On November 26, 2003, 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 (approximately 78 millicuries of strontium-90 in a sealed source capsule) in an unrestricted area, and failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of this licensed material, resulting in the loss of the source into the public domain (most likely the county landfill). 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.
