On September 15, 2003, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $7,500 was issued for a Severity Level III problem involving: (1) the failure to verify, prior to transfer, that an individual was authorized to receive licensed material, and (2) the failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material (approximately 10 and 25 millicuries of americium-241 contained in two sealed sources) from unauthorized removal or access. 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 control of licensed material.
