1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the review of the Florida radiation control program. The review was conducted during the period February 22-26,1999 by a review team compnsed of technical staff members from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Agreement
. State of New York. Review team members are identified in Appendix A. The review was conducted in accordance with the " Implementation of the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program and Rescission of a Final General Statement of Policy," published in the Federal Reaister on October 16,1997, and the November 25,1998, revised NRC Management Directive 5.6," Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP)." Preliminary results of the review, which covered the period March 4,1995 to February 21,1999, were discussed with Florida management on February 26,1999
[A paragraph on the results of the Management Review Board (MRB) meeting will be included here in the final report.)
4 The Florida Agreement State program is administered by the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) located in the Department of Health (DOH). The BRC consists of five sections managed by a Chief. Three sections within BRC have responsibilities for radioactive materials under the Agreement, which includes inspectors in six field offices and two counties under contract. The
' Administrators of the Field Operations Section, Environmental Radiation Labs Section and Radioactive Materials Section report to the Chief, BRC. Organization charts for the BRC and DOH are included as Appendix B. The Florida program regulates approximately 1,169 specific licenses authorizing agreement materiah. The review focused on the materials program as it is carried out under the Section 274b. (of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended)
Agreement between the NRC and the State of Florida.
In preparation for the review, a questionnaire addressing the common and non-common perforniance indicators was sent to the State on November 13,1998. The State provided a response to the questionnaire on January 21,1999. A copy of the questionnaire is included in Appendix F of this report.
The review team's general approach for conduct of this review consisted of: (1) examination of Florida's response to the questionnaire; (2) review of applicable Florida statutes and regulations; (3) analysis of quantitative information from the BRC licensing and inspection database; (4) technical review of selected licensing and inspection actions; (5) field accompaniments of six Florida inspectors; and (6) interviews with staff and management to answer questions or clarify issues. The review team evaluated the information that it gathered against the IMPEP criteria for each common and applicable non-common performance indicator and made a preliminary assessment of the BRC's performance.
Section 2 below discusses the State's actions in response to recommendations made following the previous review. Results of the currert review for the IMPEP common performance indicators are presented in Section 3. Section 4 discusses results of the applicable non-common performance indicators, and Sec: ion 5 summarizes the review team's findings and recommendations. Recommendations made by the review team are comments that relate directly to program performance by the State. A response is requested from the State to all recommendations in the final report.

I Florida Draft Report Page 2 2.0 STATUS OF ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN PREVIOUS REVIEWS l l
l The previous review of the Florida radiation control program concluded on March 3,1995.
The review consisted of an evaluation of 30 program indicators per the 1992 Policy Statement.
During the last review, two recommendations were made in the May 18,1995 letter to Dr. Richard Hunter, Deputy State Health Officer, Department of Health and Rehabilitative . !
Services. Both items were discussed in the NRC's February 14,1996 letter to Florida based on the State's June 28,1995 response letter. The team's review of the current status of the open recommendations is as follows:
- 1. We recommend that the pre-license inspection reports ard the routine inspection reports include documentation on the method (s) used for verifying that rooms in licensee facilities are under negative pressure (when required), and the results of any j measurements performed by the inspector. l Current Status: The State's pre-licensing and routine inspection reports now include the means to document methods used for verifying that rooms in licensee facilities are under negative pressure and the results of any measurements performed by the ;
inspector. The review team noted during this review that inspectors were documenting ;
independent measurements in the inspection reports. This recommendation is closed. i
- 2. We recommend that a confirmatory survey be peris ad on the OTPO Mechanik, Inc.
facility in Melbourne, Florida to determine if the for.9< . licensed facility can be released for unrestricted use. ,
Current Status: The OTPO Mechanik, Inc. facility requested termination of their license in November 1995 which included a closeout survey of the facility. The State performed a confirmatory survey in December 1995 at the facility. Based on the information l provided by the licensee and the State's confirmatory survey, the license was terminated on January 17,1996 and the facility released for unrestricted use. This recommendation is closed.
3.0 COMMON PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IMPEP identifies five common performance indicators to be used in reviewing both NRC l Regional and Agreement State programs. These indicators are: (1) Status of Materials Inspection Program; (2) Technical Quality of Inspections; (3) Technical Staffing and Training; j (4) Technical Quality of Licensing Actions; and (5) Response to incidents and Allegations.
I 3.1 Status of Materials Insoection Proaram The team focused on four factors in reviewing the status of the materials inspection program:
inspection frequency, overdue inspections, initial inspection of new licensees, and the timely dispatch of inspection findings to licensees. The evaluation is based on the Florida questionnaire responses relative to this indicator, data gathered from reports generated from the licensee databases, examination of inspection reports, and interviews with BRC staff. ,
Evaluation of Florida's inspection prior' les for the materials program indicated that the maximum period for an inspection inti.tval is four years, and 25 of the 41 licensee categories ,
established by the State have a higher inspection frequency than similar type categories listed
Florida Draft Report Page 3 in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2800. None of the State categories had a lower frequency of inspection. It was noted that the State uses discretion to increase inspection frequency (decrease inspection interval) based on licensee history and performance, but did not decrease inspection frequency for good performance.
