Dear Dr. Bernard:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-20/92-02
An announced inspection of your reactor operations and radiation protection programs was
conducted by Messrs. Thomas Dragoun and Stephen Holmes of this office on December 1-3,
1992, of activities authorized by NRC License No. R-37. A discussion of our Gndings was held
with you and other members of your staff by Messrs. Dragoun and Holmes at the conclusion
of this inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection included previously identined items, treatment room
modiGcations, facility stafGng, control of experiments, safety system surveillances, shipment of
waste, and implementation of the radiation protection program.
Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and represcatative records, interviews
with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
The inspectors noted the excellence of the technical reviews of new experiments and of the
radioactive waste shipping program. The other program areas were determined to be acceptable,
although two areas identined in the enclosed report require additional review during future
inspections. Within the scope of this review, no safety concerns or violations of regulatory
requirements were observed.
No response to this letter is required. Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Original Signed By;
