Each licensee-shipper vehicle was inspected for compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regu-lations as follows:
(1) shipping paper requirements; (2) DOT Placarding require-ments; (3) radiation levels; (4) removable contamination; (5)
DOT marking and labeling requirements for packages; (6)

DETAIIS Persons Contacted W. House, South Carolina DHEC D. Ebenhack, CNSI 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 numbers" (SSR No.)
and were used by the inspectors to identify licensee-shippers during this inspection.
Shipments Inspected Ninety-eight shipments were inspected July 27 - August 1, 1980.
A listing of the shippers inspected and their assigned number is included as an Attachment to this report.
Shipping Papers The shipping papers were reviewed for completeness and to ascertain if the contents of the shipment were properly identified, and if emergency notifi-cation procedures and instructions were included as required under
CFR 172, Subpart C.
