NRC Proposes $9,000 Civil Penalty Against Missouri-based Healthcare Provider
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $9,000 civil penalty against Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri, for violations associated with maintaining proper control of NRC-regulated material.
The NRC identified two violations of NRC requirements involving failures related to preventing unauthorized removal of nuclear material and performing required surveys. The violations were documented in a November 2024 inspection report.
There was no impact on public health as a result of these violations.
The NRC issued the enforcement action after reviewing the circumstances surrounding the proposed violations, considering the information presented by the university in a letter, and taking into account corrective actions the university has or plans to take to comply with NRC regulations.
The university has 30 days to pay the fine, dispute it, or request involvement from a neutral third party.
