JUN 2 91982 Docket No. 70-02912 License No. SNM-1862 Montclair State College ATTN:
Dr. Lubik Kowalski, Chairman Physics Department Upper Montclair, Ner Jersey 07043 Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 82-01 This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mrs. T. Hall Darden of this office on June 2, 1982 of activities authorized by NRC License No. SNM-1862 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mrs.
Darden with Dr. Richard Hodson 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 plutonium / beryllium (PuBe) sealed sources. The 1,
Department of Energy has identified PuBe sources with end caps not welded in place and has recommended appropriate nondestructive examination of the outer space end cap welds of all PuBe sources.
The inspector visually examined the welds of your PuBe source.
No apparent defects were identified; however, the inspector also 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 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 51 ped Drs O M ES OWW Thomas T. Martin, Director Division of Engineering and Technical Programs OFFICIAL RECORD COPY jg.4
