VIRGINIA SUBMITS 

AGREEMENT STATE 

APPLICATION

The Commonwealth of Virginia 

last week submitted its Agreement 

State application to the NRC. 

The application was delivered to 

the Office of Federal and State 

Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs. NRC staff 

members from Headquarters and 

Region I will review the application 

and prepare an analysis for 

Commission review and public 

comment. 

Section 274 of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended, allows 

States to assume NRC regulatory 

authority. Under the Act, NRC can 

relinquish to a State portions of 

its regulatory authority to license 

and regulate byproduct materials 

(radioisotopes), source materials 

(uranium and thorium), and certain 

quantities of special nuclear 

materials. The mechanism for the 

transfer is an Agreement signed by 

the Governor of the State and the 

Chairman of the Commission, in 

accordance with Section 274b of 

the Act.

Once a State takes on this 

authority and becomes an 

“Agreement State,” NRC continues 

to provide assistance. This 

includes conducting training 

courses and workshops; 

evaluating technical licensing 

and inspection issues; evaluating 

State rule changes; participating 

in activities conducted by the 

Conference of Radiation Control 

Program Directors, Inc., and 

the Organization of Agreement 

States; and allowing for early 

and substantive involvement of 

the States in NRC rulemaking 

and other regulatory efforts. 

The NRC also coordinates with 

Agreement States in reporting of 

event information and allegations 

involving Agreement States.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky 

became the first Agreement 

State in March 26, 1962. Close 

to 40 States now have either 

become Agreement States or have 

indicated an intention to do so.

DIVISION OF WASTE 

MANAGEMENT AND 

ENVIRONMENTAL 

PROTECTION HAS 

DEVELOPED SEVERAL 

KNOWLEDGE 

MANAGEMENT TOOLS

Shamica Walker, Allen Gross, 

Cynthia Barr and Christepher 

McKenney of the performance 

assessment branch in the Division 

of Waste Management and 

Environmental Protection have 

developed several knowledge 

management tools that will be 

useful to FSME staff. These tools 

include (i) a technical library, (ii) 

development of a performance 

assessment section within 

NRC’s knowledge center, and 

(iii) further development of the 

decommissioning section within 

NRC’s operational experience 

(OpE) web site. A summary of 

these tools and their use for FSME 

staff is provided below.

The technical library, located 

in T8E12, provides staff with 

state-of-the-art tools and 

information needed to perform 

complex decommissioning and 

low-level radioactive waste 

disposal technical reviews 

more efficiently and effectively. 

Resources available for the staff 

in the library include information 

collected from internal and 

external training and workshops 

on a variety of topics related 

to performance assessment, a 

historical record of documents 

related to decommissioning 

and low-level radioactive waste 

disposal technical reviews, 

supporting decommissioning 

and low-level waste rulemaking 

documents (e.g., 10 CFR Part 61 

regulatory documents), pertinent 

journal articles and other 

research documents of interest 
2

to performance assessment staff, 

and high performance computer 

and software (e.g., sophisticated 

groundwater modeling and 

performance assessment codes). 

A catalog of information available 

in the library can be accessed 

through an internal network 

folder by interested staff. The 

performance assessment branch 

will be holding an open house for 

the library on June 24, 2008 from 

10:00 am to 3:00 pm so that FSME 

staff can explore the resources in 

the library. Contact Cynthia Barr 

for more information.

The performance assessment staff 

has also provided substantial input 

to the NRC’s knowledge center 

at http://nrcknowledgecenter.

nrc.gov or internally at http://

papaya.nrc.gov/NRCKC/index.

cfm. The performance assessment 

information is under the “waste” 

folder under “non high level 

waste performance assessment”. 

The purpose of the knowledge 

center website is to share “current” 

topics of interest to those with 

general interest in performance 

assessment and waste disposal 

topics. Under the waste folder, a 

performance assessment folder 

has been added with subfolders 

for the following topics: (1) 

research, (2) technical reviewer 

desk guides, (3) technical reviewer 

qualification cliff notes, and (4) 

training. Information on recent 

research efforts, presentations, and 

videos as well as external training 

opportunities is available on the 

site. The site also allows on-line 

discussions of documents on the 

site. To request access to the site, 

go to the internet page above and 

select “request an account”. Enter 

your NRC lan ID as your user name 

and click submit. A temporary 

password will be sent to you via 

email. 

