g October 29, 1980 OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN The Honorable Elmer B. Staats i
Comptroller General of the United States General Accounting Office Washington, D. C. 20548
Dear Mr. Staats:
In accordance with Section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1
1970, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is hereby submitting a statement on the Comission actions being taken with regard to the j
recomendations made by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GA0) in a l
report entitled, "Do Nuclear Regulatory Commission Plans Adequately Address Regulatory Deficiencies Highlighted Bv The Three Mile Island Accident?"
The GA0 recomends that "... the Commission periodically report to Congress on its progress in implementing the Action Plan, specifically providing the status of each action compared to the' original Plan."
In our next Annual Report to the Congress we plan to devote an entire chapter to the aftermath of the TMI accident.
This chapter will include, among other things, a report on the status of Action Plan items. Of course if the Congress desires additional information on the Action 4
Plan, we will be pleased to provide it.
However, we do request that the Congress first review our initial report to determine if it is sufficient.
We believe the Annual Report is an appropriate vehicle for periodic reports to Congress on NRC's progress in implementing the Action Plan in the current year, and in succeeding years as applicable.
For the most part NRC agrees with the GA0 report.
Two observations made by GAO, however, merit additional coments.
These are summarized on the attached page.
Since ely,
