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 July 1 to September 30, 1985. The report states that for this reporting period, there were three abnormal occurrences at the nuclear power plants licensed to operate. These events involved, respectively, (1) management control deficiencies, (2) inoperable steam generator low pressure trip, and (3) management deficiencies at Tennessee Valley Authority. There were four abnormal occurrences at the other NRC licensees. Three of the events involved medical misadministrations - two therapeutic and one diagnostic. The other event involved exposure of radiographic personnel due to management and procedure control deficiencies. There were no abnormal occurrences reported by the Agreement States. The report also contains information updating some previously reported abnormal occurrences.
