nonrecurrence

Happens only once

Nonrecurrence is the state of something not happening again.

The term appears most often in medical contexts, where it describes the absence of a disease or condition after treatment: The surgery aims at nonrecurrence of the tumor.

More broadly, it can apply to any event that doesn't repeat: policies designed to ensure the nonrecurrence of such failures.
