NRC Order Imposing $36,000 Civil Monetary Penalty on Metro Cardiovascular Diagnostics
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a formal Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty against Metro Cardiovascular Diagnostics, a licensed nuclear materials user in the medical diagnostics field. The order enforces a $36,000 civil penalty that was originally proposed in a Notice of Violation issued on July 28, 2025, following identified regulatory violations by the licensee. The licensee failed to respond to the original Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty, and also failed to pay the assessed penalty. Despite multiple follow-up contact attempts by NRC staff, Metro Cardiovascular Diagnostics provided no response whatsoever, leaving the agency no choice but to formalize the penalty through this binding Order. The NRC has confirmed that the violations described in the July 2025 Notice did occur and that the $36,000 penalty amount remains appropriate. This Order is effective immediately upon issuance, meaning the civil penalty is now legally enforceable without further notice or grace period.
