This also refeu.to a telephone discussion on June 3,1982, between bit. Perkins and bit. E,G. Gteenman of your office and.to our Letter dated May 14, 1982, which transnitted our first quarterly Radiation Pro-

ITEM A Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel Radiation Protection be prepared and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
Radiation Protection Procedure RF-2,_ Revision 1, Radiation Work Permit Procedure, Section 5, requires the RWP 1cadman to ensure that all RWP instruc-tions are followed.
RWP No. 8415, General Clean-Up of East and West Instrument Rooms, dated May 18, 1982, required that rubber gloves, a cap, and taped coveralls be worn.
Contrary to the above, on May 18, 1982, a 1cadman, working under RWP No. 8415, did not ensure that all RWP instructions were followed.
The leadman and his co-worker wore only shoecovers and cotton glove liners as protective clothing.
