i FROM: Vandy L. Miller, Chief Material Licensing Branch Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety 1

SUBJECT:

REQUESTFORTECHNkCALASSISTANCE 4 R. M. WESTER AND ASSOCIATES, INC. r i

- This is a reply to Bruce Mallett's technical. assistance request dated .

] May 17, 1985 concerning R. M. Wester and Associates, Inc. application for a new license to perfom waste broker activities. As we discussed t with Dr. Mallett, we believe that the Wester application has major ,

l deficiencies. This is an unusual application, and it is difficult to convey by letter all of the deficiencies. Dr. Mallett agreed that it may be more appropriate for Region III staff to hold a pre-licensing

{

meeting with the applicant to explain NRC's position and to detail-1 the infomation which must be submitted.

Several important items which Wester and Associates need to address

! as part of their application concern 10 CFR Part 51 (environmental

information), radiological contingency planning, verification of Wester's authorization to transfer materials to a waste burial site, and the length of time materials will be held for decay prior to disposal as ordinary trash. Other less significant deficiency items are too' numerous to list in detail. However, Wester and Associates should provide complete and detailed information concerning his equipment ~and facilities, training j

programs, the operating and emergency procedures workers will follow for all operations including waste transportation, and instructions to customers.

l It is our understanding that a letter has been sent to Wester and Associates I

[ requesting additional infomation for much of the above and that Dr. Mallett had discussed the problems with the applicant by telephone.. Please contact i us if we can be of further assistance. .
