RE: NBC Bay Area News -Hunters Point Questions -TETRA TECH REPORT Hi Diane , We under sta nd that T etra Te c h , the Navy contractor on the Hunters P oi n t project, has notified the NRC that the company mishandled soil samples and falsified survey data. According to an April 2014 report produced by Tetra Tech ti t led " INV EST I GATION CONC LUS I ON ANOMALOUS SO IL SAMP L ES A T HUNT E R S POINT NAVAL SH I PYARD ," the Navy discovered that Tetra Te c h had submitted so i l sam pl es from locations different than th e ones s p ec ified in the Final Status Survey Report for Building 517-Survey Uni t 2. The co mpan y confi nned this t o be true , and subsequent ly discovered an additional 12 survey unit s on three sites also had anoma l ous soil samp le s. According t o the r e p o rt., so me survey unit s (it doe s not specify how man y) did exhibit radionuclide concentrations above relea se crite ri a. TI1e r eport states that those areas were remediated and resampled until release criterion were met. As we understand it, this means Tetra Tech s ubmitt ed falsified soi l samp l es and found radionuclides of co n cern at levels above release criter i a in areas that the company had a lr eady remediated. W e are reque s ting the following in for m a ti on: When wa s the NRC notified about this? What action h as th e NRC take n against Tetra Te ch in th is instance? Has the NRC ever cited Tetra Tech? If so, when and why? Ha s the NRC ever taken enforcement action against Tetra Tech? If so, when and why? We are on deadline and would appreciate a response b y Tuesday, September

RE: NBC Bay Area News -Hunters Point Questions Liz , I have attached th e inspection reports for Tetra Tech at Hunter's Point. You'll no t ice there are severa l different types of documents. When inspecting this type of license-holder , NRC inspectors have a few options fo r documenting their work For example , in 2012 , the inspector found no violations of NRC requirements. In that case , the inspector used only an NRC form (Form 591) to document the inspection and i t s results. I n 2011, the inspector documented a " non-cited violation" using an inspection report and a Form 591. I n Apri l , the inspector used the in spection report (which I've previously sent you) and inspect ion record to document the inspection. I f you need any further assistance, please let me know. 4 Diane Screnci Sr. Public Affairs Officer USNRC , RI 6 1 0/337-53 30 From: Wagner, Elizabeth (NBCUniversa l) [mai lto:El izabeth.Wa g ner@n bc un i.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 13 , 2014 12:30 PM To: Sc r enc i , Diane

RE: NBC Bay Area News -Hunter s Point Que s ti o ns E l izabeth. I am responding to the emails you sent to me as well as the message you left for Richard Chang in the NRC's headquarters office. I am declining your request for an on-camera interview. I can neither co nfirm nor deny whether a speci fi c individual has come t o th e NRC w i th safety concerns. I t's important that workers and other members of the pubhc bring safety concerns directly to the N RC at any time. Since some i ndividuals will come forward only if t heir identities will be protected from public d is closure, safeguarding the identity of allegers is an important part of our process to ens ure the vo l untary f l ow of such informa ti on. Now, having said that, the NRC is aware of issues regard ing radiological safety concerns a t Hunte r's Point similar to t h ose you asked about. As is our process , we have followed up on those conce rns as appropr i ate. As I've explained , we have a very thorough process for e v aluat in g concerns that are brought t o the agency. We determine the safety significance of allegations and the appropriate course of action t o fo ll ow-up on the co ncern s. On ce the NRC comp l etes its eva lu ation , the person who raised lh e concern is no t ified of the agency's conclusions. Our correspondence with an alleger i s not publicly avai l able.

For Navy contractors with NRC licenses, the NRC conducts routine regulatory oversight to ensure that the contractors perform their activities in accordance with their NRC license. The past several inspections specifically addressed the handling of potentially contaminated soil , and the radiological monitoring of workers. T h ese site inspections i ncluded: review of procedures , review of records and reports , observation of work activities, and interviews with site personnel. For the 2014 inspection , NRC was also accompanied by a State of California inspector. I have attached the most recent inspectio n results for your use.

Fwd: SF Chronicle: Toxic dirt from S.F. may be far and wide From th e fr o nt page of today's SF Chronicle: Toxic dirt from S.F. may be far and wide Ex-Hunters Point workers say soil went to landfills By J.K. Dineen 1 Lea h Mi lli s/ T he C h ron i cle 2016 The San Franc i sco Shipyar d development is under way at the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in 2016. B ran t War d / The C h ronicl e 2015 By 2015, condominium construction was well in progress at the former Superfund site. wi t h some tini t s comp l et ed a n d owners moving in at the Sa n F rancisco Shipyard project. 2 Ch r on i c l e fil e 1966 lhe Hunte rs Point N aval Shipyard was home to the Naval Radiolog i cal Defense Laboratory from 1946 t o 1 969. Sited farmer MuM.n PM\tNaval Shl.pya-d The scandal i n volving cheat ing in the $1 billion cleanup at the former H unters Po int Naval Shipyard ha s unt i l now focused on allegations of what was left behind at the site: radioact i ve dirt dump ed i nto t r enches to save the time and expense of testing and dispos i ng of it properly. But f ormer sh i pyard employees and environmentalists say that toxic waste removed fr om th e s i te is of j ust as grea t a concern. Soil with potentially dangerous levels of radioactive waste, t hey contend, was trucked to conventional landfills across California -the sort o f dumps that typ i ca lly fill up wi t h tree branches, construction debris and old dishwashers, no t r ad i o l og i ca l waste from a former nuclear test lab that handled uranium and p l utonium. The s h ipyard, home t o the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory from 1946 to 1969 , i s now th e site of the San F r ancisco Shipyard development project , regarded as perhaps t h e most i mportant development site in the city. It is to contain more than 10,500 housing units, 300 acres of open space, mill i ons o f square feet of retail , schools. a hotel and artists studios. Before developer FivePoint starting building condominiums in 2013, former sh i pyard employees say tha t Tetra T ech, the company that was paid between $350 million and $450 3 m i llion to l ead the cleanup of the si te , rela xed t he standards for what was al l owed to l eave the property starting in 2011. The portal monitors -radiation de t ec t ion scanners used to prevent tru c k s containing dangerous materials from exiting -were r eset t o be l ess sens itive. An area with scaffold i ng t h at a llow ed inspecto rs to get on top of the t rucks to i nspe c t sh ip ments was taken down. And wh e rea s prev i ous l y trucks that set off an alert from the port al mon i tor more t han tw ice w ould be made to dump their soil loads back on a tarp t o be retes t ed and c leaned o f dangerous materials, the new policy jus t required an employee to wa l k around th e tru c k wit h a ha ndhel d m on i tor. T hose m oni t or s rare ly detected anything becaus e the truck bed made it tough to get read i ngs, according to workers. F ormer sh i pyar d employee Susa n Andrews, who oper ated portal moni to rs i n 2010 and 2011, sa id Te t ra Tech managemen t went to extreme lengths to ensure trucks were a l lowed t o ex it, no mat t er h ow many times they set off the radiation detector. "Before 20 11 that dirt was never to leave until the radiation detected was found, contained and put in a secure l ockup box," she said. "In 2011, they changed the way they d i d bu s iness." A n drews sa i d she saw trucks leaving the yard at night after the portal where they exited was s upp osed to be c l osed f or the day -something she witnessed in January and February o f 2012 from he r co ndomi n ium on Cleo Rand lane, right above the shipyard en t rance. She was one of nine former Tetra Tech employees to raise concerns with the Nuclear Regu l ato ry Commission. She said she was laid off a short time later. "I wou l d be out with my dog about an hour after everyone had gone home, and I'd see these t r u cks f u ll of dirt -10 or 15 of them -going right by my condo," she sa i d. " I t was craz y. Where on the site t he dirt w as coming from or where it was go ing I don't know. But nothing should have been leaving af t er the portal monitor was shut down" for the night. A re cent rev ie w by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state a gencies found that as much as 97 percen t of Tetra Tech's cleanup data for two parcels at the shipyard was found t o be s uspe ct and should be retested, according to John Chesnu tt , man age r o f the EPA's l oca l Superfu n d Division. A sp ok e sman for Tetra Tech did not re tu rn a ca ll seek i ng commen t. Wh ile the N avy ha s acknow l edged the problems with the Tetra Tech work, i t conti nue s to i nsist that the materials were removed from t he site properly and safely. Derek R ob ins o n , who is leading t he cleanup for the Navy, said soil is s t ockpile d on-si t e a n d samp led to " t o se l ect t he approp riate landfill for disposal." Soil that meets bo t h rad i olo g i ca l and c h em i ca l cleanup requirements is put back into trenches on the si t e, places where s truc tu r es may later be bui l t. So i l that doesn't meet those standards is separated and either sent to a la ndfi ll that accepts specific type s of contamina t ion in the soil or to a low-level rad i oactive waste site. Some batc h es of dirt hauled off Hunters Point were tes t ed and deemed too "ho t" f o r co n ve nti onal dumps, meaning they contained unacceptably high l ev e l s o f radionucl i des li k e cesi um 137 and strontium 90 -both can cause cancer. Tha t dirt, a t leas t 4, 300 c ub i c ya rds , was transported i n watertight steel bins to Clive, Utah , one of four d i sposa l sites in the United S t a t es licensed to accept low-level radioactive was t e. T he rest of the waste, the vast majority, about 7,800 truckloads carrying 15 6,000 cub i c yards, was marked "nonhazardous" and went to conventional dumps. 4 It was h aule d t o K i rb y Canyon in Morgan Hill , near San Jose. It was transported to Keller C anyon in P itts burg. It went to a dump in Buttonw i llow, near Bakersfield, and to facil it ies in V acaville and Br i sbane owned by Recology , which collects San Francisco's household trash. Most landf i l l s also ha ve portal monitors, although e nvironm ental experts say they are u sed spo r ad i cally and do not test for radiation. If soil contaminated with radioactive ma t erial left th e sh ip ya r d s i t e wi t hout being properly vetted, it is possible it landed i n one of these l andfi ll s. Th e t i m in g of t h e c h anges Andrews observed at the po rt al is consistent with testimony from othe r wh i stle-b l owers, who say t h e ent ire culture of the cleanup changed in ea rly 2011 whe n Tetra Tec h's con t ract was restructured from " time and material" to a "firm fixed-price model." Sudden l y, the contractor had a financial incentive to complete the cleanup as quickly as possib l e because i t was wor king for a specific dollar amount. Sho rt ly after t hat con tr act change, worker and whistle-blower Bert Bowers, who was i n char g e of mo n i tori ng compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards , s a id he started to see violations of i ndustry standards -equipment left where it shou l dn't be and emp l oyees work in g without proper oversight. He complained and was la t er fired. "The in centive was th ere to cut corners and get bonuses, and I started to see t he effec t," h e said. " Th e s t andards s t arted to become compromised." A nthony Smi t h, who worked as laborer and technician at the shipyard during that time, said he a nd hi s colleagues spent months taking soil from areas known to be clean -l ike the foundation of an old movie theater -and passing it off as coming from sections of th e s i te known t o be h igh l y t ox i c. "I t came down from the high er-ups -'We're gonna ma k e this clean today. Go get a sampl e fro m t he norma l place, go get a clean sample; " Smith said. Lindsey D i ll on, a professor of sociology at UC Santa Cruz who is writ i ng a book about the c l eanup and redevelopment o f the shipyard, said it's ironic that the cham pions of the r edevelopment project cas t i t as "t he heroic story of cleaning up a t oxic mili t ary base" whi l e the wa s te tak en off the pr operty is "cr eat ing a new geography of tox ic exposure." Conve nt ional landfills tend t o be located in communities lacking economic or polit i c clout. " It's a systemic i ssue, because these landfill sites are located in particularly vulnera b le areas," said Di l l on. D on W adswort h , a hea l t h physi cis t who specializes in radiat ion safety and radioactive waste man agement services, said the classified nature o f Hunters P oi nt's history makes it hard to know what is bur i ed on t h e property. But the federal government a l located plenty o f money t o do t he job cor r ectly. 'T he probl e m you have is t ha t Tetra Tech was on a program of deceiving the c li ent and the regulators about the cond i tions on the site and the conditions of the materia l s l eaving the site," sa i d Wadsworth. "In this case, th e safety guard rails were not on l y ignored, t h ey wer e r i pped up a nd t hrown away." D aniel H i rs ch, r e tir ed d i rector of the Environmental and N uclear Policy Program a t UC San t a C r u z , said t he "r elease criter i a" govern ing waste materials the Navy set at t he shipyard were f ar l ower than they shou ld hav e been. And it is problematic that t hose standards may have be en v i ola t ed. 5 Hirsch said he has spent two y ea rs t rying to fi nd out wha t happened to the materials remove d from the shipyard. "Th e Navy have resisted and resisted and resisted, he said. "My impression is t ha t they kn e w th i s was a po tent i al problem and didn't wan t it exposed." Landfills sell material as well as accept it so it's tough to say where all mater ia l from the ship yard wound up. Hunters Po in t soil could have ended up in rura l r oads, parks or bui l ding s i tes, Hirsch said. It could have been used as *cove r" a t landfills and ended up b l own i nt o nearby neighborhoods. I t could contaminate water tabl es and irrigation used for cro ps. In add it ion, waste and u nwanted furnishings and metals such as pipes salvage d from raze d build i ngs on the si t e could be recycled. Contaminated office f u rn it ure , fenc i ng. me tal s and co n cre t e from bu i ldings all could have ended up in places where they cou l d d o ha rm to an u nsuspect i ng public. "I p redict th ose communit i es will be up in arms, and they should be," Hirsch sa id. "T hey have converted one Superfund site into perhaps many." Se ver a l of t he waste removal and re cycling companies that received soi l and debris from the sh i pyard di d not return calls. Re cology, which owns facilities in Vacav il le and Brisbane , said it wou l d review all shipments from Hunt ers Point. Spokesman Eric Potashner said his facilit i es require cus t omers to sig n a g uarantee that the soil doesn't contain contaminants that are no t acc epted, which would i n c l ude anything rad i oactive. " We ha ve a r obus t sampling and acceptance criteria for all waste that comes in t o the site," he said. Andrews, who is fr om West Virigina, said Tetra Tech should be responsible for conduc t ing tests at th e l andfills where the shipyard soil ended up. She said that her co-workers went alo n g w i th th e program because the Hunters Point jobs were the most luc r at iv e i n th e c o untry for workers in the hazardous waste r e mediation field. Th ey paid $42 an hour p lus $1,500 a wee k i n expenses. Most of the workers were from Southern sta te s where that kind o f money goes a long way. " I wa s t old t o shut my mouth , that I didn't live there, had hi t th e l ottery, that I shou l d s hut up and sa v e my money. T he more they said that , the madder I got," she sa i d. "I did care, and I d e c i ded that the people of San Francisco were worth more than my salary" J.K. D ineen i s a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.

