January 22, 1981 Mr. B.

H. Grier, Director U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region 1, 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406

Dear Mr. Grier:

On behalf of the Eastman Kodak Company, I affirm to the follow-ing in response to your letter to me of January 20, 1981, your Docket No. 70-1703:

In reference to the last paragraph on page 1:

(1)

Corrective steps which have been taken -

On January 16, 1981, E.

Scott Harter, Radiation Safety Officer of the Eastman Kodak Company, made application (copy attached) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission through Mr.

William Crow for a six-month temporary license for the Special Nuclear Material covered by our lapsed License No. SNM-1513.

l (2)

Corrective steps to be taken to avoid this happening in the future -

The permanent file for this license has been kept in the office of the Company Radiation Safety Officer.

A duplicate file will be established in the Office of the Director of the Analytical Science.s Division and will incorporate a revolving l

index of this, and other, licenses to alert us to the need to file renewal applications or execute other periodic responsibili-ties associated with these licenses.

This file will serve as a l

backup to that maintained by the Company Radiation Safety Officer.

In reference to the first paragraph on page 2:

(A)

I received your letter of January 20, 1981 at approxi-l l

mately 1:30 PM on that date.

In accordance with the instructions given to us by MA. J.

Roth on January 16, 1981, I notified the group leader of tl:e Neutron Activation Facility that I had been ordered to shut down the Californium Flux Multiplier (CFX) on the completion of experiments currently in progress.

At 4:30 PM on January 21, 1981, I took possession of the operating key for the CFX and gave the group leader, Mr. J. L. Pietruszewski, a wit-nessed and notarized receipt for the key.

I then had the key placed in a safe provided for such purposes by the Administrative Services group of these Laboratories.

I, in turn, received a l

' 8108130cW(

Mr.

D'.' H. Grior--2 January 22, 1981 witnessed and notarized receipt for that transaction.

(B)

The security of the SNM was assured by the physical barriers and administrative procedures described in License SNM-1513, all of which I affirm to be fully in place.

(C)

At 2:00 PM on January 21, 1981, I was informed that Mr.

Crow had notified Mr. Harter of the approval of our temporary license and that we could resume operation at any time.

I then reversed the process described in (A) above and returned the operating key to Mr. Pietruszewski.

Receipts for these trans-actions were also witnessed and notarized.

At Mr. Roth's suggestion, I enclose with this letter copies of each of the receipts for the transfer of the key which I affirm to be exact copies.

I appreciate the help that Mr. Roth gave me in our telephone conversation of January 22, 1981 in formulating this response.

Should you have any further questions, I will be pleased to respond.

Sincerely, k

hb' Don W. Vanas, Director Analytical Sciences Division Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories DNV: pit Encs.

Dear Mr. Crow:

Eastman Kodak Company requests that License No. SNM-1513 be reinstated for a six-month period, effective on today's date.

A revised application will be submitted within one month.

This request has been discussed with Dr. An-Liang Soong of your staff during his visit to our facility today.

Please note that a renewal request was submitted on June 16, 1980, and the application fee ($460) was submitted in August 1980.

Efforts to expedite this request will be greatly appreciated since a costly shutdown of our operation is in effect.

Sincerely, S$dhk E. Scott Harter Radiation Safety Officer Health, Safety and Human Factors Laboratory OSH:jll cc:
