ULNRC-2983 Callaway Plant Docket Number 50-483 Designation of Radiation Protection Manager for Callaway Plant Mr. Robert E. Farnam, temporary Supervisor, Health Physics (Operations), was named as the Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) at the Callaway Plant on March 14,1994. Mr. Farnam meets the RPM i
qualifications described in Regulatory Guide 1.8, September 1975,
" Personnel Selection and 7?aining " and NUREGICR-5569, " Health Physics Positions Data Base,"May 1992.
Mr. Farnam is a 20-year veteran of the nuclear industry and is within one semester of completing the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiation Protection. With 12 years of applied radiation protection experience at the Callaway Plant, including 11 years as a Health Physics Supervisor, Mr. Farnam has the technical competence to establish radiation protection programs and the supervisory capability to -
direct the work of professionals, technicians, and journeymen required to implement the radiation protection programs. He is familiar with the design features and operation of the Callaway Plant that affect the potential for exposures of persons to radiation.