DISCUSSED: ARB Date: Allegation Receipt Date: 08/10/2016 08/01/2016 Email received from the Cl's attorney on 8/1 in response to ack/clo letter sent 7/20 , containing concerns and questions raised by the Cl's attorney. 1. The NRC was not doing its ~b and wa 0 urning " a bl in d eye" to radiation safety issues raised at Hunter s P oint. Specifically~san Andrew sl previously raised the concern about chain of custody records and NRC did nothing with this infotfuation. T his is one examp l e o f concerns that were raised by in 2011 , 2012 , and 2013 to the NRC i nspector and " went nowhere". Security Category: NIA 2. NRC is more interested in protecting itself due to current informatio n showing a failure of oversight than p r otecting the public. Cl feel s that the repeated referencing of jur i sdiction at Hunters Point is a part of this effort to protect the NRC and those who work for the NRC that were to provide oversight of Hunt ers Point and Tetra Tech. Security Category: N/A 3. Cl wants NRC to explain NRC's geographic jurisdiction at Hunters Point , and explain why the Acknowledgment Letter (" Concern document") to the C l is so focused on geographic jurisdiction and seems to ignore the issue of license oversight jurisd i ction.

I am concerned that the repeated r e fer e ncing of jurisdiction is part of this effort to protect t he NRC and t h ose w h o work for the NRC that were to provide oversigh t of Hunt ers Point and Tetra Tech. I am hoping the NRC wi ll reali ze the need to take a proactive effort t o get thing s ri gh t at Hunter s Point , rather than focusin g on protecting i ts admi ni strative butt. Please a l so explain the relevance of geographic jurisdiction at Hunters Point when infonnation shows that a company with an NRC license has been r eported a s intentionally and fraudulently s ubmitting documents to the government [Navy] about remediation of radioactive materials. It wou l d seem to me that the :fraud involving rad material and fraudulent reporting to the government wo uld both be of concern to the NRC due to the NRC i ss ued licen se to Tetra Tech. Please explain to me why it is th at the "Concern" document is so focused on geographic jurisdiction , and see m s to ignore the issue of license oversight jurisdiction. Due t o my concerns, I want to go over these itemi z ed "Concerns" for accuracy and completeness. At present [ need additional inform at ion on the issue of juri s diction to respon d.

ENCL0SURE1 Concern 1: In the NBC news article, your client ind i cated tha[fu~uperv i sors ordered h i m to replace potentially contaminated soi l samples w i th clean samp l es. During his interv i ew with the NRC , your cl ient indicated that the ma j ority of soil replacements happened outside of NRC jurisdiction. However. one example occurred in Parcel G, which is under NRC jurisdiction. Your client stated tha~ccompanied by another (named J CblCZ)(C} I took soi l samples from a trench under~ath Building 351 A One of the samples was above elease c riteria. Your client e ed a meetin where the artici ants include (b)(l)(C) (b)(7)(C) and othe f (b)(7)(C) I At that meeting {b)(7){C) vise your c 1en o ge "-:::'a-=c:r:: e~"" ample ," because otherwise they would have t o reme 1a e with a ~pecial machine due to asbestos in the area , and getting that machine back would " be too expensive. Concern 2: In the NBC news article , your client i ndicated thalb~upervisors instructed him to dump potentially contaminated soil into open trenches across Hunters Po int. Durinfhisl in t erview w ith the NRC , your client clarified that the potentially contaminated soil was collectea-rl-om Parcel E , replaced with " clean soil," and dumped into trenches a lso located in Pa rcel E , which is outside of NRC regu l atory jurisdiction. Concern 3: In the NBC news article , your client in d ic ated tha f~supervisors forced h im to sign falsified documents (cha in of 8-li~ody forms for soil samp les) that were l ate r submitted to the government. Our i n~~nterv i ew w i th the NRC , your client stated that these chain of cus t ody forms were for samples obtained in Parcel E. H owever, your clien t also sta t ed t hat two othe r (b}(7)(C) names provided] were to l d to falsify chain of custody forms , and they worked in areas un er NRC jurisdiction.

• For your information , the NRC is in the process of finalizing our enforcement response for similar iss ues identified at Hunters Po i nt pertaining to Parcel C. Specifically , the NRC transmitted an apparent violation to Tetra Tech EC , I nc. (Tetra Tech) by letter dated February 11 , 2016. The NRC identified that , between November 18 , 2011 , and June 4 , 2012 , when tasked with obtaining soil samples to ascertain the amount of residual radioactivity in specific locations within Parcel C , Tetra Tech employees instead obtained so i l samples from othe r a reas that were suspected to be less contaminated. The February 11 , 2016, letter is publicly availab l e in our Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at accession number (M L 16042A 074). Tetra Tech responded to the NRC by letters dated March 15 , 2016 (ML16090A220) and March 22, 2016 (ML16090A318). T he NRC is in the process of f inalizing our enforcement response.

