In the Matter of David Huey; Order 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing an Order 

prohibiting Mr. Huey, a former manager 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 3259 

at Titan Inspections, Inc. (Titan), from 

participating in NRC-licensed activities 

for three years. This action is being 

taken because the NRC determined that 

Mr. Huey deliberately caused Titan to 

violate NRC requirements by directing a 

radiographer to perform radiography at 

a location within NRC jurisdiction 

without a second qualified individual 

being present. Such conduct violates 

NRC regulations, which prohibit any 

licensee or employee of a licensee from 

engaging in deliberate misconduct that 

causes or would have caused, if not 

detected, a licensee, to be in violation of 

any rule, regulation, order, or any term, 

condition, or limitation of any license 

issued by the Commission. The Order is 

effective upon issuance. 

DATES: The Order was issued on 

December 12, 2024.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

In the Matter of David Huey 

IA–24–007 

Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC– 

Licensed Activities 

David Huey (Huey) is a manager 

employed by Titan Inspection, Inc. 

(Titan). During the relevant time periods 

discussed below, Titan did not possess 

a specific license issued by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

under Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Part 30, but 

possessed a specific license issued 

under the regulatory jurisdiction of the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an 

Agreement State, which means it has 

entered into an agreement with the NRC 

to regulate certain radioactive material 

within its borders. As an Agreement 

State licensee, Titan could conduct 

radiography in NRC jurisdiction under 

the general NRC license granted 

pursuant to 10 CFR 150.20. As of 

September 27, 2023, Titan holds license 

No. 37–35708–01 issued by the NRC. 

The license authorizes Titan to possess 

and utilize material for the purposes of 

industrial radiography. 

II 

An investigation was initiated by the 

NRC, Office of Investigations (OI), 

Region I, on December 19, 2022, to 

determine, in part, whether Huey 

deliberately directed a Titan 

radiographer to perform radiographic 

operations at a temporary jobsite in 

West Virginia, NRC jurisdiction, on 

November 16, 2022, without a second 

qualified individual. NRC regulations, 

specifically 10 CFR 34.41(a), require 

that whenever radiography is performed 

at a location other than a permanent 

radiographic installation, a radiographer 

must be accompanied by at least one 

other qualified radiographer or an 

individual who has, at a minimum, met 

the requirements of 10 CFR 34.43(c). 

Radiography may not be performed if 

only one qualified individual is present. 

Huey stated during the OI interview that 

he was aware of the requirement to have 

a second qualified individual present 

when conducting radiography. On 

November 16, 2022, at his direction, a 

radiographer completed eleven 

radiographs without a second qualified 

individual. 

In a letter dated May 16, 2024, the 

NRC informed Huey that the NRC was 

considering escalated enforcement 

action against him for apparent 

violations of the NRC’s deliberate 

misconduct rule, 10 CFR 30.10(a)(1). In 

the letter, the NRC offered Huey the 

opportunity to respond in writing to the 

apparent violation, request a 

Predecisional Enforcement Conference 

(PEC), or request Alternative Dispute 

Resolution (ADR). Although Huey did 

sign the ADR agreement, neither Huey, 

nor his attorney, responded to requests 

for dates to hold an ADR session. On 

October 7, 2024, we sent letters to you 

and your attorney stating that if we did 

not hear back from you or your attorney 

within 10 days of confirmed receipt of 

our letter, that the NRC would proceed 

with its enforcement action which could 

result in an order prohibiting your 

involvement in NRC- licensed activities 

for a specified period of time. 

III 

Based on the above, Huey, an 

employee of Titan, engaged in deliberate 

misconduct that caused Titan to be in 

violation of 10 CFR 34.41(a). The NRC 

must be able to rely on its licensees and 

their employees to comply with NRC 

requirements. Huey’s action in causing 

Titan to violate 10 CFR 34.41(a) has 

raised serious doubt as to whether he 

can be relied upon to comply with NRC 

requirements and to provide complete 

and accurate information to the NRC. 

Consequently, I lack the requisite 

reasonable assurance that licensed 

activities can be conducted in 

compliance with the NRC’s 

requirements and that the health and 

safety of the public will be protected if 

Huey were permitted at this time to be 

involved in NRC-licensed activities. 

Therefore, the public health, safety, and 

interest require that Huey be prohibited 

from any involvement in NRC-licensed 

activities for a period of three years from 

the date of this Order. Additionally, 

Huey is required to notify the NRC of 

his first employment in NRC-licensed 

activities, including work performed in 

NRC jurisdiction under reciprocity, for 

a period of one year following the 

prohibition period. 

IV 

Accordingly, pursuant to sections 81, 

161b, 161i, 182 and 186 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 

2.202, and 10 CFR 30.10, it is hereby 

ordered that: 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
3260 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 

1 Designation in parentheses refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System 

(ADAMS) accession number. Documents referenced 

in this letter are publicly available using the 

accession number in ADAMS. 

