If there ar!9 any errors or questions; please notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region I .Office, Licensing Assistance Team, (610) 337-5239, so that we can provide appropriate corrections and answers.

The NRG expects licensees.to conduct their.program·s with ,rietlculous attention to detail and high standards of cprnplianc_e.

Question 7.

Your renewal appllcatiOn (Item 10. 8-Daily Quality Assurance and Addendum K) descn"bss checks to be perfonned each day ofpatisnt treatment. Please update these procedures to comply with all of the requirements of10 CFR 35.643, Including verlncatlon of proper operation of(1) source eKposure indicator lights on the remote. sttertoade,: unit, on the control console, and fn the faclllty; (2) emergency response equipment,· (3) clock (date and time} In il,e HOR un;tt computer; and (4) decayed source activity In the unit •s comp¢er. Describe your method for checking proper operation of the area radiation monitor. Describe your method for checking timer ~ccuracy and range of acceptable results •

. CART Associates response: CART Associates updated the HOR treatment procedures to include proper operation of ( 1) source exposure Indicator lights on the remote after1oader unit, on the control console, and In the facility; (2) emergency response equipment; (3) clock (date and time) In the HOR unlfs computer; and (4) decayed source activity In the collSole computer. Documentation for the completion of the procedures Is included on the Patient Treatment Qu~llty Assurance fonn. This fonn Is appended to this response.

The following. methoc;I is used for checking proper operation of the area radiation monitor. Nuclear Associates Primalert 10.

a.) Disconnect the detectorfrom the primary power source. b.) Place a 1 O mlcroCurie Cesium 137 source on the .face of the unit.

Proper operation is Indicated by a flashing red light.

The following method is used for checking proper operation of the console timer. The treatment delivery unit is connected lo an optical sowce viewing system and positioned in a ·manner to pennlt visualization with a remote CCTV (see attached photographs). The delivery console unit is programmed to position the source at an appropriate dweU position for a preset time. The observer initiates a digital timerwhen the source reaches the dwell position and terminates the timer when the source leaves the position. The digital measuring device has an accuracy of .01 sec. However the technique accuracy is l!mlted by the response.tim~ of the observer, which Is known to be less than 0.5.seconds. The technique is used for a minimum of two times on every treatment day. The times are seiected to be less than and greater than the actual clinical treatment time. The accuracy of this technique of timer accuracy determination is less than 0.5 seconds. The measurement for a setting of 100 seconds must be betvi.een 99.5 and 100.5 seconds.

PROGRAM SCOPE

This Was a routine, unannounced Inspection of the licensee. This is a freestanding clinic performing· cancer treatments using a high dose-rate remote afterloader. The·llcensee treats approximately.25 patients per year for breast and gynecological cancers. For treatments using the mammosite device, the licensee uses ultrasound prior t.o each fractionated treatment to verify proper inflation of the balloon. Two authorized medical physicists and one authorized user are primarily involved in the treatments. The source is replaced approximately every · four months, with the most recerit source received January 2005. Dose rates around the new area of use were 'measured, and no con~ms were noted. In addition, the inspectors verified that treatments were conducted with sources of less thari 10 curies of 1:1ctivity.

'

The subjects in Tl 2800-032 were reviewed during the inspection, 1:1nd no concerns were identified. :

,summary:

NRC received the fax of the front page of a California radioactive materials license listing Dr. Baker as RSO and listing HDR as an authorized use. This license does

r not, however, show Dr. Baker as AMP for HOR. I asked Or; Baker to provide either a

I copy of a license listing him as AMP for HOR within the past 7 years or a statement l signed by another authorized individual, documenting_ Dr. Baker's recent HOR

experience.

Dr. Baker's first day of work is today. I asked Linnie whether any patients are ! scheduled for HDR treatments and how urgent the need is to add Dr. Baker to the license. She said she does not anticipate any HOR treatments until August.
