SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION 030-35371/2018-001 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Pettijohn:
This letter refers to the unannounced inspection conducted on May 15, 2018, at your facility in
Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and on June 27, 2018, at your office in Anchorage, Alaska. The
inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to public
health and safety, to confirm compliance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions
(NRCs) rules, regulations, and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of a selected examination of procedures and representative records,
observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. The preliminary inspection findings
were discussed with you at the conclusion of the onsite portion of the inspection on June 27,
2018. A final telephonic exit briefing was conducted with you on July 9, 2018.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a Severity Level IV
violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation was evaluated in accordance with the
NRC Enforcement Policy, which can be found at the NRCs Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html. The violation involved
NRC security requirements, and is cited and described in the enclosed non-public Notice of
Violation (Notice). This violation is being cited because it was identified by the NRC during the
inspection.
The NRC has concluded that information regarding: (1) the reason for the violation; (2) the
corrective actions that have been taken and the results achieved; and (3) the date when full
compliance was achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket in your email to the
NRC inspector on May 24, 2018, which is summarized in the enclosed Notice. Therefore, you
are not required to respond to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately
