IE INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 85-78:

Addressees

All nuclear power reactor facilities holding an operating license (OL) or a

construction permit (CP).

Purpose

s:

This notice is being issued to revise guidance to power reactor licensees

regarding specific event notification information that should be provided to

the NRC Operations Center when reporting events in accordance with

10 CFR 50.72. This guidance supercedes that provided in IN 83-34 dated May 26,

1983.

Suggestions contained in this information notice do not constitute NRC

requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required.

Description of Circumstances

Significant events reported to the NRC Operations Center receive prompt

evaluation by NRC technical staff at headquarters and regional offices. To

assist in obtaining adequate information for evaluation, the worksheet has been

revised for the Operations Officers manning the NRC Operations Center.

The

event notification worksheet has been provided for your information as an

attachment to this information notice.

We recognize that this list is not all

inclusive, nor are all of its items applicable to each event.

Rather, it lists

certain key items on the basis of past experience that are required for most

notifications. The checklist is intended to provide the licensee with the type

of information that should be provided to the NRC Operations Center when

reporting events.

It is suggested that copies of the worksheet be made available to employees

responsible for reporting event related information to the NRC to replace

copies of the worksheet provided in IN 83-34.

To prevent misunderstandings and reduce callbacks by the Operations Officer

as a result of incomplete information, the description should provide sufficient

detail for the Operations Officer to understand the event, including all system

interactions.

The NRC welcomes any recommendations for improvements to the event reporting

process.
