HIGHLIGHTS OF WEEKLY INFORMATION REPORT .

WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 6, 1987 FERMI-2 During calibration testing of feedwater (FW) flow on February 4,1987, the licensee discovered that the reactor was operating above the 200 percent power level at which plant operation is presently limited. The licensee has determined that this power excursion, which lasted several minutes, and peaked at 22.5 percent, occurred when a simulated FW flow signal irt the plant process computer isolated a flow ifmiter causing an increase in redirculation

, flow. Upon discovery, the simulated FW flow signal was removed and the power immediately dropped below 20 percent (to about 19.7 percent). A Deviation Event Report has been written by the licensee, and the requisite FW surveil-lance testing procedures are being reviewed.

River Bend Station _ p.

On Februaryy 3, 1987, the Texas Public Utility Commission granted a $39.9 million emergency rate relief to Gulf States Utilities (GSU).

In October, 1986 GSU informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that it would be unable to meet $65 million in interest and other payments by March 1987 and "may have to seek protection from its creditors under the backruptcy code" unless it received rate increases or external funding.

GSU's financial problems are tied to recovery of its investment in River Bend Station. GSU's service area includes central Louisiana and Eastern Texas. Prior to this rate action, neither Texas nor Louisiana rate making i-bodies had approved rate relief for River Bend. GSU has appealed to the Louisiana courts on emergency rate relief for River Bend. .

4 Access Authorization Policy Statement and Guidelines At the direction of the EDO, NMSS has sent a letter to the Chairman of the NUMARC Steering Committee requesting additional information concerning the use of temporary workers. The information is intended to assist NRC management in

resolving questions concerning screening requirements for unescorted access for temporary workers in situations other than cold shutdown.

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation, Gore, Oklahoma On February 3, 1987, representatives from Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC) and NMSS met to discuss issues related to the Sequoyah Facility license. During the meeting, a, presentation was made on the status of the facility since the withdrawal of the Confirmation of Action Letter which allowed SFC to resume production operations. The licensee also discussed environmental monitoring, license format, and the UF 6to UF amendment 4 request.

Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors Frank Young, OSP, attended the winter Executive Board meeting of the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD), held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, February 1-5, 1987. At this meeting, the Board reaffirmed its desire to have the Atomic Energy Act amended to provide I for regulation of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NARM) similar to that of byproduct material. The Board established a strategy committee that will work with NRC and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and expect to work through the National Governors' Association to seek such an amendment.

following status of this ongoing investigation.

Visualexaminationofthesuspectedsteamgenerator(No.1)revealedthatan 1

outer row tube was leaking at the level of the lowest (first) "eggcrate". Eddy 4

current testing of about 1000 tubes has revealed four other tubes with indications

(wall thinning) also in the' outer rows and at the level of the first or second eggerate. Approximately 3000 tubes will be eddy current tested in this steam generator. Eddy current testing is also underway in the other steam generator (No. 2). To date (1/30/87), four tubes with indications have been found out of i several hundred tubes tested. These are also in the outer rows at the first and second eggerate but rotated about 180 degrees from the other steam generator.

Approximately 3000 tubes will be tested in this steam generator.

Cause of the tube leakage and wall thinning is not yet known, but flow induced vibration is suspected. Palo Verde Unit 1 is still in its first cycle of operation. The licensee will keep us informed as the investigation progresses.

I Review of Severe Accident Research Programs Brookhaven National Laboratory has completed a series of meetings with four -

expert review groups to evaluate NRC's severe accident research programs'in the uncertainty areas identified in NUREG-0956, the Source Tem report.

Group 1 on in-vessel natural circulation, core melt progression and hydrogen generation, was chaired by Dr. Harry J. Teague, Deputy Director of i the UK Atomic Energy Authority's Safety and Reliability Directorate and Chairman of the OECD Senior Group of Experts on Severe Accidents. Group 2, on energetic events including direct containment heating, steam explosions, and hydrogen combustion, was chaired by Dr. Herbert J. Kouts Chaiman of

{ the Brookhaven National Labortory's Department of Nuclear Energy and fomer 2

Director of NRC's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. Group 3 on 4

ex-vessel core-concrete interactions, was chaired by Dr. Louis Baker, Jr.,

Senior Chemist at Argonne National Laboratory and co-author of the well

, known. Baker-Just correlation for metal-water reaction rates. Group 4 on j iodine chemical form and fission product revaporization, was chaired by

Dr. Clark Ice, a consultant who was fomerly with Savannah River Labortory and was a member of the American Physical Society Study Group on Source Terms. The series of review meetings was completed on January 29, 1987 and a final report will be issued by Brookhaven National Laboratory in March.

That report will provide technical conclusions on the adequacy of NRC's  ;

current research plans for resolving source tem uncertainties.

