Description
On September 21, 2023, the NRC issued a confirmatory order (CO) to American Centrifuge Operating, LLC (licensee) confirming commitments reached as part of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation settlement agreement between the licensee and the NRC. The ADR mediation and subsequent CO were based on the results of an inspection at the licensee’s facility in which the NRC identified apparent violations. In consideration of the licensee commitments outlined in the CO, the NRC agreed to not pursue any further enforcement action based on the apparent violations and the CO will not count as escalated enforcement in the civil penalty assessment process for future enforcement cases involving the licensee . Details regarding the apparent violations and corrective actions contain security-related information and are therefore documented in a non-public version of the Confirmatory Order.
