Subject:

Inspection 50-29/81-07

This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. J. C. Jang of this

office on April 28-30, 1981 of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-29

and to the discussions of our findings held by Messrs. J

C. Jang and J. J.

Kottan with Mr. N. St. Laurent and other members of your staff at the con-

clusion 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 selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the

inspector.

In addition, our Mobile Laboratory was also brought to your site and used by

the inspector to make certain 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 your facility and the NRC.

The complete data from these

measurements will be reported in a subsequent Inspection Report.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in

the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

This item of non-

compliance has been categorized into the levels described in the Federal

Register Notice (45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.

You are required to

respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the

instructions in Appendix A.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's 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 contractors)

believe to be exempt from disclosure under 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4), it is necessary

ations listed in 10 CFR 2.790(b)(4). The information sought to be withheld
