Contrary to the above, Verso Luke, LLC did not periodically, at least annually, review the radiation protection program content and implementation.
Specifically, Verso Luke, LLC did not conduct annual reviews of the radiation protection program content and implementation for the years 2015 and 2016. This violation occurred due to lack of oversight by an individual assigned responsibility for overseeing the fixed gauge program. Corrective actions included hiring a consultant who performed a radiation protection program review in 2017, and adding the requirement to perform an annual review of the radiation program to the plant's work scheduling program. This violation was self-identified, corrected, and was not willful. Accordingly, this violation is classified as a SL IV Non-cited Violation (Section 6.7). Non-Cited Violation No. 2 Condition 15, NRC License 19-00373-01, requires Verso Luke, LLC to conduct a physical inventory every six-months for all sealed sources and devices. Contrary to the above, Vero Luke, LLC did not conduct physical inventories of all sealed sources and fixed gauges every six-months.
Specifically, Verso Luke, LLC was required to perform a physical inventory on or before March of 2017, and did not conduct another fixed gauge inventory until February 2018, a period of approximately 11 months. This violation occurred due to lack of oversight by an individual assigned responsibility for overseeing the fixed gauge program. Corrective actions included conducting a physical inventory of fixed gauges and including the requirement for 6-month fixed gauge inventories into the plant's work scheduling program. This violation was self-identified, corrected, and was not willful. Accordingly, this violation is classified as a SL IV Non-cited Violation (Section 6. 7). NRC FORM 591M PART 2 (07-2012)
