..c NOTlqE_QF VIOLATION Hilton Davis Company License No. (10 C."A 31.5)
Cincinnati, Ohio Docket No. 99990003 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 25,1996, with continuing NRC review through January 10,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance l
with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381, dated June 30,1995), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 31.5(c)(2) requires, in part, that any person who acquires, receives, possesses, uses or transfers byproduct materialin a device pursuant to a generallicense shall assure that the device is testn't for leakage of radioactive material at no longer than six month I
intervals.
Contrary to the above, the licensee's Perkin-Elmer Electron Capture Detector Cell containing a nominal activity of 15 millicuries (0.55 GBq) of Nickel-63 was not tested for leakage between June 1993 and November 1996, an interval greater than the required six month interval specified in 10 CFR 31.5(c)(2).
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Hilton Davis Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region 111, 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, Illinois 60532-4351 within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. if an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information j
that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your i
request for withholding the information from the public.
