This is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of licensed fuel cycle facilities. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/materials/fuel-cycle-fac.html for more information.
List of Violations No violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items None.
REPORT DETAILS 2
PLANT STATUS The Westinghouse Facility converts uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into uranium dioxide using a wet conversion process and fabricated fuel assemblies for use in commercial nuclear power reactors. During the inspection period, normal production activities were ongoing.
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 88015 - Nuclear Criticality Safety The inspectors evaluated selected aspects of the licensees Nuclear Criticality Safety program to verify compliance with selected portions of 10 CFR 70 including 70.24, 70.61, and 70.62; Chapter 6, Nuclear Criticality Safety Program, of the facilitys license application; and applicable licensee procedures.
Criticality Analysis (IP Section 02.01)
The inspectors interviewed licensee NCS staff and reviewed criticality safety evaluations (CSEs), and supporting documents, to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application. Specifically, the inspectors interviewed licensee NCS engineers and reviewed the following documents related to the Scrap Cage, Pelleting Lines, Pellet Grinder Lines, and other operations:
CSE-3-E, "Criticality Safety Evaluation for the Conversion Line Decanter System and Associated Vessels," Revision (Rev.) 12, including the review of normal, credible abnormal, and non-credible accident sequences CSE-3-M, "Criticality Safety Evaluation for the Conversion Quarantine Tank System," Rev. 8, which was reviewed because it contained a variety of calculation and information supporting the licensee's evaluation of accident sequences and IROFS ADUQFLT-128 for backflow prevention CSE-8-C, "Criticality Safety Evaluation for the ADU and Erbia Pellet Sintering Lines," Rev. 11, including the review of what-if analysis, normal, credible abnormal, and non-credible accident sequences CSE-8-D, "Criticality Safety Evaluation for the Pellet Grinder Lines," Rev. 22, including the review of accident scenarios 1 and 2 which cover various potential mass accumulation scenarios
4 Criticality Implementation (IP Section 02.02)
The inspectors selected engineered and administrative controls from the licensees integrated safety analysis (ISA) summary and reviewed process and system descriptions, drawings, plant walkdowns, and operator interviews to verify that the controls were implemented in accordance with applicable requirements in the license application. Specifically, the inspectors interviewed licensee staff and reviewing the following controls associated with the CSEs listed above:
administrative mass control IROFS for the pelleting and pellet grinder lines passive engineered geometry control IROFS in the pelleting lines active engineered control IROFS for scrap cage operations Criticality Operational Oversight (IP Section 02.03)
The inspectors assessed the NCS staffs oversight of plant operators, procedures, and operations of systems involving special nuclear material to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application. Specifically, the inspectors performed the following activities:
observed a licensee NCS engineer conduct a weekly audit of the pelleting line operations and reviewed the resulting audit report interviewed licensee operations and maintenance personnel on the maintenance and operation of the criticality accident alarm system interviewed licensee pelleting engineer on the setpoints and maintenance of the active engineered controls Criticality Programmatic Oversight (IP Section 02.04)
The inspectors reviewed NCS program procedures, and audits to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application. Specifically, the inspectors interviewed licensee NCS staff and reviewed the following documents:

5 Criticality Incident Response and Corrective Action (IP Section 02.05)
The inspectors reviewed the licensees criticality accident alarm system (CAAS) and corrective action program (CAP) to verify compliance with 10 CFR 70 and applicable sections of the license application. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed documents, and interviewed licensee staff concerning the following:
recent NCS events, their associated corrective actions, and the reportability determination documented by licensee NCS staff including IR-2020-1192, IR-2020-9312, IR-2020-13859, IR-2020-13903 recent CAAS maintenance records and issues including preventative maintenance PM20852a recent NCS evacuation drill records and performance for 2020 88020 - Operational Safety The inspectors evaluated selected aspects of the licensees Operational Safety program to verify compliance with selected portions of 10 CFR 70.24, 70.61, 70.62, and Chapter 3, "Management Measures," of the facilitys license application, and applicable licensee procedures.
