Dear Sir:

This refers to your report dated 1-13-82 on your inspection of the Dow TRIGA facility December 7-10, 1981. -

We wish to submit the following information and ask that the report be modified before it is placed in the Public Document Room:

1. Section.11, Radioactive Effluents, states: " Solid wastes, mainly- [

, decayed semples, are disposed of under NRC By-Product License No. 12(sic)- -

00265-06 which permits incineration. About one 55-gallon drum of wastes *

,' from the reactor operation is incinernted each year". ,

Actually, no mate. rials from the TRIGA are disposed of by incineration under the By-Product License #21-00265-06. All radioactive wastes from the TRIGA _

operation are currently disposed of as solids through burial at Barnwell, South Carolina. _

2

2. Section 9, Radiation Control, refers to the Dow Radiation Protection Manual as the source of the statement that " Ionization chamber instruments are calibrated quarterly", and states "the licensee agreed to change the _

quarterly frequency definition in the manual to agree with the standard quarterly definition of 92 days plus 24 days".

Since your visit here Tracy Persons has had an NRC inspection, concerned -

with the by-Product Materials License #21-00265-06, during which the

, calibration timir.g was discussed. As a result Tracy is now in the process. -

of rewriting the section on calibration in anticipation of a license._

  • renewcl application due in 1983. Some meters, based on experience of usage and past calibrations, may go to semi-annual or some other calibration ' .

intervals. In the license renewal application the calibration interval will be defined.

. .. 7 3, M

, Mr. K2nnath Ridg:way United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ' January 26, 1982 We would appreciate having you delete the specific reference to "90 days plus 221 days" and substitute a statement to the effect that the By-Product License is being amended to re-define the calibration periods.

In a telephone conversation on 1-19-82 Mr. Duane Boyd suggested to C. W. Kocher that item 1) above could be satisfactorily modified by removing the paragraph which discusses incineration of wastes. We agree.

The Reactor Su'p'ervisor, Dr. Kocher, will be pleased to provide any further information you may require.
