## Description

On October 25, 2010, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC), for a Severity Level III problem. The violations involved the licensee's failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of the licensed material in an unrestricted area as required by 10 CFR 20.1802 and failure to conduct operations so that the dose in any unrestricted area from external sources did not exceed 0.002 rem (0.02 millisievert) in any one hour. Specifically, between May 1 and 3, 2010, WRAMC did not control and maintain constant surveillance of packages containing licensed radioactive materials, which were improperly stored by WRAMC personnel in an unrestricted area under a counter in the concierge workstation, resulting in a dose greater than 0.002 rem in any one hour within the first floor lobby of the WRAMC.
