Our preferred course of action is to release the entire building for unrestricted use.

, B, and C-D. The licensee has stated that SNM was never used in these l cells. Region V, by memorandum dated September 25, 1984, (enclosure 1) confirmed that the State of California had conducted a survey of these cells and that their results indicated no involvement of materials under
' SNM-1405. Therefore, Region V recommended that Cells A, B, and C-D be removed as authorized places of t.se from NRC License No. SNM-1405.
Fast Spectrum Cell Region V conducted a confirmatory survey of the FSC on August 13, 1985, and by memorandum dated August 29,1985, (enclosure 2) confirmed that all areas of the facility met the NRC release limits for an unrestricted area.

Region V conducted a confirmatory survey of the HTGR vault on March 18,198C, and by memorandum dated April 16, 1986, (enclosure 3) confirmed that the vault meets the criteria for release as an unrestricted area.

B. Release of 7650 Convoy Court for Unrestricted Use ;
During 1984, IRT moved its headquarters from the Convoy Court Facility to their new headquarters located it 3030 Callan Road. Most of the SNM at Convoy Court was in sealed soue a form.

By October 22, 1984, IRT had all of the SNM moved out of 7650 Convoy Court and had performed radiological surveys of the facility and HEPA filter bank from the exhaust system. IRT's surveys indicated that these areas met unrestricted release criteria.
