On March 3, 2004, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,000 was issued for a Severity Level III violation involving the failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material (11 millicuries of cesium-137 and 40 millicuries of americium-241 in a portable gauge) in a controlled or restricted area, resulting in the loss of the gauge during transport. 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.
