Dear Mr. Chairman:
in accordance with the Fiscal Year 1999 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, Senate Report 105-26, I am transmitting the second monthly report on the status of licensing activities and regulatory duties of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) (enclosed).
In my letter to you of December 24,1998, I highlighted several noteworthy improvements completed by tha agency in recent months. Since that letter, I am pleased to report to you that the staff continues to complete milestones within the improvement initiatives outlined in the
. Tasking Memorandum. Noteworthy accomplishments include the completion of a framework for an improved reactor oversight program, developed through significant levels of stakeholder
-. involvement, which involves substantial changes to the reactor inspection and assessment programs; and the submission to the Commission of a paper outlining and discussing a set of options for making Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, risk-informed,in order to place more emphasis on incorporating risk concepts and the results of risk assessments in NRC regulatory requirements.
r The NRC continues to complete milestones within the improvement initiatives outlined in the l
~ Tasking Memorandum. I have also enclosed the January 1999 update to the Tasking Memorandum, which highlights the more noteworthy improvements completed by the agency
- since August 1998.
Sincerely, VO A
