As* of June 16, 1992, the licensee did not mak~ surveys of the radwaste building roof to assure compliance with that part of 10 CFR 20.101 that limits the radiation exposure to the whole body.
- b.
As of July 19, 1992, the licensee did not make surveys around a seavan to assure compliance with that part of 10 CFR 20.101 that
.limits the radiation exposure to the whole body.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
