Dear Congressman Markey:

In view of the interest you expressed in previous corres-pondence regarding the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) oversight of TMI Action Plan item implementation by our licensees,-I am writing to provide you the latest information available to me on the status'of this effort.

This information reflects the NRC staff's most recent review of licensee actions

]

J and commitments in this area and is current through February i

1990.

A copy of the staff's February. 22, 1990 report to.the i

Commission on this matter is enclosed.

j Over 98 percent of the TMI Action Plan requirements have been implemented at the 113 currently licensed facilities.

Of 3

2 19,436 possible TMI Action Plan items, 13,744 were found applicable when reviewed against each licensed reactor.

These i

figures have increased since our last report to you as a result of the addition of Limerick 2 to the list of licensed. reactors.

Of the currently applicable items, 13,537 have been implemented.

l Only 207 remain open, a reduction of 18 percent from the 254 open items identified in the Commission's June 1989 letter to you.

About 70 percent of the remaining 207 open items are expected to be implemented by the end of Calendar Year 1991.

From a plant perspective, the TMI Action Plan has been fully implemented at 24 of the 113 licensed facilities.

Six plants i

account for about one third of the remaining open items:

Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3 (53 items), Salem 1 and 2 (10 items),

and San Onofre 1 (6 items).

In addition, two plants, Rancho Seco (3 items) and Shoreham (4 items) have indefinitely suspended all TMI item schedular commitments in conjunction l

with the decision to cease operations.

The remaining 81 facilities have from 1 to 4 unimplemented items.
