Subject:
Response to NRC IE -Bulletin 79-19
Dear Sir:
The following information is submitted as an amendment to the response submitted-to you on 18 September 1979 in regard to NRC IE Bulletin 79-19.
The information covers operations of the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR)
Campus and the UMR Research Reactor. The Research Reactor operates under license R-79.
The UMR Campus laboratories and users are'under license 24-513-32.
All nine items are listed again'fot H sake of completeness.
How-ever, only items 4, 6, 8 and 9 are diffi from the earlier response.
'Our amended response is as follows:
- 1..Each of five health ' physics offices maintains a set of NRC and D0T regulations.
2.
Each health physics office maintains a set of collection contractor requirements.
3.
Each health physics office staff member, health physicist and health physics technician,'is designated as responsible for.the safe' transfer, packaging and transport of low-level radioactive material.
No other persons are so designated.
4.
UMR health physics currently follows the general instructions ilisted in the " Handbook of Radiological Operations" which is applicable throughout the University of Missouri.
Health physics will develop a Standard Operating Procedure to cover radioactive waste operations.
5.
Health physics office staff members maintain. an understanding of regulatory requirements by self-study and mutual assistance.
-6.
Employees who generate the wastes are instructed in their obli-gations by health physics by supplying'the users with a " Handbook of Radiological Operations" and through periodic laboratory
-inspections..

~7. >A'. regular audit of each of the five health physics offices is performed annually with waste management practices constituting a supplement.of the audit.
8.
A management-controlled audit of the activities associated with the transfer, packaging and transport of low-level-radioactive waste.was performed on December 20, 1979, and is on file in the health physics office.
- 9. nThis report is sent as an amendment to any previous response to Bulletin No. 79-19 and: covers the UMR campus only (reactor included).
1.) One waste shipment was made on May 3,1978
~
with a total volume of 37.5 cubic feet.
No other waste shipments have been made to date.
2.)
uantity------------- 0.0263 Ci Q
Isotopes------C-14 Cs-134 p-32 Eu-152 p-33 Na-22 H-3 Ag-110m K-40 3.) Yes, liquid low-level radioactive waste was produced during. scintillation counting. The scintillation liquid contained in vials was packed in vermiculite.
