United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Protecting People and the Environment

Resolution of Generic Safety Issues: Section 1. TMI Action Plan Items ( NUREG-0933, Main Report with Supplements 1–34 )

This section contains the TMI Action Plan items that were documented in NUREG-0660.48 All items in Chapters I, II, III, and IV that were identified for prioritization and listed in this section follow the numbering system established in NUREG-0660.48 Items found to be closely related have been combined where possible to form single issues for prioritization purposes. As a result, some of these combined issues contain items with the lead responsibility assigned to several offices. However, the lead responsibility and a summary of the findings for each item listed can be found in Table II of the Introduction. Items clarified in NUREG-073798 are listed in this section for accounting purposes only.

Chapters I, II, III, and IV presented a detailing of plans for NRC staff or licensee action whereas Chapter V addressed NRC policy, organization, and management and originally called for 17 specific actions to be taken by the Commissioners. In recognition of the interrelationships that required correlated planning, these 17 items were later grouped into seven subject areas by the staff and forwarded to the Commission in SECY-80-230B.972 This revision to Chapter V was agreed upon by the Commission and was published as Rev. 1 to NUREG-066048 in July 1980. All items of Chapter V listed in this section follow the numbering system established in NUREG-0660,48 Rev. 1.
