Docket No. 50-47
Lt. Colonel James T. Naughton, OD
Deputy Director / Commander
U. S. Army Material Technology I2boratory
405 Arsenal Street
Watertown, Massachusetts 02172-0001
Dear Colonel Naughton:
Subject: Inspection No. 50-47/93-02
A safety inspection of the reactor facility (License Number R-65) decommissioning activities was
conducted by Mr. Thomas Dragoun and Ms. Laurie Peluso of this of5ce on April 26-29,1993.
The inspection included a radiation survey to confirm your report that the decontamination of
the facility was complete. Our findings were discussed with you and other members of the
facility staff by Mr. Dragoun and Ms. Peluso at the conclusion of the on-site portion of this
inspection.
The inspectors coordinated a confirmatory radiological survey by an NRC contractor, Oak Ridge
Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), discussed questions with the facility staff regarding
your termination survey report, and summarized the final information and actions needed to
result in a recommendation to terminate your reactor license. Subsequent to the on-site visit,
your additional record and report submittals were reviewed in the Region I office. Details of
this review are included in the enclosed inspection report.
All aspects of the inspection were completed on June 24, 1993. Based on this and previous
inspections, we have concluded that you have completed the reactor decommissioning activities
in accordance with requirements speci5ed in your NRC-approved Decommissioning Plan, as
amended.
The results of the ORISE and U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency
(USAEHA) radiation surveys (copies enclosed) con 5rmed that the reactor facility has been
successfully decontaminated to allow for its unconditional release. We will inform the NRC
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation of our finding regarding this matter.
