Letter, February 19, 1987, P.
S. Ayres to Director, Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards
Dear Mr. Stohr:
This letter is in response to reference (a) and your associ-ated letter dated July 22, 1987.
When it became apparent that the June 15, 1987 date for the i
L completion of Phase 2 of the formalization program for j
NNFD-RL's radiation protection program could not be met, the new date of August'3, 1987 was set.
Reference (b) explained the circumstances which prevented the NNFD-RL from achieving the first comp.'etion date.
Phase 2 was completed on August 3,
1987.
The planning phase for completion of Phase 3 of the formalization program is in progress at this time.
To prevent further deviations, an increased emphasis is being placed on selecting completion dates that include consider-ations for unforeseen work loads that could prevent comple-tion on the specified date.
If a completion date cannot be met on schedule, the NRC will be notified prior to the date, advised of the reason the date cannot be met, and requested to approve a later completion date.

e-Mr. J.
Philip Stohr August 20, 1987 Regarding NNFD-RL's failure to complete all corrective action associated with the
- December, 1986 inspection violation 70-824/86-06-02 and stating that full compliance had been
- achieved, it was the Research Lab's understanding that full compliance meant that the regulation or license condition that had been violated was no longer being violated.
Addi-tional action to prevent further violation was considered to be action that would prevent another similar violation and not part of achieving compliance for the identified viola-tion.
In the future, full compliance dates will include completion of this additional action necessary to prevent a
similar violation.
In the specific instance of violation 70-824/86-06-02, full compliance will be achieved by September 11,
- 1987, with the implementation of the procedure described in Paragraph A.4 of the
Response
to Notice of Violation attached to Reference (c).
I declare to the best of my knowledge that these statements are true and accurate.
Sincerely, 1
U T4 k.
