MAY 3 1 1979 liEMORANDUM FOR:
NRR Staff FROM:
Roger J. Mattson, Director, Division of Systems Safety
SUBJECT:
LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE TMI-2 ACC! DENT Over the past few weeks of intensive staff effort on the TMI-2 accident, many ideas, suggestions and comments for constructive change of our regulatory requirements for nuclear power plants have come from the NRR staff.
Undoubt-edly, many additional ideas have or will occur to individuals.
Each of you is invited to submit any such ideas directly to me.
I will assure that all of these are factored into the evaluations by the Lessons Learned Task Force or other offices in NRC.
The charter for the Lessons Learned Task Force is attached to indicate the range of topics which are being considered. However, your comments need not be limited to the subject areas listed there.
One of our highest priorities in the early days of the Task Force effort is to catalog and prioritize the many ideas and recommendations.
Your individual input would be most useful for this purpose if received by June 6,1979.

Lesson Learned s
This Task for~the TMI-2 accident includes the review and evaluation of. investigative information, s';off cvaluations
># responses to I&E Bulletins and orders, staff recommendations and recomnended actions from outside of the NRC; to identify, analyze and recommend changes to licensing requirements and the licensing process for nuclear power plants based on the lessons learned and provide recommendations for interim requirequirements for new operating licenses prior to completion of long-t erm activities.
There is a range of area of inmediate interest to NRR in which possible regulatory improvements are suggested by the TMI accident.
These include:
(1 )
Reactor operator training ard licensing.
(2) Reactor transient and accident analysis.
(3) Licensing requirements for safety and process equipment, instrumentation, and controls.
(4) Offsite and onsite emergency preparations and procedures.
(5) Reactor siting.
(6)
Licensee technical qualification.

~ (7) NRR accident response role, capability and management.
(8)
Reactor operating experience (9)
Environmental Effects (10)
Licensing requirements for post-accident monitoring ana controls.
(11)
Post-Accident Cleanup and Recovery.
(12)
NRR engineering evaluation of the TMI-2 event sequence.
End-products may take the form of proposals for changes in legislation, policy, regulations, staff technical positions, review procedures, or NRR organizational structure and responsibilities.
All information developed by the Task Force will be made public and submitted to others investigating the TM1-2 accident. The Task Force will serve as the focal point for NRR interaction with these groups.
