NOTICE OF VIOLATION Battelle Memorial Institute License No. SNM-7 Columbus, Ohio Docket No. 070-00008 During an NRC inspection conducted from January 31 through March 25, 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 20.1801 requires that the licensee secure from unauthorized removal or access, licensed materials that are stored in unrestricted areas.
10 CFR 20.1802 requires that the licensee control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material that is in an unrestricted area and that is not in storage. As defined in 10 CFR 20.1003, unrestricted area means an area, access to which is neither limited nor controlled by the licensee.
Contrary to the above, on February 1,1994, the licensee did not secure from unauthorized removal or limit access to approximately 2.5 microcuries (9.25 E4 becquerel) of hydrogen-3, as radioactive waste, located in Room 7314 of the King Avenue site, an unrestricted area, nor did the licensee control and maintain constant surveillance of this licensed material.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Battelle Columbus Division is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III, 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, i

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
