Description

On March 11, 2020, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Exercise of Discretion to Schultz Surveying & Engineering, Inc. (Licensee) for a Severity Level III problem associated with three related violations. The violations involved the licensee’s failure to: (a) have the named individual on its license perform the duties and responsibilities of the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) as required by License Condition No. 11 of NRC License No. 24-32159-01; (b) transfer the byproduct material to an authorized person as required by Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 30.41(a); and (c) provide a written response to an April 30, 2018, Order revoking the license based on non-payment of license fees. Specifically, the RSO named on the license left the employment and there was no qualified RSO since December 2016, and on January 31, 2017, the licensee transferred byproduct material to a person not authorized to receive such byproduct material under terms of a specific license or a general license or their equivalents issued by the Atomic Energy Commission, the NRC, or an Agreement State. As part of its corrective actions, the licensee submitted a request to terminate its NRC license. In accordance with Section 3.6 of the Enforcement Policy, the NRC exercised discretion to not propose a civil penalty and terminated the license on February 20, 2020.
