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 (PIs)

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

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*

National Summary z Performance Indicator Results (at end of CY 2004)

Green 1834 White 6 Yellow 0 Red 0 z Total Inspection Findings (CY 2004)

Green 778 White 11 Yellow 0 Red 0

D.C. Cook Assessment Results (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004) z Unit 1:

z Regulatory Response Column - Based on one White inspection finding in the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone (shared by both units).

z Unit 2:

z Q1/2004: Degraded Cornerstone Column - Based on two White PIs in the Initiating Events cornerstone and the one White inspection finding from above.

z Q2-Q4/2004: Regulatory Response Column - Plant performance exited the Degraded Cornerstone Column when one White PI transitioned to Green.

z Supplemental Inspections conducted:

z IP 95002 reviewed the two White performance indicators of Unit 2 and determined that the licensee conducted an adequate root cause evaluation.

z IP 95001 reviewed the circumstances surrounding the one White inspection finding and determined that the licensee conducted an adequate root cause evaluation.

D.C. Cook Inspection Activities (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004) 1818 hours0.021 days <br />0.505 hours <br />0.00301 weeks <br />6.91749e-4 months <br /> of total baseline inspection by resident and regional inspectors.
