SUBJECT:
TASK FORCE ON OPERATIONAL DATA ANALYSIS Afl0 EVALUATI0fi I am forming a Task Force to-examine operational data analysis and evaluation activities within NRC.
I want the Task Force to concentrate on defining near term actions which will permit NRC to make the best use of the existing data base and data systems.
Priority should be given to defining actions that will establish a structured analytical process to identify potential safety concerns promptly from the data.
The focus should be on operational data frcm power reactors, although the possible applicability of reconrendations from this Task Force to data from other licensed facilities should be recognized.
The Task Force should address the follcwing:
methods to improve the review, systematic analysis and evaluation of operational data within NRC; and approaches to highlight the responsibility and strengthen the capability of the licensing and inspection offices to be aware of and react promptly to potential safety concerns in the data.
The Task Force should consider factors such as the integration of all data sources (e.g. inspection data as well as licensee furnished data), the volume of data handled, changes to or creation of office procedures, and office resources that should be devoted to operational data gathering and analysis.
To the extent that enhancements to the quality, completeness, and uniformity of data generated by the licensees for NRC affect the staff's ability to analyze or evaluate the data, such enhancements should 8002 31o [ 7 [

also be considered.
However, cherational data gathering in general is a
. topic outside the scope of this Task Force.
Based on my discussions with you, I have decided to appoint Donald K. Davis, NRR, as Chairman of the Task Force. Members will be Dennis-M. Crutchfield, NRR, William A. Nixon, HMSS, Dudley Thompson, IE, Robert J. Budnitz,,RES, Manuel S. Medeiros, SD, and Richard A. Hartfield, MPA.
As a first step, I want the Task Force to develop for my approval an expanded. charter and schedule of activities that will lead to definition of near term actions by early May.
I will send this information to bhe Commission next week.
