Wood River Junction, Rhode Island 02894 j
Gentlemen:
i, We have reviewed your letter of January 3,1979 to Region I, which responded to the "Special Safeguards Review of the United Nuclear Corporation Fuel Recovery Operations at Wood River Junction, Rhode Island,"
report of December 7,1978.
i Subject to confirmation of implementation, we f.ind the actions described in the enclosure to your letter to be adequate in addressing the observa-l i
tions contained in the December 7,1978 report insofar as they pertain to i
the following references:
1.1.1, 1.1.4, 1.2, 1.3, 2.2.3, 2.'.4, 2.3, 2.4, and 3.0.
Special reference is made to your comments as they rt' ate to the observation concerning inadequate control of_ laboratory samples (1.3).
There appears to be some discrepancy between procedural controls described in the special report and those described as actually being in effect.
Clarification on this point is necessary.
It is also important to assure the maintenance of a continuing off-site communications capability (2.4).
Reconfimtion of the presence of an
('
individual so located that he may monitor transmissions from your facility on a continuous basis is essential to achieve satisfactory compliance with this requirement. Again there seems to be some question concerning this l
point.
Clarification is needed.
I I
The remaining items described in the enclosure to your letter have been i
tim suoject of acditional discussions between members of the Division of Safeguards and representatives of your facility. Additional understandings i
concerning these points are set forth in the eticlosure to this letter.
