License Condition 2.C and 2.D of Operating Licenses No. DPR-24 and DPR-27 authorizes the licensee, in part, to receive, possess and use byproduct source and special nuclear material pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Parts 30,40, and 70 as sealed neutron sources for reactor startup, sealed sources for reactor instrumentation and radiation monitoring equipment calibration, and as fission detectors; and, without restriction to chemical or physical form, for sample analysis or instrument calibration or associated with radioactive apparatus or components.

Specifically, a contract laundry / decontamination technician deliberately taped a radioactive particle to the underside of a table in the radiological laundry room, a use of byproduct matorial not authorized by License Conditions 2.C, 2.D, or 2.E.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
