Dear Mr. Hess:

This letter transmits to you results of the initial review of the CYTRAC Topical Report. These results are enclosed (Enclosure 1). This review entailed a general review of the materials submitted against the NRC Staff paper entitled " Waste Classification Topical Report Review Considerations", dated Nov. 22, 1985. This Staff paper is enclosed for your information (Enclosure 2).

Also enclosed are copies of the NRC and Agreement State Licenses for the currently operating low-level waste disposal facilities that are referred to several times in our review.

The review of the CYTRAC Topical Report to date indicates that the classification system includes many of the more important considerations that NRC must see in such a Topical to grant approval of it. There are, however, a few important considerations that have not been adequately addressed. Thus, at this juncture of review, NRC requires responses to several concerns in order to continue review and submit additional comments and questions to you.

You will note that our review is organized according to the categories of considerations delineated in the enclosed NRC Staff paper. Please respond to the requests in the following comments in an adequate fashion:

1)

Waste Tracking Comment No.

2 2)

Quality Control Coment No.

2 3) 3 4)

Training Comment No.

-2 According to the schedule transmitted to you in December, '85, you have two months to respond to these concerns. If possible, your cooperation in responding sooner would greatly expedite continued review. There is still certain portions of the report that require detailed review. The information requested by this review is needed to complete th:s detailed review. It is clear that there will be additional questions at the conclusion of the detailed review, and anything that can be accomplished in an expedited fashion will make completion of this process go faster.

At this time, it would be useful to begin a dialogue concerning CYTRAC. Please feel free to call me at (301) 427-4787 at your convenience to discuss these or any other concerns. A useful dialogue will no doubt facilitate the continued review of the CYTRAC Topical Report.

We are, for the present, handling the enclosed comments as proprietary even though we have not yet made a determination under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790 or any other subpart of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations that the information contained in the report is, in fact, proprietary. As a general practice we transmit the initial copies of correspondence of this nature, including requests for further information, as if they were proprietary so as to avoid the possibility of inadvertently revealing information that might he sought to be withheld. In a normal, or typical case, however, we would not expect that more than a small portion of the material to be truly proprietary, and we would expect your responses to follow suit. Thus, for the sake of expediting our review, we will continue to follow this practice. At some point during t a review process, we should have a clear understanding of what informa' on is truly proprietary, and we will keep you informed of progress in this are. Your cooperation in this decision making, if your assistance is required, will be continually appreciated.

Sincerely, Derek A. Widmayer, Project Manager Engineering Branch Division of Waste Management
