An inspection was conducted by a representative of the State of

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.
