Part 8.3 indicates the Radiological Protection Officer is involved in all inspecticns and audits (except the N&T In-House Inspection),
while Part 2.2.3 indicates this individual has important responsi-bilities for the program. Although the staff agrees with the need for and usefulness of the audits described in Section 8, the staffs position is that an annual audit of the adequacy of the entire effort be performed by individuals who have no responsibilities fn the activity being audited. Please revise Part 8 and provide a statement that an annual audit is performed by an audit team whose members have no responsibilities in the activity being audited.
