  2. Major Program Changes in 2007 • Improvements to Inspection Report issuance timeliness • Completion of all inspection procedures at each facility each cycle (2 inspections per cycle) • Inspections now conducted within the primary interval (12 or 24 months) without reliance on 25 percent grace period

  3. Performance Measures • Inspection reports issued within 30 days = 98.3% • Inspection reports issued within 45 days = 100% • Class 1 Inspection cycles completed within 12 months = 100% • Class 2 Inspection cycles completed within 24 months = 100%

  4. Major Issues in 2007 • 5 Level IV Violations • 6 Non-Cited Violations

  5. Shipping Labeling Violation (1) • Contrary to the regulations, the licensee made a shipment of radioactive material without properly affixing the markings to the package. • During transit the markings and labeling apparently came off. • As a result, the cask was being transported without being properly marked and labeled.
