On August 11, 2010, the NRC 

submitted the Radiation Source 

Protection and Security Task Force 

(Task Force) quadrennial report 

to President Barack Obama and 

Congress. The report outlines the 

federal government’s efforts over 

the past 4 years to enhance the 

security of radioactive sources. 

The Task Force was established 

under the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005, with the NRC as the 

lead agency, to evaluate and 

provide recommendations on the 

security of radiation sources in 

the United States from potential 

criminal or terrorist threats, 

including acts of sabotage, 

theft or use in a radiological 

dispersal device. The Task Force 

consists of representatives from 

14 federal agencies and 2 state 

organizations. 

The legislation mandated that the 

Task Force provide a report to the 

President and Congress in 2006 and 

every 4 years thereafter. The first 

report in 2006 described efforts to 

strengthen regulatory controls and 

made several recommendations to 

enhance the overall security of risksignificant radioactive materials. 

In the 4 years since the first report, 

the Task Force met routinely to 

discuss progress and evaluate the 

protection and security of risksignificant radioactive materials. 

The 2010 report presents the status 

of the recommendations and 

actions from the 2006 report as well 

as new recommendations in the 

following areas: 

•	coordination and 

communication improvements 

among government agencies 

and the public 

•	advances in the security and 

controls of radioactive sources 

•	recovery and disposition of 

unused radioactive sources, and 

•	alternative technologies that 

could perform all or some of the 

functions of radiation sources. 

The Task Force will continue to 

meet to implement and monitor 

the progress of efforts to improve 

the security of radioactive sources 

and identify any gaps that 

may arise.

Additional information on the Task 

Force, including the 2010 and 2006 

reports, is available on the NRC 

Web site at http: //www.nrc.gov/

security/byproduct/task-force.html.

INTER-AGENCY TASK FORCE REPORT

SAFETY AND SECURITY 

CULTURE

On September 17, 2010, the NRC 

published a revised draft safety 

culture policy statement in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 57081; http: 

//edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/

pdf/2010-23249.pdf). The draft 

policy statement sets forth the 

Commission’s expectation that all 

licensees and certificate holders 

establish and maintain a work 

environment where management 

and employees are dedicated 

to putting safety first. The 

comment period for the revised 

draft policy statement closed on 

October 18, 2010.

The draft policy statement expands 

the Commission’s current policy 

on safety culture and provides 

the Commission’s expectations 

for individuals and organizations 

that perform or manage regulated 

activities. The NRC is seeking to 

develop safety-culture-related 

terminology that could be used 

by the NRC, Agreement States, 

licensees, certificate holders, and 

others involved with the use of 

byproduct material. 

On February 2, 2010, the NRC held a 

2-day public workshop to develop 

the safety culture terminology. At 

the workshop, a panel consisting 

of a wide range of materials users, 

nuclear power reactor licensees, and 

non-licensees—with contributions 

from other meeting attendees—

developed a definition of safety 

culture and a set of safety culture 

traits (high-level descriptions 

of areas important to safety 

culture). The revised draft policy 

statement published for comment 

in September 2010 included a 

definition of safety culture (i.e., 

Nuclear safety culture is the core 

values and behaviors resulting from 

a collective commitment by leaders 

and individuals to emphasize 

safety over competing goals to 

ensure protection of people and 

the environment) and a set of 

safety culture traits—Leadership 

Safety Values and Actions, Problem 

Identification and Resolution, 

Personal Accountability, Work 

Processes, Continuous Learning, 

Environment for Raising Concerns, 

Effective Safety Communication, 

and Respectful Work Environment. 

The descriptions of the traits 

were modified from the 

wording developed during the 

February workshop; however, the 

modifications made were minor 

and not substantive in nature.

The revised draft policy statement, 

safety culture terminology, and next 

steps were discussed at a public 

meeting on September 28, 2010. 

During the public meeting, the 

attendees had some discussion 

regarding whether complacency 

and a questioning attitude should 

be added to the set of safety culture 

traits. Information on safety culture, 

NRC activities relating to safety 

culture, and workshops can be 

found at the NRC’s safety culture 

Web site: http: //www.nrc.gov/

EXPORTS TO CUBA, IRAN, 

IRAQ, NORTH KOREA, 

SYRIA AND SUDAN

NRC permits the export of 

NRC-controlled commodities 

through either a “general 

license” or a “specific license”. 

