PLANT STATUS During the inspection period, routine fuel manufacturing operations and maintenance activities were conducted in the fuel processing areas, the Uranium Recovery (UR) facility, and the Research and Test Reactors (RTR) facility.
INSPECTION SCOPES Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Inspections were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2600, Fuel Cycle Facility Operational Safety and Safeguards Inspection Program. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
SAFETY OPERATIONS 88020 - Operational Safety The inspectors evaluated selected aspects of the licensees operational safety program to verify compliance with selected portions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 70, "Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material," including 70.61, 70.62; Chapter 11, Management Measures, of the facilitys license application; and applicable licensee procedures.
Identification of Safety Controls and Related Programs (IP Section 02.01)
The inspectors selected specific process areas for inspection based on the safety basis information of the facility, the risk/safety significance of the process areas, the description of plant changes submitted to the NRC, and past plant performance documentation. For the process areas of interest, the inspectors selected a sample of accident sequences in nuclear criticality safety (NCS), radiation safety, fire safety, and/or chemical safety based on the information provided in the integrated safety analysis (ISA) summary. The inspectors conducted a general plant tour of each major plant operating area. The process areas selected for review are listed below:
low-level dissolution (LLD) process recovery furnace system the inspectors also observed other ongoing processing and maintenance activities in UR Review of Safety Controls and Related Programs (IP Section 02.02)
The inspectors reviewed information related to administrative, active engineered, and passive safety controls or items relied on for safety (IROFS) for the areas selected above, including the identification of the licensees assumptions and bounding cases as they apply to each of the selected accident sequences, safety controls, or IROFS. This review was 3
performed to verify that the controls or IROFS were available and reliable to perform their intended safety functions and that the design basis assumptions were reflected in the actual conditions in the field. The specific safety controls selected for review are listed below:

For the selected safety controls listed above, the inspectors reviewed management measures to verify proper implementation in accordance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application. This review was performed to verify that selected safety controls or IROFS were present, available, and reliable to perform their safety function and that the design basis assumptions were reflected in the actual conditions in the field. The inspectors conducted the following activities to verify the implementation of selected safety controls:
walked down various passive engineered IROFS features identified in drawing UPRR 30129 to verify implementation of IROFS for the UR furnace system reviewed operating procedures (e.g., OP-0061450, OP-0061556) and interviewed operators for IROFS applied to the recovery furnace system reviewed NCS postings 15-25-002 and 15-25-003 for administrative IROFS applied to the recovery furnace system observed operators performing the mass/moderator measurements, calculations and logs when adding or removing material from gloveboxes walked down the LLD system to verify the as-built state of the IROFS matched system drawing UPRR 30060 reviewed LLD system operating procedures and interviewed and observed system operator's implementation of administrative IROFS observed operators perform mass calculations for each batch of material being processed in the LLD system Safety Control Support Programs (IP Section 02.04)
