- SUBJECT: NPC INSPECTION REPORT 150-00017/97-02

- Dear Mr. Olivier:

On July 7,1997, the NRC comp'sted the onsite portion of an inspection of activities

performed by Gulf Coast inspection, Inc., (GCl) in areas under NRC jurisdiction,

specifically, in federal waters off the coast of Louisiana. - The inspection included

interviews with GCI employees and a review of pertinent records related to radiography

work your company has performed on laybarges working in offshore Outer Continental *

Shelf (OCS) federal waters. A preliminary briefing was conducted with your radiation

safety officer on July 17,1997, and a final telephonic exit briefing was conducted with

__

<

you on November 7,1997. The enclosed inspection Report 150-00017/97 02 documents

this inspection.

The inspection identified two issues which are being categorized as unresolved items

pending further NRC review. An unresolved item is defined as an item in which the NRC'

_

,

needs additional information in order to determine compliance. The first unresolved item i

involves GCl conducting radiographic operations in federal waters without filing an NRC

Form 241 with the Commission, or without first notifying the Radiation Prottiction Division,

State of Louisiana as specified in 10 CFR 150.20. The second unresolved item involves

the use of radiographic equipment in federal waters which had been approved for use by

the State but did not meet NRC equipment performance requirements as specified in 10

CFR 34.20 for use in areas under NRC jurisdiction._ We are not seeking a response from

you concerning these items at this time. The NRC is reviewing the unresolved items in

conjunction with the State of Louisiana Radiation Protection Division. We willinform you

of the outcome of our review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
