Audit Report AUDIT OF THE NRC OVERSIGHT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION CORRECTIVE ACTIONS OIG-19-A-19 Status of Recommendations Recommendation 1: Update NRC inspection guidance to support documentation of significant planned corrective actions associated with 95001 and 95002 supplemental inspections.
Agency Response Dated October 10, 2019: The staff agrees with the recommendation and plans to update the NRC inspection guidance to support documentation of significant planned corrective actions associated with 95001 and 95002 supplemental inspections.
Specifically, the staff plans to update Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0611, Appendix C, the governance for documenting Supplemental Inspection Procedures (IPs) 95001 and 95002, and other governance, as necessary, by August 31, 2020.
