General Atomics Docket No.: 70-734 San Diego, California License No.: SNM-696 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 2-6,1999, a violation of NRC requirernents
~,

Safety Condition S-1 of License SNM-696 authorizes the use of the conditions in Part 11, l.icense Specifications, dated July 24,1981, and its supplements.
Part 11, Section 6.1," Environmental Air Sampling," requires that composites of the environmental air sampling filters be gamma scanned monthly.
Contrary to the above, as of August 6,1999, the monthly gamma scans of composited air filters had not been performed for the previous year.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement VI)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, General Atomics is hereby required tc submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite /.00, Arlington, Texas 76011, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately l addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified l in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should l not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not i be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
If you contest this enforcement action, you should also provide a copy of your response to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. If personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information.
