The inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Our inspector verified that in the main you have already satisfactorily implemented your licensed Quality Assurance Program for Preparation and Shipping of LSA Radioactive Materials.
In those areas where practices must be changed to meet the program you have indicated that the practices will be changed to be in accordance with the program. On this basis, it is concluded that UNC Recovery Systems has taken appropriate actions to assure that; (1) no radioactive waste materials containing free liquid will be packaged for shipment and burial; and (2) the integrity of packages will not be lost during shipment and burial.
Therefore, UNC Recovery Systems has taken the actions outlined in the Imediate Action Letter and may resume routine waste shipments to the Barnwell, South Carolina, burial site. Waste shipments to Beatty, Nevada, may be resumed after you have satisfied the requirements of the Nevada Inspection Services third party qualification program as required by the State of Nevada.
Within the scope of this inspection, no items of noncompliaace were observed.
