Gentlemen:
This refers to an unannounced inspection conducted by T. C. MacArthur of this
office _on February 10, 1981.
Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the
enclosed Inspection Report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a
review of the shipping papers, placarding and labeling requirements, radiation
measurements, selective contamination surveys, and observations by the inspector.
A shipment of Lradioactive waste shipped from your Crystal River facility was
inspected upon arrival at the Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc., Barnwell, South
Carolina.
During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license
appear to be in noncomplianca with NRC requirements. This item and references to
pertinent requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as
Appendix A.
Under the new enforcement policy, excessive radiation levels are
classified as a Severity III violation. This severity.]evel' normal-ly,results in
tha imposition of a civil penalty. However, the violation ci.ted in Appendix A
regarding the radiation levels was specifically addressed by the State of South
Carolina. The State of South Carolina issued a civil pe.nalty of $2500. In that
a civil penalty was imposed by the State for this violation, no further civil
penalty action will be taken by the NRC.
However, a detailed response. is
requested to the questions, addressed to you in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
-
