Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection Report Nos. 50-277/85-27; 50-278/85-25

An inspection was conducted by a representative of the State of

Washington, Department of Social and Health Services, on May 30, 1985,

of a shipment of radioactive waste from the Peach Bottom Atomic Power

Station. The shipment was inspected upon its arrival at the U. S.

Ecology , Incorporated burial site at Richland, Washington.

Areas examined during the inspection are described in the State of

Washington, Department of Social and Health Services Inspection Report

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

shipping papers, placarding, marking and labeling, radiation

measurements and examination of the packages and the tractor-trailer.

Based on the results of the inspection, it appears that one of your

activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,

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

This violation has been categorized by severity level in accordance with

the 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.

The violation for which you have been cited has already been the subject

of enforcement action by the State of Washington. On June 5, 1985, the ,

State of Washington suspended your authorization to use the commerical

low-level radioactive waste disposal site indefinitely.

In view of the circumstances surrounding this matter, we have exercised

our discretion under the NRC Enforcement Policy and have chosen to issue

at this time the enclosed Notice of Violation. After reviewing your

response to this Notice of Violation and your proposed corrective

actions, the NRC will determine whether further action is necessary in

order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
