Description

On September 1, 2022, the NRC issued a notice of violation (Notice) and proposed imposition of civil penalty in the amount of $8,000 to Indiana University-IUPUI/IU Medical Center Campus (licensee) for a Severity Level III violation. The violation associated with the civil penalty involved the licensee’s failure to monitor exposure to radiation and radioactive material at levels sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the occupational dose limits of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 20, as required by 10 CFR 20.1502(a)(1). In addition, the Notice included a Severity Level III problem associated with three related violations. The violations comprising the problem involved the following licensee failures: (1) control occupational dose to individual adults to an annual limit of 5 rem total effective dose equivalent, as required by 10 CFR 20.1201(a)(1)(i); (2) implement a radiation protection program commensurate with the scope and extent of licensed activities sufficient to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 20, as required by 10 CFR 20.1101(a); and (3) provide instruction to individuals who in the course of employment were likely to receive in a year an occupational dose in excess of 100 mrem, as required by 10 CFR 19.12(a)(3).
