Dear Dr. Solon:
This is to confirm the comments made to you at the conclusion of the recent radiation control program review.
Based on the results of the review, the staff believes that the New York City program for control of agreement materials is adequate to protect the public health and safety and is compatible with the NRC's program.
While no serious problems were found in any program area during the review, we believe that improvements can be made in the program.
Specific comments and recomendations are enclosed.
I would appreciate your review of our recommendations and receiving your comments on them.
I appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to Messrs. Ashley and Gordon during the meeting.
Sincerely, W [.

C0iNENTS AND REC 0W1ENDATIONS ON THE NEW YORK CITY RADIATION CONTROL PROGRAM _
I.
Organization Internal Organization of Radiation Control Program is a Category II indicator. The following major item was noted.
Comment and Recommendation Examination of individual files showed licensing and inspection documents shuffled together, the presence of outdated reference materials, and numerous papers not bound to file folders. We believe this problem exists because the Bureau does not have adequately trained clerical support to maintain the files in reasonable order. We also found that professional staff members have taken it upon themselves-to improve the condition of files.
Since clerical personnel are available to the Bureau, training and responsibility should be given to at least one individual to maintain files. This will relieve professional staff of such duties and improve their efficiency.
II.
Licensing Quality Assurance is a Caterogy II indicator. The following minor item was noted.
~
l Our review of selected licensing files indicated several licenses which contained unnecessary or extraneous conditions. A more careful supervisory review of drafted licenses is needed to assure good licensing quality.
III. Compliance Independent Measurement is a Category II indicator. The following l
major item was noted.
Comment and Recommendation The Bureau's alpha survey meter is inoperable and needs to be repaired or replaced.
Instrumentation should be available and adequate for independently surveying any type of licensed operation by the staff.
