Purpose
The purpose of this predecisional enforcement conference is to discuss two apparent violations identified by the NRC related to the licensee’s failure to properly review and approve operating procedures through their radiation safety committee prior to implementation. These procedures were used by International Isotopes when a significant contamination event occurred at the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, on May 2, 2019. The apparent violations were discussed in NRC Inspection Report 030 35486/2020-001, dated June 22, 2020 (ADAMS Accession ML20170A868).
