Resolution of Generic Safety Issues: Task IV.C: Extend Lessons Learned to Licensed Activities Other than Power Reactors ( NUREG-0933, Main Report with Supplements 1–35 )

The objective of this task is to assure that the lessons learned from TMI are applied to other NRC programs.

ITEM IV.C.1: EXTEND LESSONS LEARNED FROM TMI TO OTHER NRC PROGRAMS

DESCRIPTION

This TMI Action Plan Item⁴⁸ required that lessons learned from TMI be extended to other key NRC programs where a potential exists for nuclear accidents including, but not restricted to, the transportation of nuclear materials, waste management, research reactors, fuel facilities, and Category I materials licensees. An NRC study was to be performed to identify the lessons learned from TMI and the resulting agency actions to determine if NRC policies and practices related to key programs, other than light-water power reactor safety, should be revised and upgraded.

Studies performed by NMSS resulted in the issuance of a Draft BTP on Waste Form on October 30, 1981 which incorporated the resin degradation experience gained from the EPICOR-II system design used at TMI-2. This BTP²⁴⁹ was issued in February 1983. As a result, all necessary work on this item has been completed.⁴¹⁰

CONCLUSION

This item has been RESOLVED.
