Description

On January 14, 2021, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $8,500 to Western Soil, Inc. This action is based on a Severity Level (SL) III violation involving an Order issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on July 8, 2019 (ML19184A099). The Order notified the licensee that Western Soil’s NRC License No. 52-21368-01 was revoked, effective 20 days from the date of the Order, unless within the 20-day period, the licensee paid all debts due to NRC. Because the licensee did not pay its debts, Western Soil’s license was revoked, and authorized activities were limited to decommissioning and to safe, secure storage, or transfer of material. Further, the licensee was required, within 60 days of the date of revocation, to dispose of or transfer to another authorized recipient all NRC-licensed material. Because the NRC’s primary interest in this matter remains ensuring that the licensee meets its obligation to properly decommission its facility, the NRC proposed to not impose the civil penalty if the licensee properly disposes of or transfers its licensed material within 60 days of the date of the Notice. On September 21, 2021, the NRC acknowledged the proper disposal of licensed material by Western Soil, Inc. on August 25, 2021. Therefore, the NRC did not impose the civil penalty.
