The Honorable Joseph M. Hendrie . ;.. EF Chairman, Nuclear Regulatory'Comniission Washington, D.C. ~
Dear Chairman Hendrie:
I am writing out of concern over developments that have occurred -
m with respect to the National Bureau of Standards' testing reactor at -
a Gaithersburg, Maryland. =.?
Commission officials informed my staff today that during the ;;;_
course of NRC's routine inspection of the premises they uncovered T.?
radioactive contamination in the area surrounding the test reactor building. ..I.
~'
I am told that this radioactive material has been removed from the soil E, and that further investigation is taking place to identify the source of .
the contamination. -
E =~
While I am pleased to hear that the contamination has been removed, :
I wish to help ensure .that no further contamination will ensue, in light of .
the potential impact to the area. I, therefore, urge the Commission to continue its investigation as vigorously and expeditiously as possible and I would appreciate it if you would keep me abreast of developments. .
