.
1-
, Surveillance Requirement 2.4.4.4-1 requires, in part, that the curtificatee verify that -
coolant pressure is greater than the building RCW [ recirculating cooling water) pressure L each shift when a UO F, deposit greater than safe mass 9xists and the RCW is not l drained.
Contrary to the above, on March 12,1997, the certificatee had data indicating the n - presence of a UO2 F deposit in the Process Gas Cooler for the Number 1 Dual Speed - .
~
, Purge and Evacuation Pump in Building C 335 (operating at up to 2.0 weight percent) l ' which was over 600 pounds and exceeded the safe mass limit of 264 pounds,- but did not
, verify that coolant pressure was greater than the building RCW pressure each shift while j.
the RCW was not drained until January 15,1998.- On January 15,1998, the certificatee -
re-evaluated the mass of the deposit in the process gas cooler and determined that the
, deposit did exceed the safe mass for that location.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI). (VIO 70-7001/97014-01)
- 2. Technical Safety Requirement 3.112, requires, in part, that all operations involving uranium enriched to 1.0 weight percent or higher and 15 grams or more of uranium-235 be performed in accordance with a dooumonted nuclear criticality safety approval.

Control 18 of Nuclear Criticality Safety Approval GEN-15, "On-Site Generation, Handling, l Accumulation, Staging, Transportation, and Storage of Fissile or Potentially Fissile Waste i
Up to a Maximum of 5.5 Weight Percent Enrichment," approved September 12,1996, requires that portable containers used within an FCA [ Fissile Control Area) shall be
- - limited to a maximu,n size 5.5-gallon capacity unless approved otherwise by NCS
[ Nuclear Criticality Safety).
Contrary to the above, portable containers with capacities greater than 5.5 gallons were e used within Fissile Control Areas and not approved by Nuclear Criticality Safety in the following examples:
- A)- On November 25,1997, a portable laundry cart which had a capacity greater than 5.5 gallons was discovered in a Fissile Control Area in Building C-400; and 9002200104 990212 PDR ADOCK 07007001 C PDP re---e+ m- -- ,-o y-e -n-,w--+-ee -m, .,-y.---,-,- -,rm-,v , , , , - y -m im ~. - - ,e ,-- e,- ,,,- e

This is a Severity Level IV violation (supplement VI). (VIO 70-7001/97014-02)
- 3. L Technical Safety Requirement 3.11.2,' requires, in part, that all operations involving uranium enriched to 1.0 weight percent or higher and 15 grams or more of uranium-235 be based upon a documented nuclear criticality safety evaluation and performed in accordance with a documented nuclear criticality safety approval.
Contrary to the above, from March 3 until December 11,1997, the certificatee conducted
- operations involving unsafe volume drums for storing seal parts, contaminated with eranium enriched to greater than 1.0 weight percent in uranium-235, without a documented nuclear criticality safety evaluation or approval for the drums.
This is a Security Level IV violation (Supplement VI); (VIO 70-7001/97014-04)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 76.70, United States Enrichment Corporation is hereby -
