St. Anthony Hospital License N&. /13-13144'-02 ATTN: Sister Jane Marie Iicence No. 11-1144-01 Administrator 301 W. Homer Street Michigan City, IN 46360 Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. J. R. Mu11auer of this office on November 3,1981, of activities authorized by NRC Byproduct Material Licenses No. 13-13144-02 and No. 13-13144-01 and to the discussion of our findings with you and Messrs. Kevin Leahy and Gary Lingenfelter at the conclusion of the inspection.
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 with the conditions of your license. The inspec-tion consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, observations, independent measurements, and interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-compliance with NRC requirements, as specified in enclosed Appendix A.
A written response, submitted under oath or affirmation, is required.
This inspection also included a measurement of the output of your tele-l therapy equipment. Our measurement was 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 10 by 10 centimeters. After applying standard correction factors for temperature, pressure, chamber correction and timer error, our measurement of the output of your teletherapy equipment was l
60.1 roentgens per minute. The monthly decay chart for November 15, 1981, j
reported a measured output for the same exposure parameters of 58.6 roentgens l
per minute. Applying a correction factor to account for 12 days decay, the l
value calculated from the NRC calibration becom < 59.8 roentgens per minute.
l l
-Based on the close agreement in measured output values, we feel the actual output of your teletnerapy equipment to be within established guidelines of 5 percent.
