i Appendix B Management Control _

j In order to provide you with some guidance in assessing the adequacy of your management control program, the NRC Region III office provides the following as the acceptance criteria for adequate management control for materials licensees.

" Management Control" is a system instituted by management to assure that licensed activities are performed safely and in accordance with regulatory requirements (license conditions and applicable re gulations).

This will include:

a.

Delineation of duties and responsibilities of all persons involved in licensed activities, b.

Providing for indoctrination and training of all personnel performing licensed activities, specifically in those areas directly affecting compliance with NRC regulations and license conditions.

c Verification, as by checking, auditing and inspecting, that activi-ties affecting safety related functions have been correctly performed.

The verifying process should be performed by individuals or groups other than those performing the safety related procedures.

d.

Insuring continued compliance of licensed activities throughout periods during which routine activities may be interrupted, such as changes in equipment, personnel or facilities.

Because of the many variables involved, such as the number of personnel, type of activity being performed and the location or locations where activities are performed, the organizational structure for executing the management cont rol program may take various forms ; however, irrespective of the organizational structure, the individual or group responsible for this control should have the flexibility and authority to institute changes or corrections as required to maintain compliance with NRC regu-lations and license conditions.
