the following are existing 'oeans of reviewing infor$ation about nuclear plant incidents:

This cisht be acecaptishedTe'i~4tively little ef fort sinco I believe. Paul Christ =as, the tage. Ceneratioa Ad=iniv.
has the documentation that would be required for this review.
A possible technique of increasing the timeliness and adequacy of 2.
information eachange would be to forcally establish a group with that purpose as their principal accour.tability. We would than assure that all incoming infor=ation which had a potential for interest withis the Generation Division was processed through them. ney would them flag to the appropriate parties the ite=s of interest. I en not optimistic that this would be a cost and manpower affective way of enhancing our com:sunicatiosa. However, it could be a-Ined if COM f elt therg was a need.
Perhaps the most f ruitful'ioprovement that could he rsad'e'in the establish =
3.
of an industry comittee for Infor:3aton processing. This would probably be most appropriately done by EEI. While EEI does currently have industry nestings and industry co.sittee rieetings the Operadons Depa=t=en and plant personnel participation at these meetings is non-existent.
