The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has published its annual report to Congress for fiscal year 2023 on abnormal occurrences involving medical and industrial uses of radioactive material.

Eleven abnormal occurrences were identified, seven of which were medical events, such as misadministration of radioactive material during diagnostic procedures or the treatment of an illness. Three events involved the theft or diversion and recovery of Category 2 radioactive material sources as defined in 10 CFR Part 37. The remaining event involved an unplanned dose to a fetus. No events at commercial nuclear power plants in FY 2023 met the criteria for an abnormal occurrence.

An abnormal occurrence is defined as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The FY 2023 report did not identify any event that met the guidelines for inclusion as other events of interest. The report includes an update to an FY 2022 abnormal occurrence at the Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada in Las Vegas.

The Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences, FY 2023 is available on the NRC website.
