U.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2006 U.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-438) defines an ?abnormal occurrence? (AO) as an unscheduled incident or event that the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-66) requires that the NRC must report AOs to Congress annually. This report describes those events that the NRC or an Agreement State identified as AOs during fiscal year (FY) 2006.
