Gentlemen:
This refers
to
an
unannounced
inspection
conducted
by T.
C. MacArthur of this
office on December
9, 1980.
Areas
examined
during
the
inspection
and
our findings
are
discussed
in the
enclosed
inspection
report.
Within these
areas,
the
inspection
consisted
of
a
review of the
shipping
papers,
placarding
and
labeling
requirements,
radiation
measurements,
selective
contamination
surveys,
and observations
by the inspector.
A shipment
of radioactive
waste
shipped
from your Turkey Point facility was in-
spected
upon arrival at the
Chem-Nuclear
Systems,
Inc., Barnwell,
disposal site
~
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.
Under the
new enforcement
pol'icy, breach
of package
integrity is
classified
as
a Severity III,violation.
This severity level normally results
in
the imposition of
a civil penalty.
However,
the violation cited in Appendix A
regarding
the
packaging
of radioactive
materials
in strong,
tight containers
was specifically addressed,
by the State
of South Carolina.
The State
of South
Carolina
issued
a civil penalty of $ 1000.
In that
a civil penalty
was
imposed
by the State for this violation,
no further'ivil penalty action will be taken
by the
NRC
~
However,
we do request
a detailed
response
to the questions
addressed
to you in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
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
document.
If we
do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period,
the report will be placed in the Public Document
Room.