The BRC currently uses a dBase IV software application for tracking inspection frequency, but
- will be converting to a latter generation database application in the near future. Currently, most l staff have access to the database information, but updates to, and reports from the database l are generated by the Radioactive Materials Section. Therefore, the Radioactive Materials i Section at the Tallahassee office generates, on a quarterly basis, the schedule for the l inspection groups in the field offices. A monthly status report to the Field Operations l Administrator in Tallahassee reflects a statistical update of inspections performed and those due for the quarter, and emphasizes any past due by field office and licensee name.
Inspectors in the six state and two county field offices perform inspections according to the quarterly scheduling report ganerated by the Tallahassee office. A oolicy exists for establishing l the date for the next scheduled inspection based on the date of the ast inspection and the inspection priority. BRC considers the inspection timely if it is performed by the end of the calendar quarter in which the due date falls (regardless of the priority interval). Since the inspection frequencies for routine inspections are more frequent or as frequent as those required by the NRC, the scheduling of inspections does not fall outside of NRC requirements.
In their response to the questionnaire, the State indicated that they had no inspections overdue by more than 25% of the NRC frequency. During the review, the team verified that there were l no inspections that were overdue by this criteria.
With respect to initial inspections, BRC assigns the inspection due date six months from the issuance of a new license. Since inspectors are given until the end of the calendar quarter to perform the inspection due in that quarter, this has resulted in several initial inspections being conducted outside of the six month period required by IMC 2800. ' ' the 30 initial inspections reviewed, nine were completed within six months,20 were inspected between seven and nine months, and one was within 10 months. However, the existing scheduling system maintained by BRC appears to be very efficient in tracking and scheduling initial inspections. The team considered this data and noted that the State has an established policy of performing pre-licensing visits by licensing staff and/or inspectors. This mechanism for inspecting and evaluating the initial use of radioactive material by a licensee more than adequately addresses the public health and safety concems.
With respect to reciprocity, BRC issues a general license to all out-of-State licensees that desire to operate within Florida. Holders of out-of-State licenses are required to provide three days notification of any planned use of radioactive material at a temporaryjob site in Florida.
The review team noted that the inspection of Priority 1 and 2 licensees granted reciprocity l during the review period fell short of the goals indicated in IMC 1220. However, inspection of teletherapy, high dose afterloaders (HDR) and irradiator source services, and Priority 3 reciprocity licensees, met the IMC 1220 goal in 1998.
f
! The BRC laatified that this inspection shortfall resulted from these licensees (i.e.,
l radiographersi entering, tne State to conduct licensed activities for a short time, usually 1 or 2 l
days. Field sites were somet'me9 located in remote areas of the State, making inspection of l
l
, - Florida Draft Report Page 4 l
l these licensees difficult. The review team noted, though, that in mid-1998, management placed L emphasis on the urgency of performing reciprocity inspections, ranking them just below incident response in importance, and began tracking these inspections separately from the routine inspection to place more importance on their completion. The review tean recommends that BRC continue their efforts to complete inspections of high priority reciprocity licensees in
! accordance with IMC 1220.
Timeliness of inspection con upondence issuance was evaluated during the inspection l casework review. Of 53 inspection letters reviewed by the team,31 were issued to the licensee within 30 days,20 were issued between 31 and 35 days, one at 49 days, and one at 59 days.
l The 49 day report was delayed because of communications with the licensee between the inspection and the final report, and the 59 day report was considered an outlier because of a l
' difficulty created by a mis-transfer of field notes. The review team considered the issuing of inspection correspondence timely, noting that BRC conducts approximately 500 inspections L annually, and the Tallahassee office coordinates inspection correspondence from eight field offices that serves to ensure consistency for compliance of licensed activities across the State.
Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's performance with respect to the indicator, Status of Materials inspections, be found satisfactory.
3.2 Technical QuaPtv of insoections The tear . evaluated the inspection reports, enforcement documentation, and interviewed inspectors for 24 radioactive material inspections conducted during the review period. The casework included at least one inspector from each of the eight field offices and covered inspections of various types including: medical institutions, industrial radiography, nuclear pharmacy, irradiator, academic broad scope, medical broad scope, waste processing, transportation, mobile nuclear medicine, HDR and reciprocity. Appendix C lists the inspection casework reviewed for completeness and adequacy with case-specific comments.
Currently there are 24 radioactive material inspectors operating out of six state field offices and two county offices. All inspectors are trained to perform x-ray and radioactive materials inspections.
Florida's inspection procedures are consistent with NRC procedures. The BRC tries to conduct inspections unannounced, but a majority of the time, inspections are announced a few days before the inspection. The review team noted that, of the 24 inspections evaluated,11 were unannounced. According to the BRC annual report,32% of the inspections were unannounced during 1998.
Based on casework, the review team noted that the routine inspections covered all aspects of the licensees' radiation programs. Team inspections were performed when appropriate and for training purposes.
The inspectors fill out a two-page report, called the contact form, containing licensee data, persons contacted, type of inspection, time spent for the inspection, and inspector's signature, and an inspection summary sheet, which notes any violations of regulations or license
.--,m _
'. j Florida Draft Report Page 5 conditions. The contact form, which also serves as the first page of the field notes, is forwarded to the Tallahassee office within 15 days of the inspection with the field notes and noncompliance documentation!
