Gentlemen:

Subject: Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-277/85-31; 50-278/85-28

A special safety inspection of your transportation and radioactive waste pro-

grams was conducted by Mr. H. Bicehouse of this office on July 29 - August 1,

1985. Our findings were discussed with Mr. D. Smith of your staff at the con-

clusion of the inspection on August 1, 1985.

Areas of the transportation and radioactive waste programs examined during this

inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report which is enclosed

with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel

and observations made by the inspector.

We have reviewed the actions taken to correct the violation brought to your

attention in the enclosure to our letter, dated January 29, 1985. The correc-

tive actions stated in your letter, dated February 28, 1985, appear to be ade-

quate to prevent recurrence.

In addition, an inspection was conducted by a representative of the South

Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control on July 29, 1985 of a

shipment of radioactive waste from Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. The ship-

ment was inspected upon its arrival at the Chem-Nuclear System, Inc., burial

site at Barnwell, South Carolina. Areas examined during this inspection are

described in a report by the representative of the South Carolina Department of

Health and Environmental Control, which is attached to the NRC Region I Inspec-

tion Report enclosed with this letter. The inspection consisted of a review of

shipping papers, placarding, marking and labeling, radiation measurements,

selective contamination surveys, and examination of the packages and the

tractor-trailer.

i

Based on the results of these inspections, it appears that certain of your ac-

tivities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set

forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

These vio-

lations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the revised

NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register

Notice (49 FR 8583) dated March 8, 1984. You are required to respond to this

letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in

Appendix A.
