During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on February 10, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved possession and use of byproduct material in an area under Federal jurisdiction without filing a Form NRC-241 or copies of a license to the Administrator of Region II during 1986, the use of an improper shipping container during transport, and not securing the shipping container to prevent shifting during transport. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986),
the violations are listed below:
A. 10 CFR 150.20(b)(1) requires any Agreement State licensee engaging in activities under Federal jurisdiction to file, at least three days before engaging in such activity, four copies of Form NRC-241 (revised), " Report -

Contrary to the above, between August 1986 and December 1986, the licensee possessed and used licensed material under an NRC general license in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, a location under Federal jurisdiction, without having submitted copies of Form NRC-241 or copies of its South Carolina license to the Administrator of NRC Region II.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI).
