NRC Comment As required by 10CFR20.203(f) (1) and 20.203(f) (2), each container of licensed material containing quantities greater than those lisied in Appendix C of 10 CFR 20 shall bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents and bear the radiation caution symbol described in 10 CFR 20. 203(a) and the words "CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or "DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL."
10 CFR 20.203 (f) (3) specifies exceptions to the labeling requirements of 10 CFR 20.203(f) (1) and 20.203(f) (2).
Contrary to the above, on February 12 and 13, 1979 twelve 55-gallon drums in the Auxiliary Building containing contaminated materials were not labeled as stated above.
Assuming typical activation products, and based on measured radiation levels, the inspector estimated that the drums contained activities ranging from 200 to 16,000 times 10 CFR 20 Appendix C activities.
The exceptions specified by 10 CFR 20.203(f) (3) did not apply.
E.
Response
The above information is correct as ata ted.

- 2. Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations.
Health Physics personnel have been reinstructed in regard to labeling requirements of licensed material in excess of quantities specified in Appendix C of 10C:FR20.
Assistant Health Physics Super-visors will tour the restricted controlled areas at least daily to insure cocpliance.
- 3. The date 1.men full compliance will be achieved:
