UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION qs WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 JUL 2 9 Tm Docket No. 70-3073 License No. SNM-1999 Mr. John C. Stauter Kerr-McGee Corporation Technology and Engineering Division P.O. Box 25861 Oklahoma City, OK 73125

Dear Mr. Stauter:

SUBJECT:

KERR-MCGEE JULY 6, 1993, REQUEST TO M0W A CONTAMINATED AREA ON THE CUSHING SITE AND RELEASE A PORTION OF THE CUSHING SITE FOR UNRESTRICTED USE The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (staff) has reviewed Kerr-McGee's letter of July 6,1993, in which Kerr-McGee made two requests: (1) to mow contaminated areas of the north tank farm, for the purpose of fire safety, prior to Kerr-McGee assigning a permanent Radiation Safety Officer (RS0) to the Cushing site, and (2) to survey four portions of the Cushing site and release these portions for unrestricted use.

The special work permit for mowing is acceptable, assuming that all applicable requirements of Kerr-McGee's license for the Cushing site (SNM-1999) are met. Mowing in the north tank farm may be added to the three Cushing site activities involving radioactive material that Kerr-McGee committed to limit itself to, in a May 12, 1993, letter to the staff, until a permanent RSO is hired. No activities involving radioactive material other than the three listed in the letter of May 12, 1993, and mowing the north tank area should be performed without prior staff approval.

Regarding your request to survey and release four portions of the Cushing site for unrestricted use, the staff requires a final survey plan containing significantly greater detail than was provided in the "Special Work Nrmit for Unaffected Area Survey" enclosed in Kerr-McGee's letter of July 6,1993.

Appendix C to NUREG/CR-5849 provides guidance on the content of an acceptable final survey plan.

Please submit a final survey plan containing the information recommended in NUREG/CR-5849.

In particular, provide a detailed justification for designating the areas as unaffected. Any surveys performed prior to NRC approval of a final survey plan are done so at Kerr-McGee's risk.

If survey data collected prior to NRC approval of the plan are not in compliance with the plan that is ultimately approved, NRC may find the data unacceptable.
