On January 25, 2016, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,500 to Megan, LLC for a Severity Level III violation. The violation involved a failure to use two independent controls to secure portable gauges from unauthorized removal whenever the gauges were not under licensee control or constant surveillance as required by 10 CFR 30.34(i). Specifically, on August 12, 2015, Megan, LLC kept the gauge in a locked trunk of the car with the locked transportation case secured to the vehicle and the vehicle was unlocked, allowing access to a mechanism which could be used to open the trunk of the vehicle. The gauge user was in a trailer at the temporary jobsite and was not keeping the gauge under control and constant surveillance.
