Description

On January 22, 2009, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level III problem. The violations involved the failure to comply with license condition and to provide event notification as required, in a timely manner. Specifically, on August 20, 2008, the licensee had an event where a radiography camera was disabled and failed to function as designed. The lead radiographer and the field Radiation Safety Officer, who were not trained or authorized by the NRC license, conducted source retrieval activities and shielded-down a source. In addition, the licensee did not notify the NRC until September 3, 2008, two weeks after this event.
