A Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $2,750 was issued September 21, 2000. The action was based on packages offered for transport with the level of non-fixed radioactive contamination on the external package surface in excess of 22 dpm/cm2. The Severity Level III problem was based on: 1) failure to ensure surface contamination on shipping packages was within regulatory limits; 2) failure to follow your emergency procedures; and 3) failure to perform surveys that may be necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20.
