ACCEPTING RISK IN DECISION-MAKING JOHN LUBINSKI, DIRECTOR OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS

IMPRESSIONS FROM THE JAM

  • Most decisions involve a mix of technical, policy, resource, and other considerations, and all decisions need to fit within a legal framework. - Susan Vrahoretis, OGC
  • Should the question not be so much "how to risk-inform?" (since I think we already do that for the most part) as "how far should we increase our risk tolerance? or how to weigh risk tolerance vs #1 on the risk triplet" (which I think we may say we do accept the risk, but when something doesnt work out like we want, we are not able to accept the risk). - Michelle Burgess, NMSS
  • Theres a ton of risk-informed material out thereMaybe were doing too much -

can we use baby steps and put together one underlying agency definition which can work across the board for all offices? - Jeff Circle, NRR 17

OUR CURRENT STATE

  • Variability in understanding risk and using risk tools
  • Different tolerances for accepting risk
  • Inconsistency across and within Offices and programs
  • Disparity with technical, legal, and corporate decision-making 18

OUR DESIRED STATE

  • Aligned with being a modern, risk-informed regulator
  • Shared understanding of risk and acceptance of risk
  • Consistently applied to technical, legal, and corporate decisions 19

HOW WILL WE GET THERE?

  • Develop common language for risk and acceptance
  • Connect current initiatives to the vision of being a modern, risk-informed regulator
  • Identify and communicate tools and guidance
  • Establish meaningful metrics for accepting risk 20

BEST PRACTICE: EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVE ON RISK FROM COSO Figure: Focus on Decision-Making Source: Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 21

BEST PRACTICE: RISK TRIPLET 22

WHAT DOES ACCEPTING RISK MEAN?

  • Accepting that we use risk insights in decision-making, including radiological risk, enterprise risk, litigative risk, etc.
  • Accepting appropriate levels of risk in the decisions we make
  • Accepting risk personally in adapting our behaviors around decision-making 23

ACCEPTING RISK IN RULEMAKING

  • Evaluating and implementing process changes that are risk-informed:
  • Determine if a regulatory basis is needed
  • Streamlining the concurrence process
  • Rigorously applying regulatory analysis to all regulatory products 24

TECHNOLOGY DAVID NELSON, CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER OFFICE OF THE CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

  • We need to develop staff in technology competency and motivate the staff to seek IT solutions for any of their repetitive work. - Jinsuo Nie, RES
  • How can we better utilize the data/information/IT systems we have to simplify/get access to the information needed to make good decisions? - Andrea Kock, NMSS 26

TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE
