NRC Strategic Goals Safety: Ensure adequate protection of public health and safety and the environment Security: Ensure adequate protection in the secure use and management of radioactive materials

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 NRC strategic objective

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

Examples of Baseline Inspections Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr Fire Protection ~200 hrs Triennially Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr Rad Release Controls ~110 hrs Biennially Worker Radiation Protection ~90 hrs/yr Corrective Action Program ~250 hrs Biennially Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

Performance Thresholds 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 significance White: Low to moderate safety significance Yellow: Substantial safety significance Red: High safety significance

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
