& SERVICE BRANCH Dr. R. A. Karam, Director Neely Nuclear Research Center Georgia Institute of Technology

Dear Dr. Ksram:

I regret that I must offer my resignation from the position of Manager, Office of Radiation Safety and Senior Research Scientist effective 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 M.O.R.S. and the facility Associate Director. On a personal basis, I have been discouraged from making even minor decisions without first consulting you and Dr.

Revsin. I also object to sLggestions from yourself and Dr.

Revsin that I should not, in the future, document observed regulatory violations or proposed program improvements.

I cannot, in good conscience, take responsibility for a program whose priorities I cannot set and in which I must compromise my professional judgments. i Sincerely, (7mA Brian Copcutt, Ph.D.