The NRC regulations authorizing 

general licenses are found 

at 10 CFR §§110.21 through 

110.26. An NRC general license 

cannot be used to export NRCcontrolled commodities to an 

embargoed destination (Cuba, 

Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria 

or Sudan) which are found at 

NRC regulation 10 CFR §110.28. 

Shipments to a distributor or 

to a “middle man” in a nonembargoed destination do 

not relieve the exporter of the 

requirement to obtain a specific 

license for NRC-controlled 

commodities being exported 

to end users in embargoed 

destinations. Exporters must 

determine who the consignee 

or end user is for exports of any 

NRC-controlled commodities. If 

the consignee or end user is in 

an embargoed destination, then 

the NRC regulations require the 

exporter to apply for and obtain 

a specific NRC license authorizing 

the export of a specific 

commodity to a named ultimate 

consignee for a particular 

end use in the embargoed 

destination.

Since FSME was formed in October 2006, I have had the distinct 

honor of serving as its only Director. This position and newsletter 

column give me a forum to announce important office 

developments. I hope you have found them informative. In this 

issue, I would like to highlight some of our major achievements 

from fiscal year 2010. 

Starting with nuclear byproduct materials, I am especially proud 

of our office leadership on the NRC’s submission of the 2010 

Radiation Source Protection and Security Task Force report. This 

effort, which is discussed in more detail in a separate article in 

this newsletter, resulted in several important security and control 

enhancements for radioactive sources. The report required 

extensive internal and external Federal and State coordination. 

We spent much of 2010 working with States to roll out a new 

generation of our License Tracking System (LTS). This laid the 

foundation for a new Web-Based Licensing System (WBL). A 

new contract, which we call the Integrated Source Management 

Portfolio, will allow us to integrate LTS Version 2, WBL, and the 

License Verification System. 

With State and regional assistance, FSME completed an assessment of the Integrated Materials Performance 

Evaluation Program (IMPEP). IMPEP is a 15 year old program which evaluates the technical adequacy and 

consistency of NRC and Agreement State materials programs. Soon you should see some IMPEP enhancements 

and expansions based on that assessment.

Our Waste Management and Environmental Protection Division issued a license to Uranium One Americas, Inc. to 

construct and operate its Moore Ranch in situ recovery facility in Wyoming- the first such new license issued to a 

uranium recovery applicant in many years. Meanwhile, the Division continued to review other uranium recovery 

submissions. By engaging successfully with other State and Federal agencies, the Division also concurred on the 

West Valley New York Environmental Impact Statement and its Phase I Decommissioning Plan.

Our Rulemaking Division spent the year engaging with stakeholders and participating in collaborative working 

groups. Numerous important rulemakings were proposed or finalized that will lead to regulatory changes affecting 

medical users, general licenses, distributors of source material, and spent fuel licensees and vendors. Additionally, I 

was able to meet with many of you who are State regulators and licensees in a Part 37 (materials security) workshop 

in Austin, TX. This workshop, and a second one held in Rockville, MD, was well-attended. Both workshops’ participants 

provided us with excellent feedback that will allow us to formulate a more informed proposed rule to the Commission 

in 2011. That same division also published a brochure highlighting the importance of NRC interactions with Native 

American stakeholders, and hosted a program, to draw more attention to the tribal liaison program.

In 2010, as part of the President’s Open Government initiative, all Federal agencies opened more portals to the public. 

In FSME, we published several new data sets that will allow interested individuals to be better informed about our 

materials licensing, uranium recovery, and decommissioning activities. These data sets will be routinely updated.

Now, we transition into 2011. As always, FSME remains committed to seek and maintain strong partnerships with 

program stakeholders under a common goal of ensuring safety, security, and protection of the environment.

SIGNIFICANT 

ENFORCEMENT 

ACTIONS 

The NRC issued significant actions 

to licensees and an individual for 

failure to comply with regulations.

National Institute of Standards 

and Technology 

(EA-09-142)

On March 1, 2010, the NRC 

issued an Immediately Effective 

Confirmatory Order to the U.S. 

