a. Electronically in NMED using upload function.
b. Email an attached file to NMED@inl.gov.
c. Mail b.Written reports are submitted to or entered into NMED. An NMED Report and a written report are the same.

HOC NMED

  • The HOC adds events into their Event Notification (EN) database.
  • Events reviewed by NMSS and Regional State Agreement Officers
  • An NMED record is created by the NMED contractor.
  • NMED does not transmit information to the HOC.

Allegations If the Agreement State receives an allegation that also meets the reporting requirements, the Agreement State should not report it. The timeliness clock for event reporting does not start. The Agreement State should assess the concern in their allegation program.

Congressional Inquiry The NRC has the lead on responding inquiries from the U.S. Congress pertaining to events or other occurrences covered in the Handbook.

  • RSAO will contact you to obtain an answer
  • If the congressional inquiry is in depth, NRC issues a letter to the Agreement State and includes a due date.

NRC Review of Events

  • Assess against the IAEA International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) to participate in international reporting.
  • Perform operating experience assessments and evaluate for generic applicability, including generic issues, to ensure that any safety significant issues are shared with the National Materials Program.

Agreement State Assessments

  • Operating experience assessment and trending study
  • Not required
  • NRC can facilitate distribution