U.S. NRC re: Recent May 2014 phone message s/ conversations ... Mr. Urban , As follow up to th e the subject l ine above: A voice message l eft for me on May 21, 2014 at 1 PM. detailed your advisement of the following: ... the article that was out in the paper about "Former Contractors Claim Hunters Point Cleanup Is Botched" ... a couple of things to go over ... inspector Orysia Masnyk-Bai/ey had some questions ... we were trying to make a dual call ... we 'II try to get back with ya ... if we don't hear back from you we 'II be calling you separately ... maybe you can give me a call at 610 337-5271 ... Orysia is at 864 427-1032 The following day (May 22, 2014 at 1 : 59 PM), you and I talked directly during which my preference was shared that subsequent communications with the NRC be co nducted in writing. To justify , I feel that doing so allows the enhanced opportunity for sufficiently documented detail to be clearly communicated, in particular as to what information is now needed by the NRC and why the agency is attempting to contact me after such an extended lapse in tim e. Frankly , a rationaliz ed exp l ana tion evades me and personal co n cerns build over circumstances and appearances related to radiological sa fety at Hunters Point. In particular, that which suggest the NRC's present day agenda is more on damage control/ assessment/ repair as a greater priority due to negative public scrutiny -complete with overarching licensee protection afforded those with a demonstrated history of suspect intent -who in doing so have allowed for the inexcusable compromise of general public, project staff. and environmental well being , all while making deflective and misleading representations to officials of local , state , and federal government agencies. Mr. Urban, it has been and continues to be my morally preferred and professionally correct objective to openly cooperate with you , your office staff , and representatives of all branches within the NRC. Hence , to ensure a detailed understanding during ensuing communications, please state your intent very clear l y , and document what you want from me in detail. I will conscientiously consider your correspondence in like fashion with the best interest of the general public , the Hunters Point project population, and the environment in mind as my top priority.

You stated you detailed your findings in e-mai l s to Tetra Tech managers. Response to Concern: NRC Assessment During an inspection conducted at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (HPNS) on July 21 -22 , 2014 , an NRC inspector reviewed procedures and records and interviewed personnel familiar with activities that occurred in the 2010 time frame. Included in the records reviewed by the NRC inspector were two e-mails dated December 21, 2010 , which you referred to in your concern , and the records associated w i th the investigation that was performed by Tetra Tech based on the information that you had provided to them. In your first e-mai l you stated to Tetra Tech that "Baker" tanks had l eft the site without the use of the vehicle portal mon i tor (VPM). Based on discussions with Tetra Tech personnel during the inspection , the inspector determined that , at the time o f your e-mai l s , Baker tanks were being ut i lized by various on-site contractors at HPNS , not just Tetra Tech. Tetra Tech performed an investigation into the picture you had taken , and concluded that the three Baker tanks shown in the picture were not associated with any activ i ties they were performing at the site. Specifica l ly , the picture you provided showed Baker tanks parked by a fence li ne , in an area where Tetra Tech did not store their tanks. Tetra Tech did not know which contractor was responsible for the tanks in your picture. In your second e-mail to Tetra Tech , you stated that a meta l bin truck had departed HPNS at a time when the VPM was no t in operation. The inspector rev i ewed the applicable licensee procedure for the VPM, tit l ed "Final Hunters Point Shipyard Project , Standard Operating Procedures , Gamma Screening of Trucks Using the Skid-Mounted Portal Monitor ," Revis i on 3, dated December 3 , 2008. The i nspector noted that the proced u re did not require al l trucks to be screened prior to leaving site. Rather , use of the VPM was required only for trucks that were loaded w i th so il s and debr i s , to ensure t h e contents were not contaminated. Tetra Tech's investigation conc l uded that the truck referenced in your e-ma i l appeared to be a metal recycling truck , which would not have been required to pass through the VPM. The inspector also viewed the picture of the truck , and agreed it did not appear to be a soil truck. Specifically , the inspector noted that soil trucks are open on the top , whereas your picture showed a closed truck , similar to a recycling truck. NRC Conclusion Based on the above , the NRC was unable to substantiate your concern that trucks and tanks were hauling dirt and contaminated water from HPNS through the streets of San Franc i sco and the Bay Area without being properly surveyed for radiation prior to exiting Hunters Point. 1 OFFICIAL RECORD copif Mr. Elbert G.

As Stated CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED ENCLOSURE 1 Rl-2014-A-0045 Concern: In December 2010 , when the project was supposed to be in the middle of a two-week s hutd own , you took photos of what you asserted as trucks and tanks hauling dirt and contaminated water from the Hunt ers Point Naval Shipyard through the streets of San Francisco and the Bay Area without being properly surveyed for radiation prior to exiting Hunt ers Point. You stated you detai l ed your findings in e-mails to Tetra Tech managers. Response to Concern: NRC Assessment Dur i ng an inspection conducted at the Hunters Point Nava l Shipyard (HPNS) on July 21 -22, 2014 , an NRC inspector reviewed procedures and records and interviewed personnel familiar with activities that occurred in the 2010 time frame. Included i n the records reviewed by the NRC inspector were two e-mails dated December 21 , 2010 , which you referred to in your concern , and the records associated with the investigation that was performed by Tetra Tech based on the information that you had provided to them. In your first e-mail you stated to Tetra Tech that "Baker" t anks had left the si te without the use of the vehicle portal monitor (VP M). Based on discussions with T et ra Tech personnel dur i ng the inspection , the inspector determined that , at the time of your e-mails , Baker tanks were being utilized by various on-site contractors at HPNS, not just Tetra Tech. Tetra Tech performed an . investigation into the picture you had taken , and concluded that the three Baker tanks shown in the picture were not associated with any activ i ties they were performing at the site. Specifically , the pi cture you provided showed Baker tanks parked by a fence line , in an area where Tetra Tech did not store their tanks. Tetra Te c h did not know which contractor was responsible for the t anks in your picture. In your second e-mail to Tetra T ech, you stated that a metal bin truck had departed HPN S at a time when the VPM was not in operation. The inspector reviewed the applicable licensee procedure for the VPM, titled "Final Hunter s Po i nt S hipyard Project , Standard Operating Procedures , Gamma Screeni ng of Tru cks Using the Skid-Mounted Portal Monitor," Revision 3 , dated December 3, 2008. The inspector noted that the procedure did not require all trucks to be screened prior to leaving site. Rather , use of the VPM was required only for trucks that were loaded with soils and debris, to ensure the contents were not co ntaminated. Tetra Tech's investigat ion concluded that the truck referenced in your e-mail appeared to be a m etal recycling truck , which would not have been required to pass through the VPM. Th e inspector also viewed the picture of the t r uck, and agreed it did not appear to be a soil truck. Specifically , the inspector noted that soil trucks are open on the top, whereas your picture showed a closed truck , simila r to a recycling truck. N RC Conc lu sion Based on the above , the NRG was unable to substant i ate your conce rn that trucks and tanks were hauling dirt and contam i na t ed water from HPNS through the streets of San Francisco and the Bay Area without being properly surveyed for radiation prior to exiting Hunters Point. 1 From: Sent: To:

OFFIOIAL USE OP~LV SEP~SITl\'E IHFORM,icTIOP4 This is a summary of the concerns contained in the 5/19/2014 article about Hunters Point (Naval Shipyard) Cleanup. The majority of the concerns were addressed by the NRC in R1-2011-A-0113 in response tq Susan Andrew's ~oncerns R1-2011-A-0019 in response t~ Bert Bowers , and R 1-2014-A-0028 for both. T here is one new concern from each Conce rned Individual (see bolded text below for new concerns): Attributed to" two high-level former technicians' ' in the article: 1. Remediation is not being conducted properly. 2. Cleanup is being botched and that the health and s afety of the public is at risk because of it. NRC evaluation for 1 &2: The NRC , as well as State of California , inspectors and representatives of the Navy , have conducted multiple visits to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard to o bserve the remediation process. The NRC did not identify any safety concerns or violations. 3. Failure of workers to properly secure potentially rad ioactive access. NRC response in R1-2011-A-0019

" The inspector many posted areas during the inspection All areas appeared to be proper l y posted." and " the NRC co n firmed that there have been breaches in the per ime t er fence , but the NRC was unable to identify any improprieties or inadequacies associated with NRCregulated activities. The licensee appears to act in a timely fashion to assess and repair any breaches in the perimeter fence." Also , during NRC inspections conducted on March 29-30 , 2011 , January 9-12 , 2012 , and April 7-8 , 2014 , the inspectors noted that the licensee maintained adequate control of radiologically impacted areas. 4. Promotion of unqualified personnel to senior , safety sensitive roles NRC response in R1-2011-A-0113

In response to this concern , during a Janua ry 2012 inspect i on of Tetra Tech at Hunte r s Point , the N RC evaluated the training program and qualifications of radiation workers working under the Tetra Tech materials license at Hunters Point. NR C inspectors reviewed Tetra Tech's training records and test results, interviewed radiation workers , and observed them i n the performance of their duties. The inspectors noted that Tetra Tech was utilizing two types of radiation workers at Hunters Point. Specifically , there was Radiation Control Technicians (RCTs) (i.e., Health Physicists) and support staff like laborers , drivers , construction workers , etc., all of whom received training. Tet r a Tech also provided site and task specific training for the work each radiation worker would be performing and had morning "tailgate" briefings during which radiation protec t ion concerns were discussed. In their license application , Tetra Tech had committed to ensuring that radiat ion workers we r e OFFl*1 AL l!j&E O H L¥ SE H&I TIVE n*rOR M ATIO t~ t r ained i n accordance with Appendix Hof NUREG-1556 , Volume 18 , Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance About Service Provider Licenses ," dated Novembe r 2000. During the inspection it was verified that the tra i ning given meets the requirements of Appendix H. The inspectors noted that competency of RCTs was demonstrated through written tests and practical examinations

and radiation workers were found to be trained in accordance with NRC requirements and guidance. The inspectors reviewed the training records of the individual named above , and found that the i ndividual was trained in accordance with Tetra Tech's commitments and NRC requirements.

