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 October 1 to December 31, 1988. For this reporting period, there were no abnormal occurrences at nuclear power plants licensed to operate. There was one abnormal occurrence under other NRC-issued licenses involving a medical therapy misadministration. Three other abnormal occurrences were reported by Agreement States. The State of New York reported an event involving multiple medical therapy misadministrations. The State of Maryland reported two events, both occurring at the same hospital. One involved a single medical therapy misadministration and the second involved multiple medical therapy misadministrations. The report also contains information updating some previously reported abnormal occurrences. 3 refs.
