ASNT Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Practice Test

For how long must dosimetry reports from the processor be maintained by the licensee?

1. Until the reports are no longer needed

2. Until the commission revokes the license

3. Until the commission terminates the license

4. For five years after processing

The correct answer is: Until the commission terminates the license

The correct answer regarding the duration for which dosimetry reports must be maintained by the licensee is that these reports should be kept until the commission terminates the license. Maintaining dosimetry reports is essential for monitoring radiation exposure to workers and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. The commission's termination of the license indicates that the licensee is no longer authorized to operate in that capacity, making it important to have a complete record of radiation exposure during the period of licensure. This record can be relevant for audits, inspections, and any potential liability issues that may arise even after operations have ceased. Keeping reports until the termination of the license ensures that all necessary documentation is available for review and accountability purposes.
