B. Penalties under Part 820
1. Civil penalties
DOE may assess civil penalties against any
person subject to Part 820, for violations of:
Codified rules in the CFR
Compliance orders
Any program or plan required by a rule or
compliance order
Note: Certain nonprofit educational
institutions and other listed institutions are
exempt from assessment of civil penalties.
2. Criminal penalties
If a person subject to the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, or Nuclear Safety
Requirements, has by action or omission
knowingly and willfully violated, caused to be
violated, attempted to violate, or conspired to
violate any section of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, or applicable DOE
Nuclear Safety Requirements, the person
shall be subject to criminal sanctions.
3. The "carrot and stick" approach
DOE may provide monetary incentives in its
management and operating (M&O) contracts
for actions consistent with or exceeding
requirements, and to penalize actions and
activities that were not in compliance with
requirements.
Noncompliance with the Radiation Protection
Program can subject a contractor to PAAA
enforcement. There are provisions to
mitigate penalties for self identifying and
reporting violations.