. 1. Trucks leaving the site must pass through a porta l monitor to get screened for radiological contamination. The sensors would determine whether the soil was clean or radioactive , and ujtimately where the dirt was to be disposed of. The sensitivity of the portal mon i tor was decreased below the manufacturer

's specification. The detector alarm set point was raised to 8.5 deviations above background in 2011 from the origina l 6 deviations above background in 2008 , lowering the amount of radiation the portal monitor would detect. 2. "They can't be shipping potentially contaminated soil as clean landfill into the City of San Francisco. Documented trucks that left the site with potentially radioactive material that never passed the portal monitor. In one week in October 2011 more than 70 trucks failed the portal monitor but were still released to go off site. (NOTE: NEW CONCERN) NRG response in R1-2014-A-0028

Tetra Tech implemented the use of a portal radiation monitor at HPS. The inspector found that the monitor was properly i nstalled , calibrated , daily source checked , and operated in accordance with Tetra Tech's " Standard Operating Pro cedure , HPO-Tt-021 , Gamma Screening of Trucks Using the Stationary Portal Monitor" , DCN: ECSD-RAC-05-1230 , as required by Section 4.1.8 of the Base-wide Radiological Work Plan. The portal monitor i s a Ludlum Model 3500-1000RMW portal monitor and is set not to exceed 8.5 deviations above background. If the truck sets off the portal monitor , the truck is scanned by hand using a portable 2X2 sodium iodide detector.

Incoming trucks also pass through the portal monitor. The monitor is used to prevent the entry or exit materials conta ini ng elevated radiation levels. None of the soil from Parcel C was rejected at the portal mon i tor. The specificity of #2 , in that 70 trucks left the site in October 2011 is a new concern and the NRC will perform an inspection regardi n g truck surveys in July 2014. 3.

Assuming we can make them pub l ic al l egers, now? Taxpayers have spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on the toxic cleanup of Hunters Point, a prime piece of land a l ong the southeastern shore of San Francisco. The former naval shipyard, which was once used as a research and testing lab for nuclear weapons, is now undergoing a renaissance. The city plans to turn the 800-acre site into a development mecca complete with new parks, retail stores and homes. It is a mass i ve project that's decades in the making , but two high-level former technicians with Intimate knowledge of the remediation effort say the cleanup is being botched and that the health and safety of the pub l ic is at risk because of it. Both say they wouldn't live i n or even visit the development planned for the site. In February, the Investigative Unit exposed that current workers also question the radiological cleanup of Hunters Point.

• Workers Allege Hunters Point Dirt Needs to be Screened for Radiation

" It's playing Russ i an Roulette with the health and wellbeing of the general public, the people that handle it , and the environment," said Bert Bowers , a former radiation safety officer hired by Tetra Tech , the N avy contractor overseeing the cleanup of Hunte r s Point. He was tasked with maintaining compliance with federal mandates re l evant to radiation protection and the management of radioactive materials. Bowers has worked at nuc l ear plants and radiolog i cal remediation sites across the country , and even worked as a rad i at i o n protection officer with the U.S. Department of Energy. He said compared to other projects , w h at he experienced a t Hunters Point "was the most egregious violation of standard protocol" he had encountered in his 35-year career. Bowers claims he witnessed violations includ i ng the improper storage of radia t ion ~etection dev i ces and inadequate signage and barriers to keep the public away from potentially radioactive areas that hadn't been clea red. r1 someone from the genera l pub l ic co uld walk in , unabated , get It [con t am i nants] on their clothes , their person , eat the food ," Bowers said. " They could have had an intake of radioactive c on t aminants and it would never have been caught or avoided." In December 2010 , when the project was supposed to be in the midd l e of a two-week shutdown, Bowers took photos of what he says are tru c ks and tanks hauling dirt and co ntaminated water from San Francisco and through the Bay Area without being tested for radiation or cleared for d i sposal. He G: \o ra \a lleg\re c e ipt\2014004 5rcv. do c x detailed his findings in emails to Tetra Tech managers. "Those Baker Tanks were posted with radiologica l contents and radioactive water," Bowers said. " Surveys of water resu l ts had never come across my desk for release. Additionally , anything that leaves the site of that magnitude is supposed to go to a rad i ation detection device as part of a base wide procedure requirement established by the Navy." He said company culture changed from one in which safety was param o unt to on e that favored production and cost-savings. U l timately, Bowers said the public can't be confident that soil leaving Hunters Point and the remain i ng soil to be used as backfill underneath the p l anned development -is radiation-free. "It's been botched ," he said. "It's been botched." Standard operating procedure dictates t h at before a truck leaves the job site i t must pass through a " portal monitor to get screened for radiological contamination. The sensors would determine whether t h e soil was clean or radioactive, and ultimately where the dirt was to be d i sposed of. Porta l monitor at Hunters Point. Internal manuals obtained by the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit show that the sensitivity of the porta l monitor was decreased below the ma n ufacturer's specifications. The "detector alarm set point" was ra i sed to " 8.5 deviations above background" in 2011 from the original " 6 deviations above background" in 2008. Susan Andrews , a radiation safety technician who worked at Hunters Point under Bowers , claims that change in protocol lowered the amount of radiation the portal monitor wou l d detect. "It says they are trying to get dirt out that's contaminated that should never have left Hunters Point," Andr e ws sa i d. " It's not right. They can't be sh i pping potentially c ontaminated soil as clean landfill into the City of San Francisco. This can't be done." Even with the decrease in the sensitivity of the portal mon it or , Andrews said she documented trucks that l e ft th e sit e with potentially radioactive material that " never passed the portal monitor." She b e gan G:\ora\alleg\receipt \20140045rcv. docx tracking the trucks that left Hunters Po i nt in a logbook , which she shared with the Investigative Unit. According to her journal, in just one week i n October 2011 more than 70 trucks "failed the portal monitor" but were still " released to go off site." Both Andrews and Bowers say they witnessed other questionab l e behavior from the failure of workers to properly secure potentially radioactive areas from public access to the promotion of unqualified personnel to sen i or, safety-sensitive roles. Andrews said she raised questions to one of her super i ors but he told her to " hush up" and " take the morney and go home when the project" is complete. "I don't care where I l ive," Andrews said. " Wrongdoing is wrongdoing. We're a ll Americans. It shouldn't be done." After sharing their concerns within the company, they took them to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and submitted 30 formal comp l a i nts between them to the agency. The Investigative Unit obtained NRC reports that indicate regulators t r aveled to Hunters Point for three days in March 2011 and January 2012 to investigate Bowers' and Andrews' claims. The reports show t h at in each instance, inspecto r s were unable to substantiate the allegat i ons.

• Docs: How Trucks are Screened for Radiation at Hunters Point Bowers believes that t he NRC did not investigate his cla 1 ims thoroughly enough. Andrews says she feels betrayed by the NRC because she believed the agency has the authority to put a halt to the vio l ations she says she witnessed. "As an American, I bel i eved in t h e NRC," she said. " I'm not so sure I believe in them anymore." S h ortly after Bowers reported his concerns to the NRC i n January 2011 , he lost h i s job with Tetra Tech. A n drews also lost her job after s h e contacted federal regulators in October 2011. Both claim it was retalia t ion. B owers and Andrews a l ong with two othe r former workers at H unters Point are suing Tetra Tech because they content they were fired for raising concerns.

Tetra Tech has filed an answer denying t h ose allegations. Both Tetra Tech and the NRC declined interview requests by the Investigative Unit. Navy representa ti ves also decl i ned interview req u es t s saying it i s " inappropriate for the Navy to comment on o n going l i tigat i on between th i rd parties."

When asked if they would l i ve at Hunters Point in the future, both Bowers and Andrews responded t h at t h ey be l ieve the s i te ca n b e cleaned up correctly eventually but the way i t stands n ow , "absolutely not."

She began tracking the trucks that left Hunters Point in a logbook , which she shared with the Investigative Unit. According to her journal , in just one week in October 2011 more than 70 trucks "failed the portal monitor" but were still " released to go off site." Both Andrews and Bowers say they w i tnessed other questionable behavior from the failure of workers to properly secure potentially radioactive areas from public access to the promotion of unqualified personnel to senior , safety-sensitive roles. Andrews said she raised questions to one of her superiors but he told her to "hush up" and " take the money and go home when the project" is comp l ete. " I don't care where I live ," Andrews said. "Wrongdoing is wrongdoing. We're all Americans. It shou l dn't be done." After sharing their concerns within the company , they took them to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission<http://www .nrc.gov/> (NRC) and submitted 30 formal comp l aints be t ween them to the agency. The I nvest i gative Unit obtained NRC reports that indicate regu l ators traveled to Hunters Point for three days in March 2011 and January 2012 to investigate Bowers' and Andrews' claims. The reports s h ow that in each instance , i nspectors were unable to substantiate the allegations.

-Hunters-Point-259873071. html> Bowers believes that the NRC did not i nvestigate his claims thoroughly enough. Andrews says she feels betrayed by the NRC because she believed the agency has the authority to put a halt to the violations she says she w i tnessed. " As an American , I believed i n the NRC ," she said. 'Tm not so sure I believe in them anymore." Shortly after Bowers reported his concerns to the NRC in January 2011 , he lost his job with Tetra Tech. Andrews a l so l ost her job after she contacted federal regulators in October 2011. Both claim i t was retaliation. Bowers and Andrews along with two other former workers at Hunters Point are suing Tetra Tech because they content they were f i red for rais i ng concerns. Tetra Tech has fi l ed an answer denying those allegations. Both Tetra Tech and the NRC declined interview requests by t he Investigative Unit. Navy representatives a l so declined i nterview requests saying it is "inappropria t e for the Navy to comment on ongoing litigation between third parties."

"I wouldn't go there , I wouldn't take my grandchildren there, I wouldn't wa l k my dog there," Andrews said. " I t's a beautiful area and it can be beautiful once it's cleaned up , but it's not be i ng cleaned up right."

Rl-2014-A-0046 The NRC Region I Office has completed its follow up in response to a news art i cle published on May 19 , 2014 , i n which we identified one concern under NRC regulatory jurisd i ct i on related to radiological controls. Enclosure 1 to this letter restates your concern and describes our review and conclus i ons regarding that concern. Allegations are an important source of information i n support of the NRC's safety m ission , and as such , we will continue to take our safety responsibility to the public seriously within the bounds of our lawful authority. We believe that our actions have been r e sponsive. If , however , you can provide new i nformation , or the NRC receives additional information from another source that suggests that our conclusion should be altered , we will evaluate that information to determine whether further action i s warranted. Should you have any additional questions or i f the NRC can be of further assistance in this matter , please call this office toll-free via the NRC Safety Hotline at 1-800-432-1156 , extension 5222 , between 7: 30 a.m. and 4: 15 p.m. EST , Monday through Friday , or contact me in writing at P.O.