Lastly, links to decommissioning 

guidance documents and 

information on the process for 

submitting a Technical Assistance 

will soon be provided on the NRC’s 

Operational Experience web site 

at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/

FSME/OpE/. This information 

will provide FSME and other 

organizations a centralized portal 

at which to quickly find pertinent 

information on decommissioning 

and dose assessment that may 

be located at a wide variety of 

locations. In addition, the website 

has forum capabilities to allow 

for conversations to occur on 

any FSME-related topic to allow 

the sharing of experiences and 

information.

WORKSHOP ON THE 

CURRENT AND FUTURE 

USE OF CESIUM CHLORIDE 

SOURCES

The NRC published a notice on July 

31, 2008, in the Federal Register 

on the upcoming Workshop on 

the Security and Continued Use 

of Cesium-137 Chloride (CsCl) 

Sources. The Notice (1) solicits 

comments from stakeholders 

and (2) requests participation 

in the Workshop scheduled for 

September 29-30, 2008, at the 

Bethesda North Marriott Hotel 

(near the NRC). The Notice also 

contains an Issues Paper which 

delineates the topics of discussion 

grouped into five major areas: 

alternative CsCl sources, alternative 

technologies, phase-out of CsCl, 

additional enhanced security, and 

potential future requirements.

The NRC encourages all interested 

parties to participate in the 

Workshop either in person or by 

writing to the NRC. We are also 

asking for interest to serve as panel 

member to lead the round-table 

discussions.

The full text of the Notice is

GENERIC 

COMMUNICATIONS ISSUED

(March 31, 2008 – June 30, 2008)

The following are summaries 

of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) generic 

communications issued by 

the Office of Federal and State 

Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs. If one of 

these documents appears relevant 

continued on page 4

The passage of time inevitably 

brings about change. NRC and 

FSME have not been exempt 

from such changes. In the past 

several months, we have added 

a new Commissioner, Kristine 

L. Svinicki, and a new Executive 

Director for Operations, R. 

William Borchardt. 

In FSME, we have also 

experienced a few managerial changes in June and July. Joseph J. Holonich, Jr., the former Director of our 

Program Planning, Budgeting, and Program Analysis Staff has moved to a new position in the Office of 

Information Services, as their Director of the Information and Records Services Division. We will miss Joe who 

set up new administrative Office procedures when we came into being in 2006, led our budget formulation 

activities and our Office recruitment efforts, and made so many contributions to advance our information 

technology systems. He will be missed. 

In June, we were fortunate to have Jennifer M. Golder join the FSME team in Joe’s former position. Ms. Golder 

began her federal service in the U.S. Customs Service Office of Investigations in 1992, and joined NRC in 1999 as 

a Program Analyst in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. In 2001, she worked in what is now NRC’s Office 

of Information Services and was promoted to a Deputy Director position in OIS in 2006. Her budget and IT 

experience will be valuable assets in her new position in FSME.

In July, Scott C. Flanders, the former Deputy Director of FSME’s Environmental Protection and Performance 

Assessment Directorate, in the Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection (DWMEP) was 

promoted to Director, of the Division of Site and Environmental Reviews in NRC’s Office of New Reactors. While 

in FSME, Scott made valuable contributions to the environmental review program, the NRC low-level waste 

management program, and helped resolve numerous policy and technical issues in the DWMEP. I know Scott 

will do a great job in NRO, but we will miss him in FSME.

To backfill his FSME position, we have asked Patrice M. Bubar to move from the Division of Intergovernmental 

Liaison and Rulemaking (DILR) to DWMEP. Patty is uniquely qualified for her new position since she has a 

degree in Environmental Engineering, extensive managerial experience at DOE, and staff experience at the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency in the Water, Superfund, and Radiation Programs. She will be a great addition 

to the DWMEP management team. By the time this Newsletter is published, we hope to have made a selection 

to backfill her position in DILR.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Event #1: Administration of 

Dosage to Wrong Patient

Date and Place: April 28, 2008, 

Louisville, Kentucky

Nature and Probable Causes: The 

licensee reported that a patient 

that was prescribed a dosimetric 

Bexxar Iodine-131 (I-131) dosage 

of 0.19 gigabecquerel (GBq) 5 

millicuries (mCi) for a lymphatic 

cancer uptake study received an 

I-131 dosage of 1.65 GBq (44.5 

mCi). The received dose was 

actually intended for another 

patient. The doctor has notified 

the patient. The patient had taken 

a thyroid blocking agent prior to 

continued from page 2
5

the medical event. The patient 

was subsequently administered a 

therapeutic dose of I-131, which 

was adjusted to account for the 

error. 