The contact form is reviewed and signed by the field office manager. Once received in 1 Tallahassee, the inspection coordinator reviews the inspection findings and prepares appropriate correspondence to the licensee. The !nspection coordinator contacts the inspector or office manager for clarification of the inspection findings if necessary! The Radioactive Materials Administrator reviews and concurs on all inspection correspondence. Subsequent correspondence between the licensee and the BRC is conducted with the Tallahassee office.
Inspection findings, including escalated enforcement actions, are routinely sent to the licensee around thirty days with licensee responses retumed in a timely manner. Boilerplate language is used to generate compliance letters and violations to ensure consistency. Responses are reviewed and replied to in a timely manner. The inspection files were generally found to be complete and in good order. The review team noted that in two cases, the inspection docuinentation maintained in Tallahassee did not include field notes or the inspection report. l In one case, the inspection report was prepared by the field office but was not sent to the Tallahassee office along with the contact form and in the second case, no field notes were prepared by the field ofue. As noted in the previous section, this mis transfer affected the timely preparation of inspection correspondence to the licensee. The review team recommends that the field o'fices transmit field notes to the Tallahassee office to facilitate the preparation of timely correspondence to the licensee.
l Field notes have been developed to cover most types of inspections that are conducted by the 1 3RC. These field notes provide documentation for the scope of the licensees' program and cover all areas that need to be reviewed. The information contained in the field notes is comparable with NRC's inspection Procedure 87100. ;
The review team noted during the review of casework that the Jacksonville and Polk County offices developed their own field notes for the inspection of a waste processor and a panoramic irradiator, respectively. Other field offices are using existing field notes customized by each inspector for panoramic irradiators. BRC's inspection procedure manual does not include field notes for these types of licenses due to the small number of licensees in the State. The review team recommends that BRC incorporate the field notes for the inspection of waste processing and panoramic irradiator licensees in their inspection procedures manual.
Inspection accompaniments are most frequently performed by the field office manager. Senior inspectors also accompany less experienced inspectors, particularly for training purposes. In addition, the review team noted that the Field Operations Admlnistrator will accompany field office managers. Field office managers are required to perform a minimum number of x-ray and material inspections each year to maintain proficiency. The review team noted that inspectors are accompanied at least once a year.
The Field Operations Administrator visits a field office each quarter on a rotating basis to attend a quarterly staff meeting and if necessary perform an annual office audit. Otherwise, the field office manager performs this annual field office audit.

Florida Draft Report Page 6 i The BRC has an adequate supply of survey instruments to support the current inspection program. Appropriate, calibrated survey instrumentation such as GM meters, scintillation detectors, ion chambers, and micro-R meters were observed to be available in the Field Offices )'
and in the Orlando Environmental Laboratory. The Environmental Laboratory provides support to the program through radiological analyses of environmental samples and samples taken by inspectors during inspection activities, and environmental dosimetry around nuclear facilities. ,
The laboratory also has a calibration facility that provides low and high range calibration of I portable instrumentation used by local governments during emergency exercises, and portable j instrumention utilized by the BRC inspectors. Instrument repair and calibration are also available from the instrument manufacturers as needed. Instrumentation and a mobile laboratory are also available for responding to incidents as needed. The program has the capability for analyzing all types of environmental media, and evaluation of all types of radiation.
During the weeks of February 1 and 16,1999, a review team member performed six ;
accompaniments with inspectors from each of the State's field offices. The inspections l Included a private nuclear cardiology facility, two radiopharmacies, a private brachytherapy facility with an HDR unit, and two institutional nuclear medicine facilities. These 1 accompaniments are also identified in Appendix C. During the accompaniments, the Florida inspectors demonstrated appropriate inspection techniques and knowledge of the regulations.
The inspectors were well prepared and thorough in their reviews of the licensees' radiation safety programs. Overall, the technical performance of the inspectors was excellent, and their ,
inspections were adequate to assess radiological health and safety at the licensed facilities.
Based on the IMPEP evaiuation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's performance with respect to the indicator, Technical Quality of Inspections, be found satisfactory.
3.3 Technical Staffino and Trainina issues associated with this indicator include the radioactive material program staffing level and ataff turnover as well as the technical qualifications and training histories of the staff. To evaluate these issues, the review team examined the State's questionnaire responses related to this indicator, conducted interviews with BRC management and staff, and reviewed workload for backlog. /
The BRC staffing level was stable over the review period. There are currently 54 people with various degrees of involvement with the Florida radioactive materials program, equivalent to about 20 FTEs to the Agreement program. This staffing level does not include clerical support staff. Of the 15 people in the Tallahassee central office,10 individuals are involved with licensing full time, with the temsining five persons in management and support contributing about 30% of their time to the materials program. The remaining 39 persons are distributed among six field offices throughout the State. The inspectors spend about 18% of their time performing materials inspections, with the balance of time dedicated to x-ray equipment inspections. During the review period, three people left the Tallahassee office and two new people were hired. For the field offices,13 positions were vacated and 10 of those positions were filled during the review period. Currently, three field office positions are vacant, and there is no intent to fill them in the immediate future, justified by the decreased frequency of required
- x-ray equipment inspections.
