, As a follow-up to your memorandum of February 2, 1984, same subject as above, l the following actions have occurred.
Virginia Tech has been given authority to use the reactor building in an unrestricted mode (see letter of February 17, 1988, T. Michaels to A. K. Furr).
Ytrginia Tech separated certain concrete blocks in the university I landfill, and made radiation measurements which show that the release criteria are not exceeded (see letter of February 5, 1988 D. Smiley to T. Michaels). The Radiation Protection Branch (PRPB) of NRR has reviewed this letter and, subject to confirmation of the readings indicated, would agree that these data would be acceptable for release of the university landfill in this '.
decomissioning action. 1 Therefo n , please schedule a survey of the Virginia Tech university landfill at your earliest convenience in order that we may proceed with the termination i l
of this license. If you have any questions please call me at 492-1102.

Dr. Keith Furr, Director Nuclear Laboratory Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Room 108 Robesen Blacksburg, Virginia 24061
Dear Dr. Fury:
\
SUBJECT:
RELEASE 0F REAC10R BUILDING FOR UNRESTRICTED USE - VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITIITE REACTOR FACILITY The NRC staff has reviewed the dismantling of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Reactor Facility in accordance with your request of Jul 17, 1986 for a termination of the Ifeense facility. The staff has found t at the i reactor building can be released for unrestricted use since the residual !
I contamination levels for the reactor building comply with Table 1. Regulatory )
Guide 1.86 and an exposure limit of 5 micro R/hr, above background at one '
meter.
The Confirmatory Radiological Survey report 3 resented to the staff, however, indicates that the buH al of waste material saving radioactive contamination below established unrestricted release limits from the reactor faellity sppears to have resulted in elevated radionuclide concentra^1ons in soil and in elevated exposure levels at the university landfill. We understand from a i
letter dated February 5, 1988 (D. Smile.y to T. Michaels) that you have !
rearranged the landfill to bring the radionuclide concentrations in the soil to within acceptable limits. However, before we can release the total facility for unrestricted use, another radiological survey will have to be i taken by the staff to confirm your results.
In the interia, you can use the reactor building in an unrestricted mode but you are still subject to your reacter license until such time as the landfill can be released with a consequent ceder which would terminate your license.
Sincerely, !
3.
