NRC Proposes $7,000 Fine To New Jersey Company For Violations Of NRC Requirements
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has cited Mistras Group, Inc., of Princeton Junction, N.J., for two violations of NRC requirements and proposed a $7,000 civil penalty.
During a review of Mistras’ export records, the NRC found that in July of last year Mistras exported two iridium-192 sealed sources to a company in Canada, without obtaining a specific export license as required, and did not provide the export notifications to the NRC and the Canadian government in advance of the export of sources as required.
