SUBJECT: ORANO-TRANSPORT LOGISTICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. - NRC INSPECTION
REPORT NO. 710947/2022-201 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Andrew Langston:
This letter refers to the inspection conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) on February 22 to 24, 2022, at the Container Products Corporation (CPC) facility in
Wilmington, NC. The inspection team continued the inspection activities with an in-office review
and held an exit meeting on May 20, 2022, with you and other members of your staff. The CPC
is under contract with Orano-Transport Logistics International, Inc. (TLI) to fabricate important-
to-safety (ITS) components of the Versa-Pac transportation packaging under Certificate of
Compliance (CoC) 71-9342.
The purpose of the inspection was to verify and assess the adequacy of TLIs compliance with
the NRC requirements for the design, modification, fabrication, assembly, testing, and
procurement of Versa-Pac components. TLI is the holder of the CoC and designer of the Versa-
Pac transportation packaging.
The inspection scope included observations of in field fabrication activities, reviews of records,
and interviews with personnel to determine whether a transportation packaging fabricated by an
outside fabricator is constructed in accordance with the commitments and requirements
specified in the safety analysis report (SAR), the NRCs corresponding safety evaluation report
(SER), Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 71, Packaging and
Transportation of Radioactive Material, and the CoC; and to determine whether the outside
fabricators activities are conducted in accordance with NRC-approved Quality Assurance
Program (QAP) requirements. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV
violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation was evaluated in accordance with the
NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is included on the NRC's Website at
(http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html). The violation is cited in
the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it are described in
detail in the subject inspection report. The violation is being cited in the Notice because the
violation was repetitive as a result of inadequate corrective action and was identified by the
NRC.
