Description

On May 17, 2016, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to FMC & Associates, LLC, for a Severity Level III problem for eight related violations. The first violation involved a failure to use a minimum of two independent physical controls that form tangible barriers to secure portable gauge from unauthorized removal in accordance with 10 CFR 30.34(i). Specifically, between November 1, 2014, and May 6, 2015, a portable gauge was stored in the trunk of a personal vehicle at a jobsite and the gauge was secured with only one tangible barrier (locked vehicle trunk) to prevent unauthorized removal when it was not under the control and constant surveillance. The seven other violations involved the failure to: (1) confine possession of byproduct material to the activity limit authorized on the NRC license; (2) perform physical inventories of radioactive sources/devices every six months; (3) perform annual radiation protection program reviews; (4) provide annual refresher training to authorized gauge users; (5) review and maintain occupational exposure records; (6) provide proper package labeling of transport gauges; and (7) include required information on shipping papers during transportation of gauges.