. _ . . _ __ _ _. ____________.m___ ___
Florida Draft Report Page 7 l The BRC also has contracts with Polk and Broward Florida counties to perform material and x-l ray inspections. Three inspectors are employed by the two counties. The counties are paid for each inspection they perform and receive a portion of the annual fee for each licensee in the county. Although the BRC does not direct administrative control over these inspectors, they receive the same training and are required to follow the same inspection and incidence
! recponse guidance as the State field offices.
Due to the relatively low tumover rate for a program this size, the staff consists of experienced personnel, with newer personnel mostly in the inspection area. Among the materials program staff, there are three with associate degrees, with the remainder having bachelor degrees or
! higher, with several people with multiple degrees. A recent re-designation of the health physicist positions to environmental specialist positions re-evaluated staff qualifications because the new positions require a bachelor degree or equivalent; the incumbents with associate degrees and experience were found to be bachelor degree equivalent.
Based on the lack of backlogs and the quality of the licensing actions and inspection reports, l the team concluded that the number and distribution of staff appear to be adequate to maintain l the program.
1 l
Training for licensing and inspection staff is similar to recommendations developed by the NRC
- Organization of Agreement State Joint Working Group; Because a majority of staff has been with the BRC for a number of years beyond the review period, training records reviewed showed extensive accumulation of both NRC and BRC training courses. New personnel receive a combination of training modalities n they become available. For instance, general health physics training is provided through hc ne study courses, in-house training material, computer based training, university-based training (Universities of Florida and North Carolina),
licensee and vendor-based training (i.e., cancer institutes, Syncor, Troxler), and professional meetings. BRC also uces NRC courses, depending on availability of courses and training funds. i l
Before performing an inspection independently, inspectors visit licensees' sites to observe ,
inspections and become a lead inspector with an accompanying senior inspector or supervisor. I Since each field office inspection team has a manager and a senior inspector, lead inspectors 1 are accompanied frequently, often several times in one year, on various categories of licensees.
l A good practice noted by the review team consisted of a basic health physics training module that was assembled and presented by the BRC staff. Because of the large and diversified staffing of the Florida program, BRC selected several staff members to submit topics in health l
physics for a five-day training program for BRC staff. Preparation consisted of video recording ,
the instructor practice sessions, for self-cntique and improvement on the course presentation.
l Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the team recommends that Florida's performance with j l
respect to the indicator, Technical Staffing and Training, be found satisfactory. !

i Florida Draft Report Page 8 3.4 TechnicalQualityof Licensino Actions The review team examined completed licenses and casework for 25 licensing actions, ,
representing the work of eight license reviewers. The license reviewers and Radioactive I Materials Administrator were interviewed to supply additionalinformation regarding licensing !
decisions or file contents.
Licensing actions were evaluated for completeness, consistency, proper isotopes and quantities used, qualifications of authorized users, adequate facilities and equipment, and operating and emergency procedures sufficient to establish the basis for licensing actions. Licenses were reviewed for accuracy, appropriateness of the license and of its conditions and tie-down l conditions, and overall technical quality. Casework was evaluated for adherence to good health
_ physics practices, reference to appropriate regulations, supporting documents, peer or supervisory review, and proper signature authorities. The files were checked for retention of necessary documents and supporting data.-
The licensing actions reviewed included the following types of licenses: academic, medical and
- research and development (both broad scope and specific), industrial radiography, radiopharmacy, commercial service, large irradiator; self-shielded irradiator; portable and fixed gauges; and HDR/ teletherapy. Licensing actions included three new licenses, twelve amendments, seven renewals, and three terminations. A list of these licenses with case-specific comments may be found in Appendix D. i All licensing actions are logged into a computer tracking system, assigned a control number, and reviewed by the Radioactive Materials Administrator who assigns each action. Monthly tracking reports are generated and reviewed. After an initial review, each licensing action, including the cover letter, is printed in draft, and then reviewed by a second, qualified reviewer or manager, and then by the Radioactive Materials Administrator. Reviews are documented (initialed) on the draft and sent to the Administrative Assistant. The Administrative Assistant confirms the proper review, prints the final for signature, and malls the license to the licensee.
Each manager and the Radioactive Materials Administrator keeps documentation of the reviews. Boilerplate licenses as well as standard conditions for each type of amendment are used to generate all licenses and amendments thus ensuring a standard license / amendment.
For all renewals, program staff verify corporate status via intemet connection to the Florida Department of Corporations. Alllicense reviewers have signature authority.
The review team found that the licensing actions were thorough, complete, consistent, and of high quality, with health and safety issues pr v lyeraddressed. Tie-down conditions are backed by information contained in the file, and are inspectable. Deficiency letters clearly state regulatory positions, are used at the proper time, and identify deficiencies in the licensees' documents. Terminated licensing actions are well-documented, showing appropriate transfer and survey records. License files are complete and well organized. The program uses a combination of NRC and State regulatory guides, in addition, a number of additional guidance documents are used. Checklists for each categorv of license are used and kept with the license file. These documents are complete, well organized, available to reviewers, and appear to be followed.
l
l l .
Florida Draft Report Page 9 i Except for new licenses ht only involve a change in ownership, pre licensing inspections are i conducted for all new apim, ants. These inspections are conducted normally within five days sHar the applicant is prepared to receive material or when the licensing action is complete.
