C.aest':ns by :_.nor Simason in tha " ril Ig,1]D ' Ricing of the Suu.: nitt:e :n Nuclair 0:;uld. ;a 1.
The trair.ing and licansing of reactor cceraars my not sufficiently stress 2:3rgency situaticns that could occur at nuclear ac'..er plants.
The NRC should consider precaring critaria for the triining, retraining 2nd licansing of these perscns that acequately cr.<er this aspect.
2.
The NRC should precare criteria ccacarning the engineering backuo force for dealing with cmergency situaticos at a nuclear pcwer
?lant.
Each licensee shculd submit a plan concerning this aspect of the 'iRC evaluation.
3.
It shculd be determined.hether the regulatory program overstresses the most severe, highly-f rprobable accidents (i.e., ESAs) and under-emphasizes the less severe but much more probable iccidents that may occur.
4.
The NRC should accelerate the program for irplementation of resident ins pectors.
5.
It appears that an increase in the 2ncunt of civil penalties is app ro p ri a te.
In general, Senator Simpscn is supcortive of the NRC proposal in this regard except for the pro.cosed elimination of review by Faderal Courts.
6.
The NRC should establish criteria for the licensing of nuclear power plant managers.

The ':RC shculd conduct s'udies of :ystems for direct NRC.conitoring of inortant parametars of nuclear pc'.ser plant sys t:9.

A c:Tprehensive pl an shculd ce establi had to ?cavi ie for crac'pt '.RC response in the event of emergencies.
10.
States which do not yet have acceptaEle energency plans :hould be 2ncouraged to have these in the very near future.
This inccuragement could be coupled with a cut-off date for ccmpliance which provides that, in the event of ncnccmpliance, no mcre licenses will be issued to facilities in that state.
11.
Tnere should be increased research on ircprovements in safaty systems.
12.
There should be more direct inspection af licensee activities by NRC pe rs onnel.
