NRC Issues Order Prohibiting Former Manager for Pennsylvania Firm from NRC-related Activities for Three Years
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing an order prohibiting a former manager for a Pennsylvania radiography firm from involvement in NRC-licensed activities for three years due to deliberate misconduct. The order stems from a failure to adhere to safety requirements during radiography work conducted at a temporary job site in West Virginia.
Titan Inspection LLC, based in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, carried out industrial radiography activities in 2022 near Wheeling, West Virginia, and did not meet NRC requirements regarding radiographer staffing. An investigation by the NRC’s Office of Investigation determined that the radiographer assigned to the job and the former Titan manager were aware of the regulatory requirement but did not secure an assistant radiographer prior to performing work at the job site.
The NRC issued Severity Level III Notices of Violations to the company and the former radiographer earlier this year, as a result of the concerns identified.
Industrial radiography involves the use of a device containing nuclear material to check for cracks or flaws in materials that would not otherwise be visible.
