Background:
An NRC notice of proposed rulemaking ( FR39168) was published in the Federal Register on October 4, 1984. The proposed rule would require that radiography licensees: perform a time-of-storage survey for radiography devices, including a measurement of the exposure rate at the source outlet port; change a record keeping requirement from the last-use survey to the proposed time-of-storage survey, and provide a definition of storage area. The changes regarding the time of storage survey were in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co.
In addition the notice of proposed rulemaking would codify present licensing practice by amending the regulation regarding licensee's internal inspection programs. The existing rule requires that licensees have in-house inspection programs which include the performance of internal inspections at intervals not to exceed three months. Licensing and Inspection / Enforcement offices have interpreted this rule to mean that the licensee describe his inspection program in license applications and conduct safety performance inspections of all radiographers and radiographers' assistants at intervals not to exceed three months. The proposed rule would provide clarifying language so as to codify this existing licensing practice.
As a result of the analysis of public comments'and further staff discussions the final rule is unchanged with the exception that a measurement of the exposure rate at the source outlet port is deleted. A requirement for this measurement is now considered to be unnecessary.