After the pre-licensing visit, the license is normally issued within a few days after the receipt of the contact form in the Tallahassee office from the inspector. If there are unresolved issues, the licensing section will address them with the applicant and reschedule the pre-licensing visit.
The program processed 5381 licensing actions during the review period. These consisted of 436 terminations,482 new license applications,571 renewals, and 3,892 amendments. Based on the files reviewed, actions were completed in a timely manner and complete. The review team noted that three license renewals and one termination that have been pending for extended periods without a written response by the program. This matter was discussed with BRC management to ensure thet these actions are given higher priority to ensure timely completion.
Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's ,
performance with respect to the indicator, Technical Quality of Licensing, be found satisfactory. l l
3.5 Resoonse to incidents and Alleaations In evaluating the effectiveness of the State's actions in responding to incidents, the review team examined the State's response to the questionnaire regarding this indicator, evaluated selected incidents reported for Florida in the " Nuclear Material Events Database" (NMED) against those contained in the Florida files, and evaluated the casework and supporting documentation for 12 material incidents. A list of incident casework examined, along with case specific comments, is l
contained in Appendix E. The team also evaluated the State's response to 10 materials allegations, five of which were referred to the State by NRC during the review period.
The review team discussed the State's incident and allegation process, file documentation, the State's equivalent to the Freedom of Information Act, NMED, and notification of incidents to the NRC Operations Center with BRC management and staff in Tallahassee and personnel in the Emergency Response Group under the Environmental Radiation Labs Section in Orlando.
When notification of an incident or an allegation is received, the Emergency Response Group Manager and staff at the Orlando office discuss the initial response and the need for an on-site l investigation. The safety significance of the incident / allegation is evaluated to determine the l
type of response that BRC will tale
- and to ensure that the appropriate field of' ice is notified.
, After the investigation is completed, the pertinent information is forwarded to the Radioactive Materials Section at the Tallahassee office for close out approval and appropriate follow-up/ enforcement actions.
The BRC has written guidance (SOP 1) for handling incidents and allegations. Although the State had no specific guidance for reporting to NMED or reference to the ' Handbook on Nuclear Event Reporting in the Agreement States" in SOP 1, the staff was familiar with and followed the guidance contained in the Handbook. After a review of the incidents and discussions with staff, the review team found that all reportable materials events were appropriately reported to the NRC Operations Center. Approximately 575 other incidents that also occurred in the review period were voluntarily reported to the NMED system. SOP 1 also contains guidance on the handling of allegations. Although this guidance lacks the level of detail
Florida Draft Report Page 10 l 1
that is in NRC Management Directive 8.8, (e.g., the State has no definition specified for the term " allegation") the State does take prompt and appropriate action in response to the l concems raised.
The 12 incidents selected for review, out of the 136 submitted as reportable incidents, included radiation alarm events at waste facilities and steel recyclers, damaged portable gauge l equipment, stolen radioactive material, loss of control of radioactive material, l misadministrations, and a radiographer overexposure. The review team found that the State's responses to incidents were complete and comprehensive. Initial responses were prompt and 1 well-coordinated. The level of effort was commensurate with the health and safety significance. l l Inspectors were dispatched for on-site investigations when appropriate and the State took l suitable enforcement action. The review team found the documentation of the response and l follow-up to incidents consistent and that incidents were followed up at the next inspection or in a timely fashion. The team did note that the documentation of incident close out was not i consistent. The majority of the incident close out memoranda did not contain a management !
signature or date.
During the review period, there were five materials allegations referred to the State by the NRC and numerous other allegations reported directly to the program. The review of the State's allegation files indicates that the State took prompt and appropriate action in response to the concems raised. All of the allegations reviewed were appropriately closed, however the documentation of the closure was inconsistent in the same manner as that for incident close j out. The review team also noted that allegations were treated and documented in the same i manner as incidents. The team noted that, in accordance with State law, no measures exist to protect allegation related information except for medical records and social security numbers.
The review team recommends that BRC revise SOP 1 to incorporate the requirements and process for NMED event reporting and allegation handling as provided in the Appendix to OSP Procedure SA-300 ' Handbook on Nuclear Event Reporting in the Agreement States" and NRC Management Directive 8.8, " Management of Allegations," respectively, including the required l
documentation and management approval for closing out incidents and allegations.
Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's performance with respect to the indicator, Response to incidents and Allegations, be found satisfactory.

4.0 NON-COMMON PERFORMANCE INDICATORS I l
IMPEP identifies four non-common performance indicators to be used in reviewing Agreement l State programs: (1) Legislation and Program Elements Required for Compatibility; (2) Sealed l
Source and Device Evaluation Program; (3) Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Program; and (4) Uranium Recovery Program. Florida's agreement does not cover the uranium recovery program, so only the first three non-common performance indicators were applicable to this review.

4.1 Laoislation and Proaram Elements Reouired for Comoatibility 4.1.1 Loaislation Along with their response to the questionnaire, the State prov ded the review team with the opportunity to review copies of legislation that effect the radiation control program. The currently effective statutory authority is contained in Chapter 404 of the Florida Statutes. The statutes were revised in 1997 to designate the Florida Department of Health as the State's radiation control agency. The BRC, Division of Environmental Health, DOH implements the
, radiation control program.
