NRC Plans August Decision on International Isotopes Breaches in Cesium Release

摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission aims by the end of August to decide on enforcement measures for apparent license and regulatory violations by International Isotopes that contributed to the release of cesium-137 last year at a hospital facility in Seattle. An NRC official noted the schedule at the end of a teleconference Tuesday that gave the Idaho Falls, Idaho, nuclear medicine company an opportunity to provide information and discuss its perspective on the two potential breaches cited in a June inspection report from the federal agency.
