As a result of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on
February -11 - March 10,1985, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
-The violation involved a failure to meet the strong, tight package requirement of

In accordance with the " General
Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2,
Appendix C (1985), the particular violation is set forth below:
10 CFR 71.5(a) requires that a licensee who transports any licensed material
outside the confines of his plant or other place of use or who delivers
licensed material to a carrier for transport shall comply with the applicable
requirements of regulations appropriate to the mode of transport of the
Department of Transportation (00T) in 49 CFR Parts 170 through 189.
49 CFR 173.425(b) requires that low specific activity radioactive materials
consigned for exclusive use be packaged in a DOT Specification 7A Type A
package or in a strong, tight package so that there will be no leakage
of radioactive material under conditions normally incident to transportation.
49 CFR 173.475(c) requires the shipper to ensure prior to shipment that each
closure device of the packaging be properly installed, secured, and free of
defects.
49 CFR 173.475(f) requires the shipper to ensure prior to shipment each closure,
valve, or other opening of the containment system through which the radioactive
content might escape be properly closed and sealed.
Contrary to the above, on March 1,1985, the licensee failed to package
a shipment of low specific activity radioactive material in a 00T
Specification 7A Type A package or a strong, tight package in that the
top of the package came off during transport.
