If any of you or the contractors believe any of these cases should more properly be reviewed by the Region, please return them.
Some of these cases have obvious, minor deficiencies which we have not attempted to resolve so that we could provide the cases to you promptly.

l Site Historv From September 1979 to November 1990, Platina Laboratories, Inc. received
~approximately 200 lead " buttons", approximately ten pounds each for processing to recover precious metals. The buttons were contaminated with trace amounts of source or special nuclear material. Upon receipt by Platina, the buttons were melted in a dedicated furnace, then processed in three separate tanks. (#40, 41, 42) containing solutions which.would precipitate different metals. Prior to periodic discharge to the sanitary sewer system, the waste solution was sampled and analyzed to ensure compliance with 10CFR20, l
Appendix B. Table II, Cohamn 2.
Contamination surveys were performed quarterly by Teledyne isotopes during operations, and no levels of contamination were encountued.
Scone of Work:
The final site survey was perfonned in two phases. The first phase consisted of monitoring the equipment used to process the buttons for fixed and removable contamination. This was accomplished by Lou Casabona of Teledyne Isotopes on February 19,1991. The fixed contamination survey was performed with an Eberline PAC-4G gas proportional swvey meter (serial number 4146: calibrated 12/4/90), with a 50 cm probe, designed and calibrated to reveal the presence of 2
alpha radiation. Removable radioactive contamination surveys consisted of smear samples taken by wiping approximately 200 cm of surface area with an 2
absorbant material at representative areas of the room. Smears were analyzed by gross alpha counting with a gas proportional meter calibrated with a Pu-239 standard traceable to the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology.
On February 25,1991 Scott Dennerlein and Stuart Eisenstadt of Teledyne Isotopes conducted a survey in the processing area of the Platina facility in S.
Plainfield where the " buttons" were handled. The floors and walls were surveyed for direct contamination with a PAC-4G gas proportional survey meter (serial number 4146: calibrated 12/4/90), smears were taken at the locations shown on the attached diagram and analyzed as described above.
Summarv of Results Within the scope of this survey, direct contamination levels were within the background range of 20 30 counts per minute. Removable contamination was within the limits of the NRC's " Guideline for Decontamination Facilities and Equipment Prior to Release for Unrestricted Use or Tennination of License for Byproduct. Source, or Special Nuclear Material", dated July 1982. Diagrams and smear results are attached.
