Plan for Assessing COVID-19 Effects on the ROP Inspection Program for 2020 ROP Self-Assessment Phil McKenna Special Assistant NRR/DRO November 18, 2020 Oversiegulation 1
The CY 2020 ROP Self-Assessment Process 2
Was the ROP implemented per governance documents and uniformly across all offices and regions?
Did the ROP meet its Program Goals?
Did the ROP meet its Intended Outcomes?
Did ROP execution adhere to the NRC Principles of Good Regulation?
How Do We Know that the ROP Continues to be Effective?
ROP Self-Assessment Program
The Revised ROP Self-Assessment Program Provides a Robust, Data-Driven Evaluation of ROP Effectiveness 3
CY 2020 ROP Self-Assessment Activities:
- ROP Performance Metrics & Data Trending
- ROP Program Area Evaluations
- Region IV ROP Implementation Audit
- 2 Effectiveness Reviews
- Continuous Monitoring of Trends in Baseline Inspection Procedure Implementation
Three memoranda issued to the regions to specify Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) implementation expectations
- Two of the memos are still in effect: April 6, 2020 (ML20097E538) and May 28, 2020 (ML20141L766)
- Initial guidance was resident inspectors on site about every 3 days. Site presence was expanded by the May 28 memo
- Residents keep close communication with plant management and staff on plant conditions while on telework
- ROP implementation during PHE must be flexible based on specific COVID-19 conditions in and around plant site and state/local restrictions
- Emphasis placed on inspector health and safety Goal is to complete minimum inspections samples for the 2020 inspection cycle 4
COVID-19 Inspection Guidance
- It is already known that we will most likely have a few Red metrics for 2020
- ROP Completion will most likely be Red due to a few incomplete IP 71111.20, Refueling and Other Outage Activities.
- Containment walkdown prior to closure not accomplished for a few plants.
- Program is still on track to complete minimum baseline samples
- Some team inspections will move into CY 2021
- Of the 18 IMC 0307 metrics, 2 metrics will not be measured for CY 2020:
- Inspector Objectivity and Performance Reviews by Supervisors (Metric I-4)
- Resident Inspector Objectivity Visits to Other Sites (Metric I-3)
- The results of the ROP Self-Assessment will discuss team inspections that were moved into CY2021 and give an assessment for completion of the current 3 year cycle that began in CY2020.
