Review of Internal Company(Licensee)Audits by A Regulatory Inspector

["Dhar, Ashok K" <AKDHAR@MKG.COM>]

I'm interested in hearing from any one on OFFICIAL company positions
regarding:

	Can a NRC or an Agreement State Inspector DEMAND to see your internal 
	Radiation Safety AUDITS conducted by your Company Staff ?

Some of these audits may be conducted for Annual Rad Safety audits for Part
20 compliance
and others for compliance with license conditions (e.g.; Quarterly Audits)
and/or company SOPs.

I have not seen any guidance on this issue in NRC Regulatory Guides or any
where else.

We have both Broad Scope and Specific Licenses, and we are interested in
developing 
a Company Policy on this issue, instead of debating it with inspectors- who
may be themselves
used to handling this issue differently  with different licensees.  Our
facilities are subject to 
inspections by different NRC regions.  Also, How would other
agencies(e.g;DOT) react to a
company policy which is established for NRC/Agreement State licenses?

Thank You
