Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine, unannounced radiation safety inspection conductedby Ms. V. H. Campbell and Mr. A. D. Gaines of this office at your facilities onMarch 7,1989, of activities authorized by NRC Byproduct MaterialLicense 35-23160-01 and to the discussion of our findings with your staff atthe conclusion of the inspection. The enclosed NRC InspectionReport 30-20325/89-01 documents this inspection.

\

The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under the license asthey relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rulesand regulations and the conditions of the license. The inspection consisted ofselective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews ofpersonnel, independent measurements, and observations by the NRC inspector.During the inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violationof NRC requirements. We are releasing this report at this time for yourinformation. You are encouraged to review our findings and take correctiveaction as you believe appropriate. You will be notified by separatecorrespondence of our decision regarding enforcement action based on thefindings of this inspection. No written response is required at this time;however, you may, if you wish, provide a response that describes any correctiveactions taken.

This letter also confirms the telephone conversation between Dr. D. A. Powersof my staff and yourself on April 18, 1989, concerning our request to conduct atelephonic enforcement conference. The date agreed upon was April 28, 1989, at11:00 a.m. for this telephonic enforcement conference, which will address thefindings of the NRC inspection referenced above and your response to thesefindings.

The NRC inspection identified an apparent weakness in your program involvingthe training of personnel performing NRC licensed activities. It is imperativethat your responsible personnel understand all license requirements andcommitments made in t'he supporting documents of the license. Most of the NRCinspection findings indicate that, while your technologist appears to beknowledgeable in key procedures, she was not aware of many of the commitmentsmade in your license application. The NRC also noted that your out patient
