Dear Mr. Wiley:
i Enclosed is the final report of the Follow-up IMPEP review of the Nebraska Radiation Control F
_ Program. The review of the Nebraska program was conducted by an interoffice team during
- the period September 16-18,1997.- The follow-up review covered the State's response to, and resolution of,15 recommendations made during the July 1519,1996 IMPEP review.
The review team found the State's performece in responding to and resolving the 15 recommendations within the State's scheduled "Get-Well Plan' completion date of July 1,1997, to be satisfactory with the exception of Recommendations 6 and 10. Recommendation 6 discussed the need for the State to develop comprehensive administrative and technical procedures. This area was identified as one of the primary root causes for the significant deficiencies found in the program during the previous 1996 iMPEP review, Recommendation.
10 specifically discussed the need to develop procedures for responding to allegations. The team concluded that overly optimistic assumptions and inexperience by program management and staffin the A0reement State program contributed to the underestimate of the time and r4 sources required to complete the 'Get Well Plan." Additionally, NRC recognizes the State's efforts to provide a timely response to two of the recommenda L ns made by the team at the exit briefing with the State: (1) development of a new schedule for completion of the written procedures, to be provided within two weeks after the completion date of the onsite follow-up review, and (2) that the State provide monthly status reports by telephone.- The State provided a new schedule for completion of the written procedures and other pending "Get-Well Plan' issues on October 1,1997, and monthly teleconferences were scheduled and conducted on October 8,1997 and November 5,1997.
Based on the follow-up IMPEP review, the MRB finds that the Nebras,ka program remains adequate to protect public health and safety but needs improvement, and compatible with -
NRC's program.
Based on the results of the follow-up IMPEP review, the next IMPEP review will be scheduled g
within one year of the date of this follow-up review.
[l Sechon 5 on page 15 of the enclosed final report presents the fo' low-up lMPEP team's recommendations. We request your evaluation and response to Recommendations 2 through 5 within 30 days from the receipt of this letter.
