-License fio. 42-05834-03 Commander Department of the Air Force USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Aerospace Medical Division Brooks Air Force Base, Texas 78235 Gentl emen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. Harrison and Mustain of this office on January 9-12, 1979, of the activities authorized by flRC Byproduct Material Licen,e rio. 42-05834-03, and to the discussion of our findings held by Mr. Mustain with Col. Enders and staff on January 12, 1979.
The inspection was an examination of the activities conducted under the license as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and the conditions of the license.
The inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews of personnel, independent measurements and observations by the inspector.
tio itens of noncompliance with f;RC requirements were found during the inspection.
Mr. Mustain also reviewed the action you had taken with respect to one item of noncompliance observed during our previous inspection, which was conducted May 6-7, 1976.
He verified that the corrective action with respect to this item was implemented as stated in your reply of June 8,1976, to our letter dated May 19, 1976.
The issue of permissible doses to the whole body in any period of one calendar quarter pursuant to 10 CFR 20.101(a) was lef t unresolved since personnel and exposure records for terminated personnel were not available at the time of inspection.
We will review your records concerning this matter at a future inspection.

In conformance with our mutual understanding, the basic wind data and the initial studies including the computer frequency printouts and a sumn7 of the 100 year, fastest-mile wind speed for each of the stations are enclosed.
Encl. 1 Summary - 100-Year Station Wind Exceedence Frequency - Fastest Mile Wind Speed in Miles Per Hour Encl. 2 Map - showing 100-year fastest mile at each station location Encl. 3 Computer printout sheets (2 volumes) - frequencies for fastest mile wind speed - Pearson Type III method, printout volumes; Job 89 B 1211397, 25 June 1976 and Job 181 B 1211397,1 July 1976 Encl. 4 Frequency Analysis - Wind Speed - Fastest Mile - computation sheets determined by the Gumbel procedure (NOAA forms). These computations are for comparison with computer Pearson Type III analyses.
Encl. 5 Station Listing and Data Availability - listing of stations with aaltiple register charts along and within 100 miles of the Atlantic and Gulf coastline.
Encl. 6 Tabulations of recorded fastest mile wind speed per year for 29 stations furnished by NOAA. The records for 13 stations out of the 29 stations furnished are lacking from 5 to 25 years in wind speed data to complete the record through 1975, indicated in Encl. 1 and 6.
Some of the wind station data furnished were corrected to the 30-foot level by NOAA: others in pencil were corrected by us.
The 30-foot wind speed was used in the frequency computations referred to in the enclosures above.
Encl. 7 Tabulations of recorded fastest mile wind speed per year for 7 stations, as well as the wind directions, are shown at the time of the maximum wind speed. In addition to the 7 station partial recorded wind directions, data are shown for 12 of the stations listed in the original 29 stations and only 2 stations in this list show record extension.
5 It is concluded that a substantially greater number of wind recorder stations along the coast and inland will be required for a comprehensive analysis to ascertain a 100-year wind frequency generalization with any degree of reliability.
The 29 station records, Encl. 6, that are not complete should be extended to include all available wind records up to the most recent date, before use in any final generalized analysis. A large number of station wind records along the coast extending inland several hundred miles will probably be required in the frequency analyses to assure a dependable 100 year wind frequency generalization with any degree of confidence.
