Washington, DC 2.0555-0001
Dear Sir,
e On June 3,1992, the Commission issued the Order that authorizes facility dismantling and disposition of component parts for the U.S. Army Materials Technology Research Reactor, Amended Facility License No. R-65,in accordance with the application dated October 8,1991, as nipplemented on March 16,1992, and March 31 1992. In accordance with this Order, the enclosed Army Materials Technology Reseaith Reactor Decommissioning Final Sunty Report, March 1993, is provided to confhm that radiation and surface contamination levels in the facility area satisfy the values specified in the Decommissioning Plan and in the Commission's guidance.
The U.S. Army Enviromnental Hygiene Agency (AEHA), Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland, reviewed the Final Survey Report in reordance with the Decommissioning Plan. In addition to this review, AEHA performed an independent verification survey of the reactor building and associated site.
Enclosed is the summary of the review and verification survey. The final report will be forwarded as soon as it is available.
~he results of all measurements taken during the final survey are below NRC guideline values for release for unrestricted use. Therefore,it can be concluded that the requ;sements of the Decomanissioning Plan and the NRC acceptance criteria to terminate the possession-only license have been met, that the reactor facility and site are suitable for release for unrestricted use and that Amended Facility License R-65 can be terminated.
Please contact Mr. Peter F. Cornetta. (617)923-5225 or CFT Joy R. Howard, (617)923-5478 if you have any questions or comments regarding this matter.
