Gentlemen:
"
This refers to a telephone inquiry conducted by Frances.Roselinsky,_of this
office, on January 6, 1987.
The inquiry was an examination of activities conducted under your license as
they relate to radiation safety and to compliance of the Commission's rules
and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inquiry
consisted of discussions with Stephen C. Ede, Vice President.
As a result of this examination of activities, regulatory concerns were noted
and are specified below. These may be evaluated at an onsite inspection at
your facility in the near future.
As_you described on the telephone, the following apparent regulatory concerns
were identified:
-
1. Failure to leak test sealed sources at the required intervals.
2. Failure to perform physical inventories at the required intervals.
It is our understanding that these items will be corrected. A license
amendment will bel required to change leak test intervals from 6 months to 36
months. Physical ~ inventories will be conducted every 6 months, and records-
of these invento' ries will be maintained.
If you have any questions regarding this inquiry, you may contact R. D.
Thomss at (415).943-3763.
, Sincerely,
. , ,
