March 2,19')8 MEMORANDUM TO:
Paul H. Lohaus, Deputy Director Office of State Programs (ori. signed by FCombs, for)
FROM:
Donald A. Cool, Director 9
Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS
SUBJECT:
IMPEP SESSION AT 1997 ALL AGREEMENT STATE MEETING i
This responds to your memorandum dated February 23,1998, on the above subject.
The Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety concurs without comment on proposed responses circulated in your memorandurn. With respect to issue 1, our response follows.
ISSUE:
"A review team of experienced Agreement State personnel and one experienced NRC staff [ member) should review NRC's SS&D program. The review could identify practices that may benefit the Agreement States and would provide independent review of that portion of the NRC's program for which some experienced Agreement State personnel are uniquely qualified to perform."
RESPONSE: NRC supports and welcomes this proposal. An IMPEP-like review should be conducted, with the ensuing review interval determined based on the team's findings. One implementation hurdle may be in finding an NRC participant from an organization outside the group being reviewed. but this is not critical from our perspective. We support the use of an IMPEP-like review in terms of general methodology and review criteria (as stated in Management Directive 5.6). We suggest that OAS contact the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards directly to arrange the schedule and mechanics of such a review, CONTACT:
