SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act
of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. 93-438), defines an ``abnormal
occurrence'' as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC
determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or
safety. The FY 2022 AO report, NUREG-0090, Volume 45, ``Report to
Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2022'' (ADAMS Accession
No. ML23158A228), describes those events that the NRC identified as AOs
during FY 2022.
This report describes eight events involving Agreement State
licensees and one event involving an NRC licensee. Seven of the AOs
occurred at medical facilities and the other two events involved
overexposures.
The NRC identified no events at NRC-licensed facilities during FY
2022 that met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix B, ``Other
Events of Interest.''
One event met the guidelines for inclusion in appendix C, ``Updates
of Previously Reported Abnormal Occurrences.''
Agreement States are the 39 U.S. 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 material at facilities located within their
borders.
The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104-68) requires that AOs be reported to Congress annually. The full
report, NUREG-0090, Volume 45, ``Report to Congress on Abnormal
Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2022,'' is also available electronically at
the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff.
