Dear Mr. Davis:

This refers to your letter dated October 3,1978, concerning the radiation l protection inspection,of the Ford Nuclear Reactor on September 6-8,1978 and l the item of noncompliance which resulted from the inspection.

Item of Noncompliance

" Contrary to Technical Specifications 6.5. A.3 and 4.7. A, there was no documentation to confirm that the gamma spectrometry equipment used to measure liquid waste tank l contents had been calibrated since March,1977." l

1. Corrective Action Taken and the Results Achieved. The gamma spectrometry equipment was calibrated on October 24, 1978 using an NBS mixed isotope standard and a calibration record was obtained. l
2. Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance.

A health physics procedure requiring quarterly calibration of the gamma  ;

spectrometry equipment is being written. The calibration will be l based on comparison to a NBS mixed isotope standard.

3 The Date When Full Compliance Will be Achieved. Full compliance has been achieved. The calibration procedure will be completed and implemented by Deccmber 1,1978.

Sincerely,

/n M> t #M.
