This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Ms. E. Matson of this office on September 4, 1981, of activities authorized by NRC Byproduct Material Licenses No. 34-03362-02, No. 34-03362-03 and Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-1723 and to the discussion of our findings with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to radiatica safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of.a selective examination of pro-cedures and representative records, observations, independent measure-ments, and interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities under License No.
34-03362-02 appeared to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as specified in enclosed Appendix A.
A written response, submitted under oath or affirmation, is required. No items of noncompliance were identified for Licenses No. 34-03362-03 and SNM-1723.
This inspection also included a measurement of the output of your tele-therapy equipment. Our measurement wa* made using a Victoreen Model 570 Condenser R-Meter with Model 621 chamber, calibrated by the National Bureau of Standards Laboratory. The source-to-chamber distance was 80 centimeters and the field size used was ten by ten centimeters. After applying standard correction factors for temperature, pressure, atteaua-tion, chamber factor, time error, and roentgen-to-rad conversion, our measurement of the output of your teletherapy equipment was 95.6 rads per l

e Akron General Medical Center SEP 3 01981 minute in a water miniphantom. The most recent full calibration of your teletherapy equipment, conducted on March 31, 1981, reported a measured
-cutput for the same exposwe parameters of 100.2 rads per minute. Apply-ing a correction factor to account for five months and four days decay, the value calculated from the March 31, 1981, calibration becomes 94.72 rads per minute.
Based on the close agreement in measured output values, we feel the actual c wput of your teletherapy equipment to be within established guidelines of 15 percent.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
