This is a Severity Level IV Violation (NRC Enforcement Policy 6.3.d)

The licensee has committed to completing the annual review of the radiation protection program content and

implementation by June 14, 2018, and placing this annual review in his outlook calendar as a reminder to prevent this

from re-occuring.
