Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Baseline Inspection Performance Indicator Results Results Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Action Matrix Regulatory Response 7

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 8

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 9
