ATTACHMENT A EXERCISE WEAKNESS Performance demonstrated by the offsite environmental monitoring team was weak as shown by the following: inadequate contamination control practices; uncertainty in operating the SAM II; and fallute to follow EG-3 in taking radiation surveys.

RESPONSE

Offsite environmental monitoring teams consist of radiation chemistry technicians (RCT's). Training to correct the identified weaknesses has been incorporated into the third quarter,1985 RE.diation Chemistry Technician Continuing Training Program. This program will specifically include training on:

1. Contamination control practices
2. Operation of the SAM II. Additionally, training will be provioed on the use of the HP-210 pancake probe for measuring airborne Iodine-131 in the field.
3. Radiation surveys in accordance with procedure EG-3.

This training of the RCT's will be completed by September 30, 1985.
