LOCKEEED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION (RER), LICENSE NO. R-86, DOCKET NO. 50-172

,

The attached report of a special inspection of the subject facility by our

inspectors on Septe=ber 9, 1970, is forwarded for infor ation. The purpose

of the inspection was to discuss the deco ==issioning of the RER and to deter-

mine if the Technical Specifications requirements are being =et nov that the

plant is shutdown. (Plant was last operated on July 16, 1970.)

'

Four items of nonco=pliance with the Technical Specifications were detected

during the inspection. The ite=s involved primary coolant sa=pling, opera-

tional check of e=ergency diesel generator, mini =u= instrumentation require-

ments and the Safety Co=ittee meeting require =ents. A Fo= AEC-592 vill be

issued even though the above items may fall in the category of " technical

violations . " The licensee- has info =ed the inspector that he vill soon submit

a request to DRL to change the RER Technical Specifications in order to =e.ke

the applicable to the shutdown facility.

The Lockheed plan is to co=pletely close the facility on Septe=ber 30, 1970.

The only personnel re=aining at the site vill be one reactor supervisor, one

H.P. , one =aintenance technician and enough security personnel to =aintain

around-the-clock coverage.

Mr. M. A. Dewar, Deco =issioning Task Force Leader, informed our inspector

'

that Lockheed's present plan is to return the site and associated facilities

to an unrestricted status. This vould invclve transporting to a designated

burial ground all conte =inated and activated =aterial including the soil frc=

around the reactor and from the seepage pit.

In the =anage=ent interviev, our inspectors atte=pted to i= press on these

present the =agnitude of the task which they are facing in decontaminating

the site and disposing of conta=inated and/or activated material. Although

Mr. Dewar indicated that he is aware of the =agnitude of the task, the

minimal nu.ber of personnel re=aining at the site to supervise the decon-

tamination and disasse=bly effort would suggest that they are not fully

cognizant of the proble=.