Department of Commerce’s 

National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST or licensee) 

to confirm commitments made 

as a result of an Alternate Dispute 

Resolution mediation session 

held on January 5, 2010. This 

enforcement action is based on 

10 apparent violations of NRC 

requirements at NIST’s facility in 

Boulder, Colorado, which were 

identified during NRC inspection 

and investigation activities 

conducted in response to a 

June 9, 2008, plutonium spill. The 

apparent violations involved the 

licensee’s failure to conduct the 

radiation safety program at NISTBoulder in accordance with NRC 

requirements and the conditions 

of the NIST-Boulder license.

The licensee agreed to take the 

following actions: (1) complete 

an independent assessment of 

the radiation safety program at 

NIST-Boulder; (2) submit copies 

of the required annual radiation 

safety audit to the NRC; (3) develop 

and implement a procedure 

for training new employees on 

radiation safety policies and 

procedures; (4) upgrade initial and 

refresher training for employees 

who work with radioactive 

materials, including a review 

of lessons learned from the 

plutonium spill and the associated 

apparent violations; (5) submit 

a license amendment request 

for deletion of the radionuclides 

on the NIST-Boulder license that 

NIST no longer plans to use; 

(6) develop a formal radiation 

hazards analysis process; (7) 

revise the NIST Ionizing Radiation 

Safety Committee charter to 

require additional review of NRC 

submittals; (8) revise the NIST 

radiation safety program policy 

to indicate that all individuals 

interacting with the NRC are 

required to provide complete and 

accurate information; (9) develop 

a clearly defined process for 

acquiring radioactive materials; 

and (10) pay a civil penalty of 

$10,000. In consideration of these 

commitments, and other actions 

already completed by NIST, the 

NRC agreed not to pursue any 

additional enforcement actions 

for the apparent violations or 

count this matter as previous 

enforcement for the purposes 

of assessing potential future 

enforcement actions in accordance 

with Section VI.C. of the 

Enforcement Policy. 

Gamma Knife Center of the 

Pacific 

(EA-09-289) 

On February 23, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation for 

a Severity Level III violation to 

Gamma Knife Center of the Pacific 

for a failure to implement 10 

CFR 35.41(b). Specifically, as of 

July 2, 2009, the licensee failed 

to develop, implement, and 

maintain written procedures to 

provide high confidence that 

each medical administration is 

in accordance with the written 

directive. The procedures did not 

require explicit verification that the 

administration was in accordance 

with the treatment plan and 

written directive. Consequently, 

the treatment plan and written 

directive were not followed to 

ensure that the collimator was 

used in the treatment of a patient.

Kanawha Scales & Systems, Inc. 

(EA-09-312) 

On February 18, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of 

Violation to Kanawha 

Scales & Systems, Inc., 

a licensee of the State of Ohio, for a 

Severity Level III violation involving 

10 CFR 150.20. Specifically, on 

November 2, 2009, Kanawha Scales 

& Systems, Inc. used sealed sources 

in a non-agreement state without 

filing an NRC Form 241 at least 3 

days prior to engaging in licensed 

activities in areas of exclusive 

Federal jurisdiction. 

Beta Gamma Nuclear Radiology, 

Inc. 

(EA-09-147) 

On January 21, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation 

(NOV) and Immediately Effective 

Confirmatory Order to Beta 

Gamma Nuclear Radiology, Inc. 

(BGNR) to confirm commitments 

made as a result of an 

Alternative Dispute Resolution 

(ADR) mediation session held 

on October 27, 2009. This 

enforcement action is based on 

a violation of 10 CFR 30.9 which 

requires, in part, that information 
5

provided to the Commission by a 

licensee, or information required 

by the Commission’s regulations 

to be maintained by the licensee 

shall be complete and accurate in 

all material respects. Contrary to 

this requirement, in a May 5, 2008 

response contesting a Severity 

Level IV Notice of Violation, BGNR 

maintained, and provided to 

the NRC, information that was 

not complete and accurate in all 

material respects. Specifically, the 

BGNR response stated that three 

written directives, administered 

on September 14, 2005, and 

February 19 and 26, 2008, 

were written prior to the 

administrations, when in fact, the 

written directives were signed and 

dated after the administrations. 

The written directives were 

required to be maintained by 10 

CFR 35.40(a), and were therefore, 

material to the NRC. BGNR 

agreed to: (1) perform quarterly 

comprehensive radiation safety 

audits and (2) authorize a new 

radiation safety officer for a 2 year 

period. In recognition of these 

commitments, the NRC agreed 

to issue to BGNR a civil penalty 

in the amount of $5,000 and also 

issue an NOV for a Severity Level III 

violation of 10 CFR 30.9.

