SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 70-734/99-01 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Edwards:
- On August 2-6,1999, the NRC conducted an inspection at your Torrey Pines Mesa and Sorrento Valley facilities. Areas examined during the inspection included emergency preparedness, environmental protection, radioactive waste management and storage, and transportation portions of your site decommissioning activities, inspection activities consisted of i
selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, l
and observation of activities in progress. The inspection also included confirmatory surveys of the Group 11 Laboratories in Building 2, Building 31-1, the former Building 31-3 ground area, the Sorrento Valley Central Land Area, and various materials to be shipped to a clean landfill.
l A prelim'inary exit briefing was conducted onsite on August 6,1999. A followup telephonic exit l
briefing was conducted on September 9,1999, to discuss the results and conclusions of the confirmatory measurements. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.
Based on this inspection, activities conducted at the Torrey Pines Mesa and Sorrento Valley
. facilities were generally characterized by implementation of effective programs for decontamination and decommissioning. However, based on the results of the inspection, the l
NRC has determined that one violation of NRC requirements had occurred. The violation is i
cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding this violation are described in detail in the subject inspection report. The violation concerns environmental surveys that were not completed as required by the license. You are required to i
respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether l
further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
