Description

On March 30, 2012, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to InstroTek/CPN International (CPN) for a Severity Level III problem. The violations involved licensee’s failure to: 1) obtain a specific license to export byproduct materials to embargoed destinations as required by 10 CFR110.5; and 2) submit annual reports of americium exports as required by 10 CFR110.23(b) (currently 110.54(b)). Specifically, on November 20, 2008, and May 5, 2010, CPN exported americium-241 and cesium-137 byproduct materials subject to NRC licensing jurisdiction, to embargoed destinations (Iraq and Sudan), without a specific license as required.
