Annual Assessment And Performance Meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission

NRC REPRESENTATIVES

  • Jim Dyer, Administrator, Region III
  • Sam Collins, Director, Office of Nuclear Regulation
  • Geoffrey Grant, Director, Division of Reactor Projects, RIII
  • Ivy Netzel, Resident Inspector, DC Cook

NRC Performance Goals P Maintain safety and protect the environment P Enhance public confidence P Improve effectiveness, efficiency, and realism of processes and decision making P Reduce unnecessary regulatory burden

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

Annual Licensee Assessment Meeting P A public forum for discussion of the licensees performance P NRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the Annual Assessment Letter P Licensee will respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance

Key Aspects of the Assessment Program P Objective review of licensee performance P Action Matrix identifies agency response commensurate with safety significance P Increasing safety significance results in:

- Increased levels of inspection

- Involvement of higher levels of NRC and Licensee management

- Increased regulatory action P Plant specific assessment information on NRC public web site

Significance Threshold

  • Performance Indicators
  • Green: Only baseline Inspection
  • White: May increase NRC oversight
  • Yellow: Requires more NRC oversight
  • Red: Requires more NRC oversight

Significance Threshold

  • Inspection Findings
  • Green: Very low safety issue
  • White: Low to moderate safety issue
  • Yellow: Substantial safety issue
  • Red: High safety issue

An Action Matrix is used to assess overall plant safety performance and specify thresholds for NRC Enforcement Actions L ic e n s e e R e s p o n s e R e g u la to ry R e s p o n s e D e g ra d e d C o rn e rs to n e M u lt ip l e / R e p e titi ve U n a c c e p ta b le C o lu m n C o lu m n C olum n D e g ra d e d C o rn e rs to n e P e rfo rm a n c e C o lu m n C o lu m n R A ll A s s e ss m e n t In p u ts O n e o r T w o W h i te O n e D e g ra d e d R e p e tit iv e D e g ra d e d O ve ra ll U n a c c e p ta b l e E (P e rf o rm a n c e In p u ts (i n d iff e re n t C o rn e rs to n e (2 W h i te C o rn e rs to n e , M u l tip le P e rfo rm a n c e ; P l a n ts S In d ic a t o rs (P Is ) a n d c o rn e rs to n e s ) in a In p u ts o r 1 Y e ll o w D e g ra d e d N o t P e rm itte d to In s p e c tio n F i n d in g s ) S tra te g ic P e rfo rm a n c e In p u t) o r a n y 3 W h it e C o rn e rs to n e s , M u lti p l e O p e ra t e W ith i n t h is U

  • Two WHITE Findings Remain Open
  • NRC To Reinspect Once Licensee Completes Extent Of Condition Review

Security & Safeguards Update P Creation of Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response P Top-to-Bottom Review of Security Program Initiated P Issuance of Orders/ Interim Compensatory Measures (ICM)
