Description

On August 1, 2014, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to ConAgra Foods for a Severity Level III Problem involving three violations. The first violation involved the failure to transfer or dispose of a device containing byproduct material only by export as provided by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(7), by transfer to another general licensee as authorized in 10 CFR 31.5(c)(9), or to a person authorized to receive the device by a specific license as required by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(8)(i). Specifically, on December 18, 2013, the licensee reported that two gauges and four exit signs were missing from their facility. The second violation involved the failure to furnish a report to the Director, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME), within 30 days after the transfer of a device to a specific licensee or export. Specifically, between November 8, 2004, and December 8, 2004, the licensee transferred a generally licensed device to a specific licensee, the manufacturer, Industrial Dynamics, Inc., on November 8, 2004, and did not provide a report to FSME until December 18, 2013. The third violation involved the licensee holding devices that were not in use for longer than 2 years. 10 CFR 31.5(c)(15) provides an exception to the two-year limit, if the general licensee performs quarterly physical inventories of these devices while they are in standby. However, as of April 21, 2014, the licensee held in its possession four generally licensed devices for greater than two years that were not in use and without conducting quarterly inventories.
