i Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have j

been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain 1

equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.

Licensees 7

of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, y

have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to 1

their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.

In addition, j

substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors 4

which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar j
