Nuclear Regulatory Commission

    In the Matter of Troy Allen Morehead IA-16-025 Confirmatory 
Order

I.

    Mr. Troy Allen Morehead is a radiographer employed by Acuren USA in 
Kenai, Alaska. Acuren USA is the holder of license 50-32443-01 issued 
by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) pursuant 
to title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 30 on 
December 17, 2012.
    This Confirmatory Order is the result of an agreement reached 
between Mr. Morehead and the NRC during an alternative dispute 
resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on June 3, 2016.

II.

    On August 21, 2014, the NRC's Office of Investigations, Region IV 
Field Office, initiated an investigation to determine if radiographers 
assigned to the Acuren USA facility in Kenai, Alaska, willfully 
conducted radiographic operations without maintaining direct visual 
surveillance of the operation and without the proper postings. The 
investigation was completed on August 17, 2015, and was documented in 
NRC Investigation Report 4-2014-043.
    Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, the NRC 
has concluded that a violation of 10 CFR 30.10(a)(1) occurred. 
Specifically, on April 10, 2014, Mr. Morehead caused Acuren USA to be 
in violation of 10 CFR 34.51 and 10 CFR 34.53 by performing industrial 
radiographic operations without conspicuously posting the area with 
radiation area and high radiation area signs, and without maintaining 
continuous direct visual surveillance of the operation to protect 
against unauthorized entry into a high radiation area.
    In a letter dated March 24, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16085A088), 
the NRC notified Mr. Morehead of the results of the investigation, 
informed Mr. Morehead that escalated enforcement action was being 
considered for an apparent violation, and provided Mr. Morehead the 
opportunity to attend a predecisional enforcement conference or to 
participate in an ADR mediation session in an effort to resolve the 
concern. In response to the NRC's offer, Mr. Morehead requested the use 
of the NRC's ADR process to resolve differences Mr. Morehead had with 
the NRC. On June 3, 2016, the NRC and Mr. Morehead met in an ADR 
session mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell 
University's Institute on Conflict Resolution. Alternative dispute 
resolution is a process in which a neutral mediator, with no decision-
making authority, assists the parties in reaching an agreement on 
resolving any differences regarding the dispute. This Confirmatory 
Order is issued pursuant

[[Page 49696]]

to the agreement reached during the ADR process.

III.