MEDICAL

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital 

(EA-09-335) 

On February 2, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation to 

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for a 

Severity Level III violation involving 

the failure to notify the NRC 

Operations Center by telephone 

no later than the next calendar 

day after discovery of the medical 

event as required by 10 CFR 

35.3045(c). Specifically, Nanticoke 

Memorial Hospital became aware 

that a medical event had occurred 

on June 26, 2009, but the NRC was 

not notified until July 15, 2009.

Great Falls Clinic

(EA-09-290) 

On January 21, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation to 

Great Falls Clinic for Severity 

Level III violations associated 

with the failure to: (1) secure from 

unauthorized removal or access 

licensed materials that are stored 

in controlled or unrestricted 

areas, in violation of 10 CFR 

20.1801 and (2) secure the unit, 

console, console keys and the 

treatment room when not in use 

or unattended, in violation of 10 

CFR 35.610 (a)(1). Specifically, 

the licensee stored a high doserate remote afterloader unit in a 

designated controlled area and did 

not secure the radioactive material 

from unauthorized removal or 

access. The console and unit were 

found in the unattended, and 

unsecured, designated controlled 

area. The console was found with 

its key inserted.

CJW Medical Center - JohnstonWillis Campus 

(EA-09-040) 

On January 21, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation to 

CJW Medical Center - JohnstonWillis Campus for a Severity 

Level III violation of 10 CFR 

35.41(a)(2) involving the failure 

to develop, implement, and 

maintain written procedures 

to provide high confidence 

that each administration is 

in accordance with written 

directives. Specifically, as of 

December 16, 2008, the licensee’s 

procedures did not require 

verification of the treatment 

site nor resolution of any 

inconsistencies in the written 

directive prior to administration 

of the dose. This resulted in a 

patient receiving treatment to the 

left trigeminal nerve instead of to 

the originally-intended site (right 

trigeminal nerve).

Allegiance Health

(EA-09-266) 

On January 6, 2010, the NRC issued 

a Notice of Violation to Allegiance 

Health for a Severity Level III 

violation involving the failure to 

develop written procedures to 

provide high confidence that each 

administration is in accordance 

with the written directive as 

required by 10 CFR 35.41.

Specifically, on April 16, 2009, 

the licensee’s procedures did not 

contain any steps to ensure that 

no changes had occurred in the 

patient’s prostate volume between 

the time the treatment plan was 

prepared and the administration 

of the treatment. No other method 

was provided to ensure that the 

administration was in accordance 

with the written directive.

INDIVIDUAL 

ACTION

Dr. Juan E. Perez Monté 

(IA-09-041)

On January 21, 2010, the NRC 

issued a Notice of Violation 

(NOV) and Immediately Effective 

Confirmatory Order to Dr. Perez 

Monté, former Radiation Safety 

Officer for Beta Gamma Nuclear 

Radiology, Inc., (BGNR) to confirm 

commitments made as a result of 

an Alternative Dispute Resolution 

(ADR) mediation session held 

on October 27, 2009. This 

enforcement action is based on an 

apparent deliberate violation of 10 

CFR 30.10, which requires, in part, 

that an employee of a licensee 

may not deliberately submit to 

the NRC information that the 

employee knows to be incomplete 

or inaccurate in some respect 

material to the NRC. Contrary to 

this requirement, Dr. Perez Monté 

submitted information known 

to be inaccurate in some respect 

material to the NRC, in violation 

of 10 CFR 30.10(a)(2); and as a 

result, caused BGNR to maintain 

inaccurate information contrary to 

10 CFR 30.9, in violation of 10 CFR 

30.10(a)(1). Dr. Perez Monté agreed 

to: (1) not serve as radiation safety 

officer (RSO) at BGNR or other 

licensed facilities for at least two 

years and (2) provide outreach to 

the nuclear medicine community 

to help deter others from violating 

NRC regulations. In recognition 

of these commitments, the NRC 

agreed to not issue Dr. PerezMonté an Order prohibiting 

involvement in NRC-licensed 

activities other than the 2 year 

restriction on serving as RSO, and 

also issued him an NOV containing 

a Severity Level III violation of 10 

CFR 30.10.
