Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/93-44 AND 50-328/93-44)

'

This refers to the inspection conducted by E. D. Testa of this office on

,

September 13-17, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities

authorized for your Sequoyah facility. At the conclusion of the inspection

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

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. We are concerned about the violation because failure to follow

procedures for labeling, storing, and handling of radioactive material could

j

result in unnecessary exposure of personnel.

The enclosed Inspection Report

also identifies activities that violated NRC requirements that will not be

subject to enforcement action because your efforts in correcting the violation

met the criteria specified in Section VII.B. of the Enforcement Policy.

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.

l

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and its enclosures

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
