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
