,c As you are aware from the " Criteria for Decernining Enforcement Action,"
which was provided to you by our letter of Nove=ber 1,1972, the enforce-ment actions available to us in the exercise of our regulatory responsibilities include administrative actions in the form of written notices of violations, civil monetary penalties, and orders pertaining to the modification, suspension or revocation of an operating license.
After careful evaluation of the license violations identified in the enclosure, and with consideratio'n given to the relatively short period of time you have possessed an AEC facility operating license, this l
Notice of Violation is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the AEC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of r
o i
Federal Regulatifons.
Section 2.201 requires you.to sdbmit to this office
- !l I
within 20 days of your receipt of this notice, a written state =ent of explanation in reply including:
(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you, and the results achieved; (2') corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance vill be
'1 achieved.
i As discussed during the meeting in your office on July 19, 1973, we believe that collectively the inspection findings are indicative of a u
failure to adequately implement your operational quality assurance program.
l Therefore, in addition to your response.to the specific violations identified I
in the enclosure, please provide us with your comnents regarding those actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of your quality assurance program and management control systems. The Co= mission is prepared to i
i take the enforcement action it deems necessary to see that the required l
actions are taken pronptly.
