Description

On March 14, 2022, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Cultilux (licensee) for a Severity Level (SL) III problem associated with three (A+B+C) related violations. Based on the information developed during the inspection and the information provided by the licensee in response to the inspection report dated December 22, 2021, the NRC determined that three violations of NRC requirements occurred. The violations cited include the licensee’s: (A) failure to possess an NRC license prior to distributing byproduct material contrary to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 30.3(a), (B) failure to limit the distribution of ceramic metal halide bulbs to models authorized on the license contrary to 10 CFR 30.34(a) and License Conditions 6.A-9.A of NRC Materials License 17-35464-01 E, and (C) failure to file a report of all transfers of byproduct material with the Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards covering the preceding calendar year contrary to 10 CFR 32.16 (a) and 10 CFR 32.16 (c)(1). The NRC considers Violations A, B, and C to be significant violations because of the programmatic failures associated with the licensee’s distribution program. Accordingly, these violations are categorized collectively as a Severity Level III problem in accordance with Section 6.3.c.11 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
