UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 July 2, 2021 EA-20-113 Mr. Avinash Rachmale, P.E.
Chief Executive Officer LGC Global Corporation 7310 Woodward Avenue Detroit, MI 48202
SUBJECT:
LGC GLOBAL CORPORATION - PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF $22,500 CIVIL PENALTY; NRC INSPECTION REPORT (NON-LICENSEE/2019-001(DNMS))
Dear Mr. Rachmale:
This letter refers to Mr. Shashidhar Shastris June 1, 2021, email in response to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) May 6, 2021, letter1. In that letter the NRC provided LGC Global a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of
$22,500 unless the two portable moisture density gauges, each containing 5.5 millicuries of radium-226, and the two x-ray analyzers, one containing a 4.5-millicurie americium-241 sealed source and one containing a 40-millicurie cadmium-109 sealed source, were transferred to authorized recipients by June 6, 2021. The NRCs December 30, 2020 (ML20364A250), and May 6, 2021, letters incorrectly stated that LGC Global possessed two x-ray analyzers. Based on additional information provided by LGC Global including a picture of the x-ray analyzer, the NRC concluded that LGC Global only possessed one analyzer containing both the americium-241 and the cadmium-109 sealed sources.
Mr. Shastris email included, as attachments, documents indicating that the two portable gauges and the material analyzer were properly transferred to authorized recipients. The NRC reviewed Mr. Shastris email with attachments and concluded that LGC Global provided the information requested in the Notice of Violation, and the portable gauges and x-ray analyzer were transferred to authorized recipients prior to June 6, 2021. Based on this information, the NRC will not impose a civil penalty.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room and from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. If you decide to provide a response, to the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy or proprietary information so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction. The NRC also includes significant enforcement actions on its Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/current.html 1 The letter can be found in NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at accession number ML21124A137. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

/RA/
