Dear Mr. Chalk:

This refers to the special inspection conducted by Mr. D. G. Wiedeman of this office on September 14, 1993, of your facilities formerly licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)&. Licensed activities were previously i

authorized by AEC Source Material. License.No. C-2210 and License No. STB-00049. The results of our findings were discussed with Messrs. M. Bien, E. Dennison, and Mrs. V. Meister at the conclusion of the 3

i inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies. areas examined during 1

the inspection. The inspection consisted of a' selective examination of.-

representative records from the former license file, observations, independent.

F measurements, and interviews with current employees of McDonnell Douglas-and l

Washington University. Based upon this inspection, we have concluded thaththe former manufacturing areas of: Buildings 32, 27,.91 and 102 were. properly-i.

decommissioned and meet the current NRC criteria for. release of facilities.for..

unrestricted use. However, it was determined that some. time during 1968 i

McDonnell Douglas had' transferred licensable qu'antities -(~500 lbs.)-of stock magnesium-thorium (4% thorium)'to Washington University. This material-has

. been in storage for'the past ~25 years in :a locked' concrete bunker'(No.35) at the Washington University, Tyson Research Center. We' discussed this issue.

with Messrs. M. Bien and.E. Dennison and it is our. understanding that this material was transferred to an author.ized < recipient, :Spectrulite ' Consortium, Illinois License No. I0 01-750-01 for disposal on September 27., 1993.:...

With" 30 days from the date of this letter, please provide this office..'th written confirmation that all magnesium-thorium ~was transferred to ans 1

authorized recipient.-

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

- this letter, the enclosures and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
