In violation ofparagraph 48(f) ofthe Nuclear Safety and Control Act Relevant Facts I Faits pertinents I, Andre Regimbald, Director General ofthe Directorate ofnuclear Substance Regulation and Designated Officer authorized by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to issue notices ofviolations, believe on reasonable grounds that Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. committed the above violation. The relevant facts are: Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. holds CNSC licence number authorizing the company to possess and use nuclear substances and prescribed equipment (radiation devices) for the purposes ofindustrial radiography. On October 7, 2014 the CNSC conducted an inspection ofindustrial radiography operations conducted by Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. in Melville, Saskatchewan. During the inspection, the CNSC inspector identified non-compliance items related to radiation device maintenance by Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. At the outset ofthe inspection, Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. was given until October 28, 2014 to submit to the CNSC inspector the corrective actions to address the non-compliance items. On October 28, 2014 Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. did not submit corrective actions as requested by the CNSC inspector on October 7, On November 5, November 14 and November 19, 2014, the CNSC inspector contacted the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) and the NDE Manager at Babcock &Wilcox Canada Ltd. to e-docs# Page 1 of/de 6 C3Iiada

2 Canadian Nuclear Commission canadienne Safety Commission de s0ret6 nucl6aire ADMINISTRATIVE MONETARY PENAL TY (AMP) request a status update on the requested corrective actions. No corrective actions had yet been taken or planned. On November 27, 2014 Babcock &Wilcox Canada Ltd.'s RSO provided the CNSC inspector with a written response to the October 7, 2014 inspection report. The response indicated that Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. management was unable to resolve the non-compliance items. On November 28, 2014 the CNSC inspector sent an to Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd.' s RSO expressing concerns that the corrective actions had not been addressed and that the CNSC was requesting a meeting with Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. 's management to discuss urgent resolution ofthis mater. From November 28 to December 10, 2014 the CNSC inspector held several telephone and communications with Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. requesting further information without success. On December 15, 2014 CNSC staff met with representatives ofbabcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. to discuss the non-resolution ofthe October 7, 2014 non-compliance items. CNSC staff provided Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. with the chronology ofrequests and responses as outlined above. Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. was unable to provide a satisfactory response to the CNSC and CNSC staff concluded that little action had been taken by the licensee to address the noncompliance items. On December 15, 2014 the CNSC inspector issued Order #789 requiring Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. to immediately cease using two oftheir radiation devices until the company address the October 7, 2014 non-compliance items to the satisfaction ofthe CNSC. Based on my review ofthis matter and a consideration ofthe 7 factors in section 5 ofthe Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations, the amount ofthe penalty was determined by having regard to the following: 1. Compliance history: A review ofthe licensee's compliance history revealed that Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd.' s overall compliance with CNSC regulatory requirements has been satisfactory. 2. Intention or negligence: Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. has demonstrated negligence in resolving the non-compliance items identified in the October 7, 2014 CNSC inspection. 3. Actual or potential harm: The delays in addressing the non-compliance items identified in the October 7, 2014 inspection did not result in any immediate harm from the radiation devices to either the workers or members ofthe public between the time ofthe initial inspection on October 7, 2014 and the issuance of Order #789 on December 15, Competitive or economic benefit: There does not appear to be any competitive or economic benefit as a result ofthe violation. 5. Efforts to mitigate or reverse effects: The violation did not result in effects requiring mitigation. 6. Assistance to Commission: Based on the documented chronology ofcommunications between Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. and the CNSC inspector, evidence shows that the licensee was dismissive or unresponsive to repeated requests by the inspector for information pertaining to the noncompliance items identified during the October 7, CNSC inspection. e-docs# Page 2 of/de 6 Canada
