On January 29, 2003, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition
of Civil Penalty in the amount of $6,000 was issued for a Severity
Level III violation involving a deliberate failure to conduct radiographic
operations by a certified individual at the licensee's permanent radiographic
facility, and at temporary job sites. Since the licensee does not
intend to use the material in the future, the license was amended
for storage incident to disposal. To encourage prompt disposal of
the sources, NRC has given the licensee 60 days to dispose the material,
in which case, the NRC will forgo the proposed civil penalty. |

to Mattingly Testing Services, Inc. (Mattingly Testing) in response
to the information obtained during November 7, 2007, inspection and
investigation of Mattingly Testing’s licensed activities. While

evaluate and determine the appropriateness of Mattingly Testing’s
licensed material program at temporary job sites. The DFI also required
Mattingly Testing to provide information in order for the NRC to
evaluate the depth and completeness of Mattingly Testing’s
work environment and its determination that it maintains an environment
where employees can raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation.
Specifically, the DFI required Mattingly Testing to provide additional
details relative to the establishment, implementation and maintenance
of a program designed to provide and support such a work environment.
Mattingly Testing is required to submit the information in writing
within 20 days of the date of this DFI. After reviewing Mattingly
Testing’s response to the DFI, the NRC will determine whether
further action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements. |

On May 28, 2008, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition
of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,250 was issued for a Severity
Level III problem. The violations involved the failure to control
and maintain constant surveillance of material that is in an unrestricted
area and not in storage and failure to block and brace packages containing
radioactive material to prevent change in position during transport.
Specifically, a portable gauge fell from the back of a pickup truck,
after it was placed in the back of the truck without using a transport
case or attaching the gauge in any way to the truck. After falling,
the gauge was subsequently damaged, and was lost for approximately
an hour. |

On July 9, 2008, a Notice of Violation was issued to McKinney and
Company. This action is based on a Severity Level III violation
of 10 CFR 30.34(i) involving the licensee's failure to maintain
a minimum of two independent physical controls that formed tangible
barriers to secure a portable gauge from unauthorized removal during
a period when the portable gauge was not under the control and
constant surveillance of the licensee. Specifically, five portable
gauges were found unattended inside an unlocked building with only
one physical control (a locked storage area door) that formed a
tangible barrier to secure the portable gauges. |

09/13/2007 |
On September 13, 2007, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition
of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,250 was issued for a Severity
Level III problem composed of two Severity Level III violations.
The first violation involved the failure of MC Squared, Inc., an
Agreement State licensee (licensee), to file NRC Form 241 at least
three days prior to engaging in licensed activities within NRC jurisdiction.
Specifically, the licensee stored or used a portable gauge containing
byproduct material (americium-241 and cesium-137) at two Indian Reservations
which are areas of exclusive NRC jurisdiction regarding the use of
NRC-licensed materials. The licensee did not file NRC Form 241 prior
to using the material at these sites. The second violation involved
the licensee’s failure to use a minimum of two independent
physical controls to secure a portable gauge from unauthorized removal
when the gauge was not under the control and constant surveillance
of the licensee. This failure may have contributed to the theft of
the gauge which was reported. Specifically, the licensee stored the
gauge in an unlocked trailer, located in an unrestricted area when
an authorized user was not present. Although the gauge was in a locked
container, the gauge had no physical control to form tangible barriers
to secure the gauge from unauthorized removal, because the gauge
container was not secured to the trailer, nor was access to the trailer
controlled. |

11/30/2007 |
On November 30, 2007, an Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty
was issued to MC Squared, Inc. Following the NRC’s September
13, 2007, Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of a Civil
Penalty in the amount of $3,250, the licensee requested negating
or significantly reducing the civil penalty. The Notice of Violation
and proposed civil penalty was issued to the licensee for its failure
to maintain a minimum of two independent physical controls that formed
tangible barriers to secure a portable gauge from unauthorized removal
during a period when the portable gauge was not under the control
and constant surveillance of the licensee. This failure may have
contributed to the theft of the gauge. In addition, the license failed
to file NRC Form 241 at least three days prior to engaging in licensed
activities in areas of exclusive NRC jurisdiction.
MC Squared, Inc., did not present an adequate basis for the NRC to
retract the violation or mitigate the civil penalty, and in addition,
did not provide any evidence that payment of the civil penalty would
create a financial hardship. Accordingly, NRC concluded that the
violation remains valid and issued an order imposing Civil Monetary
Penalty in the amount of $3,250. |

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

material, facilities, and records available for inspection as required
by 10 CFR 30.52. As of April 2, 2001, the licensee did not respond
to the Notice, nor did it comply with the requirements that it maintain
licensed material in safe storage, immediately notify the NRC of its
current business location and status of licensed material, test the
sealed source for leak tightness, and transfer the licensed material
to an authorized recipient. The licensee has been unresponsive to
the NRC's repeated attempts to discuss licensed activities associated
with the licensee. After considering the licensee's unresponsiveness,
the NRC concluded that the violation occurred as stated and that the
penalty proposed for the violation should be imposed. |
