Radioactive Materials License No. 0145-37: Request to Release General Atomics' Building 31-1 to Unrestricted Use and Delete it from GA's License
Dear Messrs. Gaskin and Wesley:
As you are aware, General Atomics (GA) is in the process of decontaminating, and obtaining the release to unrestricted use, certain ofits facilities (i.e., facilities for which GA has no plans for conducting future activities involving the use of radioactive materials). Most
. recently, GA completed the decontamination and final surveys ofits building number 31-1.
Building 31-1 is on GA's Main Site. It is located north of GA's Building 25 (liquid Elter station) and northeast of Building 30 (Linac Bldg).
Building 31-1 consists of Ove rooms. These rooms were used as laboratories, offices, SNM and source material storage vaults, and as a control room for a critical assembly that had been previously located in a nearby building (Bldg 31-2). The total area of the building 31-1 footprint is 2
~1700ft,
The results of GA's extensive final radiation and contamination surveys, measurements, f
sampling, and analyses demonstrate that its Building 31-1 meets the NRC-and State-approved criteria for release to unrestricted use. These results are documented in the enclosed report titled,
" Final Radiological Survey Performed at General Atomics' Building 31-1," dated August 25, 1999.
