NOTICE OF VIOLATION Corporation of St. Peter's College Docket No. 040-09043 Jersey City, NJ License No. SUC-1576 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 12,1999, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy), NOREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR 20.1801 requires that the licensee secure from unauthorized removal or access l
licensed materials that are stored in controlled or unrestricted areas.10 CFR 20.1802 requires that the licensee control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material that is in a controlled or unrestricted area and that is not in storage. As defined in 10 1
CFR 20.1003, controlled area means an area, outside of a restricted area but inside the site boundary, access to which can be limited by the licensee for any reason; and unrestricted area means an area, access to which is neither limited nor controlled by the licensee.
Contrary to the above, as of May 5,1999, the licensee did not secure from unauthorized removal or limit access to 4.9 millicuries of natural uranium in 4 fuel slugs located in Room 9 in Pope Hall, which is a controlled area, nor did the licensee control and maintain constant surveillance of this licensed material. Specifically, four slugs of natural uranium could not be accounted for when uranium possessed under License No. SUC-1576 was prepared for shipment.
l This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
B.
10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(ii) requires that the licensee report by telephone within 30 days I
after the occurrence of any lost, stolen, or missing licensed material becomes known to the licensee, all licensed material in a quantity greater than 10 times the quantity l
specified in Appendix C to Part 20 that is still missing at this time.

Contrary to the above, on May 5,1999, the licensee determined that licensed material was missing and did not report by telephone within 30 days after the occurrence.
Specifically, the licensee determined that 4 natural uranium fuel slugs were missing. The slugs contained a total of 4.9 millicuries of natural uranium, a quantity greater than 10 l
times the quantity specified in Appendix C to Part 20.
1 This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
I The NRC has roncluded that information regarding the reason for the violations, the corrective l
actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full l-compliance will be achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket. However, you are required to submit a written statement or explanation pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201 if the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position, in that case, or if you choose to respond, clearly mark your response as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation," and send it to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
