On October 23, 2007, a Notice of Violation (NOV) and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,250 was issued for a Severity Level III violation of 10 CFR 30.34(i) involving the licensee's failure, on two instances, 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. In the second instance, this resulted in the loss of the gauge into the public domain. Specifically, in the first instance, an authorized portable gauge user left the portable gauge unattended and unsecured in the bed of a company truck as he returned to the office to retrieve paperwork. In the second instance, the licensee failed to use two independent physical controls to secure a portable gauge after it fell out of a company vehicle onto a public highway and until it was retrieved and returned by a member of the public a few minutes later. |

03/31/2023 |
On March 31, 2023, the NRC issued a notice of violation (Notice) to Radiation Safety Services (licensee) for one Severity Level (SL) III violation. This violation is related to an NRC investigation conducted to determine whether employees of Radiation Safety Services, LLC, while working under reciprocity in NRC jurisdiction, willfully transferred byproduct material to an NRC licensee without verifying that it was authorized to receive and possess the material. The violation involved the licensee’s transfer of byproduct material to a company that was not specifically licensed by the NRC to receive the material, contrary to requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 150.20(b)(3). The NRC considers this to be a significant violation because the transfer of licensed radioactive material to an unauthorized entity provides greater opportunities for misuse or mishandling of the radioactive material. Therefore, this violation has been categorized in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy at Severity Level III. |

On December 15, 2016, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Romeo RIM for a Severity Level III Problem involving four violations. The first violation involved the failure to transfer or dispose of a device containing byproduct material by transfer to another general licensee as authorized in 10 CFR 31.5(c)(9), or to a person authorized to receive the device by a specific license as required by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(8)(i). Specifically, on May 24, 2016, the licensee transferred a generally licensed fixed gauge to two companies, and neither company was authorized to receive the gauge. The second violation involved the failure to assure that the generally licensed device is tested for leakage of radioactive material and proper operation of the on-off mechanism at no longer than six month intervals or at such other intervals as are specified in the label as required by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(2). Specifically, between June 1998, and July 8, 2016, the licensee failed to test the gauge for leakage and proper operation of the on-off mechanism, which is longer than the 36 month frequency specified in the label. The third violation involved the failure to appoint an individual responsible for having knowledge of the appropriate regulations and requirements and the authority for taking required actions to comply with appropriate regulations and requirements as required by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(12). Specifically, the last known responsible individual retired in 1991, and the licensee did not appoint another such individual until June 23, 2016. The effective date of this requirement was February 16, 2001. The fourth violation involved the failure to register the gauge as required by 10 CFR 31.5(c)(13)(i). |
