Dear Mr. President:
U We submit herewith the twentieth report on abnormal occurrences at licensed nuclear facilities, as required by Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (PL 93-438), for the first calendar quar',er.
of 1980.
In the context of the Act, an abnomal occurrence is an unscheduled incident or event which the Commission determines is significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. These incidents or events, including any submitted by the Agreement States, are as follows:
1.
There were two abnonnal occurrences at the nuclear power plants j
licensed to operate. One involved exposures to beta radiation in excess of regulatory limits. The other incident (a generic concern) involved a transient initiated by partial loss of power.
2.
There was one abnormal occurrence at the fuel cycle facilities (other than nuclear power plants). The incident involved a loss of confinement system which resulted in inhalation of plutonium by an employee.
3.
There was one abnormal occurrence at other licensee facilities.
The' incident involved overexposure to individuals in unrestricted areas.
4.
There were no abnormal occurrences reported by the Agreement States.
This report also contains infonnation updating some previously reported abnormal occurrences, including the accident at Three Mile Island.
In addition to this report, we will continue to disseminate information on reportable events. These event reports are routinely distributed on a timely basis to the Congress, industry, and the general public.