According to your logbook entry for a week in October 2011 , you recorded more than 70 tru 1 cks had failed the portal monitor but were sti l l re l eased to go off-site without being properly surveyed. Response to Concern: NRC Assessment During an inspection conducted at the Hunters Po i nt Naval Shipyard (HPNS) on July 21 -22 , 2014 , an NRC inspector reviewed procedures and records and interviewed personnel familiar with activities that occurred in the 2011 time frame. In October 2011 , the site procedure that governed the use of the vehicle portal monitor (VPM) was "Final Hunters Point Shipyard Project , Standard Operating Procedures , Gamma Screening of Trucks Using the Skid-Mounted Portal Monitor ," Revis i on 3 , dated December 3 , 2008. The procedure required that the VPM be used to perform gamma radiation screening of trucks loaded with non-contaminated so i ls and debris prior to leaving HPNS. The procedure also required that, w h en a truck caused an alarm or "failed" the VPM screening , it needed to be sent through the VPM a second time. If a second a l arm was received , the truck and its contents were subjected to a manual survey using a hand held survey instrument.

Based on a review of records , the inspector determined that in October 2011 , 11 O trucks received second alarms and required a manual survey. I n addition to performing a manual survey , Attachment 1 , "Radiological Truck Survey Form for Portab l e Instrument ," of the above referenced procedure was completed. The attachment required the following information to be recorded: date , time , truck i dentification , survey instrument (model number , seria l number , calibrat i on due date , and background), locations surveyed , and survey results. The i nspector reviewed these records and confirmed that 109 trucks were released i n October 2011 , after a manual survey was performed and release requirements were met. One truck did not successfully pass the manual survey and was returned to the site to have its contents (soil) searched. A radium-226 device was subsequently identified and removed. The ins p ector determined that the licensee appeared to be following their internal procedures for the re l ease of trucks from HPNS , and t here was no indication that trucks were released from the site inappropriately. NRC Conclusion Based on the above , the NRG was able unable to substantiate your concern that more than 70 trucks were released from HPNS without being proper l y surveyed. Although 110 trucks failed the initia l portal monitor survey , they were all subsequently manually surveyed with a hand held i nstrument in accordance w i th procedures.

Subject:

Concerns Regarding Tetra Tech, INC., at the Hunters Point Decommissioni n g Project Mr. Urban, In reference to the subject line above -and as detailed in the most recent email to you dated April 12, 2011, enclosed is a cross section of supplemental information which should help further identify c ircumstances which have occurred during the course of 2010 (and early 2011} and which I feel have contributed significantly to the unanticipated events with my employer as they unfolded beginning January 12, 2011 to present. To summarize the infonnation within, I fee vi't Important to emphasize that every effort has been mad, during the course of my Hunters Poin f RSO (tenure to adhere to job t i tle expectations/ obligation s a s detailed by J Mr. Carl J. Paperiello in his publication titled So You're the New RSOI

• While radiQlogical contaminants Identified at the project site would In general be best categorized as "residual trace amounts", there's nevertheless remained the personal commitment to emphatically emphasize the expectation of "conscientiously correct" work practice approaches from the management level down to the front line worker. In particular for anyone associated with an intrusive activity-and most Importantly that conducted In a site location Identified by the Navy's Historical Radiological Assessment document as "lmpactedn. Accordingly, when administering radiological orientation and awareness teviews to visitors, VIP's, and g e neral site staff , the reminder has been repeatedly emphasized that all should fully appreciate potential hazards associated with defined radionu c lldes of concern. Specifically, the rationale behind the existing system of "checks and balanc e s" used to en s ure that no one i s subjected to unnecessary risk. Such efforts over the course of eight plus "project yearsH have generally proved successful. Representatives within the Navy appear comfortable and understanding of the philosophy behind the views presented and controls established. However , since beg i nning employment at the site through Tetra Tech In 2009, the single most " detrimental" obstacle that's encountered involves person's who align themselves purely with a construction driven "mentality".

The idea of incorporating without prior discussion concepts that may commonly exist on a traditional construction site but which simply do not go "hand in hand" with what's expected on a radiological project. Upon discovery, such "flags" traditionally relate to time critical is s ues (and likely as driven by the type of contract In effect with the Navy). Often times, such "flags" conflict with the recommended "mind s et" provided during RAD review orientation s -the need to remember that "what may take 15 minutes to do in your world of expertise , will probably take 25-30 minutes In the RAD world ... not to hold you up or upset you, .but to ensure through periodic checks and verifications the Page 1 of 7 continued safety of the environment , the general public , and the work forcen. Progressively, each "flag" has tended to indicate what appears to be a systematic breakdown in "conscientiousR communication. The year 2010 began as planned with traditional dosimetry change outs and the posting of .. Project RSO Representative" and "Authorized User" documentation (reference 1), etc. However, on into the year after repeated RAD field staff and supervisory reminders to walk down active work areas to ensure RAD safety Integrity at shifts end, discrepancies and findings nevertheless increased in frequency. As a result, th~(b)(7)(C) ~n Norfolk, Virginia was repeatedly updated during routine calls on growing "culture concerns "of a declining nature. The Tetra Tech!(b)(?)(C) I were personally briefed as well. I began to sense a growing concern for the RAD supervisory staff as a whole (and ultimately the RAD field technicians as a group) and their ability to not cave in solely to construction driven priorities/mindsets but "stand behind the license as aiticaJ field based "eyes and ears" -to do tasks and assignments "right the first time". *Read and Sign>> documents addressing "Project Specific Reference/ Guidance Documents for the Conduct of Radiologically Based Tasks" (reference

9) and "Collection of 'Beta/Gamma; Static Measurements (and Representative Background Data)" (reference

10) were issued, in part, to continuously emphasize the need to report discrepancies/concerns. (Additionally , the above documents were supplemented with RASO generated position views as detailed in reference 11 and as related to site areas of responsibility subject to Tetra Tech's NRC issued license). During shift and/or prio r to leaving site for the day ( usually 1 hour after quitting time for the field hands), I would routinely complete an end-of-day RAD integrity field check. Discrepancies were commonly observed/

corrected which often times appeared avoidable -assuming end-of-day RAD checks were being performed by the field hands (references 2, 3,4, S, 6, 7, 14, 18, 25 and 30). RAD r integrity field checks conducted throughout the day also revealed escalating discrepancies associated d,i, with other licensees -and of a nature which resulted in calls to my office from observant field hantts:-,;. * ,,. voicing concern (and subsequent corrective actions involving site RSO Representatives, the Tetra Tech (b)(7)(C) and/or RASO -and as captured in references 8, 12, 15, and 22). In summary fr<:>m the position o (b )(7)(C) all of the escalating "challenges" appeared to involve communication deficiencies and a chosen lack of simple interface by specific RAD supervisors within reliable and expected time intervals. Indications of "resistance" to expected RAD protocol appeared to be reflected even more by graffiti discover , ed on the project RSO's vehicle during the last quarter of 2010 (references 13 and 21). In the latter part of the year toward scheduled holiday stand downs , increased "response incidents" resulting from trespassers, vandalism, and storm effects occurred and often times required interface with representatives of the Navy and/or Internal and external entities. Discrepancies involving "Baker" tank and "scrap metar' bin activities conducted without first confinning through the project RSO any need for RAD support (i.e., use of portal monitor screening as preferred by RASO) were likewise identified/reported over the course of the stand down (references 19, 20, and 25). In parallel, coordination specific to the 2011 dosimetry monitoring program was underway (and the securing of a new service vendor per reference 16); as was the scheduling of RAO support needs for external entities l e ading up to (and during) the stand down and including the new year (references 17, 22, and 24). Page 2 of 7 Field activities resumed after the holiday stand down and progressed smoothly through January 12 , 2011 , (references 26 , 27 , and 29) as did the fulfilling of commitments to outside entities (reference 28). However , events beginning the morn i ng of January 13, 2011 signaled -most importantly to me

• a significantly negative change at the project management level and a defiant , confrontational attitud e disp l ayed by a RAO field supervisor (as described in the contents of references 32 a n d 33). Shortly thereafter , th (b)(l)(C) was notified of the events and my personal intent to internally addre s s/ resolve existing issues. Th (b)(?)(C) rrived i n San Francisco from Norfolk , VA and was at Hunters Point t he following Monday. A dri v e through of the project site was conducted with th (b)(7)(C) during the early morning hours of Monday, January 17 , 2011. Upon its c ompletion , the (b)(7)(C) asked directly to play "devil's advocate" and " punch holes'" i n my mindset/ line of thinking on the morning of January 13th -nothing erroneous was noted. (It wa s afso durin this timeframe that the incident detailed in reference 30 was identified.)

At that time, the (b)(?)(C) nfirmed that-contrary to first addressing/investigating the " issues at hand ,, i ntemaUy, t h e Tetra Tech !(b)(7)(C) ~d alre a dy informed Corporate H R of hi s action s as well as RASO -h i s exact words at that time were " I can't beli e ve he did that. I r eplied that I was upset as a result but would continue to attempt resolution of existing issues through interna l avenues until/unless advised otherwise. That same morning (as a result of the hostile 1 threatening environment experienced when last there per reference 33), I was able to access my office while in the presence of the!(b)(?)(C) !to safely retrieve my laptop for use from home. I then left the project for my temporary California res i dence. Later the following day I re c eived the request from th e!(b)(7)(C) !as detailed In referen c e 31. The following day (Tuesday, January 18, 2011) and upon the advice of th~(b)(l)(C) l I attempted t o contact -and later heard from the Tetra Tech !(b)(l)(C) !as described in reference 34 (i.e., for the first time since the events of January 13 , 2011 as detailed in reference 33). That same day I received electronic correspondence from Hunters Point field administration that my name had been removed from the weekly Navy NAVFAC/Tetra Tech meeting roster. Anothe r notification came later that I was also removed from the project phon e tist. later i n the week I met with the !(b)(l)(C) l at the project site in my office to discover all cabinets and furniture with locks had been breached and th e integrity of corresponding 6 1ock and key" items compromised (reference 35). I continued to work from my temporary califomia residence ttie rest of the week {January 17*21, 2011). During that time I received ca l ls from project techn i cal staff voicing l icense based concerns. I posed the question , "'who i s defined on the 'Right to Know' posting board a s the~PS RSO repre s entativ i)as well as "what's the 'after hours' contact plilone number listed on the Tetra Tech project RAD signs in the field"? I was informed that i n both instances the desi nated person remained me and re-confirmed as such prior to a scheduled meeting with the (b)(?)(C) and !(b)(7)(~) !i n my office on Friday, January 21, 2011. Upon the day of that meeting ("'0915 hrs), the name of the project RSO representative had been changed on th e 'Right to Know' po st ing board t~(b)(?)(C) ~nd the document backdated t o reflect an effective date of January 18 , 2011 (referen c e 36); all of the observ e d project RAD field signs still continued to reflect my persona l " aft e r hours" contact number.

