January 29, 1991 MEMORANDUM FOR: Scott W. Moore, NMSS FROM: Hugh L. Thompson, Jr. ,
Deputy Executive Director for Nuclear Materials Safety, Safeguards, and Operations Support
SUBJECT:
ACTIV MILITARY DUTY l
This responds to your request of January 28, 1991 for authorization from the NRC to work for the U.S. Army in facilities licensed by.the NRC. You indicated that you are a Reservist who has been called to active duty effective February 1, 1991. You have been assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center as a Nuclear Medical Science Officer. That facility is an NRC byproduct materials licensee. You could subsequently be assigned to other military facilities and duties, perhaps even as a Radiation Safety Officer.
I am authorizing you to perform whatever duties are assigned to you by the military relating to NRC regulated activities. For conflict of interest reasons, it is NRC's policy that its employees while on Reserve Duty not perform duties for our licensees on matters falling within the regulatory jurisdiction of the NRC. This, however, is an unusual circumstance. Here you will be on active duty and will not be paid by the NRC (once your annual leave runs out). I have concluded that under the circumstances military needs outweigh any conflict of interest i considerations. This approval is premised on the condition that you not be assigned to any matters involving Walter Reed Army Medical Center or any other military facility that you are subsequently assigned for a two year period after you resume your NRC employment. I also ask that you provide a copy of this '
letter to the appropriate military officials.
I wish you well in your challenging new assignment.
