MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman Jackson Commissioner Dicus Commissioner Diaz Commissioner McGaffigan FROM:
Commissioner Rogers k,
q
SUBJECT:
COMSECY-96-061: RISK-INFORMED, PERFORMANCE-BASED REGULATION, DSI-12 After a review of the Phase II Stakeholder Interaction Report and after listening to the Steering Committee briefing on January 13, l
I am in agreement with the commission's preliminary views.
I have not seen anything in the Strategic Assessment and Rebaselining process, including the other direction setting issue papers, that calls into question the basic direction established 1
by the PRA Implementation Plan.
If there are ways the implementation of PRA can be improved (Option 3), those should certainly be pursued.
I believe that some urgency should be assigned to establishing an objective standard (s) for the 1
application of risk informed, performance based regulation, j
perhaps in the form of individual plant safety goals.
I would i
also encourage the staff to ensure that any relevant knowledge developed in the implementation of the maintenance rule be fully utilized in the development of risk-informed regulation.
This Direction Setting Issue is obviously closely related to DSI-11, Operating Reactor Program Oversight, and DSI-13, Role of Industry.
The staff should ensure that implementation plans developed for these issues are mutually compatible and do not create duplicate activities.
