General The NRC inspection consisted of a review of the shipping papers, radiation survey of the vehicle, contamination surveys and radiation level surveys of selected packages. General surveys and observations were conducted to deter-mine if the vehicle had proper placards, proper seals, and if any obvious
,
safety hazards existed. The contents of the vehicles were inspected for appropriate marking, labeling, tightness of seals, integrity of package construction or any evidence of leakage.
.-
Chem-Nuclear assigns a control number for each shipment upon arrival at the site. These numbers were called " shipment survey report numbdrs" (SSR No.)
.
and were used by the inspectors to identify licensee-shippers during this inspection.
