President Sub, ject: Organiz nal Arrangements / Radiation Safety ec: H. Bourne, T. Stelson In reviewing the organizational aspects of the recent contro versy surrounding safety a Nuclear Research Center, it is apparent that some misunderstandings exist regarding responsibilities, supervisory, and reponing relationships surmunding the Radiation Safety and the Nuclear Safeguanis Committee.

[Stelson to Boume,5/27/87 'The Radiation Safety Officer would have the authority to repon independently to you (as President of Georgia Tech) on any matter of urgent need c bypassing all organizational structure. This is the same as current practice."]

l In addition to immediate reporting of emergencies to the Office of the President, a monthly summary of related incidents should be forwarded. The Director of the Neely Nuclear Research Center, like a line managers dealing with radioactive materials, reports to the Nuclear Safeguards Committee in the area of safety.

In terms ofreponing res obligation exists for the reporting of all safety violations, dangerous condinons,ponsibilities, and potential problems to the Nuclear Safeguards Committee as well as to the appropriate line manager, regardless oflocation in the Georgia Tech organizational stmeture.

{

urgent, dangerous, or unresolved situations ofimponance, the Office of Radiation Safety has an l

obligation to repon and inform their direct supervisor, the Director of the Neely Nuclear Researth l

Center, and/or the Vice President for Research, and/or the President.

The attached organization chan is intended to represent these points.
