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 2023 AO report, NUREG-0090, Volume 46, ``Report to
Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2023'' describes those
events that the NRC identified as AOs during FY 2023.
This report describes nine events involving Agreement State
licensees and two events involving NRC licensees. Seven of the AOs
occurred at medical facilities, three AOs involved the theft or
diversion and recovery of Category 2 radioactive material sources, and
the other event involved an overexposure.
The NRC identified no events at NRC-licensed facilities during FY
2023 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 46, ``Report to Congress on Abnormal
Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2023,'' is also available electronically at
the NRC's public website at <a href="https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff">https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff</a>.
Dated: May 1, 2024.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Carrie Safford,
Secretary of the Commission.
