1.
10 CFR 34.11(d) states that the licensee will have an internal inspection system adequate to assure that commission regulations, commission license provisions and the applicants operating and emergency procedures are followed by radiographers and radio-graphers' assistants; the inspection system shall include the performance of internal inspections at intervals not to exceed three months and the retention of records of such inspections for two years.
Contrary to the above-referenced requirement, it was learned through statements of licensee representatives and the absence of records, that quarterly Jobsite Audits by your Radiation Safety Officer have not been conducted since July 1979.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
2.
10 CFR 34.29(b) requires that each entrance used for personnel access to the high rediation area in a permanent radiographic in-sta11ation have both visible and audible warning signals to warn of the presence of radiation.
