Mr. J. P. O'Reilly, Director Docket No.
50-302 Office of Inspection & Enforcement Licensee No. DPR-72 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Ref:
RII:JMP Atlanta, GA 30303 50-302/80-10
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
We offer the following response to the apparent Item of Noncompliance in the referenced inspection report.
NOTICE of VIOLATION As required by 10 CFR 20.203(f) each container of licensed material shall bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents.
The label shall bear the radiation caution symbol and the words " CAUTION -
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" and shall provide sufficient information to permit l
individuals handling or using the containers or working in the vicinity thereof, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures.
Contrary to the above, bags of waste and drums of laundry, which were I
determined by the inspector to contair. licensed material, were not marked with the appropriate labels.
l Response: During the period on or about May 22, 1980, clear bags were used l
in lieu of yellow bags to contain radioactive materials because of a tempor-l ary warehouse stock problem.
These bags were placed in a posted lay-down area l
in the Auxiliary Building hot shop, but were not individually tagged. When identified by the inspector, the bags were tagged and shortly thereaf ter, the contents were transferred to yellow bags, in accordance with RP-217, Radioactive Material Tagging.
Additionally, the inspector identified improperly marked drums of protective i
clothing that had been returned from a vendor after cleaning. After identifi-cation, the " Radioactive LSA" markings were replaced with tags to be in accord-ance with 10 CFR 20.203(F).
I Subsequent to the inspection, RP-217, Radioactive Material Tagging was revised to incorporate allowance for the use of clear bags, if necessary.
The procedure now clearly states, "It is imperative that material so contained be adequately tagged and segregated from non-radioactive material".
Further, a new section has been added to the procedu a placing the requirement that protective clothing containers being returned from offsite cleaning facilities shall be re-labeled