Later that same day, I re-ronfirmed with project technical staff the posting which now addre (b)(?)(C) as project RSO representative. I received the adamant reply that my name was reflected as s he morning of January 21, 2011. Later that same day I met again (after hours) with the!(b)(?)(C) !at Hunters Point He seemed somewhat weary and resigned to himself. He suggested that I take the position at Alameda and move on from Hunters Point. He then suggested that I could "work out of Alameda" and "act as a mentor for Hunters Point and any other projects that might kick off'. Somewhat surprised , I questioned why the change in position. I was essentially answered with words to the effect that " ultimately, construction management decides who stays and who goes on a project". I promptly advised of my opposition to that position; then followed with the direct question of " what did I do wrong-9? The response .as he shrugged his shoulders was "I don't know, some of the Sup's say you got into an argument with them". I replied with "that's simply not true ... I called that meeting to discuss a c ommunication concern i nvotving Authorized User's *.. it didn't even last 2-3 minutes ..*. there wasn't even enough time for an argument. ..

While at Alameda , I continued to attempt mentor follow-up at Hunters Point as s uggested by the!(b)(?)(C) !through phone call attempts then direct email (reference 39). I then began to focus on the remaining goals defined for me at Alameda including the establishment of new working relationships (reference 40). During my time at Alameda , It was announced that during the week of March 28 through April 1, 2011, th e NRCwould be conducting inspect i ons at both Hunters Point and Alameda. It was during that week that I was Interviewed b Ins ctors !Cb)(7)(C) !The day following the NRC interview, I received a call from the (b)(l)(C) He advised that funding for my role at Alameda was no longer available and at dose of business on April 1 , 2011 my assignment there would end as would corresponding per diem benefits. I prompt l y followed up the conversation with an e mail to him and the!(b)(7)(C) !confirming the same (reference 41). Turnovers and advisement that my role would be completed by week's end were distributed (references 42, 43, 44 , 4 5 and 49) and feedback received (reference 46).

As stated ENCLOSURE 1 Rl-20 11-A-0019 (b )(5) ENCLOSURE 1 Rf--2011-A-0019 (b)(5) 2 i 1~ RSO Responsibilities Your license requires that-senior management designate an individual as Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). This individual will establish , maintain , enfore&and oontrol the company radiation safety program and act as the contact person for the r:egulatory agency. When the company is contacted or inspected by the regulatory agency they will want to speak with the RSO. Senior management is required to supply the RSO with the necessary means. including training, to carry out the position of RSO and should wor1< with the RSO to make sure that all conditions and oompliance of the license are met The RSO will maintain complete, accurate and organized records. The RSO is responsible for making necessary amendments and notifying the regulatory agency of these amendments. The RSO will keep the safety program updated as to any changes in the regulations. When a new RSO is designated the licensee must immediately notify the regulatory agency. If allowable, the company should also designate an assistant RSO. This person should be readily trained and authorized to speak for the company as well as carry out aH RSO responsibilities. Do you really want to be the RSO? You must ask yourself that question before you accept the responsibilities of the position. The spotlight will be on you. You cannot cut comers or attempt regulatory

• end-arounds

". The regulatory agency is delegating the responsibility o f *protecting public and property" to your shoulders. Your actions will be viewed and scrutinized by everyone around you. The "Notice to Employees* poster tells your workers about their rights and how to notify the regulatory agency if they see you or your radiation safety program in violation of the regulations. If you let them see you skimp on a rule or regulation today you may regret It in the future. Today's happy employee may be tomorrow's disgruntled employee , one who is looking to ' get back at you or the company at a later date. Don't give them a reason to *exercise" their employee rights. You must also not let senior management compromise your duties and authority. The followin , g article gives a reality check to those considering the RSO position. So You're the New RSOI What la a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) and what are his/her duties? The RSO is the person responsible for radiological safety in conjunction with the use, handling, and storage of radioactive materials in a program licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or Agreement State. It is the duty of the RSO to ensure that all licensed activities are carried O:ut in compliance with the requirements of the license and the applicable rules and regulations. : The following excerpts of an articulated article of relevance offers insight into what the NRO or Agreemenl State expects of an RSO. (From the March 1993 issue of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Licensee Newsletter) i What does It mean. if you agree to be named as the new Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) on an NRC or Agreement State license? It means you have the knowledge and skill , the resources and time , the will , and the clout in your organization to ensure that activities involving radiation and radioactive materials are conducted safely , and all license requirements , both in the regulations and those specific to your license, are being met Although you can delegate tasks, you have the ultimate responsibility. How much knowledge do you have to have? It depends. You don't need an advanced degree in nuclear physics if your respons i bility Is lhnitect. On the other hand, an RSO for a major broad-scope university , medical center, environmental project , or manufacturer wfll probably need a falrty good scientific background , including substantial knowledge of radiation characteristics and methods of detection. There is a skill set frequently over1ooked in the selection of an RSO: Can you manage? If there is a large program under your license (i.e., a lot of users , diverse places of use , and/or branch offices) can you establish a management system that ensures you know everything that has to be done I s beJng done? For example, if your license involves a lot of gauges at diverse locations used by numerous employees, the knowledge of dose calculations, shielding or biological effects is not much help tf you don't know if your users are properly trained , wearing the proper dosimetry , and transporting and storing gauges. correctly. Most of the civil penalty enforcement actions have resulted from the failure of a licensee to manage the radiation safety program correctly. The major management shortcoming is the failure to know whether activities are being conducted in accordance with NRC and Agreement State requirements. (f fail to understand why a business that knows how to audit its financial activities does not conduct an annual audit of its Radiation Safety Program and safety and operating procedures.) Do you have the time* and resources to be an RSO? This can be a problem, particularly if the RSO function is an ancillary assignment. It can generally work well for a small program in which the RSO is a user and has day-to-day contact with the other users. On 1 geotechnical office with a few gauge operators is such an example. Others might include a small paving operations company with one office and several gauge operators , or a smaff testing services company. Problems usually arise when a small business grows , particularty when it adds branch offices , anq the part-time RSO can no longer keep track of activities at other locations. Do you want to be an RSO? An RSO can be unpopular. You have to be a cop. Sometimes you have to say no. Don't let your name g~ on the license just because you have a Ph.D. and a desire to teach or do research but not to be a snoop!/ (I know the feeling. I originally wanted to teach, too. I suppose, in a way, that is what I am doing now , by writing this article. As an RSO , you are a regulator just like me. A regulator has to have the wi J I to regulate.)

e. Wait for instructions or arrival of emergency response In the event of theft: a. Contact the RSO b. Call the regulatory agency c. Immediately contact the police d. Consider issuing a reward through the media Investigations and conections Investigate all unusual occurrences involving the event (accident, damage, theft, oversights).

i*,d c:irr*:::t,ve o::: , ons taken Self-Reporting An important requirement of your license is for the RSO to self-report any violations of the radiation safety program or conditions of the license. No one is perfect and your regulatory agency understands this. Self corrections are an important learning tool. Self corrections will show the regulatory agency that you conscientious and committed towards the radiation safety program. Self corrections ra~y subject you to a fine, whereas *hidden" violations are far more likely to result in a fine. Self corrections should include a report of the violation and corrective steps to ensure that the violation will not be repeated. The FIie Drawer and Original Coples The RSO should designate a file drawer for maintaining all of the documents required for the license. This file drawer should hold all of the original documents and be kept under lock and key. If you have to remove an original, make a photocopy and immediately retum the original to the file. There is nothing more helpful during an inspection than a neat tidy , complete and accurate file of all of your records and it will go a long way towards a successful inspection.

Do you have the clout in your organization? Or, are you so low in your organization that no one tistens to you? Does the senior gauge operator or job foreman write your perfonnance appraisal or control your salary bonus? If so, you may have a problem. You must have the authority to stop an unsafe activity or an activity in violation of NRC or i reement State uirements. Or must at least have read access 1D someone who can sto iL *~ am10mw;.u.,&W1u+a@*EAIMMMM*ill*@aa.;mn,111£9'11.I RSO Requirements Recordkeeping FIie Designate a file drawer for maintaining all of the documents required for the license. This file drawer should hold all of the original documen1s and be kept under lock and key. RSO Training and Your License The RSO should have the proper training and experience to cany out the position. This training should qualify the individual to perfonn the duties of the RSO. Training The RSO must have practical experience in the area of license application and must introduce and instruct workers to the safety and operational aspects that are unique to the application. All workers.must pass a Radiation Safety Certification Class. Completion of this class will aid the RSO and further the understanding of safety, security and compliance requirements for every person in the organization. Remember, your safety program is only as good as your least trained person. The RSO will oversee the training and monitor the test that is required of company employees and will ensure that he/she has received training. Company employees should be trained in all safety and emergency procedures and possess a copy of the company radiation safety program. Training for the employees should Include:

• Radiation safety training
• HAZMAT training
• Annual refreshers Topics of training include:
• Principles and practices of radiation protection
• Radiation measurement and monitoring
• Biolocial effects of ractration It is important for the RSO or an authorized user to spend time with new workers in the basics of radiation safety and operation.

