This memo (JSOP-85-037) also reminded RES super-d visory and technical personnel of their responsibility for verifying worker RWP compliance.
The ALARA Supervisor was
[()

this is an isolated incident in that 71 ALARA reviews have been completed or are in progress and only one was found lacking a required review signature.
Permanent Corrective Action:
Work practice guides are being developed to provide RES technical personnel with formal guidance when monitoring more radi ignificant work activities.
Among K practice ui under development is one which con-