    During the ADR session, Mr. Morehead and the NRC reached a 
preliminary settlement agreement. The elements of the agreement 
recognized corrective actions that Mr. Morehead already completed as 
described below and included future agreed upon actions as follows:
    Corrective actions taken by Mr. Morehead included:
    A. Repeated annual refresher training, which included the following 
topics:
    1. Changes to Acuren USA Operating and Emergency Manual.
    2. Changes to Federal and State regulations.
    3. Department of Transportation requirements and regulation 
changes.
    4. Security Awareness and Emergency Planning.
    5. Increased controls and 10 CFR part 37.
    6. Violation and incident review.
    7. Notification procedures.
    8. Radiation surveys and documentation.
    9. Equipment maintenance and documentation.
    10. As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) commitment.
    B. Successfully completed annual refresher training test for items 
described in Section A.
    C. Completed training and review of the following regulatory 
documents:
    1. 10 CFR parts 19, 20, 21, 30, 34, 37, and 71.
    2. New NRC license issued December 17, 2012.
    3. ROEM-2011, Revision 1 (Radiographic Operation Emergency Manual).
    4. NRC Form 3 (Notice to Employees).
    5. Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), 
Radiation Protection.
    6. Blank daily radiation reports.
    7. Blank Trustworthiness and Reliability (T&R) escort log.
    8. Blank exposure device utilization sign out sheet.
    9. Shipper's declaration of dangerous goods.
    D. Completed Radiographic Personnel Training, which included an 
examination and follow-up practical demonstrations of the following:
    1. Use of an exposure device.
    2. Use of personnel monitoring equipment.
    3. Use of radiographic survey meters.
    4. Performance of daily visual inspections.
    5. Demonstration of leak test procedures.
    6. Instructions of field audit examinations.
    E. Successfully completed training and examination of:
    1. ``Golden Rules'' of radiography.
    2. ``Buddy Check'' systems.
    3. Barrier controls.
    F. Completed U.S. Department of Transportation, Hazmat, Emergency 
Planning, and Security Awareness Training.
    G. Subjected to and passed additional Acuren USA field audits.
    The elements of the agreement, as signed by both parties, consist 
of the following:
    A. The NRC and Mr. Morehead agreed that on April 10, 2014, Mr. 
Morehead caused Acuren USA to be in violation of 10 CFR 34.51 and 10 
CFR 34.53 by performing industrial radiographic operations without 
conspicuously posting the area with radiation and high radiation area 
signs and without maintaining continuous direct visual surveillance of 
the operation to protect against unauthorized entry into a high 
radiation area. However, the NRC and Mr. Morehead disagree on the 
deliberate characterization of the violation. More specifically:
    1. It is the NRC's view that the preponderance of the evidence 
supports the proposition that Mr. Morehead deliberately performed 
industrial radiographic operations without conspicuously posting the 
area with radiation and high radiation area signs and without 
maintaining continuous direct visual surveillance of the operation to 
protect against unauthorized entry into a high radiation area.
    2. However, Mr. Morehead disagrees with the deliberate 
characterization of the violation.
    B. Within 12 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory Order, 
if supported by Mr. Morehead's employer (currently Acuren USA), Mr. 
Morehead will provide training to Acuren USA radiographers and 
radiographer's assistants.
    1. Within 30 days before providing the training, Mr. Morehead will 
submit the training agenda, materials, or content to the Director, 
Division of Nuclear Materials Safety (DNMS), Region IV.
    2. The training (e.g., peer-to-peer, teleconference, etc.) will 
convey personal lessons learned from the associated issue.
    C. Within 18 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory Order, 
Mr. Morehead will meet with and observe (i.e., ``shadow'') a radiation 
safety officer as the radiation safety officer performs observations of 
the performance of radiography crews as described in Section 
34.43(e)(1) of 10 CFR part 34.
    1. Mr. Morehead will perform the field observations of at least 
four radiographic operations.
    2. The observations will be conducted, to the extent possible, 
without the crew's knowledge.
    3. The observations will be conducted at temporary job sites (i.e., 
``in the field'').
    4. Mr. Morehead will notify the Director, DNMS, Region IV, prior to 
the observations. This notification will be made by telephone at 817-
200-1106 or email.
    5. Within 1 month of the completion of each observation, Mr. 
Morehead will provide written documentation to the NRC of the date that 
the observation occurred and the details of the observation 
(compliances and noncompliances observed, etc.). The information will 
be sent to the Director, DNMS, 1600 East Lamar Blvd., Arlington, Texas 
76011-4511.
    D. Within 18 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory Order, 
Mr. Morehead will submit an article to an industry publication or to a 
certifying entity (as defined in 10 CFR 34.3) for publication.
    1. The article will convey personal lessons learned from the 
associated issue and may be co-written with the other radiographer 
involved with this case.
    2. Mr. Morehead will provide the article to the Director, DNMS, 
Region IV, 30 days prior to the submission of the article.
    3. Mr. Morehead will provide to the Director, DNMS, Region IV, 
demonstration of at least two attempts to publish the article, if 
publication of the article was not possible.
    E. Administrative items.
    1. The NRC and Mr. Morehead agree that the above elements will be 
incorporated into a Confirmatory Order.
    2. The NRC will consider the order an escalated enforcement action 
with respect to any future enforcement actions.
    3. In consideration of the commitments delineated above, the NRC 
will refrain from issuing a Notice of Violation to Mr. Morehead for the 
violation discussed in NRC Investigation Report 4-2014-043 and NRC 
Inspection Report 030-38596/2014-001 dated March 24, 2016 (IA-16-025).
    On July 8, 2016, Mr. Morehead consented to issuing this 
Confirmatory Order with the commitments, as described in Section V 
below. Mr. Morehead further agreed that this Confirmatory Order will be 
effective

[[Page 49697]]

upon issuance, the agreement memorialized in this Confirmatory Order 
settles the matter between the parties, and that Mr. Morehead has 
waived his right to a hearing.

