To:
All AEC Licensees CRIu tIA FOR DETERMINI!;G ENFCRCEMENT ACTION AND CATEGORIES OF NONCOMPLIN!CE WITH AEC REGULATORY ?lQUIRDiENTS - MODIFICATIONS I
On Nov-=ber 1, 1972, the Commission issued criteria for enforcement j
actions to be taken for noncompliance with its rules and with license conditions in accordance with Sections 161, 186, and 234 of the Atomic d
Energy Act and Subpart 3 of Part 2, 10 CFR. On June 5, 1973, the Commission notified licensees that categories of violation with AEC regulatory requirements had been' established because the Co= mission and the nuclear industry recognized that the significance of violations varies in the potential for affecting the health and safety of the public, the com=on defense and security, and the environment.
Based on a review of the experience with the criteria for determining enforcement action and the categories of noncompliance, modifications of the use of these criteria and these categories are being =ade.
Comments explaining the modifications are enclosed as Attachments A and B.
The changes in the' criteria and categories are primarily administrative
~
in nature and should result in a higher level of understanding of the enforce =ent program - and the results of the program - on the part of the public and the industry. The basic purpose of the enforcecent program - enhance =ent of-the health and safety of the public, the coc=on defense and security, and the environment - remains the same.
The long standing practice of requiring corrective action for each identified item of noncompliance (Violations) is not changed.
The enforcement program continues to emphasize corrective action where necessary to assure that regulated activities meet applicable requirements and are conducted with due regard for public health and safety, coc=on defense and security and protection of the environ =ent.
The =odifications clarify the enforcement criteria and categories of noncompliance in the areas of safeguards and environcental matters and provide core explicit def.initions to aid in a better understanding of the enforce =ent program.
These definitions make clear the applicability of the program in catters of quality assurance, canagecent control, and e
