}
Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars will be issued on or about July 13, 1988 to Texas A&M University.
This action 2
is based on the failure to provide appropriate personnel dosimetry, proper
=
placement of personnel dosimetry, failure to establish proper control for high h
radiation areas, and failure to provide radiological instructions to personnel g
working in a restricted area. These violations are of concern as they indicated the failure to exercise adequate management oversight and control of the radiation protection program at the Nuclear Science Center. The escalation and mitigation
{
factors set forth in the policy were considered and the civil penalty increased i
100 percent based on prior notice, multiple examples, and duration of the violations over a four month period.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the 3
enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
g i
Mailing of Notice July 13, 1988 Telephone otification of Licensee July 13, 1988 3
The State of Texas will be notified.
]
The licensee has thirty days from the date of the Notica in which to respond.
Following NRC evaluation of the response, the civil pena'ty may be remitted, E
mitigated, or imposed by Order.
