l October 8, 1990 Dr. R. A. Karam, Director Neely Nuclear Research Centar Georgia Institute of Technology Dear Dr. Karams 4

I regrat that I must offer my resignation from the position of Nannger, Office of Radiation Spfaty and Senior Research Scientist offective November 2, 1990 After carefull consideration I feel that it is impossible for me to work effectively within the structure of the radiation safety program at Georgia Tech. I believe that the Manager, office of Radiation Safety (M.O .R.S . ) lacks sufficient operational freedom to adequately conduct the radiation safety  ;

program. Specifically, health physics staff appear to be under the dual control of the H.O.R.S. and the facility Associate Director. On a personal basis, I have been discouraged from j

==Mng even minor decisions without first consulting you and Dr. l Revnin. I also object to suggestions from yoursplf and Dr. i Revsin that I should not, in the future, document observed l regulatory violations or proposed program improvements.

1 I cannot, in good conscience, take responsibility for a program whose priorities I cannot set and in which I must comprcmise my professional judgments. .

Sincerely, 7 [.-,I Q
