Subject:
Special Inspection No. 88-82 On April 21, 1988, Mr. J. Jensen and Ms. M. Taylor of this office conducted a special safety inspection at the above address of activities authorized by the above listed NRC license.
The inspection was limited to a review of the circum-stances surrounding the accidental destruction of an NRO static eliminator device containing 3.5 millicuries of polonium-210, and the performance of surveys to verify the decontamination of the facility, i
Floor areas, the drill press and work bench, personnel clothing, and various i
l pieces of equipment, such as the blow molding machine, regrinder, and the blow molding machine hopper, were surveyed using a Ludlum Model 61 air proportional-counter. Areas of contamination were identified on the drill press, work bench, and several areas on the floor. All areas were decontaminated with tape or i
soap and water.
No additional contamination was found nor were any additional radiation levels measured in excess of background.
)
Urine samples ware taken of several workers, who were potentially exposed to the polonium-210. No positive indication of uptake of polonium-210 was found 4
i for any of the workers analyzed.
Various samples of bottles, chips, and regrind material were also sampled. While the sample analysis indicates that trace i
amounts of polonium-210 might have been incorporated in some product, both NRC and FDA do not attribute any health and safety significance to these levels.
1 However, NRC will perform additional sampling to characterize the nature of
{
this trace material.
I Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were identified, In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", Part 2, j
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed
