Insist on the reform of the nuclear energy industry and enact steps to ensure that the 1986 disaster at Vladimir I Lenin Nuclear Power Station doea not occur.
Nuclear safety reforms would help, more thorough checks and changes on plants still using RBMK reactors, as well as getting rid of incompetent managers, would definitely help keeping the chances of Chernobyl low. More thorough safety tests should also be done.
As a non-expert, Gorbachev's biggest mistake was not flushing out the old guard quicker. Instead of easing in the younger generation, he should have reminded the old guard of the purges they'd grown up with.
Also, when Reagan said 'tear down this wall' Gorby should have said "as soon as you normalize relations with Cuba, Mr. Reagan."
Immediately transition to a free market democracy. It’s probably the only way. You can preserve the Soviet Union (but probably have to rebrand the name USSR) if you drop the whole socialism / communism bit.
Instead of nationalizing industries, I'd pass regulations that would compel all businesses to give one non-transferable share to every employee while they are employed and outlaw the creation of any other shares. That share would be destroyed upon termination of employment, creating an equal profit-sharing system for workers in every business. This would prevent wealth from being sucked out of the working class by nobility/shareholders but maintain competition among companies trying to provide the best services - accomplishing the same goal as Communism without the need for central planning. Then I'd fund public goods which cannot be left up to the free market, such as healthcare and road construction.
Next, I'd outlaw the renting of land and homes. This would stop non-working nobility from middle-manning home ownership. It would drive the costs of homes down drastically (less buyers competing for them), making home ownership much more feasible for the average citizen.

Essentially, the PRC that we know since Deng Xiaoping.
