! Openness: Ensure openness in our regulatory process

! Effectiveness: Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely

! Management: Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRCs strategic objective

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

Examples of Baseline Inspections

! Equipment Alignment ~92 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 ~200 hrs every 2 yrs

! Corrective Action Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

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
