The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and the conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the inspector, and observations by the inspector.
In addition, the inspector made independent measurements of the radiation output of your teletherapy unit using ionization chambers. These measurements were made as part of our ongoing program of evaluating the performance of teletherapy units as documented in Bulletin 76-08 which was sent to you in August,1976.
Der measurements agree within +1.0% of the value used for treatment purposes.
Our value is consistant with your measurements and is within acceptable limits.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activi-ties were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These items of noncompliance have been categorized into the levels as described in our corres-pondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
