$9,000		 07/24/2024 On July 24, 2024, the NRC issued a notice of violation and proposed imposition of civil penalty in the amount of $9,000 to Yale-New Haven Hospital (licensee) for a Severity Level (SL) III problem associated with two related violations. The violations resulted when the licensee (1) transferred radioactive material to an unauthorized recipient contrary to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.2001(a) and (2) disposed of a lead container containing radioactive material and did not first monitor the vial at the surface with no interposed shielding, contrary to 10 CFR 20.2001(a) and 10 CFR 35.92(a)(1), respectively.

$3,000		 04/18/2003 On April 18, 2003, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $3,000 was issued for a Severity Level III problem involving: (1) the transfer of licensed byproduct radioactive material to an entity who was not authorized to receive it, and (2) the submission of inaccurate information to the NRC regarding the transfer of the licensed material. Although the civil penalty would have been fully mitigated based on the normal civil penalty assessment process, a base civil penalty was assessed in accordance with Section VII.A.1.g of the Enforcement Policy to reflect the significance of maintaining the control of licensed material.
