The information in the oral directive must be documented in writing as soon as possible. A treatment plan must be prepared within 48 hours of the oral directive.

(3)   Permittees shall retain records of each treatment plan for 3 years.

(c)   Procedures for treatment planning and administration of therapeutic radiation. Permittees shall develop, implement and maintain written procedures to provide high confidence that:
