June 5, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
Dear Madam Speaker:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am forwarding the enclosed Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2019. This submission is in accordance with Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended (Public Law 93-438), and the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-66) that require the NRC to identify and report abnormal occurrences (AOs) to Congress annually. An AO is an unscheduled incident or event that the Commission determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety.
The enclosed AO report for fiscal year 2019 describes nine events involving Agreement State licensees. Seven AOs were medical events, as defined in NRC regulations; one AO was a human exposure event; and one AO involved the theft and recovery of three industrial radiography cameras containing Category 2 quantities of radioactive material.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at 301-415-1776.
Sincerely, Kristine L. Svinicki
Enclosure:
As stated Kristine L.
