Seaway Hospital License No. 21-16656-01 As a result of the inspection conducted on November 18, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:
1.
License Condition No. 16 requires that licensed material be possessed and used in accordance with statements, representations, and procedures contained in the application dated August 27, 1980.
Item 10 of this application states that the procedures described in Appendix D of the NRC Medical Licensing Guide, Revision 1, dated November 1, 1977, will be used for calibration of the dose calibrator.
Appendix D requires that daily constancy, using both cobalt-57 and cesium-137 standards, and quarterly linearity checks of the dose calibrator be performed and recorded.
Contrary to this requirement, dose calibrator.linearity checks have not been performed quarterly and daily constancy checks have not been performed as described in Appendix D.
Specifically, only one linearity check was performed in the last two years and daily constancy checks have been performed using only a cesium-137 standard.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
t 2.
License Condition No. 16 requires that licensed material be possessed and used in accordance with statements, representations, and procedures j
contained in the application dated August 27, 1980.
Item 17 of this application states that the survey procedures described in Appendix I of the NRC Medical Licensing Guide, dated November 1, 1977, will be followed. Appendix I requires analysis of area wipe tests be sufficiently sensitive to detect 100 dpm.
Contrary to this requirement, your present method of analyzing area wipe tests is not sufficiently sensitive to detect 100 dpm.
Specifi-cally, it was found during the inspection that your wipe tests have been analyzed using a Victoreen Cutie Pie, which is incapable of detecting contamination levels as low as 100 dpm.
This is a Severity Level VI violation (Supplement VII).
