' Data for indicators not common with INPO will continue to be collected and processed by the NRC staff.
The staff plans to spot check the INPO data to verify its general consistency with NRC information sources.
The plan does not preclude collecting or processing data needed but not provided by INPO, for the performance indicator program.
It also does not affect data activities in support of other programs or those in accordance with existing reporting requirements.
N The data obtained from INPO will be compiled with data i
prepared by the staff in the performance indicator report.
The report will identify that data provided by INPO.
This report, with the INPO supplied data, will be distributed to senior NRC management and the Commission for their use and will be placed in the Public Document Room.
When appropriate, senior NRC managers will review individual plant performance indicator data with senior utility management.
In summary, the coordination plan should helo ensure the proper use of performance indicators in the interest of improving operational safety.
OGC has assisted in the development of this coordination plan and has no legal objectioninitsimplementation.
INPO has orally agreed to the coordination plan.
Following the approval of the coordination plan, the E00 will issue a policy statement to the staff, as directed by i
the Commission in the Secretary's memorandum of December 30, 1986, that will include the principles and approaches described in the coordination plan. Also, licensees will be notified of the NRC policy with respect to the use of performance indicators.
Recommendation:
That the Commission:
l Approve the coordination plan for NRC/INPO use of performance indicators provided in Enclosure 1.
l
\\
Scheduling:
Timely action by the Commission will:
(1) facilitate finalization of the policy statement and coordination with INPO, (2) provide a reduction in duplication of NRC/INPO 1

i
g NRC/INPO Coordination Plan Appendix Five Page 2 o INPO promotes utility line management use of the performance indicators as a goal-setting and performance-trending tool for the utilities.
C.
In view of these considerations, NRC and INP0 agree on the following:
1.
NRC has Wentified seven overall performance indicators which will be used in its trending program.
Four are in common with the INPO effort and three are unique to NRC's program.-
INPO collects data for certain performance indicators from each nuclear station on a quarterly basis.
INPO will provide data for the four that are in common (unplanned automatic scrams, forced outage rate, personnel radiation exr,osure, and unplanned safety system actuations) to the NRC on a qut.rterly basis.
NRC will obtain the data unique to its program from existing data sources and will obtain the data for the common performance indicators from INPO, thereby precluding the need for additional requests of utilities.
It is recognized that NRC may desire to spot check the data received from time to time.
It is also recognized that NRC or INPO may expand or otherwise modify its present performance indicators program from time to time.
2.
INPO and NRC will coordinate performance indicator development in order to reduce duplication or parallel efforts.
3.
NRC and INPO interactions with utilities concerning performance indicators will be conducted at the senior management level (of NRC, INPO, and the utility) to avoid perceived or real pressure at the working level that could cause a misuse of performance indicators which could detract from safety.
4.
INPO will not write evaluation findings based specifically on a nuclear plant's performance indicators.
NRC will not write deviations or violations or SALP findings based specifically on performance indicators.
It is recognized that both organizations will write findings covering shortfalls that may contribute to poor performance.
5.
NRC will combine the performance indicators received from INPO with indicators prepared by NRC and will place the combined performance indicator data in the Public Document Room.
