handle is hein.gao/gaobabfek0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER G;ENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Should Report On Progress In Implementing Lessons Learned From The Three Mile Island Accident Following the March 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission prepared an Action Plan consisting of 176 items that it believed were necessary to improve utilities' operations and NRC's regulation of nuclear plants. Responsibility for implementing the Plan was divided among utilities building and operating nuclear plants, the NRC staff, and the NRC commissioners. Most of the Action Plan items were originally expected to be implemented by January 1983. GAO found, however, that some utility work on the Plan will not be completed until 1989 and NRC does not plan to complete those Action Plan items that it believes have relatively low safety significance. GAO also found that NRC has not routinely disclosed Action Plan progress and has merged management of its remaining work on the Plan with other nuclear safety issues. For these reasons and the importance NRC once assigned to the Action Plan, GAO believes NRC should provide the Congress a one- time report that accounts for progress on the Action Plan, addresses the significance of incomplete work, and states how progress on the remaining work will be reported in the future.
