1997 Regulatory Information Conference

The Ninth NRC Regulatory Information Conference was held on April 1-2, 1997, at The Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., with over 800 registered participants. Of the registered individuals who attended the conference, 40 percent represented nuclear utilities; 36 percent represented private companies associated with the nuclear power industry, including manufacturers, architect/engineers, vendors, law firms, and consultants; and 13 percent represented other government agencies, national laboratories, research organizations, and foreign organizations representing Canada, England, France, Spain, Japan, Korea, and Sweden. Forty-five utilities were represented, including 251 representatives from senior management.

Status of Review of Licensee Responses to 50.54(f) Request on Design Bases

Phases 1 and 2 of the process for reviewing licensee responses to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) request for information on design bases are complete. In addition, the Regions and NRR have completed the initial effort for Phase 3 with a presentation of the results of the reviews at their respective Plant Performance Review/10 CFR 50.54(f) Assessment meetings.

On April 9, 1997, Region I management discussed the results of their reviews at the Senior Management Meeting screening meeting for Region I plants. The Senior Management Meeting screening meetings for Region II, III and IV plants are scheduled for the week of April 14, 1997. Phase 3 will culminate in May 1997 with a status report to the Commission on the results of the initial reviews of the responses, identification of insights gained to date, and the recommendations for Phase 4 of the initiative.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2

On April 7, 1997, Allegheny Power System, Inc. and DQE, Inc., parent company of Duquesne Light Company (licensee for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2), announced a $10.6 billion dollar agreement to merge the two companies. The new company, Allegheny Energy, would have approximately 8600 employees and generating capacity of 11,000 megawatts. Allegheny Energy's generation assets would primarily be coal fired stations. As part owner of Beaver Valley Unit Nos. 1 and 2 and Perry Nuclear Generating Station, nuclear power owned by the new company would account for approximately 6 percent (662 megawatts) of total generation capacity for the new company. The merger has been unanimously approved by both companies' Boards of Directors. Shareholder and regulatory approval are scheduled within the next 12 to 18 months.

Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Units 1 and 2

Susquehanna Unit 1 is currently at 100% power. Unit 2 is in CONDITION 5, refueling. On March 9, 1997, the staff approved an exigent amendment to the Technical Specifications for Unit 2 which will permit the utility to load new ATRIUM-10 fuel into the reactor core and will restrict the plant from restarting and operation. This restriction will exist until another amendment is issued to approve the use of the Siemens Power Corporation (SPC) ATRIUM fuel under all plant CONDITIONS. This amendment, submitted in December of 1996, is still under review by the Reactor Systems staff with support from BNL. There is a strong potential that the review process will delay the planned restart of the reactor because of yet to be resolved technical concerns which need to be resolved with SPC. The licensee indicated that based on completion of outage milestones, that it could have restarted as early as April 18th. Our current best estimate for amendment issuance with accelerated review is mid-May.

Maine Yankee

On April 3, 1997, the staff met with the licensee at the site to discuss the Maine Yankee Restart Readiness Plan (RRP) which the licensee submitted on March 7, 1997. Later the same day, the staff met with the public to receive comments on the Maine Yankee RRP. Ten members of the public signed up to speak. After they had spoken, the staff received comments from the floor. The meeting lasted about 2½ hours. The Maine Yankee Assessment Panel will meet in Region I on April 22 to complete the development of the staff's plan for assessing restart readiness of Maine Yankee.

In an open enforcement conference on March 11, 1997, the licensee identified two root causes of its identified weaknesses in addition to those identified by the Independent Safety Assessment Team (ISAT). The additional root causes were distributed ownership of programs and a non-intrusive quality assurance (QA) function.

To address weaknesses in the QA function, Maine Yankee has replaced the QPD manager and is significantly enhancing QPD staffing (29 positions in quality control and 19 in quality assurance). The goals of the new QPD manager include focus on compliance verification, de-emphasis of customer/supplier relationship, increased QPD management oversight, and more real-time analysis of observations. Historically, Maine Yankee's Quality Programs Department (QPD) has consisted of one department manager, one section head and 3-5 staff.

