In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, the violation is listed below:
Appendix B to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) § 50 Quality Assurance Criteria For Nuclear Power Plants Criteria IX Control of Special Processes requires in part that procedures including nondestructive testing are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures 10 CFR § 50.5(a), Deliberate Misconduct provides in relevant part that any contractor (including a supplier or a consultant), subcontractor, or employee of a contractor or subcontractor of a licensee that knowingly provides to any licensee, contractor, or subcontractor, any goods or services related to a licensees activities in this part may not:

Contrary to the above, on/or about October 12, 2012, the Quality Assurance Manager for System One Solutions, LLC, engaged in the forging of a training document for a nondestructive examiner, which is a violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(1), and resulted in the submission of an individual for employment at an NRC licensee who did not meet the requirements for employment in the position assigned, which is a violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(2) and could have caused the licensee to be in violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criteria IX.
The willfulness of these actions has caused this violation to be evaluated as a Severity Level IV violation in accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 4.2.
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full compliance was achieved is already adequately addressed in Inspection Report No.
