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

noncompliance 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 cf the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document

Room.

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