However, the regional office should consider each of these regulatory actions when significant new information regarding licensee performance becomes available.

Key Aspects of the Assessment Program

• Objective review of licensee performance

• "Action Matrix" identifies agency response commensurate with safety significance

• Increasing safety Significance results in:

- Increased levels of inspection

- Involvement of higher levels of NRC and Licensee management

- Increased regulatory action

• Plant specific assessment information on NRC public web site:

• http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/ OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/
