Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences Fiscal Year 2024

Excerpt:  “This report on AOs for fiscal year (FY) 2024 describes seven events involving Agreement State licensees and one event involving an NRC licensee. These events were identified based on the criteria in the NRC policy statement ‘Abnormal Occurrence Reports’ (82 FR 45907; October 2, 2017). Seven AOs were medical events as defined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 35, ‘Medical Use of Byproduct Material.’ The other AO involved two criteria: (1) a substantial breakdown of physical security, cybersecurity, or material control and accountability programs that significantly weakens protection against loss, theft, diversion, or sabotage, and (2) a serious safety–-significant deficiency in management or procedural controls. No events at commercial nuclear power plants met the criteria for an AO.”
