REGION V FY-1985 REGIONAL OPERATING PLAN (Revision 2)

(August 16, 1985) l

\

l Note: This Revision (Revision 2) of the Heaton V Operating Plan contains -

resource allocation changes that were made as a result of the Region V end of third quarter review. These chanses were coordinated with the affected Proram Offices, IE NRR, and NMSS during August 1985, i

l I. Introduction The Regional Operating Plan is a statement of the major program objectives of Region V for FY 85. This plan implements the guidance included in the Policy and Planning Guide (PPG), EDO Program Guidance, and program office guidance.

These guidance documents are an integral part of the Regional Operating Plan.

This plan also reflects the decisions of the EDO and the Commission during the FY 1986-1987 budget review cycle.

I

The Operating Plan specifically identifies the Region V programmatic Decision Units and the related resources. The resources, work actions and schedules l for each Planned Accomplishment will be agreed upon by the Region and the Program Office. .The performance standards, which the Program Offices will use to evaluate the adequacy of the Regional performance, are contained in the '

body of the Operating Plan under each Program Of fice Decision Unit. The [

performance standards which the Regional Administrator is to be reviewed against by the EDO are those specifically identified in the SES contracts.

Additionally, the Plan provides a basis for the mid-year and end-of-year resource and program reviews.

Individual Planned Accomplishments are defined in the body of the Operating Plan ut. der each Program Of fice Decision Unit. Performance of the identified Program Planned Accomplishments within the time frames and resources allotted, assumes normal workload requirements. Unexpected shifts in workload ,

requirements, which require a reallocation of resources, as related to problem facilities or unique activities, and the resultant impact upon routine >

programs, are to be coordinated and resolved with the responsible Program i Office, and they will be included in updates of the Operating Plan.*

4 III. Inspection and Enforcement Programs A. Ove rview The purpose of the Inspection and Enforcement (IE) program is: (1) to determine through inspection whether licensees comply with NRC regulations and whether licensees adequately protect the public health and safety and the environment; and (2) to maintain ef fective and uniform enforcement. The IE Regional workload consists mainly of: (1) reactors under construction; (2) reactors in operation; (3) vendors and quality assurance; (4) enforcement, technical support, and incident response; (5) fuel cycle and materials; and (6) specialized technical training.

Regional offices inspect licensees, initiate (and largely com;lete) enforcement actions, systematically assess licensee performance, respond to incidents, and provide inspection related support to IE, OI, and other offices.

B. Decision Unit 1 - Reactors Under Construction The Reactors Under Construction inspection program consists of independent, routine (scheduled), and reactive (unscheduled) inspections by resident and region-based inspectors. Residents assume a portion of the inspection activity previously conducted by region-based inspectors, substantially increasing direct verification of licensee performance through direct observation and independent measurements.

] C. Decision Unit 2 - Reactors in Operation Resources associated with the Reactors in Operation program are utilized l for independent, routine (scheduled), and reactive (unscheduled) I inspections. Nuclear reactors inspected are: power reactors in pre-operations testing, startup testing, and power operation; and nonpower (test and research) reactors. The inspection program will l B continue to place emphasis on direct observation of plant operations at each nuclear reactor unit. A significant portion of this effort is I

l performed by resident inspectors. Inspection program emphasis for the resident inspectors is placed on observation of licensee practices and on I operational safety verification. Region-based inspectors inspect in specialize.d areas and otherwise supplement the inspection program performed by the Resident Inspectors.

~

Quality implementation of inspection programs, including' completion of the ninimum inspection program, substantial completionJof the basic program, and completion of supplemental inspections as needed within the time' limits specified by applicable Manual Chapters and agreed upon by the Regional and the Program Offices, is considered fully successful performance. Quality. implementation of inspection programs, as described for fully successful performance, that are well managed as indicated by

- full utilization of SALP findings' and that _ demonstrate an in-depth, evaluative inspection approach constitutes outstanding performance.

D. Decision Unit 3~- Vendors and Quality Assurance.

Resources for Vendor Inspection are in IE. Regional Resources in other

' Decision Units will be used to coordinate and follow-up on licensee issues associated with IE vendor inspections. Resources for Quality Assurance are primarily in IE, but some Regional staffing will be required for licensing changes to already licensed QA programs- Regional resources for QA program inspections are provided in Decision Units 1 and

2. There'also will be some Regional participation in the IDI program.

Anticipated Workload The workload is not well defined. The amount of actual work performed on this decision unit will be dependent upon the QA-Licensing change requests-received and the number of IDI inspections performed.

N Performance Standards For fully successful performance, 85 percent of the estimated site visits are conducted, unless cancelled by the utility, within the in-house and contract resources allotted. Examinations are conducted in accordance with the Delegation of Operator Licensing. Authority and NUREG-1021,

" Operator Licensing Examiner Standards." Examinations are scheduled sufficiently in advance such that licensee schedules are accommodated with minimum delay in OL decisions. For operating reactors, examinations are scheduled to ensure that the licensee can meet all NRC imposed staffing requirements provided that the licensee proposes examinations in advance. Evaluation of program management is favorable by NRR.

Outstanding performance is conducting greater than 95% of the estimated examinations at operating reactors, including requalification audit examinations, coupled with highly favorable evaluation of program management by NRR.

Note that impact on facility schedules or operations due to high failure rates that are sustained by Headquarters OLB on request for regrade or appeal is not considered to be a failure to meet these standards.
