REPORT BY THE U.S,

General Accounting Office










Reporting Unscheduled Events At

Commercial Nuclear Facilities:

Opportunities To Improve Nuclear

Regulatory Commission Oversight

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires
nuclear facility and materials licensees to re  /  V
port unscheduled events to the Commission /
so it can inspect, evaluate operating experi-
ences, and inform the public.

The Commission should improve its evalua
tion methods and extend reporting require
ments to types of events not now covered to
insure that it identifies all safety-related prob-
lems.

Also, the costs of the Commission mandating
industry participation in industry's voluntary
nuclear powerplant reliability reporting sys
tem may exceed the benefits. The Commis-
sion intends to further study the issue while
raising its financial support for the system.
GAO favors deciding the issue using rule-
maKing procedures.
