SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-146/2005-201
Dear Mr. Byrne:
This refers to the inspection conducted from May 16 to October 5, 2005, at your Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation Facility and frequent telephone conferences with your staff during the months of July through October 2005. The inspection included a review of 43 Final Status Survey Reports (FSSR) that, in conjunction with earlier reports, completes the NRC review of FSSRs for the site. The survey information in these reports confirmed that remediation was complete and that all residual radioactivity was quantified, documented and below the NRC limits.
The inspection included an in-depth review of each FSSR and an in-process review of soil sampling and laboratory analysis on May 23 - 25, 2005. The NRC was assisted in our reviews by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. The inspector determined that the FSSs were conducted in accordance with the recommendations in the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) and requirements in the NRC-approved License Termination Plan (LTP). The FSSRs demonstrated that all survey units met the criteria in 10 CFR 20.1402 for unconditional release.
The inspector concluded that you have met the requirements for license termination given in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(11) by determining that 1) dismantlement has been performed in accordance with the approved LTP, and 2) the final radiation survey and associated documentation demonstrate that the facility and site have met the radiological criteria for decommissioning as specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. The NRC will reply to your request of September 15, 2005, for license termination by separate letter in the near future.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at (the Public Electronic Reading Room) http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html.
Mr. J. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Mr. Thomas Dragoun at 610-337-5373.
Sincerely,
/RA/
