Gentlemen:

Tnis refers to the inspection conducted by S. C.

Ewald of this office on

September 18-21, 1979, of activities authorized by NRC License No. R-66 for the

University of Virginia Test Reactor facility, and to the discussion of our

findings held with Dr. T. G. Williamson at the conclusion of the inspection.

The inspection was an examination of the activities conducted under your license

as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules

and regulations and the conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of

selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the inspector.

We have examined actions you have taken with regard to previously identified

enforcement matters and unresolved items. The status of these items is discussed

in the enclosed report.

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.

This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section

2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regula-

tions. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within 20 days of

your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results achieved; (2)

corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the

date when full compliance will be achieved.

During the inspection it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to deviate from generally accepted industry practices and have safety

significance.

This item is identified in the Notice of Deviation enclosed

herewith as Appendix B.

Please provide us in writing within 20 days of your

receipt of this letter your comments including a description of corrective

actions that have been or will be taken, corrective actions which will be taken

to avoid further deviations, and the date corrective actions were or will be
