U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory 

Commission

CONSOLIDATION OF FUEL CYCLE AND 

NUCLEAR MATERIALS REGIONAL 

PROGRAMS

In a staff requirements memorandum of February 26, 

2003, the Commission approved consolidation 

of portions of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission’s (NRC’s) regional fuel cycle and 

nuclear materials programs. The Commission’s 

decision directs the staff to consolidate oversight of 

fuel cycle inspection activities in NRC’s Region II 

office, located in Atlanta, GA, and to consolidate 

the Region II nuclear materials program in NRC’s 

Region I office, located in King of Prussia, PA. 

The fuel cycle portion of this decision would 

make Region II responsible for conduct of fuel 

cycle inspection activities Nation-wide (except for 

inspections of criticality safety analyses and material 

control and accountability, which will remain in 

Headquarters, and inspections of uranium mills). 

In terms of nuclear materials, the Commission’s 

decision would combine licensing, inspection, 

enforcement, and allegation responsibilities for 800 

Region II licensees with the 1700 licensees currently 

managed by Region I. Agreement State program 

resources of Regions I and II would also be managed 

by Region I, under the planned consolidation. 

The NRC staff has proposed an effective date of 

October 1, 2003, for these organizational changes, 

and is engaged in appropriate discussions and 

bargaining with employee union representatives 

on implementation of this realignment. A 

formal announcement is expected to be made to 

NRC licensees and external stakeholders later 

this summer.

UNITED STATES ENRICHMENT 

CORPORATION INC. GAS CENTRIFUGE 

URANIUM ENRICHMENT

The gas centrifuge uranium enrichment process 

uses a large number of rotating cylinders in series 

to enrich uranium in its uranium-235 (U-235) 

isotope. These series of centrifuge machines, called 

trains, are interconnected to form cascades. In the 

early 1980s, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 

developed a gas centrifuge program in Oak Ridge, 

Tennessee, and in Piketon, Ohio. More than 1300 

gas centrifuges were installed, and 700 operated 

with uranium hexafluoride at the Gas Centrifuge 

Enrichment Plant in Piketon, Ohio. About 100 

machines operated for 9 months. However, the idea 

was abandoned in 1985 in favor of the Advanced 

Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) process. 

NMSS Licensee Newsletter

The United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC) 

—the private corporation formed in 1993, by the 

U.S. Government, to continue developing the AVLIS 

process and to continue operating the two existing 

gaseous diffusion plants in Pacucah, Kentucky, 

and Piketon, Ohio—terminated research on the 

AVLIS process in 2000. At the same time, USEC 

began to reconsider gas centrifuge technology as 

a more practical advanced enrichment technology 

for replacing gaseous diffusion, which is more 

expensive and requires about 20 times the amount 

of energy to generate the same amount of product. 

By this time, the gas centrifuge process had already 

been commercially developed by the Russians, and 

by Urenco, in the United Kingdom, Germany, and 

The Netherlands.

USEC is the U.S. Government’s exclusive agent for 

implementing the historic 1993 agreement between 

the United States and Russia, which calls for Russia 

to convert highly enriched uranium from over 

20,000 nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium, 

to be used as fuel to generate electricity. As such, 

USEC has been receiving and selling enriched 

uranium that has been downblended in Russia, 

since 1995. In June 2002, USEC and DOE signed 

an agreement that allows USEC to use DOE gas 

centrifuge technology and provides a schedule for 

development of a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment 

test and demonstration facility (Lead Cascade) and 

a commercial production facility. As a condition 

of the agreement, USEC must deploy a 1-million 

separative work unit (SWU) advanced enrichment 

technology production plant at either Portsmouth, 

OH, or Paducah, KY, by March 2010 and March 

2011, respectively. The production plant may be 

expanded at USEC’s option to generate 3.5 million 

SWU at either Portsmouth or Paducah by September 

2011 and September 2012, respectively. There are 

about 100 nuclear power reactors currently operating 

in the United States that require about 10 million 

SWU of enriched uranium each year. If USEC 

fails to meet the conditions of its agreement with 

DOE, it could lose its exclusive-agent status for the 

Russian agreement.

