!
The conference opened with the participants introducing themselves. M j Costello stated the purpose of the conference. Ms. Johansen reviewed the ;
specific issues raised during the inspection, particularly the failure to file for l reciprocity for a number of years after filing in 1993 and if any work was 1 performed in NRC jurisdiction during 1994 and 199 Mr. White revievcer, The apparent violations concerning: 1) the failure to file for reciprocity prica ::;wforruing licensed activities in NRC jurisdiction: 2) use of a radioactive materia!s package in an impaired condition and 3) failure to mark a transpo.7 packagr, with the letters "RQ". Mr. White asked the licensee's representative; to describe how field work was assigned in 1993 compared to c:urrent procedure Mr. Herbert stated that in 1993, he owned the company along with Mr. Alex Moyseenko. During that period, Mr. Moyseenko was responsible for assigning work while Mr. Herbert spent most of his time in the field. Mr. Moyseenko was fired by Mr. Herbert in the fall of 1994 and the office manager (Mr. Herbert's daughter) became responsible for assigning field work until late 1995 when M Murray was hired. Mr. Herbert was not sure how Mr. Moyseenko became aware of NRC's reciprocity requirements in 1993, but he speculated that the general contractor for the Somerset Hospital job may have told Mr. Moyseenko of the requirement.
