Re: NRC Proposed Fine and Severity Level 1 Violation

[William V Lipton <liptonw@DTEENERGY.COM>]

I don't know.  The RSO should make sure it's someone else's decision.  The

policy should limit the RSO's responsibility to reporting the violation to

management and requesting their actions to regain compliance.



The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about dose, it's about trust.

Curies forever.
