NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs Region IV 612 E. Lamar Blvd., Suite 400 Arlington, TX 76011-4125 Telephone: (817) 860-8128 No. IV-10-014 April 21, 2010

Victor Dricks (817) 860-8128 E-Mail: opa4@nrc.gov Lara Uselding (817) 276-6519 NRC I SSUES CONFI RM ATORY ORDER TO CAN USA, I NC. AFTER AGREEM ENT I S REACHED UNDER AL TERNATE DI SPUTE RESOL UTI ON CAN USA, Inc., (CAN USA) has agreed to pay a $7,000 fine and implement a series of corrective actions related to the safe use of radiography equipment on offshore facilities under an agreement reached with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The settlement with CAN USA was achieved under the NRC s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, which was initiated at the request of CAN USA. The objective was to reach a preliminary settlement agreement and address four apparent vi olations that were identified in an inspection report following a June 12, 2008, incident onboard a Chevron USA offshore platform involvi ng a two-person radiography crew. On Jan. 27, 2010, the NRC shared results of its special inspection and investigation with CAN USA.
In addition, the NRC found that willfulness may have been involved in that two radiography personnel failed to follow proper procedures when conducting radiographic operations to produce industrial radiographs of piping on the oil and gas platform. In addition to not following proper safety related operating procedures, a radiographer failed to supervi se and maintain direct supervi sion of a radiographer s assistant, and radiography personnel failed to control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material left in an uncontrolled area.
In response to the report, CAN USA informed the agency on February 18, 2010, that they were interested in the use of the ADR session to resolve the matter. ADR is a process in which a neutral mediator with no decision-maki ng authority assists the parties in reaching an agreement or resolvi ng any differences regarding a dispute.
An ADR mediation session took place on March 9, 2010, and led to an agreement which is detailed in the Confirmatory Order issued April 16, 2010 by the NRC. Under the agreement, CAN USA s actions will include the following:
- Develop and implement a procedure for additional oversight of radiography crews on offshore facilities
- Train employees on the use of radiography equipment and completing a checkl ist before being allowed to participate on offshore operations
- Develop and implement new or improved operating procedures and provi de training to new employees about these procedures
- Develop and implement a written agreement outlining the safe use of radiography equipment with the owner and operators of offshore facilities.
In recognition of these actions, the NRC has agreed to not pursue any further enforcement action in connection with NRC s investigation of this incident.
Copies of the enforcement actions will be posted on the NRC web site at:
