OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

a. Inspection Scope

Cornerstone:

Emergency Preparedness

The inspector sampled licensee submittals for three Performance Indicators (PI) listed below. For each of the submittals reviewed, the inspector reviewed the period from January 2007 through December 2007. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, ARegulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline,@ Revision 5, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.

$ Emergency Response Organization Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)

$ Emergency Response Organization Readiness (ERO)

$ Alert and Notification System Reliability (ANS)

The inspectors reviewed portions of the raw PI data developed from monthly performance indicator reports and discussed the methods for comp iling and repor ting the PIs with cognizant emergency preparedness personnel. The inspector also independently screened drill and exercise opportunity evaluations, drill participation reports, and drill evaluati ons. Selected reported values were calculated to verify their accuracy. The inspectors compared graphical representations from the most recent PI report to the raw data to verify that the data was correctly reflected in the report.

Reviewed documents are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.
