Our procedure review at NNRC is now complete.
Those procedures listed above are the ones that have been either revised or drafted in response to our review.
With these procedures in hand, it is felt that in
- general, these are adequate to ensure control of GTRR operations.
We still have j
several procedural areas we are addressing; completing instrument calibration, completing
- bioassay, and completing l
training.

[
Page 4' As discussed with you by telephone on February 9, 1989, we shall finish addressing these issues by February 28, 1990.
It is my understanding that this extension of time for procedure completion'is acceptable.
During the procedure review process, a new procedural format was adopted which we felt was more effective and provided better control.
Adapting procedures to this new format is a slow process since the Nuclear Safeguards Committ7e' evaluates reformatted procedures as if they had undergone technical revision.
Approval of reformatted procedures averages approximately 'five per month, and consequently, completion of procedure formatting will take some time.
Should you have any questions please let me know.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
