t Part II -[CommitteerFindings
'The committee:has'the following' observations.to bring to Lthe: attention of the Vice Prosident, Nuclear. Power, based on its>
-activities'through January 30,'1985.
1.
$1tEsppears that many shortcomings of the Radiation Safety! Program,-identified by_the QA Auditor, have.not
' been reflecte'd :in : formal Audit ~ Reports.- The Committee
._^
~
' believes that'it would be. helpful for management'to Lhave'this information.
- 2.
LAs-aLresult of its review of the progress being made-andLehe quality of the actions being'taken~to
- implement the11mproved Radiation' Protection' Program, t's Committee' believes'that-there is evidence that at 31 east some.of~the people involved in the upgrade

The Committee believes that, to be successful-the upgraded Radiati~on Protection'. Program requires r commitment and-involvement at:a11' levels within-the
