Re: US Energy Dep't cites nuclear lab over safety

[David W Lee <lee_david_w@lanl.gov>]

Perhaps I'm just not fully grasping the point Ted deCastro is trying to 
make, below.  I believe that it is still true, however, that in the NRC 
world, unlike the DOE world, if you violate the conditions of your NRC 
license such that the NRC holds an enforcement conference and ultimately 
assesses a fine against you, it does not make any difference if you are a 
"for profit" or "non-profit" organization or even another federal 
organization, e.g., NIH, you must still pay the fine--being "non-profit" 
will not protect you from having to pay fines.
