On April 6, 2006, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in the amount of $19,500, was issued for three Severity Level III problems associated with violations of NRC requirements. The 1st Severity Level III problem involved the licensee’s failure, after performing radiographic operations, to: 1) survey the radiographic exposure device and guide tube to determine that the sealed source had been returned to its shielded position, prior to dismantling the equipment; and 2) secure the sealed source in the shielded position after the source was returned to the shielded position. The 2nd Severity Level III problem involved the licensee’s failure, at a field location, to: 1) have two qualified individuals present when a radiographic exposure was being performed; and 2) have a qualified individual directly observe the radiographic assistant perform radiographic operations. The 3rd Severity Level III problem involved the licensee’s failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material that is in a controlled or unrestricted room and that is not in storage; and 2) the licensee’s failure to immediately report to the NRC missing licensed material, iridium-2 in a radiographic exposure device (i.e., licensed material in an aggregate quantity greater than 1,000 times the quantity specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix C), that could result in an exposure to persons in an unrestricted area. A base civil penalty in the amount of $6,500 was imposed for each of the three problems, resulting in a civil penalty of $19, 500.
