Docket No.: 50-346 Mr. James S. Grant Vice President - Energy Supply Toledo Edison Company Edison Plaza 3n0 Madison Avenue Toledo, Ohio 43652

Dear }. Grant:

In yot' letter dated November 21, 1978, you raised four questions concert ing possession of radioactive waste material at your site and during shipment to Chem-Nuclear's waste burial grounds.

The functions performed by mobile radwaste units at nuclear power reactor sites fall within the scope of activities which may be carried out as part of reactor operation under a facility operating license issued pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50. The control of radio-active waste generated at a reactor site is the responsibility of the reactor facility licenseeunder his license. By letter dated September 14, 1978, to Chem-Nuclear Systems, Ir.c., (Enclosure 1) we have provided some information about the regulatory require-ments on use of contractor mobile radwaste systems.

In any case, regardless of the method of processing radwaste, the reactor facility licensee is responsible for assuring that all activities on his site are carried out in a manner consistent with the facility operating license, and the Commission's regulations and are conducted in a manner which would provide adequate protection from the stand-point of radiological health and safety.

In answer to specific questions raised by your letter:

1. & 2.

The responsibility for control of reactor radwaste on the reactor site is governed by the reactor operating license.

It is the reactor licensee's responsibility to assure that these activities are carried out in accoraance with 7903'230l N
