E8–12460 Filed 6–3–08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 150–00017] In the Matter of: Global X-Ray & Testing Corporation General License Pursuant to Houma, LA; 10 CFR 150.20, EA–08–008; EA–08–009; EA– 08–010; EA–08–011; Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES I Global X-Ray & Testing Corporation (Global or Licensee) is the holder of a general license pursuant to 10 CFR 150.20 issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission). This general license was granted to Global at various times VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:46 Jun 03, 2008 Jkt 214001 the NRC that it plans to conduct announced and unannounced inspections of its radiography crews working on lay-barges. This confirmatory order is issued pursuant to the agreement reached during the ADR process. II XI. Adjournment. III During that ADR session, an Agreement in Principle was reached. The elements of the agreement consisted of the following: 1. Global will develop a procedure for additional oversight of radiography crews working offshore. They will incorporate into this procedure a method for each crew to review the special requirements for offshore work with the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or a supervisor (who is a certified radiographer). The review is to be accomplished prior to leaving for an offshore job, then again when the crew arrives at their final destination where radiography will be performed to ensure that they have all the equipment necessary to conduct radiographic operations in a safe manner. Documentation of the second review is to be sent by fax or other available method to a supervisor or the RSO within 2 hours of completion, but no later than 8 hours in the event of documented communication interruptions. 2. Global will obtain an agreement with lay-barge operators. In general, this agreement would include provisions to conduct radiographic operations, respond to incidents, and facilitate direct Global management/RSO oversight of radiographers on the laybarge. 3. Global will agree to specific changes or ‘‘confirmation and acknowledgment’’ of specific changes in Global’s supervision policy (including supervision of assistant radiographers) which would include field audits of laybarge radiographic operations by Global management. Global will make reasonable attempts to conduct a minimum of four field audits per year. 4. As part of Global’s contract negotiations for lay-barge operations, Global will make arrangements for NRC inspection of Global’s lay-barge operations on U.S. owned lay-barges. Global will make every effort possible to secure, for the NRC, such access to foreign owned lay-barges. 5. Global will write and deliver a personal letter from licensee management to each employee regarding company expectations concerning 10 CFR 30.9 issues or issue a company policy statement encouraging employees to self-report. An NRC inspection was conducted in response to an event that occurred on April 20, 2006, involving the inability to retract a radiation source to its fully shielded position while conducting radiographic operations onboard a laybarge in offshore Federal waters. The inspection began on March 13, 2007, and continued with in-office review through November 26, 2007. An investigation by the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) was initiated on April 17, 2007. Based on the results of the NRC inspection and the OI investigation, the NRC identified four apparent violations which were discussed in a letter and inspection report dated February 20, 2008. The violations involved: (1) The failure to provide the NRC with complete and accurate information, as required by 10 CFR 30.9(a); (2) the failure to prevent workers from resuming work after their pocket dosimeters were found to be offscale and the possibility of radiation exposure could not be ruled out as the cause, as required by 10 CFR 34.47(d); (3) the failure to ensure that a radiographer was providing personal supervision of the radiographer’s assistant through direct observation of the assistant’s performance of radiographic operations, as required by 10 CFR 34.46(c); and (4) permitting an individual who was not wearing a personnel dosimeter during radiographic operations to act as a radiographer, in contradiction of 10 CFR 34.47(a). In addition, the NRC was concerned that the first apparent violation, the failure to provide the NRC with complete and accurate information, involved willfulness. In response to the apparent violations, Global requested ADR. On April 29, 2008, the NRC and Global met in an ADR session mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell University’s Institute on Conflict Resolution. ADR 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. During the mediation, Global provided additional corrective actions including developing an emergency procedure for retrieval of radioactive sources, an incident investigation procedure, an incident interview policy, and informed PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1
