NRC Identifies Eight Abnormal Occurrence Events in FY 2021 Annual Report to Congress
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has published its annual report to Congress for fiscal year 2021 regarding Abnormal Occurrences involving medical and industrial uses of radioactive material.
Eight Abnormal Occurrences were identified. Six of these events were medical events, such as misadministration of radioactive material in diagnosis or treatment of an illness. This represents approximately 0.005 percent of the estimated number of nuclear medicine and radiation therapy procedures involving radioactive material performed in the United States annually. Two events – one at a medical facility and another at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland, – involved serious safety-significant deficiencies in management or procedural controls. No events at commercial nuclear power plants in fiscal year 2021 met the criteria for an Abnormal Occurrence declaration.
U.S. law defines an Abnormal Occurrence as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The NRC sets specific criteria for determining which events qualify. The FY 2021 report identified no “Other Events of Interest” as defined in the Abnormal Occurrences criteria.
The Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences, Fiscal Year 2021, is available on the NRC website as NUREG-0090, Volume 44.

NRC Amends Licensing, Inspection, and Annual Fees for Fiscal Year 2022
Nuclear Regulatory Commission - News Release

NRC Amends Licensing, Inspection, and Annual Fees for Fiscal Year 2022
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations for the licensing, inspection, special projects, and annual fees it will charge applicants and licensees for fiscal year 2022.
The FY 2022 final fee rule, published today in the Federal Register, includes fees required by the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act necessary to recover, to the maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of the NRC’s total budget authority for FY 2022, less the budget authority for excluded activities. A proposed fee rule was published for public comment on Feb. 23.
The FY 2022 final fee rule reflects a total budget authority of $887.7 million, an increase of $43.3 million from FY 2021. After accounting for exclusions from the fee-recovery requirement and net billing adjustments, the NRC must recover approximately $752.7 million in fees in FY 2022. Of this amount, approximately $198.8 million will be recovered through fees for services (Part 170), and approximately $553.9 million will be recovered through annual fees (Part 171).
Compared to FY 2021, annual fees are decreasing for fuel facilities, spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning activities, and for a uranium recovery facility licensee. Annual fees are increasing for operating power reactors, non-power production or utilization facilities, the U.S. Department of Energy Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act Program, DOE transportation activities, and for 47 materials users fee categories. While the operating power reactors annual fee is increasing in FY 2022, it does not exceed the annual fee cap established by NEIMA. Generally, annual fees are impacted by changes to the budget, fees for services, the number of licensees, and other factors.
The final fee rule also includes a change in the hourly rate charged for services, affecting licensees and applicants. The NRC has increased its hourly rate from $288 to $290 for FY 2022 and has adjusted license application fees accordingly.
The NRC estimates that the FY 2022 annual fees will be paid by the 93 licensees of operating commercial power reactors, three non-power production or utilization facilities, 122 spent nuclear fuel storage and decommissioning reactor facilities, eight fuel cycle facilities, one uranium recovery facility, and approximately 2,500 nuclear materials licensees.

OFFSITE AGENCY NOTIFICATION DUE TO CHEMICAL LEAK
The following information was provided by the licensee via fax or email:
"At 1547 EDT on June 21, 2022, it was determined that Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 1 experienced a reportable chemical leak. Approximately 261 gallons of a Sodium Hypochlorite/Sodium Bromine mixture reached the ground and approximately 130.5 gallons (of the 261 gallons) progressed to the Ohio River (via storm drain). The source of the leakage has been isolated and absorbent material has been placed to contain the leakage. Following confirmation of this leakage, notifications were made to the following offsite agencies starting at 1615 EDT:
"National Response Center (Incident Report # 1339391)
"Pennsylvania Department Of Environmental Protection
"Beaver County Emergency Management
"This condition is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi). There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
