Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by D. M. Montgomery of this office on

February 4-7, 1980, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License No. DPR-23

for the H. B. Robinson facility, and to the discussion of our findings held with

R. B. Starkey at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during this inspection included written procedures for operation

of the Ge(Li) gamma ray spectroscopy system and radiochemical analysis of samples

for monitoring effluent releases.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted

of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews

with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

The Region II Mobile Laboratory was also brought to your site and used by the

inspector to make certain independent measurements. The basic purpose of these

independent measurements is to verify your capability for analyzing radioactive

effluents and to achieve and maintain comparable methods of analyses between

your facility and the NRC. The complete data from these measurements will be

reported in a subsequent Inspection Report.

During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements. This item and references

to pertinent requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith

as Appendix A. This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section

2.201 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regula

tions. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within 20 days of

your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results achieved; (2)

corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the

date when full compliance will be achieved.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title

10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosed inspection

report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room. If this report contains

any information that you (or your contractor) believe to be proprietary, it is

necessary that you make a written application within 20 days to this office to

withhold such information from public disclosure. Any such application must

include a full statement of the reasons on the basis of which it is claimed that

the information is proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary infor

mation identified in the application is contained in a separate part of the docu

ment. If we do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the

report will be placed in the Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,
