01/10/2007 |
On January 10, 2007, a Notice of Violation was issued
for a Severity Level III violation involving the failure, on two
separate occasions, to provide a minimum of two independent physical
controls that form tangible barriers to secure portable gauges from
unauthorized removal when not under the control and constant surveillance
of the licensee. Specifically, on September 21, 2006, a portable
nuclear gauge was not secured within an unlocked company vehicle;
and, a second gauge was not secured within a locked storage shed. |

07/30/2002 |
On July 30, 2002, a Notice of Violation and Proposed
Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $4,800 was issued for
a Severity Level II violation involving an overexposure to a pharmacist
in excess of NRC requirements. Although the civil penalty would have
been fully mitigated based on the normal civil penalty assessment
process, the NRC exercised enforcement discretion in accordance with
Section VII.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy and proposed a base civil
penalty because the violation was assessed at Severity Level II and
because it resulted in an overexposure. |
Eastern Shoshone & Northern Arapaho Tribes, WY EA-06-040 |
NOV
(SL III) |
07/14/2006 |
On July 14, 2006, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity
Level III problem involving failure to conduct operations so that
the total effective dose equivalent to individual members of the
public would not exceed 0.1 rem in a year. Specifically a member
of the public, working in close proximity to the portable gauge storage
area, received a calculated dose in excess of 0.1 rem during calendar
years 2000 and 2001. In addition, from March 2000 through May 2006,
the licensee failed to make or cause to be made surveys of radiation
levels in unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance
with the dose limits for individual members of the public as required.
The NRC is exercising enforcement discretion and is refraining from
issuing a civil penalty because the licensee has transferred all
NRC-licensed material to an authorized recipient, and requested termination
of its NRC license. |

On May 3, 2006, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of
Civil Penalty in the amount of $16,250 was issued for a Severity
Level III problem composed of six violations of NRC requirements
involving the licensee’s failure to conduct operations such
that the dose in an unrestriced area from external sources, exceeded
regulatory limits. The most significant of these violations involved
the radiation exposure of five employees and contractors, who were
not radiation workers (and therefore considered members of the public),
who received radiation doses in excess of the regulatory limit of
100 millirem in a year, i.e., they received estimated doses ranging
from 103 millirem to 197 millirem. |
