with our letter to you dated September 20, 1978.
During the inspection members of your Oconee staf f measured the amount of j
radioactive material in an h7C phantom on the whole body counter.
This measurement was also made by other NRC licensees and three Department of Energy laboratcries.
The results of these measurements are given in the enclosures to this letter. gives the results of the measurements made by your staf f, the actual amount of each radionuclide present in the phantom at the time of this measurement, and the ratio of measured to actual amounts. Enclosure 2 gives the ratio of each measurement result to the amount actually present in the phantom at the time of the measurement for all measurements made by DOE laboratories and b'RC licensees.
Power reactor facility values are denoted by single letters; Department of Energy laboratory values are denoted by double letters. discusses general recommendations based on the inspector's observations of these measurements.

Observations'by the inspector during the course of all phantom measurements
.I suggest three general recommendations for the improvement of the whole body
)
counting programs.
I 1
i i
1.
The spectrum resulting f rom each whole body count should be observed in its entirety in order that the presence of unexpected radionuclides will be recognized. Several licensees failed to recognize the presence of the Cc-57 apparently because its gamma energy falls outside a predetermined region of interest, 2.
Each licensee-should determine the energy response (energy / channel) of his detector 'ouer the full range of the spectrum. Several licensees 1
had difficulty identifying.the Co-57 once the presence of a low energy emitter was recognized because of the unexpected response of the detectors at low energies.
3.
Each licensee should consider some-sort of intercomparison or independent. standard test of his whole body counter (s)..
A test of this-nature might reveal problems not immediately apparent to an individual group working independently of all others.
