This refers to three inspections of shipments of radioactive waste from

Washington by a representative of the State of Washington.
Areas examined during these inspections are described in reports attached
to the Office of Inspection and Enforcement Inspection Reports 50-
333/81-22, 50-333/81-28 and 50-333/81-29, which are enclosed with this
letter.
The inspections consisted variously of reviews of shipping
papers, placarding, marking and labeling, radiation measurements, selective
