Dear Mr. Chalk:
This refers to the special inspection conducted by Mr. D. G. Wiedeman of this I office on September 14, 1993, of your facilities formerly licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)&. Licensed activities were previously .
1 authorized by AEC Source Material. License.No. C-2210 and License i No. STB-00049. The results of our findings were discussed with !
3 Messrs. M. Bien, E. Dennison, and Mrs. V. Meister at the conclusion of the I i inspection.
' The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies. areas examined during 1 the inspection. The inspection consisted of a' selective examination of .-
F representative records from the former license file, observations, independent.
- measurements, and interviews with current employees of McDonnell Douglas-and -
l 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.
