00ESTION 1.
What is the Comission's position with regard to the recommen-dation of the Special Inquiry Group that the NRC should satisfy itself that every applicant for an Operating License has evaluated:
The management and technical qualifications of its site crew and site management, and their familiarity with the new plant.
ANSWER.
All of the the recommendations of the Special Inquiry Group (SIG), were con-sidered by the Commission in the evaluation of the TMI Action Plan from draft 2 to draft 3.
A number of the SIG recommendations were considered to be accom-modated implicitly in action items already in the plan. Other SIG recommenda-tions were accommodated either by modification of action items for draft 3 or by the addition of new action items in draft 3.
Since the TMI Action Plan is still in draft ferm, the scope and content of some action items may change.
However, some items have already been approved by the Comission for imple-mentation. These items are marked in the discussions below with an asterisk (*).
This specific recommendation category is covered adequately in draft 3 of the TMI Action Plan. The specific Task Action Plans (TAP's) associated with this category are as follows:
- TAP I.A.I.l.
