NRC ORDER – ORDER

On March 16, 2020, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (CO) to Reed College, Reed Research Reactor (Reed or licensee) to formalize commitments made as a result of an alternative dispute resolution mediation session held on January 23, 2020. The commitments were made as part of a settlement agreement between Reed and the NRC based on evidence gathered during an investigation in which the NRC had identified multiple apparent violations. The violations involved the licensee’s failure to provide information to the Commission that is complete and accurate in all material respects, in accordance with 10 CFR Section 50.9(a), "Completeness and accuracy of information," and failure to follow Renewed Operating License R-112, License Condition 2.C.(3). In response to the apparent violations, the licensee agreed to complete additional corrective actions and enhancements, as fully discussed in the CO. In consideration of the corrective actions and commitments outlined in the CO, the NRC agreed not to pursue any further enforcement action (including issuance of a civil penalty) relating to the apparent violation.
