Good Samaritan Hospital License No. 34-00991-02 ATTN:
Ms. Elaine Banzhaf License No. 34-00991-03 Vice President Clifton and Dixmyth Avenues Cincinnati, Ohio 45220 Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
J. R. Mu11auer and J. L. Lynch of this office on March 11, 1982, of activities authorized by NRC Byproduct Material Licenses No. 34-00991-02 and No. 34-00991-03 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 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.
This inspection also included a measurement of the output of your teletherapy 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 ten by ten centimeters. After applying standard correction factors for temperature, pressure, attenuation, timer error, and roentgen-to-rad conversion, our measurement of the output of your teletherapy equipment was 114.4 rads per minute. The most recent spot check of your teletherapy equipment, conducted on February 26, 1982, reported a measured output for the same exposure parameters of 116.0 rads per minute. Applying a correction factor to account for 13 days decay, the value calculated from the February 26, 1982, calibration becomes 115.5 rads per minute.
Based on the close agreement in measured output values, we feel the actual output of your teletherapy equipment to be within established guidelines of 15 percent.
In addition to the above areas, the inspectors examined actions described in your letters dated April 5, 1977, and May 16, 1977, regarding apparent items of noncompliance found during our March 8,1977, and March 30,-1977, inspections. We have no further questions regarding these matters.
