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, 1982. The report states that for this period there were two abnormal occurrences; one at the nuclear power plants licensed to operate and one at other NRC licensees. The first involved loss of auxiliary electrical power and the second involved rupture of at least one americium-241 well logging source. The Agreement States reported no abnormal occurrences to the NRC. The report also contains information updating some previously reported abnormal occurrences.
