## Description

On April 17, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued for a willful Severity Level III problem involving the failure to: (1) complete decommissioning of its site by the approved alternative decommissioning schedule, and (2) confine its storage of byproduct material to a location that was authorized by the license. Although the normal civil penalty assessment process would have resulted in a civil penalty, the NRC exercised discretion in accordance with Section VII.B.6 of the Enforcement Policy and refrained from issuing a civil penalty since the licensee no longer possessed licensed material.
