JUN 2 21982 Docket No. 70-0391 License No. SNM-356 Princeton University ATTN: Professor Robert M. May Chairman, Committee on Occupational Safety and Health Occupational Health / Safety - Forrestal Princeton, New Jersey 08544 Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 70-0391/82-02 This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. R. H. Ladun of this office on May 18, 1982 of activities authorized by NRC License No. SNM-356 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Ladun with Mr. R. Milwicz of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was limited to a review of those activities conducted under your license relating to the inspection of your plutonium / beryllium (PuBe) sealed sources. The Department of Energy has identified PuBe sources with end caps not welded in place and has recommended appropriate nondestructive exami-nation of the outer end cap welds of all PuBe sources. No apparent defects were identified; however, the inspector also discussed the advantages of conducting additional nondestructive tests by qualified personnel and appro-priate radiation safety precautions during such tests. A wipe sample was taken from each end cap weld area and was analyzed in our Regional Office Laboratory. This analysis identified no significant removable radioactive contamination, which is in agreement with your leak test results.
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 Public Document Room.
No reply to this letter is required. Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely, Original Si ned By:
