SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION 150-00043/2018-001
Dear Mr. Mortensen:
On April 4, 2018, an unannounced inspection of Skyview Testing, Inc., was conducted at a temporary job site in Boise, Idaho. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
documented the results of the inspection in NRC Inspection Report 150-00043/2018-001 dated May 1, 2018, (NRC Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession ML18109A565) and advised you of an unresolved item regarding the use of direct ion storage (DIS) dosimeters (Mirion Instadose') to satisfy the regulatory requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 34.47 for personnel monitoring during radiographic operations.
The inspector reviewed the licensees compliance with personnel dosimetry requirements under 10 CFR 34.47 and determined that the licensee is using DIS dosimetry designed for remote data evaluation to meet this requirement. The inspector reviewed the conditions described in NRC Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 18-001, Interim Guidance for Dispositioning Apparent Violations of 10 CFR Parts 34, 36 and 39 Requirements Resulting from the use of Direct Ion Storage Dosimetry During Licensed Activities, dated May 11, 2018 (EA-18-081).
The inspector determined that: (1) the DIS dosimeters are being provided and dose data evaluated and reported for the dose of record by a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited processor; (2) the licensee and NVLAP processor have implemented specified quality controls to ensure that the dosimeter is calibrated and/or replaced appropriately; and (3) the licensee has maintained the necessary documentation and records to demonstrate that the criteria of EGM-18-001 are being implemented. The unresolved item documented in the subject inspection report is closed.
Future inspections will review and determine whether the criteria of EGM-18-001 continue to be met. If the NRC identifies that DIS dosimetry arrangements do not meet the criteria of EGM-18-001, a violation of 10 CFR 34.47(a) and (a)(3) will be considered. Such reviews will continue for as long as EGM-18-001 criteria remain in effect.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedures, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Jason vonEhr at 817-200-1186, or the undersigned at 817-200-1455.
Sincerely,
/RA/
