This section contains the TMI Action Plan items that were documented in
NUREG-0660.[1]
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.[2]
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-0737[3]
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.[4] This revision to Chapter V was agreed upon by the Commission and was published as Rev. 1 to NUREG-0660[5] in July 1980. All items of Chapter V listed in this section follow the numbering system established in NUREG-0660,[6] Rev. 1.
