Inspector Follow-up Item (500/85-20-01):
Developing procedures for aerial monitoring.
The applicant has developed Procedure RC-EM-9,
"Helicopter Operation in Support of Emergency Environmental Surveillance."
This procedure describes the minimum equipment required on board the helicopter and provides for exterior contamination surveys.
Use of the helicopter is intended only to qualitatively define the plume boundaries.
The procedure does not specify a contamination survey of the pilot (non-CPRL personnel)
prior to releasing him, nor does the survey require any special attention to the helicopter air intakes.
Although not reviewed, maps for use in the helicopter have been developed and coordinated with the pilot and the Environmental Coordinator.
A new radio had been installed in the EOF to be used for communication with the helicopter.
Broadcast will be in the clear vise in scrabble mode as is the practice with the ground field teams.
The radio communication was not demonstrated during this inspection.
