One event involved a seismic risk at a gasous diffusion plant. Two events involved multiple brachytherapy misadministrations, one involved a radiopharmaceutical misadministration, and one involved an exposure to a minor. The report also addresses one AO at the facility licensed by an Agreement State. The proposed Agreement State AO inovlved a brachytherapy misadministration. In addition. Appendix C of the report, 'Other Events of Interest,' includes six events.
