Dear Mr. Martin:

i This is in reply to the above referenced letter in which it was reported, as a result of the subject inspection that one of our activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements. Our response to the Notice of Violation, identified as Appendix A to the referenced letter, follows:

Appendix A L

10CFR70.57(b)(2) requires that a management review and audit of a licensee's measurement control program for special nuclear materials be performed at intervalsnottoexceed(12) months.

Section 4.1.4 - Internal Audits of the licensee's Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan states, in part, that the NMM will be responsible for the assembly and coordination of a management review at intervals

{

not to exceed 12 months. The objectives of the measurement control audit 1

are to verify compliance with federal regulations that are applicable to J

measurement control, the measurement control plan herein described pursuant j

to 10CFR70.57(c), and the Procedures Manual.

J l

Contrary to the above, on April 15, 1987, the inspector found that a I

managenent review and audit of the measurement control program had not been i

performed within a 12 month interval. The last management review and audit of the measurement control program had been performed on November 11.- 13 and 19, 1985.

The 1985' audit was' started and completed in mid-November of that. year.

The 1986' audit was started on December 1,1985 two weeks after the required: start date..The two week delay is attributed to personnel' changes which took place at about the time the audit.was initiated.

The audit has been completed and a copy is on file for NRC review.

review and audit of the measurement control program.

The corrective step taken to avoid further violations is to implement a scheduling calendar stating:

o Which audits, reviews and inventories are required O

and the dates they are to be completed.

The date a notice is to be sent to applicable parties notifying them of required action and the scheduled date for completion.

(This date will be sufficiently in advance of the scheduled completion..dgte al:1pWing J _ x. w e gamA._.._