4.1.2 Proaram Elements Reauired for Comoatibility The Florida Control of Radiation Hazard Regulations, Chapter 64E-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), applies to all ionizing radiation. Florida requires a license for possession and use of all radioactive material including naturally occurring materials, such as radium, and accelerator-produced radionuclides. Florida also requires registration of all equipment designed to produce x-rays or other ionizing radiation.
The review team examined the State's administrative rulemaking process and found that the process takes three to six months from the development stage to the final filing with the Secretary of State, after which the rules become effective in twenty daye. The regulation adoption process is provided in Chapter 1S-1 of the FAC. The public, the NRC, other agencies, and all potentially impacted licensees and registrants are offered an opportunity to comment during the piecess. Comments are considered and incorporated as appropriate before the regulations are finalized, approved, and filed with the Secretary of State. The State can adopt other agency regulations by reference which has been done with respect to transportation regulations adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the NRC, and the U.S. Postal Service regulations that were in effact on May 15,1996. The State also has the authority to issue legally binding requirements (e.g., license conditions) in lieu of regulations until compatible regulations become effective.
The team evaluated Florida's response to the questionnaire and reviewed the status of regulations required to be adopted by the State during the review period. The review team noted that following the Agency's reorganization under the Health Department, the regulations were recodified on July 17,1997 as the Control of Radiation Hazard Regulations (CRHR),
Chapter 64E-5, FAC. Following the recodification, the CRHR regulations were updated on May 18,1998 to be compatible with NRC regulations with the adoption of NRC regulations as follows:
" Timeliness in Decommissioning of Materials Facilities," 10 CFR Parts 30,40, and 70 l amendments (59 FR 36026) that became effective August 15,1994.
" Frequency of Medical Examinations for Use of Respiratory Protection Equipment," 10 f CFR Part 20 amendment (60 FR 7900) that became effective March 13,1995.
i w: - ,-- v,->
Florida Draft Report Page 12 o " Low Level Waste Shipment Manifest Information and Reporting," 10 CFR Parts 20 and 61 amendments (60 FR 15649 and 25983) that became effective March 1,1998.

e NRC's letter to the State dated November 24,1997 identified two comments from the review of Florida's adoption of the 10 CFR Part 20 requirements. These comments related to: (1) the State's definition of " Occupational dose' [64E-5.101(93)); and (2) the State's use of the term "pfanned exposure" instead of " planned special exposure" in the Occupational Dose Limits for Adults (64E-5.304(b)(2).

" Transfer for Disposal and Manifest; Minor Technical Conforming Amendments,"
10 CFR Part 20 amsndment (63 FR 50127) that became effective November 20,1998.
The State acknowledged in a letter dated December 23,1997 that the Part 20 equivalent
- regulations were oversights and that their regulations would be amended. During the review, the State related that the above regulAtlons were being developed as a package and that the 2 adoption process would be initiated during this calendar year. The State has deferred the
- medical regulation update untR the final version of 10 CFR Part 35 is published which is ,
1 expected by June 1999. The team noted that except for the OSP letter concerning minor l discrepancies on the State's adoption of the 10 CFR Part 20 equivalent regulations and the
- medical regulations due in 1998, that the State has adopted all regulations and elements i needed for compatibility. The review team recommends that the State complete adoption of the l revisions to Part 20 to correct discrepancies identified in NRC letter dated November 24,1997.
It is noted that Management Directive 5.9, Handbook, Part V, (1)(C)(lli) provides that i regulations required prior to September 3,1997, should be adopted by the State as i expeditiously as possible, but not later than three years after the September 3,1997 effective
- date of the Commission Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility, i.e., September 3, 2000.
Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's 4
performance with respect to the indicator, Legislation and Program Elements Required for 3
Compatibility, be found satisfactory.
4.2 Sealed Source and Device (SS&D) Evaluation Proaram
- - 4.2.1 Technical Quality of the Product Evaluation Proaram j During the review period, three Sealed Source and Device (SS&D) certificates were issued by
- the State. One certificate was for non-Atomic Energy Act (AEA) material and the other two SS&D certificates were reviewed and are identified in Appendix F.
! Review of the files and interviews with the staff confirms that Fiorida follows the recommended i' guidance from the NRC SS&D training workshops. The registration files contain all correspondence, photographs, engineering drawings, radiation profiles, and results of tests conducted by the applicant. In addition, the SS&D review checklist received at the NRC SS&D
- workshop is used to help assure all relevant materials are submitted and reviewed. The j checklist is contained in the registration file. The State indicated that the guidance in NUREG-l 1556, V.3, issued September 1997 will be utilized for any future reviews. All pertinent American National Standards Institute (ANSI Standards), Regulatory Guides, and workshop references l
1
- . 1 Florida Draft Report Page 14 were confirmed to be available and are used when performing SS&D reviews. The Radioactive Materials Administrator related that non-AEA reviews are performed in the sarne procedural manner and using the same references as used for AEA sources and devices.
