Dow Chemical U.S.A.
ATTN:
Dr. R. R. Langner
Chairman, Radiation
Safety Committee
Building 1603
Midland, MI 48640
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Miss R. J. Greer of
this office on August 28-29, 1980, of activities at Dow Nuclear Research
Reactor authorized by NRC License No. R-108 and to the discussion of our
findings with Mr. O. Anders and others of your staff at the conclusion of
this inspection, and to the discussion by telephone with Mr. K. Kelly on
September 3, 1980.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
_
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified during
the course of this inspection. However, based on a conversation on
September 3,1980 between Mr. K. Kelly of your staf f and Miss R. Greer
of this office, it is our understanding that you apparently did not
conduct quarterly evacuation drills during the last quarter, 1978 and
the first quarter, 1979 (Paragraph 6 of enclosed inspection report).
It is also our understanding that you have developed a Reminder Board
which lists requirements and other functions to be conducted on annual,
semiannual, quarterly and monthly schedules, including quarterly
evacuation drills. This board is intended to insure that drills as
well as other functions are completed as required.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room, except as follows.
If this report contains information that you
or your contractors believe to be proprietary, you must apply in writing
to this office, withir. twenty days of your receipt of this letter, to
withhold such information from public disclosure. The application must
include a full statement of the reasons for which the information is
considered proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary
information identified in the application is contained in an enclosure
to the application.
