intheFederalRegistertiotico(45FR66754)datedOctober7,1980. You
are required to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you
should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
Item A in Appendix A was identified during a previous inspection of your
licensed activities on February 5, 1980, and, as discussed above, was brought
to your att2ntion in our letter of iluly 22, 1980. Your letter to this office
dated August 29, 1980 stated that high radiation areas would be posted in a
more permanent fashion. From our Septcmber 28, 1981 inspection it appears that
the stated corrective actions were not effective since this item has recurred.
Recurrent and uncorrected items of noncompliance are given additional weight
in the consideration and selection of appropriate enforcement action. Therefore,
in your response to this letter, you should give particular attention to those
actions taken or planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will
be completely corrected and will not recur.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 (a) of the Comission's regulations, a copy
of this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the tiRC Public Document
Room unicss you notify this office, by telephone, within ten days of the
date of this letter and submit written applicatio.1 to withhold information
contained therein within thirty days of the date of this letter. Such
application must be consistent with the requirements of 2.730 (b)(1).
The responses directed by this letter are not sutyject to the clearance
procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
