.This. refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. David D. Skov.of.this
.
3
office on August. 11-12, 1987' of activities anthorized by NRC License No.
,
Q '-
.50-02430-07 and to the discussion of_our findings held by Mr..Skov with Dr.
,p
EJerry Trojan and Dr. Edward Brown of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
, , ,
,
The findings of this inspection were also discussed on September 30,.1987
during the enforcement conference at the University of Alaska which was-
attended by you and other members of your staff, and Messrs. James
L'.
Montgomery and Robert D. Thomas of the NRC staff.
.y
,;
The. inspection was an examination of the activities conducted under your
,
license as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the
/
'
y[ ,
. Commission's rules and regulations and the: conditions of your license.
The
j
s
h
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and.
,
f
, representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the
inspector,
+
,,,
Based on the results of this inspection,.it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC. requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violatiothenclosed as Appendix A to this letter.
These
' ,
items _.have been categorized into severity levels as described in the NRC
j
Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.
'
.jinadditiontotheneedforcorrectiveactioncregardingthespecific
j
L fviolations included in Appendix A, we are especially concerned about the
+
l ef festiveness of your management control system that permitted the violations
to' occur.
'The increasing number and nature of the violations identified, during the
l
.-
inspection, indicate that the management of your radiation safety program has
I
been ineffective in preventing violations of NRC regulations.
The violations
i
of NRC requirements were particularly widespread in the use of licensed
material in those areas not associated with the Institute of Arctic Biology.

.The inspection findings' demonstrate a .need for you to institute' a: strong -
management. control. system such as.the.use of program audits or other
evaluations of your licensed activities and radiation safety program.
Consequently, in your reply'you should ~ describe those actions taken or planned
to improve the effectiveness.of the'overall. management' control, system that
Dwill assure NRC regulatory compliance. To emphasize our concern, an early
reinspection of the licensed program will.be conducted by the NRC.
