[{] Temporary Job Site Inspection 2200 W Salsburg Rd., Auburn, MI PROGRAM SCOPE This was an announced inspection of decontamination and decommissioning activities that were being performed by Chase Environmental Group (CEG), a Kentucky licensee. The work was being conducted under reciprocity for the Dow Chemical Company (DCC), an NRC licensee located in Auburn, Michigan. At the time of the inspection, CEG was characterizing one of DCC's research buildings. There were approximately 18 research laboratories where carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 was used for in vitro research over last 10 years. One laboratory was a radiosynthesis laboratory where up to 1 curie of carbon-14 had been used. Microcurie and millicurie quantities of carbon-14 and hydrogen-3, as well as short-lived nuclides including iodine-125, phosphorus-32, sulfur-35, and chromium-SI, were used in the other laboratories. Based on CEG's historical site assessment of the building, they concluded that carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 were the only nuclides of concern. The last use of any licensed material was in 2018. CEG submitted a radiological work plan to Region I on February 5, 2019, and NRC Form 241 for reciprocity work to be conducted under it's Kentucky materials licens Performance Observations The inspector interviewed Kelly Wegener, RSO and representative for DCC, and Dave Culp, Field Services Manager for CEG. The inspector toured the vacant building and select laboratories where CEG staff were conducting characterization surveys, and observed a CEG staff member perform laboratory surveys with a gas flow proportional floor monitor. CEG will be developing a decommissioning plan for submittal to the NRC once they complete their characterization surve At the time of the inspection, CEG was staffed by one project manager and two radiation safety technician The inspector noted that CEG possessed 3 exempt quantity sealed sources that were use for instrument detector response checks. The inspector also noted adequate provisions for security of the vacant building and laboratories, and proper area postings including NRC notice to employees, CEG's Kentucky license, and NRC Form 241.