4.2.2 Technical Staffino and Trainino The Radioactive Materials Administrator conducts the SS&D reviews and is in the process of training other staff in the review of sealed sources and devices. The Radioactive Materials Administrator and the BRC Chief both have attended the SS&D workshops sponsored by NRC and both individuals have had many years of experience reviewing license applications. The Radioactive Materials Administrator also has advanced degrees in physics and both managers have many years of experience and training in health physics. Both individuals are considered fully trained for licensing and inspection under the common performance Indicator, Technical Staffing and Training. The team found that the SS&D reviewers work together closely when conducting a review and discuss lasues and concerns they have identified in an application.
The BRC is committed to maintaining a high degree of quality in their SS&D reviews and would, if necessary, send their reviewers for additional training or seek assistance from outside sources.
4.2.3 Evaluation of Defects and incidents Recardina SS&Ds No incidents related to SS&Ds occurred during the review period, nor were there any defects reported.
Based on the IMPEP evaluation criteria, the review team recommends that Florida's performance with respect to the indicator, Sealed Source and Device Evaluation Program, be found satisfactory.
4.3 Low. level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) Disoosal Proaram in 1981, the NRC amended its Policy Statement, ' Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through Agreement" to allow a State to seek an amendment for the regulation of LLRW as a separate category. Those States with existing Agreements prior to 1981 were determined to have continued LLRW disposal authority without the need of on amendment. Although Florida has LLRW disposal authority, NRC has not required States to have a program for licensing a LLRW disposal facility until such time as the State has been designated as a host State for a LLRW disposal facility.
When an Agreement State has been notified or becomes aware of the need to regulate a LLRW disposal facility, they are expected to put in place a regulatory program which will meet the criteria for an adequate and compatible LLRW disposal program. There are no plans for a LLRW disposal facility in Florida. Accotdingly, the review team did not review this indicator.
5.0
SUMMARY
As noted in Sections 3 arid 4 above, the review team found Florida's performance to be satisfactory for all of the indicators. Accordingly, the review team recommends that the MRB find the Florida Agreement State prograrn to be adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's program.

We made no significant changes to our written inspection procedures. We did made slight revisions to our inspection guides to make them easier to use and to coincide with the numbering changes that occurred when our rules were moved to Chapter 64E-5, Florida Administrative Code.
- 8. Prepare a table showing the number and types of supervisory accompaniments made during the review period. Include:
Inspector Supervisor License Cat. Date See Attachment 1.
- 9. Describe intemal procedures for conducting supervisory accompaniments of inspectors in the ,
field. If supervisory accompaniments were documented, please provide copies of the documentation for each accompaniment.
We base supervisory accompaniments on training, auditing and inspection needs as well as the availability of time. As supervisors train their staff, they accompany them on a variety of license inspections. The senior inspector (environmental specialist 111) in each area office assists the supervisor with training and accompaniments. Following the training, supervisors audit the staff and then allow them to conduct independent inspections. Once trained, supervisors often accompany staff to assist with the inspection and provide coaching and mentoring.
- 10. Describe or provide an update on your instrumentation and methods of calibration. Are all instruments properly calibrated at the present time?
Vendors perform some calibrations or portions of calibrations. Staff from our calibration i laboratory perform all other calibrations using procedures specific to the type of instrument. All instruments in use are calibrated properly.

For each, list the courses or equivalent training / experience they need to attend and a tentative schedule for completion of these requirements. .
All inspection and licensing staff have met the qualification requirements necessary to review l
and inspect most radioactive material license categories. For the few licenses that are unique, the senior licensing staff and inspectors receive additional specific training. We base licensing and inspection staff qualification requirements on a combination of in-house training and the education and experience that the individual brings to the job. Records of in-house training, NRC sponsored training and workshops as well as other privately sponsored training are available for review on each employee. Supervisors from each program and field office are 4 responsible for insuring staff have the necessary skills to conduct radioactive materials license reviews and inspections. Staff receive knowledge and skills through supervisory ;
accompaniments, senior inspector accompaniments, supervised on-the-job-training, peer and supervisory reviews, and in-house training courses. We audit staff to insure competency.

- 17. Discuss any variances in licensing policies and procedures or exemptions from the regulsilons granted during the review period.
j A. Exemption issued to authorize the medical use of F-18 labeled FDG to be administered j prior to FDA issuing an INDINDA. FDA has since issued an NDA.
8 B. Patient Release Criteria Exemption: Eye plaque 1-125 seeds made in'o an eye plaque 2
that is stitched to the patient's eye. This is a temporary implant. To ieduce medical 4
expenses, the patient is released to a hotel across from the hospital with instructions.
~
The patient time with the seeds implanted is 3-10 days. See file 1813-3 for specifics.
C. Quality Management Program: Exception required due to FDA approved double blind restenosis studies in femoral arteries called the P.A.R.I.S. study involving Ir-192 HDR vascular procedures D. Quality Management Program: Exception required due to FDA APPROVED double blind studies on the effectiveness of using 1-192 wire in treating restenosis of the cardiovascular system with a U.S. Surgical Corporation device.
E. Quality Management Program: Exception required due to FDA approved double blind studies on the effectiveness of using a Sr-90 source train in a "Novoste Beta
- Catheterization" System for brachytherapy procedures in treating vascular restenosis.
F. One microcurie C-14 urea capsule exemption. NRC new class of exemptions
" Radioactive Drugs" allowed.
