NRC ORDER – ORDER

On October 19, 2007, an Order Suspending Licensed Activities (Effective Immediately) was issued to Alaska Industrial X-Ray, Inc. (AIX) based on the NRC's determination that all AIX radiographers, including AIX's Radiation Safety Officer, and assistants, violated 10 CFR 34.41(a) by performing industrial radiographic operations at a temporary job site with only one qualified individual present during operations. The evidence the NRC relied on indicates that these activities have occurred on numerous occasions, for a period of up to three years. Because the NRC issued a Notice of Violation on April 25, 2001, for a willful violation of 10 CFR 34.41(a) at the same client facility location, serious concerns were raised regarding AIX's willingness to comply with the Commission's requirements and its ability to conduct licensed activities without undue risk to the public's health and safety, resulting in the issuance of this order suspending all radiographic operations authorized by AIX's license.
