- 2. New Business. Florida Review introduction. Mr. Duncan White, RI, led the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) team for the Florida review.
Mr. White discussed how the review was conducted. Preliminary work included a review of Florida's response to the IMPEP questionnaire. The onsite review was conducted February 22-26,1999. The onsite review included an entrance interview, detailed audits of a representative sample of completed licensing actions and inspections, and follow-up discussions with staff and management. Following the review, the team issued a draft report on March 19,1999; received Florida's comment letter dated April 6,1999; and submitted a proposed final report to the MRB on May 12,1999.
Common Performance Indicators. Mr. DeCicco discussed the findings for the common performance indicator, Status of the Materials Inspection Program. His presentation corresponded to Section 3.1 of the IMPEP report. The review team found Florida's performance with respect to this indicator " satisfactory," and made one recommendation involving reciprocity inspection frequencies. The MRB, the State, and the team discussed the reciprocity inspection frequencies established in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 1220. Mr. Passetti commented that the State is putting more resources into completing reciprocity inspections. The MRB discussed the need to re-evaluate the IMPEP criteria for reciprocity inspections. The MRB suggested and the IMPEP team agreed to remove the recommendation involving reciprocity inspections from the report.
After this discussion, the MRB agreod that Florida's performance met the standard for a
" satisfactory" rating for this indicator.

i Mr. White discussed the findings for the common performance indicator, Technical Quality of Inspections, which are summarized in Section 3.2 of the report. The team found that Florida's performance on this indicator was " satisfactory," and made two recommendations. The MRB commented that the report did not reflect that safety issues were fully addressed by the State in the Technical Quality of Inspections section as it is discussed in the Technical Quality of Licensing Actions section. Mr. Woodruff indicated that State inspectors concentrated on performance and addressed health and safety issues during inspection accompaniments. Ms. Schneider agreed to update the language used in IMPEP reports to properly describe the level of health and safety issues addressed by State and Regionalinspectors. The MRB, the team, and the State discussed the recommendation involving transmitting field notes to the Tallchassee office. Due to the few instances of field notes not being properly transmitted, the MRB directed the team to remove this recommendation from the report. After a brief discussion on the State's irradiator field notes, the MRB found Florida's performance met the standard for a " satisfactory" rating for this indicator.
Mr. DeCicco presented the findings regarding the common performance indicator, Technical Staffing and Training. His presentation corresponded to Section 3.3 of the IMPEP report. The team found that Florida's performance with respect to this indicator was " satisfactory," and made no recommendations or suggestions. The team did identify one good practice involving a basic health physics training module used by the State. The MRB agreed that Florida's health physics module be found a good practice.
The MRB also agreed that Florida's performance met the standard for a " satisfactory" rating for this indicator.
Mr. Gavitt presented the findings regarding the common performance indicator, Technical Quality of Licensing Actions. He summarized the findings in Section 3.4 of the report. The IMPEP team found Florida's performance to be " satisfactory"for this indicator and made no recommendations or suggestions. The MRB agreed that Florida's performance met the standard for a " satisfactory" rating for this indicator.
Mr. O'Brien presented the findings regarding the final common performance indicator, Response to Incidents and Allegations. As discussed in Section 3.5 of the report, the team found Florida's performance relative to this indicator to be " satisfactory" and made one recommendation involving the State's incident and allegation procedures.
Mr. Passetti commented that the State does report incidents to NMED and that no performance issue exists. The issue of complete documentation was discussed with the team and the State. The MRB directed that this recommendation be revised to reflect the need for complete documentation in the State's procedures. The MRB agreed that Florida's performance met the standard for a " satisfactory" rating for this indicator.
