NRC Performance Goals z Safety: Ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment z Security: Ensure the secure use and management of radioactive materials z Openness: Ensure openness in our regulatory process z Effectiveness: Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely z Management: Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRC strategic objective

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

Examples of Baseline Inspections z Equipment Alignment ~92 hrs/yr z Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs z Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr z Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr z Rad Release Controls ~100 hrs every 2 yrs z Worker Radiation Protection ~100 hrs/yr z Corrective Action Program ~200 hrs every 2 yrs z Corrective Action Case 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 issue White: Low to moderate safety issue Yellow: Substantial safety issue Red: High safety issue

Action Matrix Concept Licensee Regulatory Degraded Multiple/Rep. Unacceptable Response Response Cornerstone Degraded Performance Cornerstone Increasing Safety Significance Increasing NRC Inspection Efforts Increasing NRC/Licensee Management Involvement Increasing Regulatory Actions

• Finding closed

Peach Bottom Inspection Results (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004)

Supplemental Inspection

• Unit 2 White Unplanned Scrams PI

• PI has returned to Green

• Overall - adequate problem identification with some problem resolution issue

• Observation: Some cause evaluations were not thorough

• Observation: Underlying causes not always identified

• Observations: Some problems with corrective action adequacy & implementation

Peach Bottom Assessment Results (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004) z Operated safely z Unit 2: Regulatory Response Column of the Action Matrix for first three quarters of 2004. Licensee Response Column for the fourth quarter of 2004 z Unit 3 licensee response column of the Action Matrix for the fourth quarter of 2004 (cornerstone objectives fully met) z NRC will conduct baseline inspections during the next cycle z Substantive cross-cutting issue (PI&R) no longer exists (reduction in frequency of problem identification &

resolution findings)

Peach Bottom Inspection Activities (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2005) z NRC resident inspectors - Baseline inspections z 9 regional inspector visits scheduled z 1 team inspection scheduled
