UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 19, 2018 ALL AGREEMENT STATES, WYOMING, AND VERMONT ISSUANCE OF 2017 FOCUSED SELF-ASSESSMENT OF INTERGRATED MATERIALS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROGRAM REPORT (STC-18-041)
Purpose:
To issue the enclosed 2017 focused self-assessment of the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report (ML17187A100).
Background:
Based on a Charter approved by the Director, Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs and the Chairman of the Organization of Agreement States, a five-person team, comprised of staff from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Headquarters and Region III, and two Agreement States, was assembled to perform a focused, self-assessment of the NRC IMPEP. The 2017 self-assessment team focused on two common performance indicators, (1) Technical Staffing and Training and (2) Status of Materials Inspection Program, to determine if changes or enhancements are warranted. The 2017 focused, self-assessment team also reviewed the recommendations proposed by a 2010 IMPEP self-assessment team and the status of the adoption and implementation of those recommendations.
Discussion: Overall, the self-assessment team found the IMPEP process to be effective in fulfilling its objective of evaluating the adequacy and compatibility of Agreement State and NRC materials activities under the performance indicators Technical Staffing and Training and Status of Material Inspection Program. The team developed six recommendations to enhance the IMPEP process which are discussed in the enclosed report.
