o-328 ACTION PLAN FOR DEVELOPING REGULATORY OPTIONS ON SISTER BABCOCK & WILCOX OPERATING REACTORS Commissioners Gilinsky and Kennedy are acting as a cubec=mittee of the full Cc= mission for the purpose of developing regulatory options on the Babcock & Wilcox operating reactors that are essentially similar in design to Unit 2 of Three Mile Island.
Governor Brown cf California has petitioned the Commission to shut down one auch reactor, Rancho Seco, as a precautionary measure pending development of more definitive information about the causes cf the Three Mile Island situation.
Governor Brown's petition, and an3 similar petitions, should be acted upon expeditiously, recogni-ing that full infnrnation about and evaluation of the TMI situation will not yet be avail-able.
Accordingly, CGC suggests that the following steps be taken:
I.
Immediate Staff Work A.
Obtain best available preliminary 'cechnical evalua-tion of the significance of the TMI accident for the sister plants.
The focus should be on whether presently available information indicates a generic design or procedural probler.
B.
Determine current operating status of sister plants --
e.c.,
Davis-Eesse is not presently operating.
C.
Determir.e probable practical effects of the follow-ing regulatory options:
1.
Provisicn of resident inspector and other meas-ures already adopted.
2.
Increased inspection and surveillance above current levels.
3 Operation at reduced power levels.
4.
Other possible safety conditions -- e.g.,
provision of additional safety equipment.
5 Precautionary shutdown pending more definite identification of TMI problem.
