.U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REQUEST FOR ACTION ON THE BASIS OF THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT RECEIPT OF PETITION FOR DIRECTOR'S DECISION UNDER 10 CFR 2.206 l
l Notice is hereby given that by petition dated May 1, 1987, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) and other named petitioners requested that the Commission take action on the basis of the accident that occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor.
Specifically, the petition requests that the NRC suspend further licensing of nuclear facilities in the United
. States pending a study and report of the accident at the Chernobyl plent, and that the NRC review the findings and request public comment on the report and on the applicability of the findings to facilities licensed by the NRC. The petition asserts, as grounds for this request, that there is
}-
a similarity between Chernobyl and features of boiling water plants in the f
United States and that the Chernobyl accident provides important industry I
F experience which warrants review of existing industry standards under NRC regulations. The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR $2.206 of I
the Commission's regulations. As provided by Section 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this request within a reasonable time.
