-l TASK FORCE ON OPERATIONAL SAFETY DATA ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION CHARTER:
Examine NRC analysis and evaluation activities associated with operational data and recommend actions which will permit NRC to best use existing operational data base and data systems to promptly identify potential safety concerns.
The primary focus is on operating power reactors, although recommendations for evaluation of operational data from other types of facilities will be considered.
' Specific Objectives:
l 1.
Define prompt actions that will establish a structured evaluation. process to identify potential safety concerns or trends from power reactor operational or empirical data. This process should utilize the existing organizational capabilities of NRC.
e 2.
Assure that the process for review and evaluation of operational data emphasizes the importance of prompt regulatory actions prior to complete evaluation of potential safety concerns.
i 3.
Recommend a division of responsibilities within the NRC l
l offices with regard to generic compilation, verification, l
review, analysis and evaluation of operational data.
