' Washington, D.C. 20555 Gentlemen:

Saxton Nuclear Facility Operating License No. DPR-4 Docket No. 50-146 Saxton Technical Reports Enclosed for your information are two (2) recently completed technical reports on soils-related subjects at the Saxton facility. These reports were completed under contract with Westinghouse Corporation using scientists from the Geoscience and Nuclear Engineering Department of Pennsylvania State University.

The first report is entitled " Geologic, Chemical, Radiometric and Geotechnical Studies of. Samples from Eleven Drill Holes in Surficial Materials, Saxton Nuclear Facility, Saxton, Pennsylvania". The purpose of this study was to examine representative samples of the surficial materials that are present around the facility. Detailed physical, chemical, radiometric, and geological tests were conducted. The results of this study provide an excellent understanding as to the nature of the materials around Saxton. It must be noted that this report details the results of a materials characterization-type study and was never intended to be used to " map" all areas of contamination at the site.

The second report, " Report on Drilling and Radiometric Analysis of Samples Collected at Sites of Spent Resin and Liquid Waste Tanks, SNEC Facility, Saxton, Pennsylvania", details the results of the drilling of holes at the sites of former underground tanks which could have contained radioactive niaterials. Generally, small amounts of reactor related radionuclides were found from the surface to bedrock. Bedrock nominally occurs at about 14 feet below grade at the site.
