evolutions and surveillance testing. Corporate activities were not included in the scope of the evaluation, except as an incidental part of the station evaluation. As a basis for the evaluation,INPO used performance objectives and criteria relevant to each of the areas examined; these were applied and evaluated in light of the experience of team members,INPO's observations, and good practices within the industry.
INPO's goal is to assist member utilities in achieving the highest standards of excellence in nuclear plant operation. The recommendations in each area are based Accord-best practices, rather than minimum acceptable standard unsatisfactory performance.
