C. Miller UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 MEMORANDUM TO:
Russell Felts, Director Division of Reactor Oversight Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM:
David M. Aird, Chief Reactor Assessment Branch Division of Reactor Oversight Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
REACTOR OVERSIGHT PROCESS PERFORMANCE METRIC REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024 The Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) self-assessment (SA) program evaluates the ROP effectiveness by measuring its success in meeting its pre-established ROP goals and intended outcomes. The staff performed the calendar year (CY) 2024 performance metric analysis in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0307, Reactor Oversight Process Self-Assessment Program, effective May 3, 2022 (ML21341B399) and IMC 0307 Appendix A, Reactor Oversight Process Self-Assessment Metrics and Data Trending, effective June 14, 2023 (ML23125A179).
Under Element 1 of the ROP SA process in IMC 0307, the staff measures the implementation of the current ROP using objective and measurable performance metrics. Each ROP performance metric is aligned with a specific Principle of Good Regulation: independence (I), openness (O),
efficiency (E), clarity (C), or reliability (R). Each metric listed in IMC 0307, Appendix A, has a pre-established definition and pre-established thresholds to categorize the results of each metric as either green, yellow, or red. If a metric is green, it meets or exceeds expected performance; if yellow, it warrants further evaluation and potential staff action to correct; and if red, it represents unexpected performance and warrants further evaluation and likely staff action to address the cause.
The staffs detailed evaluation of the ROP performance metrics for CY 2024 can be found in the enclosure. Overall, the staff found that, of the 17 evaluated ROP performance metrics, 16 were green and one was yellow. The yellow metric was previously evaluated as yellow for CY 2022 and CY 2023. There were no red metrics for CY 2024.
