On August 20, 2008, an Immediately Effective Order was issued to
the former radiation safety officer for Alaska Industrial X-Ray,
Inc, prohibiting him from Involvement in NRC-licensed activities
for a period of three years from the date the Order was issued. The
Order was issued based on his engagement in deliberate misconduct
on numerous occasions over several years, and providing the NRC with
information that he knew was inaccurate or incomplete. Specifically,
as RSO he was responsible for ensuring that radiation safety activities
were being performed in accordance with approved procedures and regulatory
requirements in the daily operation of the licensee’s program.
In this case, not only did the individual deliberately violate 10
CFR 34.41(a), he was also aware that other AIX radiographers were
deliberately violating this requirement and took no actions to stop
it. When questioned by the NRC, he knowingly provided incomplete
and inaccurate information about the violations. |