The certificate issued for successful completion of Radiation Safety Training will include a confirmation and signature line for the RSO to acknowledge that the employee has received hands on training with the radioactive material in use by the company subject to license control. The training course oovers the safe use and handling of radioactive materials. The RSO will authorize and ensure that only proper1y trained individuals will work with radioactive materials subject to license control including the preparation and transport of such materials. All training certificates are to be kept on file. Personnel Monitoring/Dou Rates The RSO will ensure that dosimetry use is considered for all workers subject to monitoring for occupational radiation exposure. Train and practice the concepts of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to ensure minimal exposures. When not in use all employee dosimeters should be kept with the control badge, at distance free from high background exposure areas. Store badges In a temperate environment The annual dose limit for workers is 5,000mRem. Declared {in writing) pregnant workers are limited to 500mRem for the tenn of the pregnancy. Workers under the age of 18 are limited to 500mRem/yr (some states limit their exposure to 50mRem). Storage areas should have limited access to the general public and ensure that public exposure Is less than 10PmRem/yr or the exposure at 3 feet is than 0.2mRem/hr. A general rule of 15 feet from a full-time work station should ensure compliance but areas with multiple gauges will need to be evaluated. Reciprocity Operations lnvoMng license controlled quantities of radioactive material can only be conducted within the state under the licensee's regulatory agency. Sources will be kept in a licensed storage area or approved work site temporary storage. Use in another state will require reciprocity (pennission from the NRC or Agreement State). Storage/Security When not in use radioactive material subject to license control will be stored behind locked security that prevents unauthorized access or removal. The RSO must authorize and approve any operators before they can remove items from storage. Any item or package removed from storage must be inspected and logged out with the operator's name, date, any serial number and place of use. Radioactive material subject to license control can never be left unattended at the work site. Items left in vehicles should be double-locked and concealed with appropriate bill of lading and emergency response sheets left on the driver's seat Radioactive material subject to license control cannot be left unsupervised with 2nd or 3rd party personnel. If you nave an Individual from a service company visit your site to calibrate, service or repair equipment using check sources, you must have one of your authorized .users accompany the individual at all times. They cannot be left alone with your equipment nor can they be left alone in a secured storage area. The service individual is not employed by your company and you have not transferred the equipment to their ownership. You cannot let the individual remove equipment or packages to take to their vehicle Without supervision. If an Item is removed from storage you must *adhere to all requirements of the radiation safety program. If you are in possession of radionuclide quantities of concern (Risk Significant Radioactive Material aka RSRM) you are not allowttd to let 2nd or 3rd party individuals access the package or source unless they have regulatory background clearance. Look in the Appendices/Attachments for the NRC Notice. Leak Testing Check sources (including exempt quantities as a good practice} should be leak tested for contamination every 6 months and documentation placed on file. Inventory Hands on source inventory will be laken every 6 months and documentation kept on file. Emergency procedures Employees who work with radioactive materials subject to license control will be trained in aspects of emergency precautions and emergency response. In the event loss of control occurs at a work site trained and qualified radiation worker will respond In the following order: a. Attend to anyone that may have been injured. b. Determine the location of radioactive sources c. Take control and deny access to the area (15 feet in all directions)

d. If a vehicle Is involved keep it on site until it is* determined that it is not contaminated

e. Gather details about accident and damage -if possible, perform radiation survey f. Stay at the site but contact RSO with details g. If necessary, the RSO will contact the regulatory agency, any manufacturer and/ or police h. The RSO will give guidance on whether to move radioactive sources L The RSO should travel to the site with a radiation survey meter In the event of damage in an auto accident a. Attend to injuries b.

The RSO will emphasize the ALARA philosophy to workers, instruct personnel on c urrent procedures and provide guidance on relevant changes to reduce exposures. B. The RSO will review dosimetry reports for all monitored personnel to determine i f unnecessary exposure s are being received. The RSO will investigate within 30 days the cause of any dose considered f.o be excessive. If warranted , the RSO will take corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

A report of each investigation and the act i ons taken, if any , will be recorded and ma i nta i ned for inspection purposes. C. At least annually, the RSO will conduct a formal review of the rad i ation protection program's content and implementation. The review wfll include an evaluation of equipment. procedures, dosimetry records, inspection findings , and incidents. The RSO will assess trends in oc cupational exposures as an index of the program's success and determine if any modifications to the program ar e needed. A summary of the results of each annual r e view , including a description of actions proposed and taken (if any) will be documented by the RSO , discussed with management and signed and dated by both. A report on each audit will be maintained on file for 3 years from the date of the review. D. The RSO will provide written notifications of annual radiation exposures to all monitored personnel and will be available to respond to any questions regarding the exposure reports.

Subject:

Collection of "Beta/Gamma" Static Measurements {and Re p resentative Backgiound Data) During the conduct of ANSI defined skill sets, a major component ofTtECI's expected level of RCT perfonnance includes the correct use of established protocol for field data collection. Specific to surveys involving "beta/gamma scans and statics" (i.e., those unique to open area locations, building/stmctural/equipment surfaces, etc), it is important to con:finn in advance with your supervisor the technique(s) required unique to your assigned task -and implement as s uch to ensure the validity of data collected. To that effect, demonstrating the ability to reliably detennine and apply the correct backgrnund se lection methodology for "beta/ganuna scans and statics" is essential (i.e., use of "ambient or like material methods, etc" as defined in corresponding work instructions and/or as tasked by direct supervision). To fm1her emphasize this point, excerpts with data results from five selected field smvey reports follow (names and locations are omitted). In all examples, reference the column titled "Fixed+ Removable (NET)", specifically the data entered under the header "Beta/Gamma dpm/100 CM 2". Assess the "beta/gamma" smvey results (along with conesponding information for "Instrumentation Used"). Identify on each examp le if you would APPROVE 01* RE.JECT the results. For any rejections, list the basis for your decision along with any identified need for required con-ective action(s). Review this infonnation thoroughly prior to making your final determination. Once completed, return the examples with comments to your supervisor for follow*up discussion and feedback. Note: While reviewing the examples, keep in mind that a vast majority of data co llect ed from the field is ultimately transferred into survey reports. Sw*vey documents are often times incorporated into information which is submitted to r egu lators and other outside entities. In these instances, the information includes names/locations and in part reflects on the entire staff retained by Te tra Tech and its perceived level of expertise in performing technically oriented work. In that regard, attention lo detail, constant contact with supervision, and the correct use of established protocol go "hand*in-band" with generating a quality product and in doing our job right the first time. In parallel, discrepancies encountered while in the field (work document errors, difference of opinion, etc) which prevent the correct and smooth performance of technically oriented work need to be brought to the attention of project management -in both a timely fashion and at the appropriate level.

If TtEC is responsible for all areas that are not covered by another contractor then that can be stated on a map but that would mean that it is your responsibility under your license to cover all those areas for any and all work performed in those areas whether or not it is radiological work. If there are areas that you are speci'fically co ntract ed to perform rad iological investigations then those need to be shown separately because you would be performing "intru sive work". Looking at the map you forwarded, I am not sure that all areas where you are contracted to perform radiological investigations are covered. It is more a matter of responsibility than radiological postings. I am trying to delineate areas of responsibility to eliminate problems not create them -all though it may seem otherwise at this point. Also, I am concerned about the area of "joint TtEC/Shaw" jurisdiction. If RSY-2 is functioning then it would be TtEC's area. I can't see how the jurisdiction can be shared -particularly in regards to licensi ns. Please take another look at the map -we can talk today if need be. I just need this signed 'er rather than later -especially with Shaw starting work.

Regarding the subject line above, 2010 end-of-year field activities -including those subject to radiological support under TtEC I's NRC Material License# 29-31396-01 , are scheduled to wrap up on Friday, December 17, 20 1 0. A planned two week stand down will be in effect thereafter for the holiday s. Before beginning the stand down, it is important that all personnel with do si metry assigned under T tECl's monitoring program* place their "4th quarter 2010" devices on a designated badg e rack. Dosimetry badge racks recognized for this purpose are locat ed just inside either of the two entrances to the TtEC managem e nt trailers; another is available at the Building 400 meeting area Gust inside the main access door). During th e stand down , dosimetry will be changed out to meet protocol specific to the upcoming "1st Quarter 2011" wear period. After the holidays and upon return to the project (Monday, January 3, 20 11), new dosimetry can b e picked up at the same badge rack where "4th quarter 201 O" dosimetry was left. Thanks in advance for your help in ensuring th e aforementioned needs are me t, thus providing for a smooth transition into 2011. As always, feel free to contact me if additional information or feedback is needed. Bert

The affected roadway intersects two radiologicaJJy controlled areas subject to NR C license oversight (i.e., a location on one side involves Shav/s IR-02 radiologically posted " C ontamination Area"; the side rurecUy across is specific to Tetra Tech's " Triangle Area" designated as a "Radioactive Materials Area"). The condition , which appears to have been compounded as a result of the IR-02 work area " bulldup" (i.e., significant import fill added during pad construction and an elevated mound that's resulted), will likely worsen as a barrage of additional stonns forecast for the area pass through in the nex t few days. Presently, lingering water in the non-impacted roadway expands into the referenced "Triangle Area". As a result, vehicular traffic creates wakes which pass into and out of Tetra Tech's controlled area (observed especially so today with heavy rigs supporting Shaw's active work). While trends from "Triangle Area" sample results to date indicate negligible levels from a radiological perspective, it will become ever challenging to address like "contaminant migration" potential if the pool continues to expand in size -especially if into Shaw's "Contaminated Area". This situation will continue to be monitored -in particular if inclement weather conditions become ever lingering .... just a "heads up" in keeping this situation in mind -and the feasibility of suspending traffic until the situation becomes more under control (a RASO call?).

I completed another drive thru with focus placed on TtECl's vehicle fleet and status -including those inside Building 258.

