Presentation Topic:

“Update on Decommissioning Progress
 at the Advanced Medical Systems (AMS) Site in Cleveland, OH”

Speaker Bio: 

Charles (Chuck) McCracken has been with the decommissioning program at the Ohio Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Protection for the past thirteen (13) years, with the last three as the program’s Supervisor. Before that, he worked 11 years as a Health Physics Technician at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant. Chuck has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiation Protection from Thomas Edison State College.  

This is expected to be a very interesting talk. Past AMS sewer disposal practices lead to significant levels of Co-60 contamination being detected in the 1990s at one of the waste treatment facilities in the Cleveland area. Chuck’s talk will discuss the contamination found at the AMS site and the sites’ subsequent decommissioning.

CRS By-laws and Rules of Operations
 If a quorum attends, there will be a vote on the drafted revision to the CRS By-Laws and new CRS Rules of Operations. Copies attached. (The CRS has been attempting to complete this process for several years. The primary reasons for the revisions are to bring the CRS into the 21st century (e.g., allow for computer voting) and so the rules meet the needs of a smaller CRS.
