Dear Mr. Hind:
As you were informed by our letter of July 26, 1984, t'o Mr. J. A. Hind, Monsanto will shut down and decommission its radioactive source manufacturing facility (SNM-567) at the Dayton, Ohio 1.aboratory. At present we plan to use the services 'of an outside contractor to accomplish the actual radioactive cleanup.
This phase of the s.hutdown is expected to commence during the first quarter of 1985.
We have reviewed Title 10, Chapter 1, Part 30.35 of the Code of Federal Regulations with respect to our specific requirements and the need for N We have determined that the work can be accomplished und and there is no need for an amendment, b i
Part 30.35 outlines actions that must be taken when the license is terminated The information required to be submitted is that derived from the final cleanup i
l and inspection.
In our case we propose to maintain our license during the i
decomissioning and work within the contraints therein contained.
the decommissioning we will then submit a request to terminate the license andUpon comple i
provide all the information required of Part 30.35.
Regarding the cleanup, once we have selected a decommissioning contractor (expected to occur by early November, 1984), Monsanto will have the c'ontractor prepare a decommissioning plan along with a schedule and promptly submit the plan to your office for information.
In our letter of 26 July, we outlined the problem of what to do with the waste and how to package it so that it will be acceptable to a proposed recipient.
It is our opinion that only with the ~ help of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will we be able to move the decommissioning waste to a government storage /
disposal site.

F; Mr. J. A. Hind 7 September 1984 The transuranic waste problem is addressed somewhat in the Proposed Rule Making published September 1,1982 (Part 150, Transuranic Waste Disposal), with the
~
coment period expiring January 30, 1984.
There it is indicated that the
~
Comission proposes to accept "AEC" and Agreement State licensee generated transuranic waste at designated Comission sites. The statement is made in the proposed Rule Making that the Comission believes that in the future, storage and disposal of transuranic waste at government owned facilities should replace disposal in licensed commercial burial grounds (which is now forbidden by the NRC regulationsanyway).
It is apparent that Monsanto' and the Comission are in agreement and we now only require a set of packaging specifications and a location to which to ship the waste. We will appreciate your advising us by no later than the first quarter of 1985 how we should package and to where we should ship the waste. We expect that between April and December of 1985, there will be about four hdndred 55-gallon drums of transuranic wa,ste generated and about 500 cubic feet of glove / remote boxes for disposal.
Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated.
