UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION Ill Constance Courtois, M.D. Radiation Safety Officer Progress West Healthcare Center 2 Progress Point Parkway O'Fallon, MO 63368
Dear Dr. Courtois:
2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 JUL* 8*1 2018 Enclosed is Amendment No. 7 to your U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Material License No. 24-32642-01 for Progress West Healthcare Center in accordance with your request dated May 2, 2018. Please review the enclosed document carefully and be sure that you understand all conditions.
If there are any errors or questions, please notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region Ill office at (630) 829-9887 so that we may provide appropriate corrections and answers. In your letter dated May 30, 2018, you provided the history of use and close-out survey and wipe test results for your former Nuclear Medicine Department.
You also confirmed that all residual licensed material used at this area of use had been removed -such that any remaining residual radioactivity is within the limits of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 20, Subpart E. Based on its review of close-out survey information, the staff has concluded that all licensable radioactive material has been removed from the area of use and residual radioactive material attributable to licensed activities in this area of use does not exceed current NRC criteria.
Based on these conclusions no further remediation or actions with respect to NRC regulated material is required and your former Nuclear Medicine Department is suitable for unrestricted use. You will be periodically inspected by NRC. Failure to conduct your program in accordance with NRC regulations, license conditions, and representations made in your license application and supplemental correspondence with NRC will result in enforcement action against you. The NRC
- may issue a notice of violation, imposition of a civil penalty, or an order suspending, modifying or revoking your license as specified in the General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions. Since serious consequences to employees and the public can result from failure to comply with NRC requirements, prompt and vigorous enforcement action will be taken when dealing with licensees who do not achieve the necessary meticulous attention to detail and the high standard of compliance which NRC expects of its licensees.
C. Courtois The NRC's Safety Culture Policy Statement became effective in June 2011. While a policy statement and not a regulation, it sets forth the agency's expectations for individuals and organizations to establish and maintain a positive safety culture. You can access the policy statement and supporting material that may benefit your organization on NRC's safety culture Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement/safety-culture.html.
We strongly encourage you to review this material and adapt it to your particular needs in order to develop and maintain a positive safety culture as you engage in NRG-regulated activities.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
