SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-146/2003-202
Dear Mr. Kuehn:
This letter refers to the inspections conducted on-site March 26 - 28 and August 11 - 13, 2003, at your Saxton Nuclear Experimental Facility and telephone conferences held on April 29, May 1, May 13, June 18, July 9, July 23, and November 6, 2003. The inspection included a review of the Final Status Survey report for the Containment Vessel Interior Above 774 Elevation and Exterior, Revision 1 dated October 29, 2003. This report includes four survey units and is the second submission of units to be released in accordance with the Saxton License Termination Plan (LTP) Revision 2 dated September 26, 2002, approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on March 28, 2003.
The inspection included an on-site, in-process review of your radiological survey program by an NRC contractor, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE).
The NRC inspector conducted selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress. The inspector determined that the Final Status Surveys were acceptably conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) and requirements in the LTP. The results demonstrated that the survey units acceptably met the release criteria established by the LTP.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at (the Public Electronic Reading Room) http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Mr. Thomas Dragoun at 610-337-5373.
Sincerely,
/RA/
