SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/92-17)
This refers to the inspection conducted by E. B. Pharr of this
office on June 1-5, 1992.
The inspection included a review of
activities authorized for your H. B. Robinson facility. At the
conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with
those members of your staff identified in the report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the
report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selec
tive examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in
progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activi
ties appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as speci
fied in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The viola
tions are of concern because they appear to indicate a lack of
attention to detail for certain radiation protection activities.
In particular, the failure of Health Physics (HP) supervision to
provide adequate oversight of contractor compliance with site HP
requirements is a concern. The failure of licensee personnel to
properly monitor for contamination is an additional concern since
the issue was also identified during a licensee self-assessment
during May, 1992, but was not resolved satisfactorily to prevent
recurrence.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding the
specific matters identified in the enclosed Notice, we are
concerned about the implementation of your contractor technician
training program that contributed to development of the situation
as specified in the enclosed Notice. Closely associated with
Violation A is a concern that inadequate training was provided
for the contract Decontamination Supervisor, in that he was not
specifically trained to perform the task, nor in the appropriate

procedure. Consequently, your response should describe those
particular actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness
of your program.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the
instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your
response.
In your response, you should document the specific
actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent
recurrence. After reviewing your response to this Notice,
including your proposed corrective actions and the results of
future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC
regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the
NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are
not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Manage
ment and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1980, Pub. L. No. 96.511.
