CATEGORY 1 - Superior Licensee attention and involvement have been properly focused on safety and resulted in a superior level of safety performance.
Licensee programs and
. procedures have provided effective controls.
The licensee's self-assessment efforts have been effective in the identification of emergent issues.
Corrective actions are technically sound, comprehensive. and thorough.
1 Recurring problems are eliminated and resolution of issues is timely.
Root cause analyses are thorough.
CATEGORY 2 - Good Licensee attention and involvement are normally well-focused and resulted in a good level of safety performance.
Licensee programs and procedures normally provide the necessary control of activities, but deficiencies may exist.
The licensee's self-assessments are normally good, although issues may escape identification.
Corrective actions are usually effective, although some may not be complete.
Root cause analyses are normally thorough.
CATEGORY 3 - Acceptable Licensee attention and involvement have resulted in an acce3 table. level of safety performance.
However, licensee performance may exhiait one or more of the following characteristics.
Licensee programs and procedures have not provided sufficient control of activities in important areas. The licensee's self-assessment efforts may not occur until after a potential problem becomes apparent. A clear understanding of the safety implications of significant issues may not have been demonstrated.
Numerous minor issues combine to indicate that the licensee's corrective action is not thorough.
Root cause analyses do not probe deep enough, resulting in the incomplete resolution of issues.
Because the margin to unacceptable performance in important aspects is small, increased NRC and licensee attention is required.
