Mr. Joseph Berkich (IA-21-062)

On March 2, 2022, the NRC issued an Order prohibiting Mr. Joseph Berkich from involvement in NRC-licensed activities. Mr. Berkich, former owner of Steel City Gamma, LLC (SCG), deliberately caused SCG to be in violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 150.20 and 10 CFR 30.3, when he conducted licensed activities using radiography in NRC jurisdiction without filing for reciprocity and without a specific NRC license. Specifically, Mr. Berkick will be prohibited from conducting, supervising, directing, or in any other way engaging in NRC-licensed activities for a period of five years and immediately cease all current involvement in NRC-licensed activities. After the five-year prohibition has expired, Mr. Berkich will be required to notify the NRC, within 20 days following acceptance of his first employment offer involving NRC-licensed activities.
