General
The NRC inspection consisted of a review of the shipping papers, radiation
survey of the vehicle, contamination surveys and radiation level surveys of
selected packages. General surveys and observations were conducted to deter-
mine if the vehicle had proper placards, proper seals, and if any obvious
safety hazards existed. The contents of the vehicles were inspected for
appropriate marking, labeling, tightness of seals, integrity of package
construction or any evidence of leakage.
Chem-Nuclear assigns a control number for each shipment upon arrival at the
site. These numbers were called " shipment survey report numbers" (SSR No.)
and were used by the inspectors to identify licensee-shippers during tLis
inspection.