Daily ESQ Topics 3-3-2011 Stress in the workplace Daily ESQ Topic March 3, 2011 STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE Recently released research from the New York-based Families and Work Institute found 41 percent of workers who responded to a survey on workplace stress reported experiencing stress " often" or " very often* on the job. Although small doses of stress are n ot harmful, situations in which stress is very high or constant can create serious problems , according to NIOSH. Far from being a mere annoyance, stress can play a larger role in more serious , chronic illnesses when it persists for long periods of time , studies suggest. Research indicates stress can increase an employee's risk of developing cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the back and upper extremities. There also is growing concern that high levels of workplace stress can increase job inju ries by interfering with safe work practices. Dismissing concerns of stress in the workplace may be detrimental to the health and well-being of the workforce. Stress and your health The link between high levels of workplace stress and the development of cardiovascular disease seems to have garnered the most attention from researchers. One of the factors linking the two may be the propensity for stressed individuals to make unhealthy life choices. Lyle H. Miller has been studying stress for 30 years. Currently , he directs the Bio Behavioral Institute, a nonprofit research organization focused on stress and behavioral health , and is chairman and CEO of Boston-based Stress Directions Inc., which provides consulting services to employers. In his work with police officers , Miller found certain measures workers take to control their stress can exacerbate the issue. "They drink too much coffee on the job ," he said. " And one of the things that coffee does is it liberates adrenaline from the adrenal gland, which is part of the stress response. So they raise their level artificially ." Because stress does not magically disappear when an officer is off duty , he or she may look for ways to manage it at home. "O ften , one of the solutions for the officer is, Well , just a little drink will calm me down. And if one work s, well, maybe two would work even better ,'" Miller said. A 2007 University of Melbourne study examining the relationship between smoking habits and job stress found men who experience " moderate* or " extreme* job stress were twice as likely to smoke as other workers. Yet the negat ive health effects of stress are not limited to poor lifestyle choices. A 2008 study of British civil servants found that people with the most severe levels of job stress had a 68 percent higher risk of developing heart disease. Although this was linked , in part , t o the stressed workers' propensity for unhealthy foods and forgoing exercise , biological factors were identified as well. The stressed workers were found to have lower heart rate variability and increased levels of cortisol , which can damage heart and blood vessels. Adjusting for lifestyle factors did not impact the relationship between stress levels and cardiovascular health. NIOSH warns that the effects of job stress on chronic diseases can be diffi c ult to determine because these diseases can take a long time to develop and are i nfluenced by factors o ther than stress. Past r esear c h li nks stress not only to card i ovascular disease, but also to musculoskeletal disorders , psychological disorders , suicide , cancer , ulcers and impaired immune function. Common workplace stressors Rather than pointing to individual personal i ty tra i ts that make a person more prone to stress , NIOSH contends that working condit i ons play a primary role i n causing job stress. Paul J. Rosch , M.D., is president of the American Inst i tute of Stress , a Yonkers , NY-based nonprofit organization. Rosch agrees with NIOSH's assessment and points to the following as common causes of workplace stress:

• Task design: Heavy workload , long work hours, infrequent breaks , routine tasks , not enough time to complete a job
• Management style: Little participation in making decisions, little control over the finished product, poor communication , lack of family-friendly policies , little recognition for good job performance
• Interpersonal relationships

Poor social environment and lack of support from workers or supervisors

prejudice or discrimination because of race , religion , gender or age

• Work roles: Conflicting or uncertain job expectations , too much responsibility , too many bosses or " hats to wear"
• Career concerns:

Job insecurity

lack of opportunity for growth, advancement or promotion

• Environmental concerns: Unpleasant or dangerous physical conditions such as crowding, noise, air pollution , ergonomic issues and fear of exposure to toxic chemicals

" Also , many times , the issues of stress at work are really not issues with work per se ," Miller said. Not only can a worker's personal Jife impact one's levels of workplace stress , but " i t has to do with other things that impact on work like , for instance , traffic. By the time the person gets there , their level o f stress has gone up considerably , so it just takes a few more thi n gs on the j ob t o really trigger some unfortunate k i nds of reactions." Although certain high-risk , fast-paced i ndustries may be more prone to stress , Steven Sauter , coordinator of NIOSH's Work Organization Stress-Related Disorders Program and co-author of NIOSH's do c ument " Stress ... at work ," said the institute believes stress results from the job itself , rather than from the wor k er. " We don't think so much about the personality of the indiv i dual worker ," he said. " We look at the job c ontext and what i t is the job requires of them and the types of stressful working conditions that employees encounter in the workplace." M i ller says personality plays a large role in the level of stress a worker may exper i ence. " For e x ample ,* he said , " if you don't particularly like people , then stay out of retair sales." Some indicators point to st r ess becoming more prevalent as the e c onomy worsens and more workers fear unemployment. "Numerous surveys c onfirm that the recent progressive downturn in the economy has resulted i n a corresponding sharp increase i n job stress due to job loss, and job insecurity as a result of layoffs and downsizing ,* Rosch sa i d. Warning signs of stress " The first warning signs of stress are primarily emotional , and anger is one of the first ones ," M i ller sa i d. When w o rkers find themselves feeling these emot i ons more quickly or more intensely than they normally would , it is an indicator of high stress levels. " Muscle contraction headaches , or tension headaches , are one of the really early physical signs ," he said , as are intestinal issues such as heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Additionally, according to the American Institute of Stress , workers suffering from stress may experience shortness of breath , hair loss, changes in appetite , fatigue or panic attacks. Miller draws a dist i nction between acute stress and the more dangerous chronic stress. "When you're under acute stress , you know you're stressed ," he said. "But when it's chronic stress , it becomes so much a part of the landscape of your life that you don't even realize i t's there and it just grinds on and on and on. It just wears people out , wears their immune system out so that they develop all kinds of diseases." The impact on safety Although the link between stress and worker health is becoming stronger through a wide range of studies , the impact stress has on the safety of workers is not as well-known. " The data are weaker for injuries [being related to stress) than they are for illnesses ," Sauter said. " But I would say the weight of the evidence points to a linkage between both stress and illness and workplace injury." NIOSH calls for more research , yet cites " growing concern" that stress can lead to incidents by interfering with safe work practices. In a recent survey of nurses conducted by the American Nurses Association in Silver Spring , MD, 80 percent said on-the-job stress levels i mpact workplace safety, and 59 percent of nurses said when they feel pressured they are more inclined to work faster and take shortcuts. "Accident levels go up dramatically when stress climbs,* Miller said, pointing out stress also can increase the incidence of workplace bullying and violence. Steps workers can take to manage stress In addition to workplace modifications, NIOSH recommends workers try to better manage their job stress levels by taking the following actions:

• Develop a strong social support system in the workplace.

A co-worker or other ally who is available to talk through problems can help put things in perspective and minimize stress.

• Take a break to avoid "burnout." Even something as brief as a walk around the block can help clear your head and distance you from stressors, enabling you to return to the job with a fresh outlook.
• Set realistic expectations for the amount of work you can complete in the time you have available.

Do not attempt to take on more than you can reasonably handle.

• Recognize you are not perfect and every minor detail in your work will not be perfect either.
• Try to remain organized and keep your work area free of clutter, which can add to stress.
• Avoid negativity and negative people, and try to maintain a positive attitude about your work and your co-workers.

The tests were negative, according to a press release from the Victoria County Sheriff's Office. The truck, owned by PetroChem Inspection Services in Corpus Christi, carried an X-ray machine used in oil fields and *chemical plants. It was carrying radium 192, said Victoria Fi re Department Batta li on Chief Roger Hempe l , but none of the material escaped the truck. {Story by Erica Rodriguez of The Victoria Ad vocate) Hunters Point Shipyard According to the site Historical Radiological Assessment (HRA) document, significant portions of the shipyard are 'Categorized by the US Navy as Impacted areas due to prior activities confirmed or suspected to involve the use and/or presence of radioactive materials subject to regulated control. This p'resentation pertains to a recent event that o c curred in an*impacted portion of the Hunters Point Shipyard referred to as Parcel E. Historically significant activities associated with *the Hunters Point Parcel E sector involve its use as a designated burial location for various forms/types of site generated waste. Examples of the waste involved include (but is not limited to) products classified as chemical, petroleum, biological, asbestos, and radiological concerns. A vagrant apparently touched off a brush fire on or around Aug. 16, 2000 in the Parcel E landfill which transformed into an underground fire that burned for three months, igniting four times. Because of radiologically based concerns associated in large part wit h the impacted landfill, all of Parcel E is presently designated as a Radiologically Controlled Area. Non-Impacted roadways are established throughout Parcel E as Indicated in the picture above. To establish the road, a heavy duty liner was first placed where the roadway was to be constructed , followed by the placement of non-impacted import (sand and gravel) to serve as the road building mater i al. Currently , Parce l E roadway access is restricted only to authorized site personnel. The road is a l so routinely maintained to limit potho les and accelerated deterioration. Example of a radiological controls posting at Hunters Point Shipyard as established along active portions of the non-impacted Parcel E roadway. The event: During the early morning hours of November 24, 2010, representatives of Shaw Environmental informed Tetra Tech staff of a fire observed burning along a portion of the Parcel E shoreline refe r red to as "Metal Debris Reef" The weather conditions near the area of the fire were calm; clear skies prevailed and temperatures were in the mid to upper 40's. (b)(7)(C) Upon arrival of Tetra Tech staff to the scene, Shaw personnel were at the source of the fire with a water truck staged. Attempts to ext i nguish the fire were underway. Closer inspection revealed that the fire was centered on some insulated cable dumped along the shoreline and situated dire c tly under a keel block. Multiple footprints were also observed along nearby portion s of the shoreline at the water's edge. Vandals (aka: "Copper Miners") were immediately suspected (i.e., as supported by past events of attempted theft i n abandoned buildings involving the removal of copper wiring. Additional information: The impacted area of the fire is s ubject to Tetra Tech jurisdiction under its NRC issued materials license. Q UESTION: In responding to a similar event -and under like conditions / circumstances at Alameda -what considerations / actions are required to be addressed and under what general categories would those considerations/ actions fall? (Hint: Look at the pictur es to follow) (b)(7/(C)

For example , potassium iodine pills, which are one such preventive measure, can cause intestinal upset , allergic reactions , and other symptoms, and should only be taken on the advice of emergency management officials , public health officials , or your doctor. OSHA is working with other federal agencies to monitor domestic reports of radiation concerns and provide up-to.date worker protection information. This includes working jointly with NIOSH on a worker information page. This page provides information to help workers , employers, and occupational health professionals regarding the release of airborne contamination from the damaged Japanese power plant. If you have further questions , ple~se contact the OSHA hotline at 1-800-321-0SHA (6742) I TTY 1-877-889-5627. Incident-specific Information
