NRC ORDER – CPORDER

On July 31, 2014, the NRC issued an Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty to Geisser Engineering Corporation (GEC) in the amount of $8,400. GEC requested that the NRC mitigate the proposed civil penalty because it would pose a financial hardship. After considering the GEC's response, as well as information regarding the civil penalty assessed against GEC by the Commonwealth, the NRC decided to reduce GEC's civil penalty by 25% to $8,400. On March 20, 2014 (ML14079A503) Severity Level II Notice of Violation and Proposed Civil Penalty in the amount of $11,200 was issued to GEC. The action was based on a violation involving GEC's failure to file for reciprocity, on 22 occasions between October 21, 2009, and June 23, 2011, prior to using portable gauges containing licensed material within NRC jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut, and at the Newport Naval Station, Rhode Island.
