FEB 2 91989 MEMORANDUM FOR:

Chairman Ahearne Comissioner Gilinsky Comissioner Kennedy Comissioner Hendrie Comissioner Bradford FROM:

William J. Dircks Acting Executive Director for Operations

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF SPECIAL TASK FORCE ON THREE MILE ISLAND CLEANUP' Attached is the report of the special task force that I formed on February 19 to evaluate cleanup activities at Three Mile Island.

I strongly endorse the main thrust of the report -- a. call for prompt action to restore forward motion to the cleanup process.

Consistent with the findings and recemendations in the report, I intend to direct the staff imediately to:

establish interim criteria and the proper level of authority for staff decisions to permit releases associated with plant maintenance or data-gathering activities; assign high priority and necessary resources to ensure the programatic Environmental Impact Statement is soundly based and completed on a schedule accelerated to the extent practical; increase permanent staffing of NRC's Middletown office and Onsite Support Group, including a full time spokesman, and transfer assignments to prepare environmental assessments to Bethesda; 8003100 @

O a

finish the necessary assessments on the propo;al to vent Krypton-85 from the containment building so the Commission has all information needed for a prompt decision; and complete any technical studies needed to confirm' or supplement the preliminary risk assessments and health and safety judgments in the task force report.

I also intend to direct the staff to prepare a. plan and schedule of staff and Comission activities for proceeding with the Three Mile Island cleanup and for implementing each of the task force recommendations.
