Gentlemen:
This refers to the special inspection conducted by G. M. France, III of this
office on October 6-10, 1986, of activities at Morris Operation, to the
inspections conducted by Mr. France from July 1986 through September 1986 of
spent fuel shipments author ^. zed by NRC Special Nuclear Material License
No. SNM-2500, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. E. E. Voiland and
others at the conclusion of the inspection and at the enforcement conference
held in the Region III office on October 28, 1986.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements. We are releasing this report at this time for your
'
information. You will be notified by separate correspondence of our decision
regarding enforcement action based on the findings of this inspection. No
written response is required until you are notified of the proposed enforcement
action.
We do not object to your use of plastic to wrap your empty spent fuel casks
which have been adequately decontaminated. We understand that the plastic
l
will be used as a precaution to ensure that NRC and DOT regulations concerning
contamination levels during transport are not violated. We also understand
I
that you will investigate other engineering solutions to reduce the potential
for contamination and to improve decontamination efficiency of your spend fuel
shipping casks.
Should you desire to plastic wrap spent fuel shipping asks
which contain fuel elements, you will require prior approval by the NRC Office
of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
l
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
I
this letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document room.
