NAC459.885. Suspension or revocation of license.

     1. If any licensee ships radioactive waste to the state-owned disposal area in violation of NAC 459.910, the Division may suspend his or her license for up to 1 year:

     (a) After giving the licensee prior notice; and

     (b) After a representative of the Division has conducted an inspection of the licensee’s radioactive waste at the disposal area or an authorized inspector has conducted an inspection at the site of the licensee’s program for packaging the radioactive waste.

     2. During the period of such a suspension, all radioactive waste packaged for shipment by the licensee must be inspected by an authorized inspector before shipment of the waste to the state-owned disposal area. If the licensee violates any provision of NAC 459.910 while his or her license is suspended, an additional period of suspension may be added to the existing period of suspension for each such violation.

     3. The Division may, without giving prior notice to the licensee and as an emergency measure, suspend his or her license for a violation of NAC 459.850 to 459.950, inclusive, if it is determined by an inspection that the violation created or may have created a potential hazard to public health or safety.

     4. During a period of suspension, the licensee shall attach to the shipping document which accompanies each shipment to the state-owned disposal area, an inspection report showing that an inspection of the shipment has been completed by an authorized inspector.

     5. The Division may suspend or revoke a license if the licensee fails to pay a required fee within 30 days after the date of billing.
