Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-213/80-22
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. J. J. Kottan of this
office on November 17-20, 1980 at your Haddam Neck Plant, Haddam, Connecticut
of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-61 and to the discussions of our
findings held by Mr. Kottan with Mr. R. H. Graves and others of your staff at
the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection
and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of seleu.ive examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the
inspector.
In addition, our Me'
boratory was also brought to your site and used by the
!
inspector to make t
..n independent measurements. The basic purpose of these
independent measurements is to verify your capability for analyzing radioactive
,
effluents, and to achieve and maintain comparable methods of analyses between
l
your facility and the NRC. The complete data from these measurements will be
reported in a subsequent Inspection Report.
Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the items of
noncompliance brought to your attention in the enclosure to our letter dated
April 18, 1978.
We have no further questions regarding the steps you took to
correct items A and B.
With regard to item C, this item has recurred.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities
were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These items of noncompliance
have been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice
(45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.

Item B in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter was identified
during a previous inspection of your licensed activities on March 13-17, 1978
and was documented in the enclosure to our letter dated April 18, 1978.
Your
letter to this office dated May 11, 1978 stated that the laboratory QC procedures
would be reviewed and revised and implemented by September 1, 1978.
From our
November 17-20, 1980 inspection it appears that the stated corrective actions
were not effective since this item has recurred.
Recurrent and uncorrected
items of noncompliance are given additional weight in the consideration and
selection of appropriate enforcement action. Therefore, in your response to
this letter, you should give particular attention to those actions taken or
planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will be completely
corrected and will not recur.
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 enclosures will
be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this report contains any information
that you (or your contractor) believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that
you make a written application within 20 days to this office to withhold such
information from public disclosure, Any such application must be accompanied by
an affidavit executed by the owner of the information, which identifies the
document or part sought to be withheld, and which contains a statement of reasons
which addresses with specificity the items which will be considered by the
Commission as listed in subparagraph (b) (4) of Section 2.790. The information
sought to be withheld shall be incorporated as far as possible into a separate
part of the affidavit.
If we do not hear from you in this regard within the
specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased
to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
1
