Dear Dr. Carbon:
STAFF ACTIONS ON GENERIC ISSUES We have previously forwarded for the information of the Comittee copies of staff papers SECY-78-616, dated November 27, 1978, and SECY-78-616A, dated December 28, 1978. These papers addressed the material to be in-cluded in the NRC Annual Repo*t regarding " Unresolved Safety Issues".
Staff representatives discussed the general subject matter of these papers with the Generic Items Subcommittee of the ACRS during a meeting on December 5, 1978.
I am forwarding as an enclosure to this letter, copies of a memorandum we recently provided to Comissioner Kennedy which con-tains additional infomation regarding staff actions on generic issues.
You will note from the enclosed memorandum that we intend to devote priority effort to those issues that have been designated as " Unresolved Safety Issues". However, as indicated in Enclosure 3 to the memorandum, significant funding and manpower resources also are being applied to other Category A tasks.
In addition, some resources are being applied to Category B, C and D issues previously icentified by the staff. Further refinement of the relative priorities of the various tasks which may result in some additional reprograming of resources is stiil ongoing. We expect to com31ete this effort this month. We will provide the Committee with the results of this effort when completed.
With regard to the selection of " Unresolved Safety Issues", we intend to continue to interface with the Comittee on those issues currently identified for reporting to Congress and on future issues considered for reporting. Any advice the Comittee has in this regard would be appreciated.

s Dr. Max W. Carbon JAN 1 i ibi3 As noted in my memorandum to Comissioner kennedy, we ir. tend to routinely generate reports on the status of resolution of generic issues.
I will assure that copies of these reports are provided to the Comittee for your information.
Sincerely,
