Background===
l
-Information was received by the NRC Region I office on July 25 and August 11, 1989 regarding alleged improper disposal or storage of i
radioactive waste at either the Combustion Engineering, Inc. or the adjacent U. S. Navy Research Station' (Prototype) sites. The purpose of this report is to document the actions taken by the inspector to 1nvestigate this allegation.
3.
Onsite Review-On August 23, 1989, the inspector visited the Combustion Engineering, Inc., Windsor, Connecticut site. All accessible unpaved paths throughout the Combustion Engineering property were traversed. The location which most closely meets the alleged description of the area in question is identified on the enclosed attachment as Location 1.
The area where the Prototype facility staged an emergency drill during late May or early June 1989 is identified as Location 2.
With regard to Location 1, as one proceeded southeast along the path, there is a gate (identified on a site map as Gate 9).
To the right of the path is the west end of Goodwin Pond and straight ahead is a slight raise over which a person looks through a fence onto the Prototype property. At that location, on the Prototype property, about 15 to 20 drums were observed. These drums contain sand and are normally used as barriers during road construction activities.
It was determined that these drums did not contain radio-active material. With regard to Location 2, no drums of any kind were observed and there was no evidence that drums were improperly stored or disposed at any time in the recent past.
However, through discussions with Prototype facility personnel, it was determined that several drums were temporarily placed in this location as a part of the scenario for an emergency drill (a transportation accident) held in late May or early June of this year.
Those drums were removed immediately following the emergency drill.
4.
Conclusions No evidence was found to substantiate the allegation that radioactive waste was being stored or disposed in an improper manner or location on either the Combustion Engineering or the Prototype sites.
5.
Licensee Discussions The inspector held continuing discussions with Dr. McGill or Mr. Rosenthal throughout the site visit.
The findings were presented as they were identified, f
