ATTACHMENT A I
Response to Notice o f Violation Violation b
10 CFR 30.41(c) states, in part, that before transferring byproduct material to a specific licensee o f an Agreement State, the licensee transfurring the material shall verify that the transferee's license authorizes the receipt of the type, form, and quantity of byproduct material to be transferred.
Contrary to the above, the licensee made two shipments o f byproduct material to an Agreement State licensee without first verifying if their license authorized receipt.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved The licensee contacted National Nuclear Corporation (NNC) and obtained a copy of its license.
Based on inspection of NNC's license, it was determined that NNC was authorized to receive the byproduct material sent April 15, 1981, but would not have been authorized to receive the 500 C1 of mixed fission products sent August 21, 1981.
The licensee's health physicists were reinstructed on the provisions in Radiation Procedure RP 1520-1, titled "Off-site Shipment o f Radioactive Material", which requires that before transferring byproduct material, the licensee verify that the receiver is licensed to receive the type and amount o f radioactive material being shipped.
RP 1520-1 further states that acceptable methods o f verification are listed in 10 CFR 30.41(d).
The licensee 's health physicists have re-reviewed section 10 CFR 30.41(d) as part o f this reinstruction.
Corrective Action To Be Taken to Avoid Further Non-Compliance A procedure change to RP 1520-1 will be made to explicitly state that the most acceptable method of verification that the receiver is licensed to receive the type and amount of radioactive material being shipped, is by possession and reading of a current copy of the transferee's specific license or registration certificate.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Met The licensee is in full compliance at the present time.
The procedure change to RP 1520-1 described above will be completed by May 1, 1982.
