Dear Mr. Taylor:

But for a breakdown in our word processor, you would have hadChapter II on Monday, March 11, 1985.

I have just acquired a copy of a memorandum dated March 1, 1985,and apparently circulated on March 5,1985, from C. M. Vaughan, Manager,Regulatory Compliance, to W. W. McMahon, Manager, Quality Assurance,with copies, among others, to Sheely, number two in command of theChemet Lab. I have underlined the portions that are of particularinterest and significance.

CIn my opinion, the most damning admission is on Page 12 where 1*mVaughan admits that the Company considers NRC's investigations super- Fsoficial. One could hardly expect so authoritative a corroboration of our , M.charges in the Petition and Chapters I and II thereof. I

Your immediate action is urgently requested.

Very truly yours,

Failure to Samole Potable Water for Caliform Bacteriao

State drinking water regulations require that the plant potablewater supply be sampled quarterly and that the sample beanalyzed for coliform bacteria. The analytical result must bereported to the State by the 10th of the following month.

The required sample was not collected during the fourth quarter1984 as a result of it being erroneously dropped from asampling senedule.

We have notified the State of the missed sample and we haveposted a notice to this effect on the official bulletin boardsas a notification to the consumers, e.g. em p layees . We are notexpecting any adverse reaction from the State since it is asingle miss and measurement values routinely confirm that thewater meets standards.

A cursory review of the document bythe NRC prior to transmittal to the I AEA proved satisfactory.NFMD can expect a visit from IAEA and NRC personnel in Maren tobegin negotiations fcc a Facility Attachment which willidentify specific commit.T.ents between NFMD and the IAEA fo rreporting purposes.

Therefore, ef fective February 22, 1985, normal blueprintservices will be supplied on site. Arrangements for completionof large requests will require cost justification.and handlingwithin the requestor's section.

o Incinerator,

Incinerator operation continues to be ma rg inal . Recent burnshave shown an average of about 34 boxes per burn. The recentadjustments to the measurement system have red u ced , but noteliminated, the negative bias. This means that, in most cases,there is more uranium in the incinerator than the measurementsystem shows. In recent burns this bias has varied from about+5.0 to -16 kgs. (Negative values mean e, undJrestimate of theuranium in the systems.) The average value fo r recent burnshas been about -6 kg s for the primary measurement system, andabout -7 kgs for the diverse measurement system.
