Dear Mr. Veale:
Subject:
NRC Inspection No. 70-33/92-04 An announced safety inspection of your site remediation activities was conducted at your facility by Mr. J. Roth on December 14-16, 1992. The inspection findings were discussed with you, Mr. W. Schuele, and members of your staff on December 16,1992 during the inspection.
The area reviewed during the inspection was important to health and safety and is discussed in the enclosed inspection report. This area was the observation of a confirmatory survey conducted by the NRC contractor, the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education.
All operations of the facility have been terminated with the exception of decommissioning and decontamination activities. Preliminary results of the surveys conducted by the NRC contractor during this inspection indicated that you appeared to have completed cleanup of the bottom of the excavated area of the former burial site in an appropriate manner. However, the existence of elevated radiation levels on the walls of the excavated area indicated that not all radioactive material, above the guidance values approved in your Remediation Plan (30 picocuries total uranium per gram of soil), had been removed. It is our understanding that you will remove this material, resurvey the edges of Ge excavated area ard provide this office with a revised f' al m
- survey report. Within the scope of this inspection, no safety concerns or violations of regulatory requirements were identified.
