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 2024 AO report, NUREG-0090, Volume 47, “Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2024,” describes those events that the NRC identified as AOs during FY 2024.

This report describes seven events involving Agreement State licensees and one event involving an NRC licensee. Seven of the AOs occurred at medical facilities, and one event involved security processes at an industrial licensee.

The NRC identified no events at NRC-licensed facilities during FY 2024 that met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix B, “Other Events of Interest.”

Two events 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 47, “Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2024,” is also available electronically at the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff.
