These were the spill of radioactive liquid in the yard of the New Radwaste

Building and the inhalation of radioiodines by a number of workers following

removal of the reactor head from the vessel.

Within the scope of this inspection, two apparent violations were identified.

The violations involved two instances of failure to follow procedures and a

failure to perform an adequate survey. In addition, weaknesses were identified

in your air sampling and analysis program. These weaknesses have been previously

identified under similar exposure con (itions. Details are provided in the

enclosed Appendix A and the enclosed report. You are required to respond to the

violations in accordance with the instructions contained in the enclosed

Appendix A.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely.
