The apparent violations involve inadequacies in the companys radiation protection program and failure to perform a leak test of a radioactive source when it was removed from storage prior to use.

The apparent violations are described in an NRC inspection report that is publicly available on the NRCs web site or from the NRCs Public Document Room (ADAMS Accession Number ML082940325.)
