NRC Performance Goals Safety: Ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment Security: Ensure the secure use and management of radioactive materials 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 www.nrc.gov
Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Baseline Inspection Performance Performance Indicator Indicator Results Results Results Significance Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Threshold Action Matrix Regulatory Response www.nrc.gov
Examples of Baseline Inspections Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr Rad Release Controls ~110 hrs every 2 yrs Worker Radiation Protection ~90 hrs/yr Corrective Action Program ~250 hrs every 2 yrs Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr www.nrc.gov
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 www.nrc.gov

Davis-Besse Assessment Results Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2005 Davis-Besse was in the IMC 0350 Process for the 1st and 2nd Quarters of CY 2005 On July 1, Davis-Besse transitioned from the 0350 Process to the Reactor Oversight Process
- Regulatory Response Column due to an open White finding in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone A 95001 supplemental inspection was performed in October 2005 to review the open White finding No substantive cross-cutting issues identified www.nrc.gov
Safety Significant Findings or PIs A White finding was issued in 2Q2005 in the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone. The finding and violation related to the testing of alert and notification system sirens in May 2004. The finding was closed in 4Q2005.
The NRC declared the alert and notification system performance indicator (ANS-PI) data for 2Q2004 and 3Q2004 discrepant. As a result the ANS-PI crossed the green-white threshold and was white in 2Q2004.
The ANS-PI returned to Green in 2Q2005.
www.nrc.gov
Davis-Besse Inspection Activities Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2005 Approximately 2200 baseline inspection hours More than 500 additional inspection hours 14 total findings and violations Order-related mid-cycle outage (Jan. 17 - Feb. 10) to inspect reactor vessel upper and lower heads and steam generator tubes www.nrc.gov
Davis-Besse Inspection Activities Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2005 NRC issued a Notice of Violation documenting nine proposed violations and a $5.45 million civil penalty on April 21, 2005 Problem Identification & Resolution inspection (in addition to routine biennial inspection) in August 2005 NRC review of Order-related independent assessments
- Operations Performance, Engineering Effectiveness, Safety Culture / Safety Conscious Work Environment, and Corrective Action Program Effectiveness www.nrc.gov
Davis-Besse Annual Assessment Summary Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2005 FENOC operated Davis-Besse in a manner that preserved public health and safety All cornerstone objectives were met with one White finding (EP performance deficiency regarding siren testing) that was closed in 4Q2005 NRC plans inspections in CY2006 to review the results of the four independent assessments www.nrc.gov
