o 7; a June 2,1999 Mr:Ilubert Miller

Regional Administrator, Region 1 ' -

L,' ReiReply to a Notice of Violation Dear Mr. Miller This purpose of this statement is to respond to the Notice of Violation that I received from your Office,

> dated May 12,1999. I do not wish to' contest this enforcement action.

The reasons for the violation:

. It is my belief that my over-confidence, my complacency, my focus of"getting the job done", a culture

ofinconsistent and inadequate procedural compliance, and a lack of corrective feedback led to my

. unacceptable survey practices and documentation. It is also my belief that some or all of these factors contributed to my assuming that procedural compliance, survey practices and documentation were accurate and complete during questioning by your Office.

The corrective stens that have been taken and the ree ults achieved:

Disciplinary actions were taken by CYAPCo against me. In addition, I was placed on a performance monitoring and evaluation period with no Lead Health Physics responsibilities. This performance monitoring and evaluation period was completed successfully and I have since returned to full Health Physics Technician duties and responsibilities. My own resections, new CY Management, new Health Physics Management, and new Health Physics Standards and Expectations have allowed me to better  ;

Lunderstand the seriousness of, and necessity for, strict procedural compliance and accurate and complete documentation.

The corrective steos that have been taken to avoid further violations:

' Individual and departmental emphasis is placed on new Health Physics Standards and Expectations for procedural compliance and documentation. This was accomplished through individual and departmental training for new Health Physics procedures. In addition, I now try to maintain a conservative, questioning

)

attitude rather than one of"getting the job done". It is my belief that my work performance since December of 1996, including working on the Radiation Protection Improvement Plan, has demonstrated my commitment to rigorous procedural compliance.

I believe that the above issues have been resolved and I hope that no further action by your Office is I n necessary. Please contact me if additional information is necessary, ,
