On June 21, 2002, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,000 was issued for a Severity Level III problem involving the failure to secure from unauthorized removal or limit access to licensed material (2.6 millicuries of iridium-192) contained in a brachytherapy ribbon and the failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of this licensed material and the failure to perform a survey for radioactive material. Although the civil penalty would have been fully mitigated based on the normal civil penalty assessment process, a base civil penalty was assessed in accordance with Section VII.A.1.g of the Enforcement Policy to reflect the significance of maintaining the control of licensed material.
