NRC ORDER – ORDER

On June 13, 2024, the NRC issued a confirmatory order (CO) to Curium US LLC (Curium) memorializing commitments reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session held on March 5 – 6, 2024. The ADR session was associated with ten apparent violations involving an incident where a medical isotope shipping cask was released from a hot cell, with a highly contaminated component inside, that resulted in a site-wide contamination event. Curium agreed to complete wide-ranging corrective actions to their programs and procedures. As a result of the CO, the NRC will not cite the apparent violations and will not issue an associated civil penalty.