To address weaknesses in program ownership, the licensee's RRP includes conduct of Plant Program Readiness Assessments (PPRAs) to evaluate the adequacy of plant programs for restart. These assessments are conducted by the department assigned ownership for the programs and reviewed by the Non-Hardware Subcommittee (NHS). The staff observed the NHS meeting on Friday, April 4, 1997. While the licensee has made progress in defining program ownership, it was evident that some of the 200⁺ identified programs are still being assigned owners. The NHS exhibited a sound questioning attitude. Initial PPRAs are due to the NHS within the next few weeks. Final assessments are due in June to support the licensee's projected mid-July restart.

In addition to the above actions, and as part of their "extent of conditions" review, the licensee is conducting departmental assessments. Also, safety system reviews and addition of 25 system engineers are planned prior to restart. Design basis documentation of certain safety systems as committed to in the licensee's design basis 50.54(f) response will continue post-restart.

NRR and Region staff will visit the site during the week of April 14, to focus on outage management, restart committee meetings and major engineering issues.

Prairie Island Units 1 and 2

Northern States Power Company continues to monitor the spring flood outlook based on reports from the National Weather Service to determine the impact on Prairie Island Units 1 and 2. Due to recent precipitation in the region, the National Weather Service has increased the forecasted crest level from an elevation of 684.8 to 687.7 feet. The crest date is estimated to occur sometime between April 12 and April 18, 1997. Plant grade level is at the 694 foot elevation. The Notice of Unusual Event level is at the 686 foot elevation and unit shutdown is required at the 692 foot elevation. Access to the plant is limited to a single 2-lane road which has recently been raised to an elevation of 690 feet in anticipation of the spring flooding. Ongoing activities and preparations by the licensee include increased surveillance around the plant, the shutdown of two cooling towers, a hold on the release of radioactive liquid effluent, and securing alternate transportation (pontoon boats and busses). In addition, if the Notice of Unusual Event level (686' elv.) is reached, the licensee will keep additional staff onsite.

Meeting with Secretary of Puerto Rico Department of Health

On April 3, 1997, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff from Region II and the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards met with the Secretary of the Puerto Rico Department of Health (the Secretary). Also attending were the Head of the Department of Opthamology for the University of Puerto Rico, the Counsel to the Secretary, and the Head of the Puerto Rico Department of Radiation Protection. The meeting was held to discuss medical follow-up of multiple individuals who had been the subjects of misadministrations in receiving treatment from a Sr-90 eye applicator. All parties agreed that medical follow-up was appropriate for those who had been over-exposed. The Secretary agreed to send a letter to each of the over-exposed individuals. These letters will: (1) notify each that they have been the subject of a misadministration; (2) inform them of the potential medical complications; and (3) provide the Secretary's advice that they seek follow-up medical review. The Secretary agreed to send the letters to these individuals on an annual basis. Region II will provide the Secretary with the names of the over-exposed individuals and a draft letter. Region II is also working with the Puerto Rico Department of Health to ensure that all individuals are notified of misadministrations, whether they are over- or under-exposed.

Commercial Space Launches and Activities

On April 3, 1997, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff from the Office of the General Counsel, the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, Region IV and the Walnut Creek Field Office met with representatives and legal counsel from Lockheed Martin and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to discuss licensing issues concerning commercial space launches and activities. During the meeting, it was confirmed that, in accordance with the Commercial Space Launch Act, DOT has licensing authority over commercial space launches and launch preparations, while NRC's authority over such licensed commercial space launches covers possession and use of radioactive materials prior to the launch.

Based on the outcome of the meeting, the staff will consider amending the Lockheed Martin license to include authorization for the installation of byproduct material onto the launch vehicles. Further discussions with DOT will clearly determine DOT and NRC licensing jurisdiction concerning other space launch activities.

Sealed Source and Device Safety Evaluation Workshop

On April 7-11, 1997, the Sealed Source Safety Section, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, held a workshop on Sealed Source and Device (SS&D) Safety Evaluations. Participants included 20 representatives from the Agreement States, and three members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of State Programs.

Workshop topics included: requirements and related reviews for safety evaluations, blueprint reading, general engineering principles associated with sources/devices, applicable ANSI and ISO standards, incidents and related analyses relative to sealed sources and devices, and the importance of "lessons learned" in the safety evaluation process.

