Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection Nos. 50-272/82-08 and 50-311/82-07

This refers to an inspection conducted by a representative of the South Carolina

Department of Health and Environmental Control on January 22, 1982, of a

shipment of radioactive waste from the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. The

shipment was inspected upon its arrival at the Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc.

burial site at Barnwell, South Carolina.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in a report by a represen-

tative of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control,

which is attached to the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with this

letter. The inspection consisted of a review of shipping papers, placarding,

marking and labeling, radiation measurements, selective contamination surveys,

and examination of the packages and the tractor-trailer.

Based on the esults of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth

in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. The violation

has been categorized by severity level in accordance with the NRC Enforcement

Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register Notice (47 FR 9987)

dated March 9, 1982. You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing

your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

The violation for which you have been cited has already been the subject of

enforcement action by the State of South Carolina. On February 5, 1982, the

State of South Carolina assessed a civil penalty of $1,000.00. You were also

required to submit evidence that adequate measures had been implemented to

assure compliance with all applicable provisions of State and Federal law.

In view of the circumstances surrounding this matter, we have exercised our

discretion under the NRC Enforcement Policy and have chosen to issue at

this time the enclosed Notice of Violation.

After reviewing your response to this Notice of Violation and your proposed

corrective actions, the NRC will determine whether further action is necessary

in order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
