Ms. Traci Hollingshead
IA-21-061
ORDER 05/19/2022 On May 19, 2022, the NRC issued a confirmatory order (CO) to Ms. Hollingshead confirming commitments reached as a part of an alternate dispute resolution (ADR) mediation settlement agreement between Ms. Hollingshead and the NRC.  The ADR mediation and subsequent CO were based on the results of an investigation at Avera McKennan (licensee) in which the NRC identified an apparent violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 10 CFR 30.10(a)(1) “Deliberate Misconduct” associated with Ms. Hollingshead, the licensee radiation safety officer, for willfully failing to assure that the licensee determined doses of unsealed byproduct material for medical use as required by 10 CFR10 CFR 35.63(a). Ms. Hollingshead disagrees that a violation of 10 CFR 35.63(a) occurred and that deliberate misconduct was associated with the apparent violation. The parties agree to disagree on whether the violation occurred. Additionally, Ms. Hollingshead agreed to complete wide-ranging actions that are expected to improve the licensee program, as fully described in the CO. In consideration of the actions and commitments outlined in the CO, the NRC agrees not to issue a notice of violation for the apparent violation.
Mr. Travis Hodges
IA-24-001
ORDER 08/27/2024 On August 27, 2024, the NRC issued a notice of violation to Mr. Hodges for a Severity Level III violation. Mr. Hodges, a senior radiation protection technician for Southern Nuclear Operating Company’s Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (Hatch) engaged in deliberate misconduct, a violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.5, “Deliberate Misconduct,” when he deliberately submitted falsified radiation and contamination surveys to Hatch. Specifically, on multiple occasions, Mr. Hodges presented survey results as if he had obtained the data from actual physical surveys of plant areas, when in fact he did not physically enter the areas to conduct the surveys but instead copied the data from previously completed surveys.
Mr. David Huey

ORDER 12/12/2024 On December 12, 2024, the NRC issued an Order prohibiting involvement in NRC-Licensed activities for three years to Mr. David Huey, a manager for Titan Inc. (Titan), for deliberately directing a radiographer to perform radiography without a second qualified individual being present. The NRC determined that the manager’s actions violated Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 30.10(a)(1), which caused Titan to be in violation of 10 CFR 34.41(a).
