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 FY 2020 AO report, NUREG–0090, Volume 43, ‘‘Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2020’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML21152A287), describes those events that the NRC identified as AOs during FY 2020. This report describes seven events in Agreement States and two events involving NRC licensees that were identified as AOs during FY2020. Eight AOs were medical events as defined in part 35 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, ‘‘Medical Use of Byproduct Material.’’ There was one AO that was a human exposure event. The NRC did not identify any events at commercial nuclear power plants as AOs. The NRC identified four events during FY 2020 that met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix B, ‘‘Other Events of Interest.’’ The first of these events was a human exposure event with possible internal contamination. The second event involved a gauge failure that resulted in unintended exposure to seven individuals, three of whom were classified as radiation workers who received occupational radiation exposure below regulatory limits. The third event was a stuck source event that resulted in an exposure above the regulatory annual limit to an individual involved in recovering the source. The fourth event concerned an extended loss of offsite power event at a commercial nuclear power plant. No events met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix C, ‘‘Updates of Previously Reported Abnormal Occurrences.’’ Agreement States are the 39 U.S. States that currently have entered into formal agreements with the NRC pursuant to Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to regulate certain quantities of AEAlicensed material at facilities located within their borders. The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–68) requires that AOs be reported to Congress annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The DTRA is a combat support agency and a defense agency with a mission to counter the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction, including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives; counter the threats posed by the growing and evolving categories of improvised threats, including improvised explosive devices, car bombs and weaponized consumer drones, as well as the tactics, technologies and networks that put them on the battlefield; and to ensure that the U.S. military maintains a safe, secure, effective and credible nuclear weapons deterrent. II. Discussion Pursuant to Section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of new license SNM–7005 to DTRA, which authorizes DTRA to possess and use SNM for education, research, and training programs at its location in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The original application for a license was submitted on August 21, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20254A189). DTRA subsequently supplemented and revised its application in response to a request for additional information (ADAMS Accession No. ML21057A037) on February 26, 2021. Because the licensed material will be used for research and development purposes, issuance of License SNM–7005 is an action that is categorically excluded from a requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v). The NRC previously published notice of DTRA’s request for a materials license with a notice of opportunity to request a hearing in the Federal Register on October 28, 2020 (85 FR 68374). The NRC did not receive a request for a hearing or for a petition for leave to intervene. This license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s rules and regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. Accordingly, this license was issued on May 20, 2021, and was effective immediately. The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report for the issuance of License SNM– 7005 and concluded that the licensee can operate the facility without endangering the health and safety of the public. III. Availability of Documents In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ the details with respect to this action, including the safety evaluation report and accompanying documentation and license, are available electronically at the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ adams.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The DTRA is a combat support agency and a defense agency with a 
mission to counter the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction, 
including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield 
explosives; counter the threats posed by the growing and evolving 
categories of improvised threats, including improvised explosive 
devices, car bombs and weaponized consumer drones, as well as the 
tactics, technologies and networks that put them on the battlefield; 
and to ensure that the U.S. military maintains a safe, secure, 
effective and credible nuclear weapons deterrent.

II. Discussion

    Pursuant to Section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of 
new license SNM-7005 to DTRA, which authorizes DTRA to possess and use 
SNM for education, research, and training programs at its location in 
Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The original application for a license was 
submitted on August 21, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20254A189). DTRA 
subsequently supplemented and revised its application in response to a 
request for additional information (ADAMS Accession No. ML21057A037) on 
February 26, 2021. Because the licensed material will be used for 
research and development purposes, issuance of License SNM-7005 is an 
action that is categorically excluded from a requirement to prepare an 
environmental assessment or environmental impact statement, pursuant to 
10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v).
    The NRC previously published notice of DTRA's request for a 
materials license with a notice of opportunity to request a hearing in 
the Federal Register on October 28, 2020 (85 FR 68374). The NRC did not 
receive a request for a hearing or for a petition for leave to 
intervene. This license complies with the standards and requirements of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's rules and 
regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. Accordingly, this license 
was issued on May 20, 2021, and was effective immediately.
    The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report for the issuance of 
License SNM-7005 and concluded that the licensee can operate the 
facility without endangering the health and safety of the public.

III. Availability of Documents

    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,'' 
the details with respect to this action, including the safety 
evaluation report and accompanying documentation and license, are 
available electronically at the NRC's Electronic Reading Room at 
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, you can 
access ADAMS, which provides text and image files of the NRC's public 
documents. For further details related to this action, visit https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2020-0232.