On December 5, 2002, based on cost and schedule 

considerations, USEC announced that it would site 

the Lead Cascade facility at its Portsmouth gaseous 

diffusion plant in Piketon, Ohio. By letter dated 

February 11, 2003, USEC submitted, to the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), its license 

application and environmental report for the Lead 

Cascade. The Lead Cascade will possess up to 

250 kilograms (542.5 lbs) of uranium hexafluoride 

and will consist of up to 240 operating, full-scale 

centrifuge machines. The uranium enrichment 

level will be limited to 10 percent U-235 by weight. 

The Lead Cascade would recycle the enriched and 

depleted uranium it produces. The only uranium 

withdrawals from the cascade will be in the form of 

samples. After NRC completed an administrative 

review of USEC’s license application to possess and 

use, for 5 years, special nuclear, source, and byproduct material in the Lead Cascade, NRC notified 

USEC, by letter dated March 13, 2003, that it had 

found the Lead Cascade application acceptable for 

technical review. On April 9, 2003, NRC published, 

in the Federal Register, a notice of opportunity 

to request a hearing within 30 days, concerning 

USEC’s Lead Cascade application. No petitions for 

a hearing were received.

For the Lead Cascade application, NRC will prepare 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) but not an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). NRC will 

prepare an EIS only if the EA concludes that an 

EIS is required. NRC will also prepare a Safety 

Evaluation Report (SER) in which it will document 

the safety and security reasons for its final decision. 

NRC intends to complete its Lead Cascade license 

application review and issue its SER, EA, and its 

final decision, by February 2004.

control and maintain constant surveillance of this 

licensed material.

Steel of West Virginia, Inc. (EA-03-047)

On April 24, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued 

for a Severity Level III problem involving: (1) the 

removal of a damaged gauge, and installation of 

a device containing sealed sources, to replace the 

damaged gauge, by an individual who was not 

under the supervision of the radiation safety officer 

and who was not licensed to perform services; and 

(2) the conduct of a radiation survey with a meter 

that could not evaluate the extent of the radiation 

levels present and that had not been calibrated at the 

proper frequency. 

American Geotech, Inc. (EA-03-019)

On April 7, 2003, a Notice of Violation and 

Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the 

amount of $3000 was issued for a willful Severity 

Level III problem involving: (1) the failure to 

issue approved dosimetry to an individual who 

used licensed materials; and (2) the failure to 

ensure that individuals using licensed materials 

are either designated by the radiation safety officer 

and properly trained, or are under the required 

supervision of someone named on the license. 

G.A. Covey Engineering (EA-03-046)

On March 31, 2003, a Notice of Violation was 

issued for a Severity Level III problem involving: 

(1) the failure to control and maintain constant 

surveillance of licensed byproduct material in use 

at a temporary job site [three portable moisture/ 

density gauges, each containing approximately 370 

megabecquerel (MBq) (10 millicurie) (mCi) of 

cesium-137 and 1.85 gigabecquerel (GBq) (50 mCi)

(1) the failure to conduct operations so that the total 

effective dose equivalent to individual members 

of the public from licensed operations does not 

exceed 1 millisievert (0.1 rem) in a year; and (2) the 

failure of the radiation safety officer to investigate 

overexposures and other deviations from approved 

radiation safety practice and implement corrective 

actions as necessary. In this case, a member of 

the public received an exposure that exceeded the 

regulatory limit while visiting a relative who had 

been administered a radiopharmaceutical therapy 

dosage of sodium iodine-131. The licensee did 

not take necessary steps to ensure that the visitor’s 

exposure remained within regulatory limits.

