SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act
of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. 93-438), defines an ``abnormal
occurrence'' (AO) as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC
determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or
safety. The report describes those events that the NRC identified as
AOs during FY 2015, based on the criteria defined in Appendix A of the
report, ``Abnormal Occurrence Criteria and Guidelines for Other Events
of Interest.''
The report describes 15 events at Agreement State-licensed
facilities and two events at NRC-licensed facilities. One NRC-licensee
event occurred in a medical facility and involved radiation exposure to
an embryo/fetus. The 15 Agreement State-licensee events and the other
NRC-licensee event were medical events as defined in part 35 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, ``Medical Use of Byproduct
Material.'' Agreement States are the 37 States that currently have
entered into formal agreements with the NRC pursuant to Section 274 of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to regulate certain
quantities of AEA-licensed
[[Page 36357]]
material at facilities located within their borders.
The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Public Law
104-68) requires that the NRC report AOs to Congress annually. The full
report, NUREG-0090, Volume 38, ``Report to Congress on Abnormal
Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2015,'' is available electronically at the
NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/, and in ADAMS under Accession No. ML16145A026.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of May, 2016.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Richard J. Laufer,
Acting, Secretary of the Commission.
