Subject:

Inspection No. 82-01 This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. R. H. Ladun of j

this office on May 13, 1982 of activities authorized by NRC license No. SNM-685 l

and to the discussions of our findings held by R. Ladun at the conclusion of the j

inspection.

This inspection was limited to a review af those activities conducted under your license relating to plutonium / beryllium (PuBe) sealed sources. The Department of Energy has identified PuBe sources with end caps.not welded in place and has 1

recommended appropriate nondestructive examination of the outer end cap welds of all PuBe sources.

The inspector visually examined the welds of your two PuBe sources.

No apparent defects were identified; however, the inspector also i

discussed the advantages of conducting additional nondestructive tests by qualified personnel and appropriate radiation safety precautions during such tests. A wipe sample was taken from each end cap weld area and was analyzed in our Regional 1

i Of fice Laboratory. This analysis identified no significant removable radioactive contamination, which is in agreement with your leak test results.

4 Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed in the i
