Appendix NOTICE OF VIOLATION St. Anthony's Ifospital License No. 12-12189-01 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 15, 1982, 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 all licensed material be pos-sessed and used in accordance with statements, representations and procedures contained in application dated January 31, 1979, letter received January 19, 1981, and letter dated April 16, 1981.
The license application dated January 31, 1979, states that labora-tories where only small quantities (less than 100 microcuries) of radioactive material are used will be surveyed monthly. The monthly survey will consist of:
a.
a measurement of radiation levels with a survey meter sufficiently sensitive to dstect 0.1 mr/hr, and b.
a series of wipe tests to measure contamination levels. The method for performing wipe tests will be sufficiently sensitive to detect 100 cpm.
A permanent record of all survey results will be kept.
Contrary to these requirements, monthly wipe tests of the in vitro laboratory were not performed since the date of license issuance.
Records of the monthly G-M surveys of the in vitro laboratory were not kept since the date of license issuance.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
2.
License Condition No. 16 requires that all licensed material be pos-sessed and used in accordance with statements, representations and procedures contained in application dated January 31, 1979, letter received January 19, 1981, and letter dated April 16, 1981.
The letter dated April 16, 1981, states that the air flow rates in the imaging room will be checked on a quarterly basis using an air flow velometer.
82020902EE 820203 NMS LIC30 12-12189-01 PDR
Appendix Contrary to this requirement, the last check of the air flow rate in the imaging room was on June 8,19'"..
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
3.
10 CFR 20.201(b) requires that you make such surveys as may be necessary to comply with all sections of Part 20.
Contrary to this requirement, you failed to make such surveys as were necessary to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.301, a regulation that describes authorized means of disposing of licensed material contained in waste. Specifically, the in vitro laboratory personnel failed to perform surveys of iodine-125 contaminated waste to assure that no measurable radiation levels above backround were present before disposal as normal trash.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item of noncom-pliance:
(1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) cor-rective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
Dated d-/Tk D. G. Wiedeman, Acting Chief Materials Radiation Protection Section 1
