IAORDER 04/13/2007 On April 13, 2007, a Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) was issued to Mr. Balentine as a result of a settlement agreement entered into as a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution requested by the individual. The settlement agreement acknowledges the NRC and the individual’s agreement to disagree that the individual deliberately violated 10 CFR 50.5, "Deliberate Misconduct," when, as Lead Foreman for Stone and Webster Engineering Company, he directed and allowed unauthorized open blasting to be performed inside the torus of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit 1, causing the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to be in violation of its procedures associated with radiation protection. The individual did acknowledge that, as Lead Foreman, his communications to employees in the area of safe work practices must be especially clear and unequivocal and that, contrary to this, his communications were poor and failed to convey clear instructions or expectations.

IAORDER 12/12/2002 On December 12, 2002, an immediately effective Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities (for five years) was issued to the individual based on his deliberate actions in acquiring and possessing byproduct material (8 millicuries of cesium-137 and 40 millicuries of americium-241in a moisture density gauge) without a license from the NRC or an Agreement State. As a technician formerly employed by NTH Consultants (an NRC licensee), the individual acquired and possessed the moisture density gauge without the licensee's knowledge.

IANOV 05/22/2007 On May 22, 2007, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level III violation involving the individual’s deliberate misconduct which caused his former employer, U.S. Engineering Laboratories, Inc., to be in violation of 10 CFR 20.2201. Specifically the individual failed to report a portable nuclear density gauge as lost or missing when the location of the gauge was unknown for approximately 5-months. The gauge was subsequently found in the public domain.
Jon Brumer
IA-07-027
IAORDER 01/22/2008 On On January 22, 2008, an Immediately Effective Order prohibiting an individual, a contract security Lieutenant with the Wackenhut Corporation, from involvement in all NRC-licensed activities for a period of five years from the date the Order was issued. The Order was issued based on activities that occurred on or about August of 2005. Specifically, Mr. Brumer deliberately removed and broke a firing pin from a contingency response weapon, rendering the weapon non-functional. As a result, Mr. Brumer caused FPL to be in violation of 10 CFR Part 73. Mr. Brumer’s actions in this regard were in violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(1), which states that an employee of a licensee or contractor, who knowingly provides to any licensee, applicant, contractor, or subcontractor, any components, equipment, materials, or other goods or services that relate to a licensee's activities in this part, may not engage in deliberate misconduct that causes or would have caused, if not detected, a licensee or applicant to be in violation of any rule, regulation, or order. Additionally, on or about February 19, 2006, Mr. Brumer provided a transcribed statement to an NRC Office of Investigations (OI) agent regarding his involvement in the breaking of a firing pin that was later determined to be incomplete and inaccurate. Mr. Brumer’s actions in this regard were in violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(2), which states, in part, that an employee of a licensee or contractor may not deliberately submit to the NRC, a licensee, or a licensee=s contractor, information that the person submitting the information knows to be incomplete or inaccurate in some respect material to the NRC.
