Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-369/93-08 AND 50-370/93-08)

This refers to the inspection conducted by R. B. Shortridge of this office on

May 17-21, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized

for your McGuire facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings

'

were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed

report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

'

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). The violations are of concern because the inadvertent

opening of vaccuum cleaners containing radioactive material could cause high

airborne concentrations leading to significant personnel intakes.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

-

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
