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

Purpose of Todays Meeting A public forum for discussion of the licensees performance NRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the annual assessment letter Licensee will respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance

National Summary of Plant Performance Status at End of CY 2004 Licensee Response 78 Regulatory Response 21 Degraded Cornerstone 0 Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone 3 Unacceptable 0 Total 102*

• Davis-Besse is in IMC 0350 process
