OSTI ID:5535130

Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 identifies an abnormal occurrence as an unscheduled incident or event which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety and requires a quarterly report of such events to be made to Congress. This report covers the period from April 1 to June 30, 1987. The report states that for this reporting period, there were no abnormal occurrences at the nuclear power plants licensed to operate. There were five abnormal occurrences at the other NRC licensees. Three involved medical misadministrations (two diagnostic and one therapeutic); one involved the issuance of an NRC Order to remove a hospital's radiation safety officer due to falsification of certain records; and one involved a significant breakdown in management and procedural controls at an industrial radiography licensee. There was one abnormal occurrence reported by an Agreement State (Idaho). The item involved radiographer overexposures. The report also contains information updating some previously reported abnormal occurrences.
