Dear Mr. Bellamy,
In accordance with 10CFR35.21 we hereby request that Mr. Robert E. Chase, be assigned as the Radiation Safety Officer upon the departure of Mr. Peter Cornetta. Mr. Chase has served as the Project Manager for the decommissioning of this site and prior to that was the Chief of the Risk Management Office.
The only radioactive sources remaining at this facility are the fission chambers containing uranium-235, the exempt check sources, some naturally occurring radioactive sources and waste to be disposed of in the near future. None of these items pose an external radiation hazard. The uranium-235 has already been packaged for shipment. At this time it is uncertain as to whether these sources will be returned to the Department of Energy prior to Mr. Cornetta's departure.
Questions concerning this request should be addressed to Peter Cornetta at (617) 753-3816. Mr. Chase's resume is enclosed.
