Docket No. 50-57
State University of New York at Buffalo
Nuclear Science and Technology Facility
ATTN: Mr. L. G. Henry
Acting Director
Rotary Road
Buffalo, New York 14214
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-57/83-01
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by W. W. Kinney of this office
on February 14 - 17, 1983, of activities authorized by NRC License No. R-77 and
to the discussions of our findings held by W. W. Kinney with yourself and
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspec-
tion Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These
violations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the NRC
Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register
Notice (47 FR 9987) dated March 9, 1982. You are required to respond to this
letter; and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in
Appendix A.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding these
specific violations, we are concerned about the implementation of your manage-
,
'
ment control systems that permitted the Nuclear Safety Committee to cease
!
functioning after September 1981 with violations 1 and 2 resulting. Conse-
'
quently, in your. reply you should describe in particular those actions taken
or planned to improve the effectiveness of your management control systems.
Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the violations
brought to your attention in the enclosures to our letters dated April 16,
1979, and June 12, 1979. We have no further questions regarding the steps you
took to correct the item in the April 16, 1979, letter and item B of the June
12, 1979, letter. However, with regard to item A of the June 12, 1979, letter,
you did not complete the corrective action outlined in your September 24, 1979,
letter to Region I.
This failure to complete the corrective action appears to
be a deviation involving: (1) failure to document the training of the campus
secur'ity force in radiation; (2) failure to retrain all security forces in
!
radiation protection on an annual basis; and (3) failure to document the
retraining.
This deviation is set forth in a Notice of Deviation, enclosed
herewith as Appendix B.
In your required response to this letter, we request
that you also follow the instructions in Appendix B.
