On December 31, 2018, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of a Civil Penalty in the amount of $7,250 to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), for a Severity Level III violation. The violation involves the failure of USGS to maintain complete and accurate records in all material respects. Specifically, on or about April 11, 2017, the Reactor Manager created inaccurate records by deliberately preparing documents indicating that all operators had completed their required training when the required training had not taken place, and then provided these documents to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspector during an inspection at the USGS reactor facility Denver Federal Center in April 2017.
