This enforcement conference was prompted by a finding
during this inspection, identified in Appendix A, which is identical in
nature to one which was identified during a previous t1RC inspection and
described in our letter to you dated October 20, 1978.
During this con-
ference we expressed our concern about the recurrent items of noncompliance
being identified within your radiation protection program and about the
capability of your management control system to implement thorough and
permanent corrective actions.
In your reply to the enclosed flotice of
Violation, you are requested to describe in detail the actions you intend
to take to improve your management controls to preclude the recurrence of
items of noncompliance.
