| Title | |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
The facility is in a safe and stable configuration. Additionally, the facility is not [and] has never been in a flooded state, and no accident has occurred. Urenco USA has stored three end-of-life uranium hexafluoride traps in the ventilated room on the first floor of the cylinder receipt and dispatch building (CRDB). These traps were previously installed in the system on the second floor of the process services corridor (PSC). While installed, these traps have been analyzed as safe for movement and interaction without any external controls. Flooding is not considered a credible event for the second floor of the PSC. However, these traps have been moved to the first floor of the CRDB for storage where flooding is a credible event. A first-floor condition of flooding with the traps has not been modeled in the nuclear criticality safety analysis (NCSA). The storage of traps in the first-floor ventilated room potentially falls outside of the normal operating conditions analyzed in NCSA and integrated safety analysis (ISA) related documentation and results in the facility being in a state that was different from analyzed in the ISA. Corrective actions have begun. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Personnel access to the area has been restricted pending completion of the evaluation. |
