## Description

On September 3, 2013, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order to Bradley D. Bastow, D. O. to formalize commitments made as a result of an ADR mediation session. The commitments were made by Dr. Bastow as part of a settlement agreement between himself and the NRC regarding apparent violations of NRC requirements. The agreement resolves the apparent failure to: (1) ensure completeness and accuracy of information, (2) perform daily contamination surveys as required, (3) calibrate survey instruments annually, (4) issue a whole body radiation exposure measuring device to an individual who was occupationally exposed to ionizing photon radiation on a regular basis, (5) to read film badges on a monthly basis and the results were not evaluated by the radiation safety officer, (6) ensure sealed sources were leak tested at 6 months intervals, (7) conduct a semi-annual physical inventory of all sealed sources in its possession, and (8) ensure that radiation safety activities are being performed in accordance with licensee-approved procedures and regulatory requirements. Dr. Bastow agreed to a number of corrective actions, including completing a medical radiation safety officer refresher training class and meeting with and "shadowing" another radiation safety officer who oversees a nuclear medical program. Dr. Bastow also agreed to a Notice of Violation and to pay a civil penalty of $1,000. In consideration of these commitments, the NRC agreed to not to pursue any further enforcement action in connection this matter.