Event #2: Treatment to 

Wrong Site

Date and Place: May 1, 2008, 

Midlothian, Virginia

Nature and Probable Causes: 

The licensee reported that a 

patient received doses differing 

from prescribed during a breast 

cancer treatment using high dose 

rate (HDR) mammosite balloon 

brachytherapy on May 1, 2008. 

The patient was prescribed 10 

fractions using an Irridium-192 

(Ir-192) source with an activity of 

165.4 GBq (4.47 Curies). During 

administration of the first fraction, 

the physicist received an alarm 

from the HDR computer. The 

alarm was overridden based on 

the judgment of the physicist and 

the treatment was completed. 

The other nine treatments 

were completed as intended. 

Subsequent review of the first 

treatment and cause of the 

alarm indicated that the source 

placement was dislodged by 2 

cm. The physicist thought that the 

alarm was indicating the source 

was dislodged by only 2 mm. The 

dislodgment of the source by 2 

cm put it at the skin entry point 

of the application catheter. That 

resulted in an underdose to the 

target site and an overdose to 

the skin. Preliminary calculations 

estimate that the skin in a 7 

millimeter diameter around the 

catheter entry point may have 

received a dose of 3,700 centiGray 

(rad). The patient will be notified 

of the incident and the doctor will 

monitor the skin for ill effects.

Materials Actions

Global X-Ray & Testing 

Corporation (EA-08-008; 

EA-08-009; EA-08-010; EA-08-011; 

EA-08-013) 

On May 23, 2008, a Confirmatory 

Order (effective immediately) 

was issued to Global X-ray & 

Testing (Global) to confirm 

commitments made as a result of 

an Alternative Dispute Resolution 

(ADR) settlement agreement. NRC 

identified four violations during 

inspection and investigation 

involving: 1) a willful failure to 

provide the NRC with complete 

and accurate information; 2) 

the failure to prevent workers 

from resuming work after their 

pocket dosimeters were found 

to be off-scale; 3) the failure to 

ensure that a radiographer was 

providing personal supervision 

of the radiographer’s assistant 

through direct observation of 

the assistant’s performance of 

radiographic operations; and 

4) allowing an individual who 

was not wearing a personal 

dosimeter to conduct radiographic 

operations. In response to these 

violations, the licensee requested 

ADR. As part of the agreement, 

licensee agreed to additional 

management review that will 

include developing procedures 

for additional oversight of 

offshore radiographic operations, 

obtaining an agreement with laybarge operators that will address 

radiographic operations, incidents, 

and oversight; field audits of laybarge radiographic operations by 

licensee management, making 

arrangements for NRC inspection 

of radiographic activities on U.S. 

owned lay-barges, implementation 

of training on potential 

consequences for violation of 

NRC regulations, and delivering a 

personal letter to each employee 

regarding the consequences of 

wrongdoing. Global also agreed to 

obtain an NRC license with special 

license conditions for radiographic 

operations in offshore waters. In 

exchange for Global’s extensive 

corrective actions and most 

notably in consideration of costs 

associated with obtaining an 

NRC license, the NRC agreed 

to eliminate the civil monetary 

penalty. 

Westinghouse Electric Company

(EA-08-057) 

On May 1, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation. The violation 

involved the failure to assure safe 

and compliant activities involving 

nuclear material. Specifically, 

on November 17, 2006, a safety 

significant control interlock 

was willfully bypassed by an 

operator who disabled an alarm 

acknowledgement pushbutton 
6

associated with Conversion Line 5 

while hydrogen gas was flowing 

to the calciner in the licensee’s wet 

conversion process. This activity is 

prohibited by licensee procedures 

and NRC license conditions.

Medical

Oncology Institute of Greater 

Lafayette (EA-07-313) 

On March 31, 2008, a Notice 

of Violation was issued for a 

Severity Level III problem. The 

violations involved the failure 

to instruct an Authorized 

Medical Physicist, a supervised 

individual, in the licensee’s 

written directive procedures with 

respect to the use of byproduct 

material and failure to develop, 

implement and maintain written 

directive procedures to provide 

high confidence that each 

administration was in accordance 

with the written directive. 

Specifically, the licensee did not 

verify before treatment that the 

treatment plan was properly input 

into the high dose rate remote 

afterloader unit and did not verify, 

after treatment, that the step size, 

a treatment parameter used for 

the treatments, was in agreement 

with the treatment plan. A 

medical event occurred during the 

licensee’s administration of three 

treatment fractions to a patient. As 

a result, portions of the treatment 

site received a total dose that 

differed from the prescribed dose 

by more than 20 percent.