G. Exemption from s 1on 64E-5.402(6)(g), Florida Administrative Code, regarding ANSI N432-1980 test enteria for guide tubes used with industrial radiographic exposure devices. Licensee (originally RML #1219-1, EG&G Florida, Inc.; now RML #2953-1, i Wyle Laboratories, Inc.) uses custom rigid guide tubes made from materials similar to
) those used by Amersham Corp., and designed and fabricated similar to Amersham's Engineering Test Plan for rigid guide tubes. Tube is used only in limited instances where i use of a flexible guide tube is less efficient and results in higher doses to radiographic ,
personnel. Licensee's personnel follow approved procedures to ensure safe operations.
14 i
i
o H. Exemption from section 64E-5.402(5), Florida Administrative Code, regarding radiographic equipment performance requirements for use of an industrial tomography device employing a cobalt 60 source for incustrial radiography. Exemption originally granted to RML #1219-1, EG&G Florida, Inc.; now RML #2953-1, Wyle Laboratories, Inc.
I Device underwent a safety evaluation and was approved for use as an industrial l gauging device (see NR-0628-D-130-S), but actual use is industrial radiography. Device was designed originally for use as a calibrator then converted into a prototype tomography system. Device appears to comply with ANSI N432 requirements except for endurance test, which requires 20,000 cycles, while device was tested at only 10,000 cycles. However, the requirement was designed to test rad!ographic exposure devices subject to greater wear and impact than the unit in question; the source does not move outside the device, and ese of the device is confined to an approved permanent ridiographic installatior e Jpped with a visible and audible alarm system. In addition, the unit has functioned s at incident for more than 12 years
- 1. Exemptions from section 64E-5.402(5), Florida Administrative Code, regarding radiographic equipment performance requirements granted to licensees in possession of devices loaded with Iridium 192 or cobalt 60 sources having activities high enough for effective use beyond the 1/1/96 Implementation date for the new requirements. All exemptions were of limited duration (< 1 year), providing time for licensees to use the ir-192 sources until their activities decreased below effective use levels, and to allow time to find replacement equipment meeting the new requirements. At this time, all devices have been replaced and this exemption no longcr exists.
- 18. What, if any, c'hanges were made in your written licensing procedures (new procedures, updates, policy memoranda, etc.) during the reporting period?
We made no changes to our written licensing procedures.
- 19. For NRC Regions, identify by licensee name, license number and type, any renewal applications that have been pending for one year or more.

4 e negative pressure.
- b. Department staff performed a closeout survey of Opto Mechanik, Inc., License 1326-1, on December 15,1995.
- 26. Provide a brief description of your program's strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses should be supported by examples of successes, problems or difficulties which ,
occurred during this review period. !
- a. Our inspection program has a number of strengths:
- 1. A comprehensive training program using in-house expertise
- 2. An extensive peer review system that promotes quality and consistency
- 3. An experienced inspection staff with long term experience both in the state program and in health physics
- 4. A professional, courteous and helpful staff willing to assist other programs and other inspection offices.
- b. Our licensing program has a number of strengths:
- 1. Management reviews every licensing and inspection action for technical and procedural accuracy before being sent to the licensee. This ensures that actions are in accordance with established procedures and policies and helps identify areas where additional training is needed.
- 2. To ensure statewide uniformity in the inspection findings, every inspection finding and corrective action is generated by a headquarters staff member and receives management review for technical procedural accuracy before being sent to the licensee. This also identifies areas where additional inspection training is needed.
- 3. Department staff visit new licensees before issuing a license to ensure facility, staff, and equipment are in place to receive radioactive materials.
- 4. Staff are encouraged to attend up to two professional meetings a year paid by the bureau for continuing education. These include meetings to the Health Physics Society and Association of Physicists in Medicine.
- 5. The program has retained staff with a diveia background for an extended time; this provides knowledgeable and trained personnel.
- 6. The licensing program has received the Davis Productivity Award for the last 4 years for innovations that result in performing more work with no increased resources.
- c. The incident response program has the following strengths:
- 1. Area inspection staff, located throughout the state, respond quickly to incidents.
- 2. The program provides initial and following up training for responders to assure a high level of skills. The program updates standard operating procedures used by responders quarterly.
- 3. There is strong management involvement in incident response. Each report is coordinated through both the incident response and the licensing programs with close communication with the responder.
- 4. Both the laboratory in Orlando and the mobile laboratory provide expedient identification of incident radioactive materials. The radioactive materials storage area 17

(
. 1 k
at the laboratory in Orlando helps the bureau decide what to do with incident radioactive material. ;
- 5. The mobile laboratory and sample preparation vehicle enable a quick sustained response to a major incident anywhere in the state.
The bureau has developed procedures that help address the many alarms that occurred in I waste dumps. Most of these alarms are caused by medical waste that decays quickly or over a few months. Inspection offices that responded to these types of alarms now have 55 gallon ,
drums with liners and secured lids to store for deesy and discarding this radioactive material l
instead of sending it to the radioactive materials storage area at the laboratory in Orlando. At I the two locations where most of these alarms are generated, the operators of the waste dumps l now have procedures that allow the owners to dump and sort through any loads that set off the l radiation monitors so that our staff only need to respond when a significant source is located.
