Resolution of Generic Safety Issues: Section 2. Task Action Plan Items ( NUREG-0933, Main Report with Supplements 1–34 )
This section contains all Task Action Plan items documented in NUREG-03712 and NUREG-04713 as well as all USIs documented in other NRC publications. Items A-1 through A-41 are listed in NUREG-03712 and all items with prefixes "B," "C," and "D" are listed in NUREG-0471.3 USIs identified after publication of NUREG-03712 and NUREG-04713 are listed in the following documents: NUREG-0510186 (A-42 through A-44); NUREG-070544 ( A-45 through A-48); and NUREG-10901788 (A-49). A total of 142 items are listed in this section.
The Generic Issues Tracking System (GITS) Report38 issued on December 17, 1981, provided a status report on the majority of the 142 items as well as their classification into four categories: Environmental, Licensing Improvement, Safety, and USI. The safety issues identified in the GITS Report38 provided the basis for all prioritization work contained in this section. The lead responsibility and a summary of the findings for each item listed in this section can be found in Table II of the Introduction.
