The RSO on call
when it matters.

We stand between ionizing radiation and the people who work near it. Our certified RSOs manage every compliance requirement so your facility directors can focus on operations — not audit prep.

Hospital Radiation Oncology

NRC audit support, linear accelerator program management, and authorized medical physicist coordination.

Industrial Radiography

Field RSO coverage, film badge program management, and DOT shipping compliance for mobile operations.

University Research Labs

Unsealed source authorization, grad student training programs, and laboratory decommissioning support.

Veterinary Practices

State radiation control program compliance, equipment registration, and staff dose monitoring.

// High-Stakes Scenarios

When compliance
buckles.

These are the scenarios where in-house programs fail under their own weight. The cost isn't just citations — it's operational shutdown.

High Stakes
Unplanned Radiation Exposure

Overexposure Investigation & NRC Notification

When a worker exceeds dose limits, the NRC notification clock starts immediately. Response quality in the first 24 hours determines citation severity.

In-House RSO
Dosimetry RSO
NRC notification (10 CFR 20.2202)
Often missed or late
Within 4 hours of determination
Root cause investigation
No formal protocol
Structured 5-Why + RCA report
Corrective action plan
Informal, undocumented
Written CAP submitted to NRC
Worker medical coordination
Facility manages alone
RSO coordinates with HP physician
Avg. Incident Cost
$45,000+ (avg. incident cost)
Our Fee
Included in contract
Regulatory Risk
Critical — Late notification = 10x fine multiplier
Regulatory Risk
Controlled — Protocol-driven response

10 CFR 20.2202 — Overexposure must be reported within 24 hours. Late reports trigger formal investigations.

High Stakes
NRC Inspection Response

Routine Inspection Preparation & Response

NRC inspectors arrive with a standard inspection procedure. Facilities without an active RSO program fail the same items every cycle.

In-House RSO
Dosimetry RSO
Pre-inspection audit
Rarely performed
90-day pre-inspection mock audit
Document production (2-hr request)
4–8 hours (partial)
Under 90 minutes, complete
Inspector escort
RSO alone, unprepared
Lead RSO + documentation specialist
Post-inspection response letter
Legal review required
Drafted within 48 hours
Avg. Incident Cost
$28,000+ (citation + legal)
Our Fee
Included — re-audit free if cited
Regulatory Risk
Critical — 67% of in-house programs receive citations
Regulatory Risk
Minimal — 0 citations in 47 consecutive inspections

NRC Inspection Procedure 86010 — Inspectors review 12 standard program elements. Most in-house programs fail 3–5.

Critical Incident
License Amendment

NRC License Amendment & Renewal

Adding isotopes, increasing possession limits, or changing authorized users requires formal amendment. Errors cause 6–18 month delays and operational shutdowns.

In-House RSO
Dosimetry RSO
Amendment application prep
RSO writes alone (errors common)
Senior HP + regulatory writer team
NRC correspondence management
Delayed responses (30–90 days)
Responded within 5 business days
Authorized user qualification review
Not independently verified
Credential audit before submission
Approval timeline
12–24 months (avg with errors)
4–8 months (clean submissions)
Avg. Incident Cost
$60,000+ (delays + legal + lost ops)
Our Fee
$4,800 flat fee
Regulatory Risk
Critical — Operational shutdown risk during amendment gap
Regulatory Risk
Managed — NRC review inherently unpredictable

10 CFR 30.38 / 35.13 — Unauthorized use of unapproved isotopes during amendment = immediate license suspension.

What facility directors say

"We had our first clean NRC inspection in eleven years. The pre-inspection mock audit they ran was more thorough than the real thing."

Dr. Margaret Osei, Director of Radiation Oncology at Lakefront Regional Medical Center, Illinois

"Our field technicians work in 14 states. Dosimetry manages all our film badge programs and DOT compliance. I haven't touched a shipping manifest in two years."

Travis Kowalski, Safety Director at PipelineView Industrial NDT, Texas

Safety Director

"When our grad student had an accidental intake, Dosimetry had the NRC notification filed within three hours. We avoided what could have been a six-figure citation."
