Subject:
Reply to a Notice of Violation Gentlemen:
As required, we are submitting this response to the notice of violation in your letter of April 22,1998 resulting from inspection No. 070-00398/98-00. The violation was caused by a misconception that 10CFR Part 36 did not apply to the vertical beam sources controlled under license number SNM-362.
In this response to citations for 10 CFR 36.37(c) and 36.53(b), we are revising and teposting the emergency procedures. This will be in place by May 22,1998. Also, an additional radiation monitor is being installed inside the entry door that will generate a visible and an audible signal if the door is opened AND a radiation level above normal background exists. That installation should be completed by September 30,1998. Until it is operational, a portable survey meter will be used for the first personnel entry into the radiation room following an irradiation.
In the case of 10 CFR Pan 36, section 23 paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d); 3ection 27, paragraphs (a) and (b); section 31, paragraph (a); section 51, paragraphs (d), (e), and (g); and section 67, paragraph (a), we are requesting exemption to the regulations. We anticipate that the exemption request will be filed concurrently with this letter.
r If you have further questions about this matter, please contact Mr. T. Hobbs at 301-975-5800, Room i}
C125, Bldg. 245.
Sincerely, M
