Linda, At Columbia, the RPM reports to the Plant Manager. NUREG-0731 and Reg Guide 8.8 provide the NRC guidance on the need for the RPM to maintain independence from Operations and have clear lines of authority to Plant Management.

Hi All, I know I've ended my subject sentence with a preposition, please don't send the grammar police my way. Diablo Canyon is in the middle of a re-organization and I have some questions about your Radiation Protection manager (RPM) reporting relationship. One option in the re-organization is to have the RPM report to the "Operations Services Director" who would have three OPS managers, one Chemistry manager and the RPM reporting to them. I think that may be inconsistent with the guidance in Rev 1 of Reg Guide 8.2. Prior to this potential change, our RPM has reported to the Station Director for a number of years. My question is: To whom does your RPM report? Thanks, Linda Linda M.
