SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act 
of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. 93-438), 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 report describes those events that the NRC identified as 
AOs during FY 2014, based on the criteria defined in this report's 
Appendix A, ``Abnormal Occurrence Criteria and Guidelines for Other 
Events of Interest.''
    The report describes 12 events at Agreement State-licensed 
facilities and one event at an NRC-licensed facility. One Agreement 
State-licensee event involved radiation exposure to an embryo/fetus. 
The NRC-licensee and the other 11 Agreement State-licensee events were 
medical events as defined in part 35 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, and occurred at medical institutions. Agreement States are 
the 37 States that currently have entered into formal agreements with 
the NRC pursuant to Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA) 
(Pub. L. 83-703) to regulate certain quantities of AEA-licensed 
material at facilities located within their borders.
    The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-68) requires that the NRC report AOs to Congress annually. The full 
report, NUREG-0090, Volume 37, ``Report to Congress on Abnormal 
Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2014'' is available electronically at the 
NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/, and in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15140A285.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of June, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Annette Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.
