Better Inspection Management

Would Improve Oversight

Of Operating Nuclear Plants


Investigations of the March 1979 Three Mile Island mii
clear power plant accident concluded, among other th ngs,
that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) needed ro
improve its program for inspecting operating nuclear
power plants. GAO evaluated NRC's management of ils
program and found that

  --Although total inspection hours at plants have almost
    doubled, more time is required to check for compl,
    ance with an expanding body of requirements. There-
    fore, the sufficiency of inspection program resources
    is a continuing agency concern

  --NRC should use available information and analytical
    techniques to help focus its resources on high prioo Ay
    inspection areas.

  --NRC could improve inspectors' effectiveness by pirovi-
    ing them with additional training and clearer guid-
    ance and criteria.
