Dear Dean Streett:
Subject: Inspection No. 50-157/934)2
r
This letter refers to the announced inspection of your radiation safety and emergency
i
preparedness programs that was conducted by Mr. Stephen Holmes of this office on
November 8-10,1993, of activities authorized by NRC License No. R-80 at the Cornell
,
University TRIGA Research Reactor. Discussions of our findings were held by Mr. Holmes
with Dr. Cady and other members of your staff at the conclusion of this inspection on
November 10, 1993.
Areas reviewed during this inspection are important to public health and safety and are
described in the enclosed inspection report. The areas examined included implementation of
your emergency plan, procedures, facilities and equipment, and required drills. The
examiaation of your radiation safety program focused on staffing, radiation monitoring
equipment, surveys, training, personnel dosimetry, signs and postings. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
The Emergency plan and the radiation protection programs were being implemented in a
manner that protects public health and safety. However, as discussed in the enclosed
,
inspection report, the delineation of the health physics responsibilities for the reactor
'
operation and campus radiation protection organizations still needs to be formalized. While
no safety concerns or violations of regulatory requirements were identified, and no reply to
'
this letter is required, we would appreciate being kept abreast of your progress in this matter.
