Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on 11-14-80 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.
3.
Purpose The purpose of this inspection was to review the groundwater monitoring practices and to reevaluate the adequacy of the groundwater monitoring program with respect to detection and quantification of any migration of radiological contaminants in the soil.
4.
Consultant Review The three (LASL) consultants identified in item 1 above, conducted a general site review, interviewed licensee representatives, and reviewed specific site data to determine or evaluate the following:
(a) identification of isotopes that could be released into the soil, their chemical and physical forms, level of activity and volume of discharge; (b) waste treatment systams, including both sanitary and chemical systems and their respective transfer, a
hold-up, and storage features; (c) the environmental monitoring systems for on-site and off-site detection, including air, vegetation, soil, surface water, groundwater, and potable water sampling; (d) analytical procedures used by the licensee for environmental sample evaluation, including sample collection, frequency of sampling, sample preparations, radiological analysis, and quality control; and (e) hydrology data relative to groundwater monitoring.
l No items of noncompliance concerning monitoring requirements in the Facility l
license were identified.

Consultant Recommendations Following the review of current groundwater monitoring practices, the consultants discussed with licensee management several recommend-ations to refine the current methods of detection of waste migration or provide more comprehensive documentation.
These recommendations will be referred to the Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safe-guards for consideration of possible licensing action.
