On August 16, 2001, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level III problem involving deliberate improper disposal of radioactive material generated from the cleanup of a broken exit sign and deliberate submittal of inaccurate information to the NRC. Although a base civil penalty would normally be proposed for this case, the NRC exercised enforcement discretion in accordance with Section VII.B.6 of the Enforcement Policy and refrained from issuing a civil penalty because the licensee was issued a civil penalty for the event by the State of South Carolina and the licensee is no longer a general licensee.
