Gentlemen:
This refers to an inspection conducted by Mr. D. Skov of the NRC Region V
office on August 24, 1981, of a shipment of radioactive waste from the
,
Zion Nuclear Power Plant on its arrival at the Richland waste burial site.
1
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. The inspection consisted of a review of shipping papers,
4
placarding and marking requirements, and selective contamination surveys
and radiation measurements.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in compliance with NRC requirements as set
^
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed as Appendix A.
Supplement V of the NRC's Proposed General Statement of Policy published
in the Federal Register (45 FR 66754) October 7,1980, sets forth the
s_everity levels for violations of transportation regulations. The viola-
l
tion has been categorized at the severity level dercribed in Appendix A.
You are required to respond to this letter, and in preparing your response
j
should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
6
The violation for which you have been cited has alreacy been the subje('
of enforcement action by the State of Washington. The state suspended
your burial permit from August 26 to September 14, 1981.
In view of the
circumstances surrounding this matter, we have exercised our discretion
under the Interim Enforcement Policy (45 FR 66754) October 7, 1980, and
have chosen to issue at this time the enclosed Notice of Violation.
<
After reviewing your response to this Notice of Violation and your
proposed corrective actions, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary in order to ensure compliance with NRC
regulatory requirements.
