Licensee Event Reports

A Licensee Event Report (LER) is a formal document submitted by a licensed nuclear facility to regulatory authorities whenever an unusual or significant event occurs within the plant. It explains what happened, why it occurred, and what actions were taken to address it. These reports help regulators monitor safety performance, identify potential issues, and improve operational procedures, ensuring ongoing safety and compliance in nuclear operations. LERs are essential for transparency and accountability, providing a detailed record of events that could impact public health, safety, or the environment.
