NRC Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)
Performance Indicators (PIs)
- PIs consist of a variety plant data submitted by the licensees each quarter that demonstrates the reliability and availability of plant equipment and processes
- Verified by inspection To hear the audio portion of this presentation, dial 800-369-1159 and enter participant code 6818485#
