. Carolina Power and Light Docket Nos. 50-325, 50-324
-Brunswick License Nos. DPR-62, DPR-71 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on August 4-8, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved failure to insure that a high integrity container shipped for burial contained less than one percent of free-standing liquid as required by 10 CFR 61.56(a)(3) and also contained no unabsorbed oil as required by burial site license conditions.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 30.41(c). requires that before transferring byproduct material to a specific licensee of the Commission or an Agreement State or to a general licensee who is required to register with the Commission or with an Agreement State prior to receipt of the byproduct material, the licensee transferring the material shall verify that the transferee's license authorizes the receipt of the type, form and quantity of byproduct material to be transferred.

Amendment Number 41 for Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc., Barnwell Waste Management Facility, License Condition Number 52, requires that the licensee not receive -or bury oil or lubricants in any physical form.
This license condition does not prohibit the receipt and disposal of waste containing incidental or trace amounts of oil which have been absorbed, provided that the amount of absorbed oil does not exceed one percent by waste volume in a container.
10 CFR 20.311(d)(1) requires that any generating licensee who transfers radioactive waste to a land disposal facility or a licensed waste collector, shall prepare all wastes so that the waste is classified according to 10 CFR 61.55 and meets the waste characteristic requirements in 10 CFR 61.56.
10 CFR 61.56(a)(3) requires that solid waste containing liquid shall contain as little free-standing and noncorrosive liquid as is reasonably achievable, but in no case shall the liquid exceed one percent of the volume.
Contrary to the above, the requirement that waste shipped to a land disposal facility contain no unabsorbed oil or free standing liquids in excess of one percent of the volume of the waste was not met, in that on June 13, 1986, high integrity container (HIC) Number 414319-317, shipped as radioactive materials Shipment No. 0683-082A, when inspected by a State of South h
