## Description

On October 16, 2020, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation (Notice) to Sanford Medical Center (Licensee) for a Severity Level III problem associated with three related violations. The violations involved the licensee’s failure to: (a) monitor occupational exposure of workers from licensed and unlicensed sources of radiation as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.1502(a)(1); (b) develop and implement certain elements of its radiation protection program in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1101(a); and (c) provide instructions to individuals in accordance with 10 CFR 19.12(a)(3). Specifically, during specific timeframes identified in the Notice, the licensee did not monitor the occupational exposure to radiation from unlicensed radiation sources and the use of individual monitoring devices by an authorized user, did not provide instructions for further investigation or other actions when there was a discrepancy in dosimetry readings, and failed to provide adequate instructions regarding the proper use of personnel dosimeters to an authorized user who was likely to receive an occupational dose in excess of the required annual limit. Additionally, a Severity Level IV violation was issued to the licensee for failing to submit a written report within 30 days after learning of a dose in excess of the occupational dose limits for adults in 10 CFR 20.1201 as required by 10 CFR 20.2203(a)(2)(i).
