| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 70.51(b)(1), as issued on January 1, 1986, requires each licensee to keep records showing receipt, inventory (including location), disposal, acquisition, and transfer of all special nuclear material in his possession regardless of its origin or method of acquisition. Contrary to this requirement, in 1986, a source containing 1 micro-curie of special nuclear material was ordered, received, used, and disposed as part of a project performed by a member of the licensees health physics staff. However, the special nuclear material coordinator was not aware of the purchase, and therefore, the source was not entered in to the appropriate tracking logs. The licensee disposed of the empty vial that was used to deliver the special nuclear material in 1990. This incident was identified in the licensees corrective action program as IR 864861 and IR 886232. This was determined to be a Severity IV violation because it involved an isolated failure to secure, or maintain surveillance over licensed material in a quantity greater than 10 times but not greater than 1000 times the quantity specified in Appendix C to Part 20. Additionally, the material was labeled as radioactive, located in an area posted as containing radioactive materials; and the failure occurred despite a functional program to detect and deter security violations that included training, staff awareness, detection, and corrective action. |
