Additional Details for Disclosure Questions 1-11 

Please specify the number of the question(s) for which you are giving additional details. 

Question #2

During my employment at the Fernald Site, I was involved in audits of dosimetry program 

practices at the DOE sites indicated in the attached list. These audits typically involved a one to 

two day site visit followed by a report that highlighted my observations of the strengths and 

weaknesses of the program. My recommendations were provided to the site contractor who 

directed their responses to the Department of Energy. I was not involved in any follow-up 

activities to close-out the results of the audit. These audits were conducted as part of my official 

duties at the Fernald site and I was not compensated by any of these sites.
