discuss and review our site green tag procedures contained-in.the
.
Cintichem Radiological Contamination Control. Handbook and the-
'
nature of the violation.
~ From this work team meeting the: green
tag survey log book was revised to fully document the required
i
surveys of those items covered under.our site green-tag program.-
In addition,
an extensive survey of all items stored in' . and
outside the Butler building was perrormed by Health Physics on
March 24, 1990 to help assure: the appropriate control, . storage
j
and documentation of items released from radiation - controlled
i
areas on site.
Full compliance with this violation has been
accomplished and an increased awareness and understanding of our
,
site
green
tag
procedures
has -been
established
with -site
employees to help prevent a recurrence of this situation.
