COMMENTS ON REPORT OF REGULATORY REVIEW GROUP TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (58 Fed. Reg. 29012 - May 18, 1993)
Dear Mr. Gillespie:
The BWR Owners' Group (BWROG) welcomes the opportunity to comment
~
on the subject report of the NRC's Regulatory Review Group (RRG).
We fully support the RRG effort to identify regulatory require-3 ments and practices that exceed what is required for adequate i
protection of the public health and safety.
Revisions to overly prescriptive or redundant requirements and guidance.would increase our member companies' flexibility in operating and maintaining their plants while maintaining and (in numerous cases) even i
improving overall plant safety.
j Based on a very preliminary review of the report, we believe that the RRG has done an excellent job in their identfication of major areas of the current body of regulations and implementing guidance that warrant either revision or further study.
We believe'that a-j number of the items identified can be acted upon, based on data i
that has already been provided by the industry, without further study and urge expedited action by the NRC on those issues.
To that end, we believe it highly important that the NRC, with'the assistance of the industry, move quickly to establish appropriate priorities for pursuing resolution of the various items already 9308160218 930722 PDR ADOCK 05000458 P
