Gentlemen:

Subject:

Combined Inspection

Report Nos. 50-387/90-16;

50-388/90-16

This refers to the routine safety inspection

conducted

by Hr. J. Furia of this

office on August 13-17,

1990, of activities authorized

by NRC License

Nos.

NPF-14

and NPF-22 at the Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station,

Units

1

& 2,

and

to the discussions

of our findings held by Hr. J. Furia with Hr.

G. Stanley

and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

included transportation of radioactive

materials

and solid radwaste

processing,

as described

in the

NRC Region I

Inspection

Report which is enclosed

with this letter.

Within these

areas,

the

inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures

and

representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observations

by the

inspector.

Based

upon results of the inspection, it appears

that

one of your activities

was not conducted

in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set forth in

the Notice of Violation, enclosed

herewith

as Appendix A.

Specifically, since

1984, you have

been

under reporting the activities of most radionuclides

in

your waste

shipments of dewatered

spent resins,

due to improper

sampling

and

analysis of these

wastes,

in violation of 10 CFR 61.55.

Although your staff

identified this problem in Hay,

1990,

we have elected

not to classify this as

a licensee identified violation, due to the long standing nature of the

violation,

and the availability of NRC and industry guidelines

on the

development of appropriate

scaling factors.

You are required to respond to

the Notice of Violation, and in preparing your response,

you should follow the

instructions in Appendix A.

The responses

directed

by this letter and the accompanying

Notice are not

subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Hanagement

and Budget

as

required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.
