SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended
(Public Law 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 AO report (ADAMS
Accession No. ML17125A084) describes those events that the NRC
identified as AOs during FY 2016, based on the criteria defined in
Appendix A of the report.
The report describes eight events at Agreement State-licensed
facilities and three events at an NRC-licensed facilities. One
Agreement State licensee event involved radiation exposure to an
embryo/fetus, and one involved radiography operations. One event
reported by an NRC licensee occurred at a fuel cycle facility. The
remaining two reported NRC-licensee events and the six reported
Agreement State licensee events occurred at medical facilities and are
``medical events'' as defined in part 35 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
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) (Pub. L. 83-703), 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 the NRC report AOs to Congress annually. The full
report, NUREG-0090, Volume 39, ``Report to Congress on Abnormal
Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2016,'' is also available electronically on
the NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/.
