5/18/98 COMMENT RESOLUTION-In their vote sheets, Commissioners Dicus and McGaffigan approved only those l
elements of Option 2 associated with the current staff practice ofinferring licensee
- management performance from performance-based inspections, routine assessments,
. and event follow up. Although Chairman Jackson also approved Option 2, she would L
'also have permitted the staff to proceed to develop g'uidance to improve the quality and consistency of licensee management (Option 2 as envisioned by the staff and described in SECY-98-059) and would have directed the staff to prepare a report on g
i available staff research results that address the extent to which direct indicatorc can be identified for management performance, safety culture, effective site communications,
- and the degree to which an organization can be characterized as a " learning
! organization," as well as an assessment of the state-of-the-art in assessing
. management competency. Commissioner Diaz preferred Option 1, which would have
[
permitted the staff to continue'to conduct performance-based inspections, but
.' eliminated staff attempts to_ infer or articulate conclusions regarding the performance or L
. competency of licensee management. In his comments, Commissioner Diaz also
' indicated he would direct the staff to discontinue all efforts to develop a comprehensive
~
and direct assessment of licensee management as a leading indicator of plant performance, a process to assess management performance on an ' ongoing basis, and a separate category of management and organization within the assessment process.
During consideration of the' draft SRM, all Commissioners agreed to the text of the SRM issued on June 29,1998.
