Order Suspending License; APINDE Inc.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an Order suspending the license of APINDE Inc. (APINDE) located in Huntington, West Virginia. The NRC has determined that this action is necessary based on an ongoing review of the circumstances through which APINDE obtained and subsequently used its NRC license for industrial radiography. Specifically, the NRC has determined that APINDE submitted inaccurate information in its initial license application pertaining to the qualifications for an individual proposed to be the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). This resulted in the NRC issuing a license to the company that was, in part, based on the inaccurate information and in APINDE maintaining an industrial radiography license without a qualified RSO. Further, after the initial RSO resigned, and APINDE submitted an application to amend the license and name a new RSO, the company submitted inaccurate information pertaining to that individual. Moreover, the NRC has information indicating that APINDE used its NRC license to procure a sealed radiography source, and may have allowed unauthorized access to the source. As a result, the NRC has lost assurance that APINDE can conduct the activities authorized under its license in compliance with NRC regulations and will protect the health and safety of the public. In accordance with the Order, APINDE must immediately cease all radiographic operations and return any byproduct material possessed under the license to locked, safe storage. APINDE shall not receive any NRC-licensed material while the Order is in effect. APINDE must respond to the Order within 20 days and specifically admit or deny each allegation or charge.

The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public comment on the document.
Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses Involving Proposed No Significant Hazards Considerations and Containing Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information and Safeguards Information and Order Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information and Safeguards Information
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received and is considering approval of one amendment request. The amendment request is for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1. For the amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that it involves no significant hazards consideration. Because the amendment request contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI) and safeguards information (SGI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI and SGI for contention preparation.
