Violation Description: On January 29, 2009, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $13,000 to Sabia, Inc. for a Severity Level III violation of 10 CFR 20.1101. Specifically, between February 25 and 29, 2008, the licensee conducted gauge dismantlement activities and failed to develop, document, and implement a radiation protection program commensurate with the scope and extent of this licensed activity. This failure created a substantial potential for exposures or releases in excess of the applicable NRC regulatory limits when its activities resulted in contamination of its workers and the facility. In addition, the licensee failed to have a radiation protection program for the gauge dismantlement activities that was sufficient to ensure that occupational doses were as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), resulting in worker doses that were not ALARA.
