Dear Mr. Bobek:
Subject: Inspection No. 50-134/92-01
An inspection of the radiation protection program at your facility was conducted on
November 4-5,1992 by Mr S. Holmes. Discussions of our findings were held by Mr.
Holmes and Mr. T. Dragoun with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of this
inspection.
Areas reviewed during inis inspection are important to public health and safety and are
described in the enclosed inspection report. The areas examined included dosimetry,
instrument calibration, radiation surveys and postings, staffing, procedures and policy,
training, and Safety Committee oversight. Within these areas the inspection consisted of
observations by the inspector, selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, and interviews with personnel.
Within the scope of this review, we noted that staffing, Safety Committee oversight,
postings, and personnel dosimetry were good. However, we noted that written procedures
for some health physics operations were not formalized. Your staff agreed to review this
matter and to folloc up on an issue with potential safety significance related to the
calibration of a neutron meter. We will evaluate your actions on these matters during a
future inspection. No violations of regulatory requirements were identified. No reply to
this letter is required.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated
