Description

On March 14, 2022, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Northwest Inspection, Inc. (licensee) for a Severity Level (SL) III violation. Based on the information developed during the inspection and the information provided by the licensee in response to the inspection report dated January 7, 2022, the NRC determined that one violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation cited was based on the licensee’s failure to ensure that a radiographer’s assistant wore a personnel dosimeter while performing radiographic operations contrary to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 34.47 (a). The NRC considers this violation to be significant because of the potential for radiological exposure in excess of regulatory limits. Accordingly, this violation is categorized as a Severity Level III violation in accordance with Section 6.3.c.4.b of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
