Palo Verde provides the following response:
Yes, Palo Verde requires a review by a supervisor or designated technicians of
each radiation and contamination survey.
Radiation and Contamination are quality assurance records with a lifetime
retention requirement (lifetime of the plant). This is defined in ANSI N45.2.9
- 1974, Requirements for Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Quality
Assurance Records for Nuclear Power Plants.
Section 3.2.1 describes the generation of records. This section describes the
signature requirements. "The applicable quality assurance records shall be
considered valid only if stamped, initialed, signed, or otherwise authenticated
and dated by authorized personnel. These records may be either the original or
a reproduced copy."
ANI Information Bulletin 80-1A rev 6 describes what should be on a survey:
* Location
* Date
* Time
* Survey information
* Technician signature
* Instrument
* Reference to RWP
* Other information which may be important
A supervisor review or second party verification is not strictly required.
However surveys are required for liability purposes and to comply with
regulations. Therefore, a review to verify the adequacy of the survey is
prudent.

Subject: Powernet: Review of radiation and contamination surveys
Does your facility require a reviewer to approve/sign off on each radiation and
contamination survey that is completed?
If you do, where do you see in regulations or other documents the requirement
for this approval/review?
Thank you in advance
Tom Meek, CHP
