The "unreviewed safety question" criterion of 10 CFR 50.59(c) which-is currently applicable to power reactors has caused some interpretive and implementation problems which are likely to be-the subject of a r"lemaking to clarify 10 CFR 50.59 and related regulations.
Careful consideration should be given as to whether the separate term " unresolved safety issue" is needed, and if so, it should be clearly defined.
The staff should ensure that the rulemaking effort on 10 CFR 50.59 is closely coordinated with this effort.
(EDO)
(SECY Suspense:
