On October 31, 2012, the NRC issued a Severity Level III Notice of Violation (NOV) to Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (CIL) for violations of 10 CFR 110.20, “General license information,” and 10 CFR 110.24, “General license for the export of deuterium.” Between 2007 and 2011, CIL failed to file an application with the Commission for specific export licenses to export deuterium, a material subject to NRC licensing jurisdiction in accordance with 10 CFR 110.9 when exporting this material in excess of the quantities covered by the general license requirements of 10 CFR 110.24. During this time, CIL exported deuterium (1) in excess of the 200 kilogram (kg)/year limit set by 10 CFR 110.24(a) to China and Japan in the years 2010 and 2011, and (2) in excess of the 5 kg/year limit set by 10 CFR 110.24(b) to restricted destinations per 10 CFR 110.29, India and Israel, in the years 2007-2011, without applying for and obtaining NRC specific licenses.
