Neutron Products Corp. news
Interestingly, the state of Maryland determines that the
company does not have adequate resources to shutdown so they issue an
order to shutdown. Curious.
The regulatory requirement to demonstrate this financial reserve was
added long after many companies were licensed. It appears that the
inability to comply creates the no-win situation of putting a presumably
viable company into eventual receivership, and hence probably into the
lap of the state. [note that there is a long regulatory history here
which opens the possibility of other motives for this action.]
Question: Is anyone aware of any difficulties with other companies
when NRC created this financial requirement.
