C--fX -,a November 23, 1999NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 99-04SOURCES OF INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHEDIN THE AEOD ANNUAL REPORT

ADDRESSEES

All NRC licensees.

INTENT

To inform addressees that, with the dissolution of the Office for the Analysis and Evaluation ofOperational Data (AEOD), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will no longerpublish the AEOD annual report, and that certain information published in the AEOD annualreport may still be obtained from other sources. No specific action or written response to thisregulatory issue summary is required.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

AEOD has published reports of its activities from 1984 to 1998. Beginning in 1986, the annualreports were published as NUREG-1272. This report was eventually published in three parts,providing (1) an overview of operating experience in the nuclear power industry, (2) the uses oflicensed material in applications other than power reactors, and (3) the Technical TrainingCenter activities in support of the mission of the NRC.The AEOD annual report has been a convenient way to inform the public about the programsand activities of the office. It was also a convenient way to report on the status of staff actionsstemming from the NRC Incident Investigation Program. Most of the information in the reporthas been collected from other publicly available NRC documents.In December 1998, the Commission approved a plan to streamline and consolidate thefunctions and responsibilities of AEOD. Therefore, in March 1999, AEOD was abolished, andits functions and responsibilities were aligned with the following offices: Human Resources(HR), Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS), Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR),Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), and Incident Response Operations (IRO). In this regard,HR is responsible for managing the technical training functions of the agency, NMSS isresponsible for maintaining the Nuclear Material Events Database, NRR is responsible for theIncident Reporting System, RES is responsible for managing the independent operatingexperience assessment functions of the agency, and IRO is responsible for managing theIncident Investigation Program and the Incident Response Program.ML993220041 With the dissolution of AEOD, NRC staff assessed the need to continue to disseminate theinformation contained in NUREG-1272 through a similar annual report. The decision was madeto no longer publish an annual report because the information of primary interest is publiclyavailable elsewhere, such as the reports on the Accident Sequence Precursor Program and thePerformance Indicator Program. Also, abolishing the annual report will save staff resources byeliminating duplication of effort.ISSUE SUMMARYThe NRC will no longer issue annual reports similar to NUREG-1272 because the information ofprimary interest is publicly available elsewhere. In this regard, Attachment 1 to this regulatoryissue summary identifies where information on reactors that appeared in the last AEOD annualreport (NUREG-1 272, Vol. 11, No. 1) may continue to be found.Information on nuclear materials in the AEOD annual report (NUREG-1272, Vol. 11, No. 2) wasprimarily obtained from the Nuclear Materials Events Database (NMED) and the AbnormalOccurrence Report. (It is noted that the Abnormal Occurrence Report, as well as reports on theIncident Response Program and the Radiation Exposure Information Reporting System,address both reactor- and nuclear materials-related matters.) Information pertaining to generalnuclear materials issues may be found on the NRC Website <www.nrc.gov>. Information onabnormal occurrences is available in the NUREG-0090 series. Daily event reports andpreliminary notifications of events are available under the 'News and Information" section of theNRC Website. Furthermore, highlights of NMSS activities can be found in the NMSSnewsletter, NUREG/BR-0117, which is also available on the NRC Website. NMSS is activelyworking on making NMED and a quarterly summary of events derived from NMED available tothe public.The AEOD Annual Report (NUREG-1 272, Vol. 11, No. 3) also covered the activities of theTechnical Training Center (TTC). The TTC is now under the jurisdiction of the Office of HumanResources. There are currently no plans to document the activities of the TTC on the NRCWebsite. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the NRC Website <www.nrc.aov> forinformation concerning activities of the NRC.David B.MthwDDivision of Regulatory Improvement ProgramsOffice of Nuclear Reactor RegulationContact: Jose G.
