Docket:
15000035/88-01
Tulsa, Oklahoma
License: NE 99-41-01
During an NRC inspection conducted on June 28, 1988, a violation of NRC
requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C
(1988), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 30.3 states that except for persons exempt as provided in this part and
Part 150 of this chapter, no person shall manufacture, produce, transfer,
receive, acquire, own, possess, or use byproduct material except as authorized
in a specific or general license issued pursuant to the regulations.
10 CFR 150.20(a) states that any person holding a specific license from an
agreement state where the licensee maintains an office for directing the
licensed activity, and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained,
is granted a general license to conduct the same activity in nonagreement
states.
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector found, on June 28, 1988, by interviewing
the licensee, that the licensee did not maintain an office in the agreement
state where the licensee held a specific license; that the licensee had
conducted radiographic activities during 1988 in Oklahoma, a nonagreement
state; and, therefore, that the licensee was not granted a general license
under 10 CFR 150.20(a).
Consequently, the licensee's activities in Oklahoma
were unauthorized.
l
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(Supplement V.'.)
No response to this Notice of Violation is required.
