Chipley, FL 32428

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 150-00009/96-17

Dear Ms. Peel: *

This refers to the inspection conducted on November 5,1996, at your Chipley,

Florida facility. The purpose of the inspection was to follow up on your use

of byproduct material at Eglin and Tyndall Air Force Bases, Florida, areas of i

exclusive Federal jurisdiction, without an NRC license. At the conclusion of ^

the onsite inspection, the findings were discussed with you.

]

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within I

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records and interviews with personnel.

I

Based on the results of this inspection, one apparent violation was identified

and is being considered for enforcement action in accordance with the " General

Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement

Policy), NUREG 1600. The apparent violation is of concern because the failure

to file.for reciprocity prior to engaging in licensed activities in areas of

exclusive Federal jurisdiction denies the NRC the opportunity to inspect and

ensure that the Public health and safety is )rotected. Accordingly, no Notice

of Violation is presently being issued for t11s finding. In addition, please

be advised that the characterization of the apparent violation described in

the enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review.

You will be advised by separate correspondence of the results of our

deliberations on this matter. No response regarding the apparent violation is

required at this time.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a co)y of

this letter, its enclosure, and any reply will be placed in the NRC Pu)1ic

Document Room.
