The results of this inspection were also reviewed with you and your staff in an Enforcement Conference on May 8, 1981. That conference will be described in an NRC report which will be distributed later.
The inspection was an examination of the 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 and observations by the inspector.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities appeared to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements. The items and references to the pertinent requirements are listed in Appendix A.
These items have been categorized into severity levels as described in the Federal Register Notice (45 FR66754) dated October 7,1980.
