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,

South Carolina

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.
