From the summarized Notice of Violation, dated August 5, 1993, "a
licensee radiographer did not perform an adequate survey".
In
actuality it was an assistant radiographer that did not perform
the proper survey.
This does,not change the fact that the proper
survey was not completed,
and that the responsible licensed
radiographer at the site should have made sure the proper survey
was made.
,
i
In the above :ase the reason seems to be laziness on the part of
the radiographer.
He stated they didn't - know why the proper
survey was not performed, but said he did understand the entire
circumference was supposed to be surveyed after each radiographic
exposure.
The reason
for the violation was
the
assistant
'
radiographer and radiographer not following proper procedures.
During the 3rd quarter internal inspection I talked with the
radiographer and all other radiographers and assistants about the
violation,
cause,
and what needed to be done so no future
'
violations are made.
We went over the Operating & Emergency
Procedures,
physically demonstrated the survey of the entire
circumference
on
the
exposure
devise
and
cuestioned
the
radiographer on other areas of interest pertaining to surveys.
i
The importance of this survey (circumference around the exposure
devise and source guide tube), all other surveys and personnel
following O & E procedures were stressed during the inspection.
Future quarterly internal inspections will place more emphasis on
surveying the entire circumference of the radiographic exposure
devise and the source guide tube, with actual demonstrations.
Importance of all other surveys along with other inspection
requirements.
All new assistant radiographers and radiographers
will be required to demonstrate proper surveying techniques, if
the individual needs additional training, they will be required
to document the training prior to radiographic work.
Their
,
signature vil1 acknowledge they fully understand proper surveys
-
and their importance.
