NRC ORDER – ORDER

On October 11, 2012, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) to DBI, Inc. to formalize commitments made as a result of an ADR mediation session held on September 6, 2012. The commitments were made as part of a settlement agreement regarding apparent violations identified during an inspection and investigation involving the failure to: (1) conduct a survey when approaching the radiography camera and guide tube; (2) have at least one other qualified individual present while performing radiography; (3) supervise the assistant radiographer; and (4) provide complete and accurate information to the Commission. DBI, Inc. agreed to a number of corrective actions, including paying a civil penalty of $3,500, making improvements to operating and emergency procedures, and conducting employee training on the importance of complying with NRC regulations including examples of willful violations.
