Our Mission License and regulate nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment.
- Establishing rules and regulations
- Issuing licenses
- Providing oversight through inspection, enforcement, and evaluation of operational experience
- Conducting research to provide support for regulatory decisions
- Responding to events and emergencies 5
Some Nuclear Facts
- 104 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.
- Nuclear materials are used in medicine for diagnosis and cancer treatment.
- Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, such as in density gauges, flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and irradiators.
6
The NRC Regulates
- Nuclear reactors - commercial power reactors, research and test reactors, new reactor designs
- Nuclear materials - nuclear reactor fuel, radioactive materials for medical, industrial, and academic use
- Nuclear waste - transportation, storage and disposal of nuclear material and waste, decommissioning of nuclear facilities
- Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks 7
What We Dont Do
- Regulate nuclear weapons, military reactors, or space vehicle reactors
- Own or operate nuclear power plants
- Regulate some radioactive materials, such as X-rays and naturally occurring radon 8

Degraded Cornerstone Column 15
Summary of Safety Significant Findings Plant continues to operate safely, but performance has degraded
- Operator leaves his post - Confirmatory Order
(low to moderate safety significance)
(low to moderate safety significance)
- Complicated shutdown caused by fault during work on an electric panel -
(substantial safety significance) 16

NRCs Response to Issues 2011
- Routine inspections ~ 2500 hours0.0289 days <br />0.694 hours <br />0.00413 weeks <br />9.5125e-4 months <br />
- Additional inspections to address plant issues - over 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> 18
Palisades Inspection Activities January 1 - December 31, 2011
- Special Inspection Team - Complicated shutdown caused by electrical fault 19
Assessment Summary
- Palisades continues to operate safely
- NRC placed Palisades in Column III of the Action Matrix (Degraded Cornerstone) in 4th quarter 2011
- Substantive Cross-cutting Issues (SCCIs) -
three in human performance area
- Conservative Assumptions
- Adequate Procedures
- Effective Oversight
- If the NRC determines the plant is not operating safely, we will shut down the plant 20
NRCs Response to Issues 2012
- NRC will do routine/baseline activity
- NRC will do follow-up inspections on all three greater than green findings and confirmatory order
- NRC will independently evaluate the issues
- Adequate actions to prevent the issue from occurring again
- Determine if the condition that existed could exist in other equipment
- Determine the root/underlying causes and evaluate if those causes could lead to other events
- Determine if problems with safety culture caused or significantly contributed to the events 21
