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

  • Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr
  • Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs
  • Operator Response ~125 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

Significance Threshold Performance Indicators Green: Baseline Inspection White: Increased 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 2005 Licensee Response 84 Regulatory Response 12 Degraded Cornerstone 4 Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone 3 Unacceptable 0 Total 103

National Summary

  • Performance Indicator Results (at end of CY 2005)

Green 1850 White 4 Yellow 0 Red 0

  • Total Inspection Findings (CY 2005)

ROP Deviation

  • On August 23, 2004 the NRC Executive Director for Operations approved a deviation from the Action Matrix for Salem and Hope Creek
  • On July 29, 2005 the NRC renewed the deviation from the Action Matrix
  • Authorizes a greater level of oversight for the Salem and Hope Creek stations than would typically be called for by the Regulatory Response Column of the Action Matrix
  • The heightened oversight will continue until PSEG has concluded that substantial, sustainable progress has been made; and the NRC has completed a review, the results of which confirm PSEGs assessment results.