1. David Huey is prohibited for three 

years from the date of this Order from 

conducting, supervising, directing, or in 

any other way engaging in NRC-licensed 

activities. NRC- licensed activities are 

those activities that are conducted 

pursuant to a specific or general license 

issued by the NRC, including, but not 

limited to, those activities of Agreement 

State licensees conducted pursuant to 

the authority granted by 10 CFR 150.20. 

2. If David Huey is currently involved 

in NRC-licensed activities, he must 

immediately cease those activities; 

inform the NRC of the name, address, 

and telephone number of the employer 

or other entity for whom he is 

conducting NRC-licensed activities; and 

provide a copy of this Order to the 

employer or other entity. 

3. For a period of one year after the 

three-year prohibition on engaging in 

NRC-licensed activities has expired, 

David Huey shall, within 20 days 

4. of accepting his first employment 

offer involving NRC-licensed activities 

or otherwise first becoming involved in 

NRC-licensed activities, as defined in 

Section IV.1 above, provide notice to the 

Director, Office of Enforcement, U. S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, of the 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the employer or other entity for whom 

he will be participating in or conducting 

the NRC-licensed activities. In the 

notification, Huey shall include a 

statement of his commitment to 

compliance with regulatory 

requirements and the basis for why the 

Commission should have confidence 

that he will now comply with 

applicable NRC requirements. The 

Director, Office of Enforcement, or 

designee, may, in writing, relax or 

rescind any of the above conditions 

upon demonstration by David Huey of 

good cause. 

V 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, 

Huey must submit a written answer to 

this Order under oath or affirmation 

within 30 days of its publication in the 

Federal Register. Huey’s failure to 

respond to this Order could result in 

additional enforcement action in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

Enforcement Policy. In addition, Huey 

and any other person adversely affected 

by this Order may request a hearing on 

this Order within 30 days of its 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Where good cause is shown, 

consideration will be given to extending 

the time to answer or request a hearing. 

A request for extension of time must be 

directed to the Director, Office of 

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, and include a statement of 

good cause for the extension. 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings including 

documents filed by an interested state, 

local governmental body, federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as discussed below, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13031A0561) 1 and on the NRC 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system timestamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

that provides access to the document to 

the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel 

and any others who have advised the 

Office of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as described 

above, click ‘‘cancel’’ when the link 

requests certificates and you will be 

automatically directed to the NRC’s 

electronic hearing dockets where you 

will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 3261 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

If a person other than Huey requests 

a hearing, that person shall set forth 

with particularity the manner in which 

their interest is adversely affected by 

this Order and shall address the criteria 

set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and (f). If 

a hearing is requested by Huey or a 

person whose interest is adversely 

affected, the Commission will issue an 

Order designating the time and place of 

any hearings. If a hearing is held, the 

issue to be considered at such hearing 

shall be whether this Order should be 

sustained. In the absence of any request 

for hearing, or written approval of an 

extension of time in which to request a 

hearing, the provisions specified in 

Section IV above shall be final 30 days 

from the date this Order is published in 

the Federal Register without further 

order or proceedings. If an extension of 

time for requesting a hearing has been 

approved, the provisions specified in 

Section IV shall be final when the 

extension expires if a hearing request 

has not been received.

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (Sequoyah), 

Unit 2. The license provides, among 

other things, that the facility is subject 

to all applicable rules, regulations, and 

orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC, the Commission) 

now or hereafter in effect. Sequoyah 

consists of two pressurized-water 

reactors located in Hamilton County,

II. Request/Action 

By letter dated November 27, 2024 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML24332A119), and 

pursuant to title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 26, 

‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs,’’ section 

26.9, ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ TVA 

requested a one-time exemption from 

the work hour requirements in 10 CFR 

26.205, ‘‘Work hours,’’ paragraph (d)(7). 

Specifically, TVA requested to use the 

work hour requirements in 10 CFR 

26.205(d)(4), which are applicable 

during the first 60 days of a unit outage, 

in lieu of the work hour requirements in 

10 CFR 26.205(d)(7), for a period of no 

more than 21 days for individuals 

specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1), (a)(2), 

and (a)(4). 

Licensees are required to control the 

work hours of any individual who 

performs the duties identified in 10 CFR 

26.4(a). One way of doing this is by 

complying with the 10 CFR 26.205(d)(7) 

requirements for maximum average 

work hours wherein the individuals 

may not work more than a weekly 

average of 54 hours, calculated using an 

averaging period of up to 6 weeks, 

which advances by 7 consecutive 

calendar days at the finish of every 

averaging period. However, according to 

10 CFR 26.205(d)(4), licensees need not 

meet these requirements during the first 

60 days of a unit outage for individuals 

specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through
