For example during January 1983, there were 163 telephone notifications to the RC Operatio s Center pursuan to 10 CFR

50. 72. 0 these otifica ionsJ19 reported "U usual Evens" and 1 re m* ed an "Alert. II 1 hough the Corrmission has fou d these notifications to be ust' ul or ide ti ing generic issues, the Unusua E *ent c ass has 0 usually ee