York Hospital (EA-03-033)

On April 18, 2003, a Notice of Violation and 

Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the

byproduct radioactive material to an entity that was 

not authorized to receive it; and (2) the submission 

of inaccurate information, to NRC, regarding the 

transfer of the licensed material. Although the civil 
5

penalty would have been fully mitigated, based 

on the normal civil penalty assessment process, a 

base civil penalty was assessed in accordance with 

Section VII.A.1.g of the Enforcement Policy, to 

reflect the significance of maintaining the control of 

licensed material

Pacific Radiopharmacy, Ltd. (EA-02-172 and 

EA-02-246)

Level I problem(assessed a $6000 civil penalty) 

involved the failure to limit the occupational dose to 

an individual adult to the shallow-dose equivalent of 

500 millisieverts (50 rem) to any extremity, and the 

failure to make surveys that are necessary to comply 

with regulations. The Severity Level III violation 

(assessed a $3000 civil penalty) involved multiple 

examples (some of which were willful) of failures to 

comply with the terms and conditions of the license. 

Radiography

JANX (EA-03-042)

On June 2, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued 

for a Severity Level III violation involving the 

failure to maintain the annual occupational exposure 

to an individual adult (a radiographer employed 

by JANX), below 50 millisieverts (mSv) (5 rem) 

total effective dose equivalent. Specifically, 

the individual received 59.9 mSv (5.99 rem) 

total effective dose equivalent, for the period 

December 16, 2001, to December 15, 2002.

Global X-Ray and Testing Corporation 

(EA-03-011)

On May 22, 2003, a Notice of Violation and 

Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount

included about 651.2 gigabecquerel (17.6 curies) of 

iridium-192] in an unrestricted area.

C&J Nondestructive Testing, Inc. (EA-03-076)

On May 19, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued 

for a Severity Level III violation involving a 

failure to file NRC Form 241, “Report of Proposed 

Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of 

Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters,” 

with NRC, before conducting licensed activities in 

NRC jurisdiction.

Testwell Laboratories, Inc. (EA-03-036) 

On May 14, 2003, a Notice of Violation was 

issued for a Severity Level III violation involving 

the failure to file for reciprocity, with NRC, for 

storage and use of licensed sources in a location 

outside an Agreement State. A Notice of Violation 

and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the 

amount of $6000 was also issued for a Severity 

Level III violation involving the willful actions of its 

radiation safety officer, who knowingly performed 

and allowed radiography work by other employees, 

without accompaniment by a certified radiographer, 

when such work required the supervision of a 

certified radiographer.

Cooperheat-MQS, Inc. (EA-02-189)

On February 19, 2003, a Notice of Violation and 

Proposed Imposition of civil Penalty in the amount 

of $6000 was issued for a willful Severity Level III 

problem involving: (1) a failure to amend the license 

to reflect a change in the radiation safety officer; and 

(2) a failure to amend the license to add two new 

field stations and to use a permanent radiographic 

installation before receiving NRC authorization. 

Other

American Radiolabeled Chemicals (EA-02-255)

On April 17, 2003, a Notice of Violation and 

Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount 

of $12,000 was issued for a willful Severity Level 

III problem involving the deliberate failure to: 

(1) make required surveys to limit the dose to 

members of the public; (2) perform required weekly 

removable contamination surveys in the restricted 

and unrestricted areas; and (3) accurately record 
6 

the results of required weekly fume hood face 

velocity measurements. Although the normal civil 

penalty assessment process would have resulted 

in a base civil penalty, NRC exercised discretion 

in accordance with Section VII.A.1(c) of the 

Enforcement Policy and doubled the penalty because 

of the licensee’s particularly poor performance 

surrounding the violations. 

Roof Consultant Services (EA-03-005)

On April 17, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued 

for a willful Severity Level III problem involving 

the failures to: (1) complete decommissioning of its 

site by the approved alternative decommissioning 

schedule; and (2) confine its storage of byproduct 

material to a location that was authorized by 

the license. Although the normal civil penalty 

assessment process would have resulted in a civil 

penalty, NRC exercised discretion in accordance 

with Section VII.B.6 of the Enforcement Policy, 

and refrained from issuing a civil penalty, since the 

licensee no longer possessed licensed material.
