Viktoria Mitlyng, 630-829-9662 Prema Chandrathil, 630-829-9663 NRC Proposes $7,250 Civil Penalty to Michigan VHS Harper-Hutzel Hospital The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $7,250 fine to VHS Harper-Hutzel Hospital, Inc., for violations of the agencys security requirements.

NRC inspectors identified apparent security violations at the companys facility in Detroit during a routine inspection in March of this year. The NRC determined that the problem constitutes a Severity Level III violation. The details of the violations are not publicly available due to their security-related nature.

NRC inspectors verified before leaving the facility that the company has taken immediate steps to address the issue. The NRC will conduct a follow-up inspection to verify independently that additional actions proposed by the company to address the reasons for the violations are sufficient to prevent recurrence.

The NRCs letter to the company will be available on the NRC website under accession number ML18250A214.
