Highlights

As a result of the the numerous studies concerning the accident at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Powerplant, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) drafted the Three Mile Island Action Plan, which includes 51 major tasks that NRC believes are necessary to respond to the many investigations and studies of the accident. In evaluating the plan and the adequacy of the NRC process for prioritizing and implementing the planned actions, 10 major tasks were selected for detailed review. These tasks represent a cross section of the 51 tasks included in the plan and include 49 actions already taken or proposed by NRC. The plan was still in draft form and changed several times during the review period.