Plant Risk Status Information Management (PRISIM) System i

l On January 28, 1987, a demonstration of the Plant Risk Status Infomation Management (PRISIM) system was given at the Region V resident inspectors 1 meeting in Walnut Creek, California. ThePRISIMsystems(developedorbeing  ;

developed for the ANO-1, Peach Bottom 2 and Surry nuclear plants) have '

capabilities to identify and prioritize inspection activities based on their l risk significance. The PRISIM program objectives, background and status were discussed, the preprocessed PRISIM infomation base was displayed, and use of the interactive PRISIM plant risk model was demonstrated. The risk i' model quantifies the change in core damage frequency ccused when components I

important to safety are out-of-service. The demonstration was well-received

and considerable interest was indicated in the system and its capabilities by the resident inspectors in attendance.

2 NRC Employee Honored by Health Physics Society Robert E. Alexander, Chief of the NRC Safety Research Applications Branch in the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, has been elected President of the Health Physics Society, a professional society of more than 6,000 scientific personnel engaged in radiation protection and health effects activities throughout the US and abroad. His SRA Branch responsibilities include research and standards development in radiation protection and health effects. The HPS, founded in 1957, provides a comprehensive program for keeping its membership up to date, including formal courses, two technical meetings each year, monthly publication of a technical journal and a newsletter, and support for a certification program for health physicists conducted by American Board of Health Physics. The society is also active in the consensus standards development field; several ANSI standards developed by the HPS are used in the NRC regulatory program. A procram for HPS accreditation of NBS secondary calibration laboratories (for health physics instruments) is just starting.

Thus, the HPS is highly influential in all radiation protection and health effects aspects of NRC licensed activities and regulatory programs.

Mr. Alexander, who joined the AEC Regulatory staff in 1972, is the first HPS President to come from the AEC Regulatory or NRC staff.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, " Leakage Rate Testing of Containments of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants" On October 29, 1986, the NRC announced in the Federal Register that it is proposing to revise 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J " Leakage Rate Testing of Containments of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants." An invitation to coment was presented in the Federal Register with a public coment period to expire on January 26, 1987.

The Northeast Utilities requested a 2-month extension of the coment period, and the BWR Owners' Group and Boston Edison requested a 3-month extension.

These requests and similar expressions of desire were considered by the

staff, and it was agreed to extend the coment period to April 24, 1987.

The announcement to this effect appeared in the Federal Register on January 22, 1987.

II. SECY-86-366 - Final Rule on Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Loquing (New Part 39)

The Commission, by a 5-0** vote, approved a final order on specific radiation safety requirements related to the use of licensed materials in well logging, subject to the following:

1. Because of the very important role of training for worker safety in well logging, priority should be given to the development of the training manual for well loggers which is scheduled for publication mid-1987. The manual should be prepared using clear text and illustrations to serve as a ready reference on radiation safety issues for well loggers similar to the training manual prepared for industrial radiographers (NUREG/BR-0024).

n 2. Requirements for calibration of radiation survey instruments to an accuracy of +20 percent in 39.33 are inconsistent with accuracy requTrements in proposed Regulatory Guide OP-032-5 and other Division 8 Regulatory Guides. Although, the commission has no objection to the proposed requirement l

as it applies to well logging, it believes that calibration requirements for radiation survey instrumentation should be consistent in NRC regulations and guidance unless exceptions 3

4 are defined for specific applications.

3. In response to a public comment, the staff notes that NRC i regulations do not contain criteria for acceptable levels of residual contamination in soils. An OGC memo of October 29, 1986, on the subject rulemaking observes that this involves a broader agency problem. The Commission is aware that the staff is participating in an interagency task force headed by EPA to define limits of release for unre-stricted use. It is also aware of other NRC initiatives to define de minimus and levels below regulatory concern. As a broader issue the Commission asks that the EDO advise it as to how these activities are related and will result in consistent release limits for all NRC licensed activities.

i This rulemaking should not be held up for this response as  ;

it involves a broader agency issue.

! 4. The regulatory guide should specify qualifications of

individuals performing training and testing. They should  ;

be experienced logging supervisors.

5. The changes on the attached mark-up should be incorporated.

The rule should be modified as noted and returned for signature i and publication in the Federal Register.

Chairman Zech would have preferred to include a requirement for l

i 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of formal training in the rule rather than address the

licensee:

! - C. Reed, Vice President i Commonwealth Edison Company l - R. Querio, Byron Station Manager FEBRUARY 6, 1987 ENCLOSURE O

The Commission, by a vote of 5-0, authorized the staff (after appropriate findings of the utility's readiness) to issue a full power operating license to Commonwealth Edison for Byron Unit 2.

(Subsequently, on January 30, 1987, the Director of NRR issued the full power operating license for Byron Unit 2.)

The staff committed to submit to the Commission an assessment of fines levied to all utilities in Region III.

Commissioner Asselstine provided the general comment that generic conclusions resulting from owners group reviews do not appear to be acted upon on a timely basis by the owners. He suggested the staff review how to expedite closure of such cases. Commissioner Asselstine also requested the staff to readdress the licensee's overall performance when , recommending a full power operating license for Braidwood.
