Additionally, the licensee agreed to complete wide-ranging corrective actions and enhancements that are expected to improve the safety program, as fully described in the CO. In consideration of the corrective actions and commitments outlined in the CO, the NRC agrees to (1) refrain from
proposing a civil penalty, (2) not issue a separate notice of violation in addition to the CO but, rather, describe the violations in the body of the order and (3) not consider the CO an escalated enforcement action for future assessment of violations occurring at the VA.

08/23/2010 On August 23, 2010, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation (Notice) and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $39,000 to the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) for two Severity Level III violations involving: (1) the failure to implement 10 CFR 35.41(a)(2) and 10 CFR 35.41(b)(2) requirements for verifying medical treatments, and (2) the failure to implement 10 CFR 35.3045(c) requirements to report a medical event.

Specifically, for the first set of violations assessed a civil penalty, several facilities are identified and involve multiple examples of the licensee's failure to verify that the administration of permanent prostate brachytherapy implants was in accordance with the written directives: (i) the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System in Reno, Nevada, between September 29, 2005 and October 12, 2008; (ii) the G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, between May 2007 and February 2008; and, (iii) the VA Boston Healthcare System in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27, 2005. Further, the Notice identifies that the second violation assessed a civil penalty occurred on October 10, 2008, at the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System in Brooklyn, New York, where the licensee failed to make a timely medical event report regarding a permanent prostate brachytherapy implant when the data available at the time indicated otherwise, with the actual treatment dose less than 69 percent of the prescribed dose.

06/02/2010 On June 2, 2010, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $14,000 to the Department of Veterans Affairs for two Severity Level III violations identified as a result of a medical event that occurred at the San Diego Healthcare System facility. The medical event resulted when iodine-131 was injected into the wrong port of the gastrostomy feeding tube (g-tube) resulting in an underdose to the patient's thyroid and an unintended dose to the patient's stomach. Specifically, the licensee's written procedures did not include directions for administering byproduct material through a g-tube to ensure that the administered dose was in accordance with the written directive as required by 10 CFR 35.41(a)(2). Additionally, two nuclear medicine technologists had not been instructed on administering byproduct material through a g-tube prior to performing the administration in order to ensure that the administered dose was in accordance with the written directive. The second Severity Level III violation involved the licensee's failure to notify the NRC Operations Center no later than the next calendar day after discovery of a medical event as required by 10 CFR 35.3045(c). Specifically, on September 23, 2009, the licensee had sufficient information, based on patient survey data and the image from the nuclear medicine department, to report the medical event and did not notify the NRC until September 26, 2009.
