General Accounting Office Problems And Delays Overshadow NRC's Initial Success In Improving Reactor Operators' Capabilities Tho nuclear powerplant accident at Three Mile Island raised many questions concerning the safety of nuclear powerplant operations and, especially, the ability of nuclear power reactor operators to respond to abnormal or acci- dent conditions. In response, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) developed a plan, which included both short- and long-term actions to improve the safety of nqclear powerplants. GAO reviewed the progress in imple- menting operator training and qualification actions and found that: --Strong initial NRC and utility efforts resulted in implementation of a number of short-term actions that should improve the safety of nuclear powerplant operations. --Since these initial actions were taken, NRC's efforts have lost momentum and implementation problems and delays are being experienced. --NRC is relying on an industry-sponsored group to carry out most of the operator training and qualifica- tion improvements without a specific agreement cov- ering coordination of their respective efforts. qAO recommends two actions NRC can take to improve le effectiveness of its effort to improve training and quali- fications of nuclear powerplant personnel. \tvD S7,1 - ~ . 0 120122 GAO/RCED-83-4 DECEMBER 15, 1982
