Subject: NRC INSPECTION

Gentlemen: .

.

This refers to a routine, safeguards inspection conducted by Mr. L.R.

Norderhaug of this office on July 29-August 14, 1985 of activities authorized

by NRC License No. R-76. It also refers to the discussions of our preliminary

inspection findings held by the inspector with Dr. Filby, you and other

members of your organization on July 30, 1985. It also refers to the

conversation between you and L. Norderhaug on August 14, 1985.

Areas examined during this inspection included activities related to physical

protection as described in the enclosed inspection report. Within these

areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and

records, interviews with facility and other personnel, and observations by the

inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your

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

forth in the Notice of Violation enclosed as Appendix A to this letter. The

item has been categorized into a severity level as described in the NRC

Enforcement Policy, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 2

Appendix C.

Your response to this Notice is to be submitted in accordance with the

provisions of 10 CFR 2.201 as stated in Appendix A. Notice of Violation.

In accordance with Section 2.790(d) of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," 10 CFR 1

Part 2, documentation of the findings of your safeguards and security measures l

are exempt from public disclosure; therefore, the Notice of Violation and the

enclosed inspection report will not be placed in the Public Document Room and

will receive limited distribution.

We have determined that the enclosures so designated contain Safeguards

Information and therefore are subject to the controls of 10 CFR 73.21.

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject .

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
