Big Inch Fabrications, 6127 US-36 Montezuma, IN 47862 17. Scope and Observations:

This was an unannounced reciprocity inspection of a non-destructive testing company authorized to use Ir-192 for industrial radiography at temporary locations in NRC jurisdiction; the licensee possessed one SPEC Model 150 radiographic exposure device. At the time of the inspection, there was one carded radiographer and one assistant.

During the inspection, the inspectors toured the licensee's trailer to evaluate the licensee's measures for material security, access control, postings, and exposure control. During the tour, the inspectors verified the licensee's equipment and instrumentation appeared to be operational, in good material condition, and calibrated. There were no scheduled exposures to observe, but the radiographers demonstrated the licensee's procedures for boundary setup at the temporary job sites. The inspector also interviewed the radiographer regarding routine inspection and maintenance of equipment, source exchanges, and emergency response procedures. The inspector also reviewed a selection of records associated with instrumentation calibration, radiographer field logs, equipment inspections, leak test results, and shipping papers.

No violations of NRC requirements were identified as a result of this inspection.
