samples for analysis of carbon and 

nitrogen isotope values to examine 

diets, and for mercury (Hg). All 

captured birds will be released.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 150–00017; NRC–2010–0164; 

EA–08–184] 

In the Matter of CAN USA, Inc., Harvey, 

Louisiana; General License Pursuant 

to 10 CFR 150.20; Confirmatory Order 

(Effective Immediately) 

I 

CAN USA, Inc. (CAN USA or 

Licensee) is the holder of State of 

Louisiana Materials License LA–10258– 

01, which authorizes possession and use 

of sealed sources for industrial 

radiography. Louisiana is an Agreement 

State under Section 274b of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended. 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 

150.20(a)(1), CAN USA is granted a 

general license by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC or 

Commission) to conduct the same 

activities authorized by its Louisiana 

license in offshore Federal waters. CAN 

USA has performed licensed activities 

in offshore Federal waters under its 

general NRC license at various times 

during calendar years 2001 to 2010. 

This Confirmatory Order is the result 

of an agreement reached during an 

alternative dispute resolution (ADR) 

mediation session conducted on 

March 9, 2010. 

The Appendix to this Order contains 

Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information (SUNSI). When separated 

from the Appendix, this Order is 

decontrolled. 

II 

On June 12, 2008, the NRC conducted 

a routine inspection of CAN USA’s 

radiographic operations onboard a 

Chevron USA platform located in 

offshore Federal waters. The NRC’s 

Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an 

investigation on August 13, 2008. 

Based on the inspection and the 

evidence developed during the 

associated investigation, apparent 

violations of NRC requirements were 

identified. First, it appeared that a 

radiographer conducted radiographic 

operations without a second qualified 

individual present. Second, it appeared 

that the radiographer failed to supervise 

and maintain direct observation of a 

radiographer’s assistant during the 

assistant’s use of a radiographic 

exposure device, and that the assistant 

used the device while not under the 

personal supervision of the 

radiographer. Third, it appeared that 

both individuals failed to control and 

maintain constant surveillance of 

licensed material that was in a 

controlled or unrestricted area and not 

in storage. The NRC also identified an 

apparent violation of NRC security 

requirements that is described in the 

Appendix to this Order (Appendix). 

(The Appendix includes security-related 

information; therefore, it is not publicly 

available.) In addition, the NRC was 

concerned that willfulness may have 

been associated with three of those 

apparent violations. The NRC described 

the results of the inspection and 

investigation in a letter to CAN USA 

dated January 27, 2010. In response to 

the NRC’s January 27, 2010, letter, CAN 

USA requested ADR to resolve these 

issues. 

On March 9, 2010, the NRC and CAN 

USA met in an ADR session mediated 

by a professional mediator, arranged 

through Cornell University’s Institute on 

Conflict Resolution. Alternative dispute 

resolution is a process in which a 

neutral mediator with no decisionmaking authority assists the parties in 

reaching an agreement on resolving any 

differences regarding the dispute. This 

Confirmatory Order is issued pursuant
