NRC APPROVES UNIVERSITY 1xbet online sports betting SAFETY STEPS

MANHATTAN -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued one violation in connection with a minor radiation exposure at Kansas State University's nuclear research 1xbet online sports betting , but the agency is waiving its usual fine because of K-State's safe 1xbet online sports betting operating record and proactive response addressing safety procedures.

The NRC's Inspection Report and Notice of Violation follows a Sept. 22 incident at the 1xbet online sports betting in which a senior 1xbet online sports betting operator was exposed to a minor amount of radiation. The exposure did not result in injury or a radiation dose in excess of federal limits. But it was taken seriously by both K-State and the NRC, which conducted a special inspection, said Jeff Geuther, manager of K-State's 1xbet online sports betting facility.

The NRC found one severity level III 1xbet online sports betting in connection with the incident, but the agency has waived its normal penalty of ,500 for such violations. The level III 1xbet online sports betting is the NRC's lowest level of escalated enforcement, Geuther said.

"Because the K-State 1xbet online sports betting has a history of safe operation and because of the thoroughness of our corrective actions to the incident, the NRC's base civil penalty was waived for the violation, and no additional follow-up actions or response to the notice of violation are required," Geuther said.

According to the NRC, the level III 1xbet online sports betting was for failure to develop, document and implement a radiation protection program commensurate with the scope and extent of licensed activities and that was sufficient to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations.

"Essentially the NRC found that our radiation protection program and experimental procedure were not sufficient to prevent the incident from occurring," Geuther said. "We have since taken the necessary steps to correct these deficiencies."

K-State's 1xbet online sports betting was shut down after the incident but has since been restarted. The 1xbet online sports betting , which has been in operation since 1962, supports academic and education programs, research, industrial service and outreach.
