Dear Chairman Carr:
SUBJECT:
IMPLEMENTATION.0F THE SAFETY. GOAL POLICY During the 365th meeting of the. Advisory Committee ' on Reactor Safeguards, September 6-7, 1990, we reviewed the Staff. Requirements Memorandum (SRM) dated-June 15, 1990, in regard to SECY-89-102 -
Implementation of the Safety Goals.
As you are aware,.the Committee has had' considerable interest in this subject and has expressed.its views in a number'of reports'to the Commission.
We believe the Safety Goal Policy development has provided an opportunity-for establishing a coherent philosophy of l
regulation and that it can be used to implement.this philosophy.
.That has been the reason for our interest.
Implementing the policy l
abstractions in a practical way-will be.a difficult undertaking, but one we believe to be achievable.
While:we'have not reviewed this SRM.in detail, we think it is an excellent first step.
We applaud the efforts of the Commission in; producing. it, and look forward to future interactions as :the' policy-implementation develops.
Sincerely,
,h Carlyle Michelson Chairman ppf2 5 900921 R-1402 PDC c