Karmanos Cancer Center

(EA-07-316) 

On April 10, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation. The violation 

involved the failure to develop, 

implement and maintain written 

directive procedures to provide 

high confidence that each 

administration was in accordance 

with the written directive. 

Specifically, the licensee’s written 

procedures for the implementation 

of treatment plans with its 

stereotactic radiosurgery unit 

did not require a check of the 

treatment plan parameters and 

magnetic resonance image 

orientation prior to administration 

of the treatment. As a result, 

the licensee administered a 

single gamma knife treatment 

to an unintended portion of the 

patient’s brain.

Ball Memorial Hospital

(EA-08-026) 

On May 12, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation involved two 

written directives not dated and 

signed by an authorized user 

before the administration of I-131 

sodium iodide greater than 30 

microcuries. Specifically, on April 

30, 2007, two nuclear medicine 

technologists administered I-131 

sodium iodide to two patients, 

without a dated and signed 

written directive. 

Dickinson County Memorial 

Hospital (EA-08-048) 

On May 7, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation and Proposed Imposition 

of Civil Penalty in the amount of 

$3,250 was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation. The violation 

involved the failure to control and 

maintain constant surveillance of 

licensed material that was stored 

in a controlled area. Specifically, 

on January 25, 2008, the doors to 

a room which contained licensed 

material being packaged for 

shipment were left unsecured 

and unattended, resulting in 

licensed radioactive material 

being accessible to unauthorized 

individuals via an adjacent, 

unrestricted hallway.

Saint Louis University

(EA-07-317) 

On March 31, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation involving the 

failure to control and maintain 

constant surveillance of licensed 

material that is in controlled or 

unrestricted area. Specifically, 

the licensee did not secure from 

unauthorized removal or limit 

access to materials containing a 

regulated amount of iodine-125 

located in the Medical School 

building and a regulated amount 

of hydrogen-3 located in the 

Pediatric Research Institute, both 

of which were controlled areas.

Portable Gauges

NTH Consultants, Ltd. 

(EA-08-002) 

On March 31, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation involving the 

failure to use a minimum of two 

independent physical controls 

that form tangible barriers to 

secure portable gauges from 

unauthorized removal, when 

portable gauge was not under the 

control and constant surveillance 

of the licensee. Specifically, 

licensee personnel secured the 

transport case containing a gauge 

to a vehicle with two independent 

cables and padlocks, but the 

gauge case lid was secured with 

only a padlock and the gauge was 

stolen from the vehicle.
7

Hevly Technical Services, Inc.

(EA-08-129, EA-08-130) 

On May 16, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation and Proposed Imposition 

of Civil Penalty in the amount 

of $3,000 was issued to Hevly 

Technical Services, Inc. (HTS) for 

a deliberate Severity Level III 

violation of 10 CFR 150.20(b)(3) 

involving the transfer of a portable 

moisture density gauge containing 

radioactive material to a company 

in the State of Alaska that was 

not licensed to possess or use 

the gauge. Specifically, on May 

17, 2003, HTS, a General Licensee 

under 10 CFR 150.20, transferred 

a portable gauging device 

containing radioactive material 

to Alaska Rim Engineering, a 

company that HTS knew was 

not specifically licensed by the 

NRC to receive the material. In 

addition, a second Severity Level 

III violation was issued for failure 

to file NRC Form 241- Report 

of Proposed Activities in NonAgreement States, at least three 

days prior to engaging in licensed 

activities within NRC jurisdiction. 

Specifically on May 17, 2003, HTS, 

who held specific licenses from the 

Agreement States of Washington 

and Oregon, used a portable 

device containing radioactive 

material in Palmer, Alaska, during 

training without filing a Form -241 

with the NRC. 

Individual Actions

William M. Johnston (IA-08-022)

On May 23, 2008, a Notice of 

Violation was issued for a Severity 

Level III violation involving a 

deliberate failure to provide the 

NRC with complete and accurate 

information, as required by 10 

CFR 30.10(a)(2). Specifically, in 

a report submitted to the NRC 

on May 18, 2006, the individual, 

as the radiation safety officer 

(RSO) for Global X-Ray and 

Testing Corporation, described 

an event that took place during 

radiographic operations on 

board a lay-barge on April 20, 

2006, but failed to include 

complete information regarding 

the radiation exposure to the 

radiographer involved in the 

event. He also failed to disclose 

the fact that the radiographer 

reported that his pocket dosimeter 

had gone off-scale and he did 

not reconcile or explain the 

discrepancy between the reported 

dose and the off-scale dosimeter 

reading.
