On January 4, 2002, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level III violation involving the licensee allowing an individual to work as an authorized nuclear pharmacist (ANP) without notifying the NRC within 30 days licensee after the date that the licensee allowed the individual to work as an ANP. Although a civil penalty would normally have been proposed in this case, the NRC exercised discretion in accordance with Section VII.B.6 of the Enforcement Policy and refrained from issuing a penalty. Discretion was warranted because the NRC concluded that the potential safety consequences were low, the pharmacist was forthcoming during the NRC's inspection, the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) promptly initiated supervision of the pharmacist upon being informed of the inspection finding, and all individuals involved accepted responsibility for the violation and cooperated during the investigation.
