Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Notice of Hearing

April 30, 2003.
    Before Administrative Judges: Thomas S. Moore, Chairman, Dr. 
Charles N. Kelber, Dr. Peter S. Lam. In the Matter of Advanced 
Medical Imaging and Nuclear Services (Easton, Pennsylvania); Order 
Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty.

    This proceeding involves a proposed civil penalty of $43,200 sought 
to be imposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Advanced Medical 
Imaging and Nuclear Services (Licensee), for alleged violations of 
provisions of its license and the Commission's regulations. In response 
to an Order Imposing a Civil Monetary Penalty, dated February 19, 2003 
and published at 68 FR 10049 (Mar. 3, 2003), the Licensee on March 24, 
2003 filed a timely request for an enforcement hearing. Thereafter, on 
April 8, 2003, this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established 
to preside over the hearing. See 68 FR 17969 (Apr. 14, 2003).
    Notice is hereby given that by Order dated April 30, 2003, the 
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has granted the request for a hearing 
submitted by the Licensee. This proceeding will be conducted under the 
Commission's hearing procedures set forth in 10 CFR part 2, subparts B 
and G. Parties to the proceeding are Advanced Medical Imaging and 
Nuclear Services and the NRC Staff. The issues to be considered, as set 
forth in the Order Imposing a Civil Monetary Penalty, are (a) whether 
the Licensee was in violation of the Commission's requirements as set 
forth in violations B and C of the written notice of violation and 
proposed imposition of civil penalty served upon the Licensee by letter 
dated October 22, 2002; and (b) whether, on the basis of such 
violations, and the additional violations set forth in the notice of 
violation that the Licensee admitted, the Order Imposing a Civil 
Monetary Penalty should be sustained.
    Except to the extent an early settlement or other circumstance 
renders them unnecessary, the Licensing Board may, during the course of 
this proceeding, conduct one or more prehearing conferences and 
evidentiary hearing sessions. The time and place of these sessions will 
be announced in Licensing Board Orders.

    For the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.

    Dated in Rockville, Maryland, on April 30, 2003.
Thomas S. Moore,
Administrative Judge.
