NRC Mission Statement

  • The NRC licenses and regulates the nation's civilian use of radioactive materials to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety and to promote the common defense and security and to protect the environment To hear the audio portion of this presentation, dial 888-769-9038 and enter participant 8513898# 10

NRC Response to COVID-19

  • NRC continues to monitor licensee operations and maintains the ability to rapidly respond to safety or security-related events
  • Resident Inspectors make less frequent but regular visits to sites
  • Residents use remote monitoring when not on site
  • Currently deferring very few inspections and plan to complete the baseline by year end To hear the audio portion of this presentation, dial 888-769-9038 and enter participant 8513898# 11

NRC Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)

The ROP is implemented in each of the four NRC regions Involves both inspection and assessment Implemented by regional inspectors and onsite resident NRC inspectors Includes performance indicators (PIs) submitted by licensees each quarter which measure the reliability and availability of plant equipment and processes To hear the audio portion of this presentation, dial 888-769-9038 and enter participant 8513898# 12

NRC Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)

Column I Column II Column III Column IV Column V Licensee Regulatory Degraded Multiple / Unacceptable Response Response Performance Repetitive Performance Degraded Cornerstone

  • NRC Action Matrix
  • Licensee Response column is baseline inspection (issues of very low safety significance)
  • Increase in number of findings of significance moves licensee to the right in the matrix
  • Moving to the right leads to increased NRC Oversight (Supplemental Inspections, higher level engagement with plant management)
