INSIGHTS FROM DAVIS-BESSE LESSONS-LEARNED TASK FORCE OPERATING EXPERIENCE ASSESSMENT KEY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Evaluate the agencys capability to retain operating experience information and to perform longer-term operating experience reviews Evaluate thresholds, criteria and guidance for initiating generic communications Evaluate opportunities for additional effectiveness and efficiency gains stemming from changes in organizational alignments (e.g., a centralized NRC operational experience clearing house)
Evaluate effectiveness of the Generic Issues program Evaluate the effectiveness of the internal dissemination of operating experience to end users Enhance effectiveness of the processes for the collection, review, assessment, storage, retrieval and dissemination of foreign operating experience
