Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Performance Indicator Baseline Inspection Results Results Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Action Matrix Regulatory Response

Significance Threshold Performance Indicators Green: Only Baseline Inspection White: May increase NRC oversight Yellow: Requires more NRC oversight Red: Requires more NRC oversight Inspection Findings Green: Very Low safety significant issue White: Low to moderate safety significant issue Yellow: Substantial safety significant issue Red: High safety significant issue

Examples of Baseline Inspections

• Equipment Alignment ~90 hrs/yr

• Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs

• Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr

• Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr

• Rad Release Controls ~100 hrs every 2 yrs

• Worker Radiation Protection ~100 hrs/yr

• Corrective Action Program ~250 hrs every 2 yrs

• Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

Action Matrix Concept Licensee Regulatory Degraded Multiple/Rep. Unacceptable Response Response Cornerstone Degraded Performance Cornerstone Increasing Safety Significance Increasing NRC Inspection Efforts Increasing NRC/Licensee Management Involvement Increasing Regulatory Actions

National Summary of Plant Performance Status at End of 2002 Licensee Response 75 Regulatory Response 24 Degraded Cornerstone 2 Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone 1 Unacceptable 0 Total Plants 102

• Davis Besse is in IMC 0350 process
