INITIAL INVESTIGATION.
Before allowing an individual
  unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive
  material or to the devices that contain the material, licensees must complete a
  background investigation of the individual seeking unescorted access
  authorization. The scope of the investigation must encompass at least the seven
  years preceding the date of the background investigation or since the
  individual's eighteenth birthday, whichever is shorter. The background
  investigation must include at a minimum:
(A)
  Fingerprinting and an FBI identification and criminal history records check as
  required by 180 NAC
  24-007;
(B) Licensees must verify the true identity
  of the individual who is applying for unescorted access authorization to ensure
  that the applicant is who they claim to be. A licensee must review official
  identification documents and compare the documents to personal information data
  provided by the individual to identify any discrepancy in the information.
  Official document types include: driver's license; passport; government
  identification; or certificate of birth issued by the state, province, or
  country of birth. Licensees must document the type, expiration, and
  identification number of the identification document, or maintain a photocopy
  of identifying documents on file in accordance with 180 NAC
  24-009. Licensees must certify in
  writing that the identification was properly reviewed, and must maintain the
  certification and all related documents for review upon inspection;
(C) Licensees must complete an employment
  history verification, including military history. Licensees must verify the
  individual's employment with each previous employer for the most recent seven
  years before the date of application;
(D) Licensees must verify the individual
  participated in the education process during the claimed period;
(E) Licensees must complete reference checks
  to determine the character and reputation of the individual who has applied for
  unescorted access authorization. Unless other references are not available,
  reference checks may not be conducted with any person who is known to be a
  close member of the individual's family, including but not limited to the
  individual's spouse, parents, siblings, or children, or any individual who
  resides in the individual's permanent household. Reference checks under 180 NAC
  24-004 through
  24-010 must be limited to whether the
  individual has been and continues to be trustworthy and reliable;
(F) The licensee must also, to the extent
  possible, obtain independent information to corroborate that provided by the
  individual; and
(G) If a previous
  employer, educational institution, or any other entity with which the
  individual claims to have been engaged fails to provide information or
  indicates an inability or unwillingness to provide information within a time
  frame deemed appropriate by the licensee but at least after ten business days
  of the request or if the licensee is unable to reach the entity, the licensee
  must document the refusal, unwillingness, or inability in the record of
  investigation; and attempt to obtain the information from an alternate
  source.
