- 16. Scope and Observations:
This was an unannounced non-routine inspection of a beverage bottling company in Indianapolis, Indiana, who possessed generally-licensed devices that required registration in accordance with 10 CFR 31.5(c)(13). The purpose of this non-routine inspection was to verify the status of the generally-licensed devices as the NRC had not been able to contact the licensee regarding its registration for 2020 and 2021. At the time of the inspection, the licensee possessed and used two Industrial Dynamics (Filtec) FT-50-C gauges containing 100 mCi americium-241 sealed sources to detect the fill level of beverage cans during the canning process. According to the gauge label and registration, these devices are required to be tested for leakage at a periodicity not to exceed 3 years.
The inspector discussed the status of the licensee's registration with the Plant Director and the Environmental Health and Safety Manager. The licensee stated that the responsible individual on file with the NRC was no longer at the location, and they did not recall receiving the letters from the NRC requesting registration for 2020 and 2021. The licensee committed to submitting the registration information with updated contact information and paying any outstanding registration fees. While the inspector was on-site, the inspector also toured the area of the licensee's facility where the gauges were installed to verify the licensee still possessed the gauges. On this tour, the inspector performed independent surveys and determined that dose rates around the gauges were indistinguishable from background. The inspector also reviewed the licensee's most recent gauge service records to verify the gauges were serviced and leak tested by a licensed entity.
No violations of NRC requirement were cited as a result of this inspection.
