Annual Assessment Meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission
NRC Performance Goals PMaintain safety and protect the environment PEnhance public confidence PImprove effectiveness, efficiency, and realism of processes and decision making PReduce unnecessary regulatory burden
Reactor Oversight Process Safety Cornerstones Inspection Results Significance Threshold Action Matrix Significance Threshold Performance Indicator Results Regulatory Response Strategic Performance Areas
Key Aspects of the Assessment Program PObjective review of licensee performance PAction Matrix identifies agency response commensurate with safety significance PIncreasing safety significance results in:
- Increased levels of inspection
- Involvement of higher levels of NRC and Licensee management
- Increased regulatory action PPlant specific assessment information on NRC public web site
Regional Organization Regional Specialists Director Division of Reactor Safety Cynthia Pederson Resident Inspector Steve Caudill Senior Resident Inspector George Wilson Branch Chief Bruce Burgess Director Division of Reactor Projects Steven Reynolds Deputy Director Geoffrey E. Grant Regional Administrator Jim Dyer
Annual Licensee Assessment Meeting PA public forum for discussion of the licensees performance PNRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the Annual Assessment Letter PLicensee will respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance
