Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation ATTN: Mr. C. W. Malody, Manager Corporate Licensing 2101 Horn Rapids Road Richland, Washington 99352 Gentlemen:
1 The presence of hydrocarbons in UF, cylinders and UF, process systems is of serious concern to the U.S. NucleaF Regulatory Commission (NRC) since the reaction of UF, with hydrocarbons, even in small quantities, may be quite vigorous and cNn result in serious explosions. The Department of Energy (DOE) is also concerned about the presence of hydrocarbons in licensee's cylinders because the cylinders may be emptied or filled at the DOE enrichment plants.
Because of these concerns, you are requested to provide an assessment of your controls which prevent or detect the introduction of hydrocarbons into the cylinders and the UFgsystems during processing and transport. The assessment should cover procurement, recertification, and maintenance of cylinders; the UFg process systems, including cold traps if used, for filling or emptying cyTinders; and seals on either full or " empty" cylinders during transport and storage.
Unless the above identified controls exist in your lict nse, the assessment should be presented in the form of a license amendment application. The application should be in two parts - proposed controls as license conditions, and a safety demonstration showing the adequacy of the controls. The proposed conditions should be formatted as revised pages for insertion into the referenced section of license conditions in your current license. Your response is requested within 45 days from the date of this letter.
Enclosed is a 1983 DOE Safety Alert which provides some information and '
guidance on isolating hydrocarbons and UF, process systems. OR0-651, Revision 4, " Uranium Hexafluoride: Hand 1Yng Procedures and Container Criteria," U.S. ERDA, April 1977, is currently under revision by DOE.
Revision 5 should be available soon.
