On May 18, 2009, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to the Department of the Air Force for a Severity Level III failure to implement 10 CFR 35.3047. Specifically, as of August 14, 2008, the licensee failed to notify by telephone the NRC Operations Center no later than the next calendar day after discovery of a dose to an embryo/fetus that is greater than a 5 rem (50 millisievert) dose equivalent that results from an administration of byproduct material to a pregnant individual unless specifically approved by an authorized user physician. On August 13, 2008, the licensee discovered that an embryo/fetus had received a dose of approximately 31.5 rem (50 millisievert) as a result of a sodium iodine-131administration to a pregnant individual and did not notify the NRC Operations Center until September 5, 2008.