IV.

    I find that Mr. Morehead's commitments as set forth in Section V 
are acceptable and necessary, and conclude that with these commitments 
the public health and safety are reasonably assured. In view of the 
foregoing, I have determined that public health and safety require that 
Mr. Morehead's commitments be confirmed by this Confirmatory Order. 
Based on the above and Mr. Morehead's consent, this Confirmatory Order 
is effective upon issuance.

VI.

    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR 2.309, any person 
adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order, other than Mr. Morehead, 
may request a hearing within 30 days of the issuance date of this 
Confirmatory Order. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be 
given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for 
extension of time must be directed to the Director, Office of 
Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, 
and include a statement of good cause for the extension.
    All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a 
request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion or 
other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a 
request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by 
interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), 
must be filed in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139, 
August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562, August 3, 2012), which is 
codified in pertinent part at 10 CFR part 2, subpart C. The E-Filing 
process requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory 
documents over the internet, or in some cases to mail copies on 
electronic storage media. Participants may not submit paper copies of 
their filings unless they seek an exemption in accordance with the 
procedures described below.
    To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 
ten (10) days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should 
contact the Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], 
or by telephone at (301) 415-1677, to (1) request a digital 
identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or its 
counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the 
E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and 
(2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a 
request or petition for hearing (even in instances in which the 
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the 
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this 
proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic 
docket.
    Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is 
available on NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. System requirements for accessing the 
E-Submittal server are detailed in NRC's ``Guidance for Electronic 
Submission,'' which is available on the agency's public Web site at 
http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants may 
attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should 
note that the NRC's E-Filing system does not support unlisted software, 
and the NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk will not be able to offer 
assistance in using unlisted software.
    If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC 
in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the 
document using the NRC's online, Web-based submission form. In order to 
serve documents through the Electronic Information Exchange System 
(EIE), users will be required to install a Web browser plug-in from the 
NRC Web site. Further information on the Web-based submission form, 
including the installation of the Web browser plug-in, is available on 
the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
    Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a 
docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions

[[Page 49698]]

should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC 
guidance available on the NRC public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the 
time the documents are submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To 
be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 
system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon 
receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document 
and sends the submitter an email notice confirming receipt of the 
document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email notice that 
provides access to the document to the NRC's Office of the General 
Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary 
that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need 
not serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, 
applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) 
must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing 
request/petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access 
to the document via the E-Filing system.
    A person filing electronically using the agency's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Electronic 
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by email 
at [email protected], or by a toll-free call to (866) 672-7640. The 
NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
    Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not 
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in 
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper 
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail 
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: 
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or 
expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth 
Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 
Maryland, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 
Participants filing a document in this manner are responsible for 
serving the document on all other participants. Filing is considered 
complete by first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 
by courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing 
the document with the provider of the service. A presiding officer, 
having granted an exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a 
participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer 
subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from 
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
    Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in 
NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is available to the public at 
http://ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the 
Commission or the presiding officer. Participants are requested not to 
include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, 
home addresses, or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC 
regulation or other law requires submission of such information. With 
respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve 
the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use 
application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted 
materials in their submission.
    If a person other than Mr. Morehead requests a hearing, that person 
shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest is 
adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order and shall address the 
criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and (f).
    If a hearing is requested by a person whose interest is adversely 
affected, the Commission will issue an Order designating the time and 
place of any hearing. If a hearing is held, the issue to be considered 
at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory Order should be 
sustained.
    In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of 
an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the provisions 
specified in Section V above shall be final 30 days from the date of 
issuance without further order or proceedings. If an extension of time 
for requesting a hearing has been approved, the provisions specified in 
Section V shall be final when the extension expires if a hearing 
request has not been received.