Public Meeting Concerning Molycorp, Inc., Washington, Pennsylvania

On April 3, 1997, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and Region I staff attended a public meeting in Canton Township, Pennsylvania, to address public concerns regarding decommissioning-related activities proposed at the Molycorp, Inc., Washington, Pennsylvania, Site Decommissioning Management Plan site. The meeting was moderated by the Township Supervisors. Approximately 75 people attended, including a member of U.S. Congressman Mascara's staff. The meeting began with presentations by NRC staff followed by a question and answer period. The principal concerns were: (1) temporary storage of waste resulting from the licensee's cleanup of an adjacent property; (2) the licensee's proposal to store decommissioning waste from its York, Pennsylvania, facility at the Washington site; (3) the licensee's proposal to dispose of decommissioning waste on site at the Washington facility; and (4) off site contamination/exposure. Region I inspected the stored waste in October 1996 and no violations were found. However, the public has a continuing concern that the waste from the cleanup of the adjacent property is located near a creek. NMSS staff is reviewing this concern. The staff is also in the process of preparing an environmental assessment associated with the licensee's proposal to store the York waste at the Washington facility. NMSS staff described the proposal and informed the public of the status of its review. The licensee plans to submit an environmental report (ER) in support of their request to dispose of waste on site. The ER is expected in late April 1997. NRC staff explained that the review of this proposal would require the development of an environmental impact statement, and explained the process with a focus on public involvement. With regard to off site contamination/exposure, Region I staff explained the inspection process, and reported that there is no evidence of off site contamination and that fence-line dose rates are at background levels. The meeting was covered by the local print and broadcast media.

Prior to the public meeting, the NRC staff members met with the Township Supervisors to discuss the public meeting and address their concerns.

West Valley Citizen Task Force Meeting on Regulatory Guideposts

On April 2, 1997, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff participated in the West Valley Citizen Task Force meeting to discuss regulatory guidelines for decommissioning and waste management at the West Valley site. The Department of Energy and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority convened the Task Force in January 1997, for advice on closure and decommissioning of the West Valley site near Springville and Ashford, New York. The NRC presentation identified regulatory and legislative precedents that could be used to guide the Task Force's consideration of various alternatives for closing and decommissioning West Valley site after completion of the Demonstration Project. Task Force participants showed interest in potential application of the draft final rulemaking on radiological criteria for license termination to West Valley, including alternatives for potential exposures exceeding 500 millirem per year to a member of the critical population group. The Task Force requested that the NRC staff members return for a follow-up meeting on May 7, 1997, to discuss application of the draft final rulemaking to West Valley, including topics such as: examples of effective institutional controls, risks from West Valley wastes sent to off site disposal facilities, reinstatement of the 10 CFR Part 50 license at West Valley, and groundwater protection.

AEOD Engineering Evaluation, E97-01, "Review of Industry Efforts to Manage Pressurized Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle, Piping, and Feedring Cracking and Wall Thinning, (NUREG/CR-6456, March 1997)

AEOD issued an Engineering Evaluation, AEOD/E97-01, "Review of Industry Efforts to Manage Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Feedwater Nozzle, Piping, and Feedring Cracking and Wall Thinning," (NUREG/CR-6456 INEL 96/0089, March 1997). The report is a comprehensive overview of technical issues associated with PWR feedwater nozzle, piping, and feedring cracking and wall thinning; safety aspects; and industry actions to manage these issues. The report should be useful in identifying, assessing, and evaluating program options to manage these issues. The effort focused on the main and auxiliary feedwater piping adjacent to the feedwater nozzle, the thermal sleeve, feedring, and J tubes. The principle areas reviewed were (1) feedwater system design, (2) safety significance of feedwater line rupture, (3) fatigue cracking experience, (4) flow-accelerated corrosion-induced wall thinning experience, (5) steam generator water hammer damage experience, (6) degradation mechanisms, (7) inservice inspection methods, and (8) mitigation, monitoring, and replacement activities.

Stolen Source Incident

On Monday, April 7, 1997, NRC staff from AEOD and NMSS supported Region IV in responding to the theft of a radiography camera containing a 25 Ci iridium-192 in Billings, Montana. The NRC worked with local authorities and the State to issue press warnings concerning the danger of the material if it were found outside of the shielding. The NRC determined that the resources of the Department of Energy Aerial Measuring System could assist in determining if the source material was unshielded, thereby presenting a danger to public health and safety. Adverse weather conditions prevented the plane from completing its mission in Billings on April 9. During a conference call on April 10 to determine the viability of a survey flight on that day, the licensee notified NRC that the location of the source had been reported by an anonymous caller. The licensee sent a radiographer to retrieve the camera and it is now in the custody of the licensee, Mattingly Testing Services. The camera was in good condition and the source was still in the camera.
