http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/wat_2005q4.pdf .

Overall, Waterford 3 operated safely during the period. The NRC uses color-coded inspection findings and performance indicators to assess nuclear power plant performance. The colors start with green and then increase to white, yellow or red, commensurate with the safety significance of the issues involved. Because all of the inspection findings and performance indicators for the plant during the last quarter of 2005 were determined to be green, Waterford 3 will receive a baseline (or routine) level of inspections during the upcoming assessment period.

Routine inspections are performed by two NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to the plant and by inspection specialists from the Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas. Among the areas of plant operations to be inspected during the next year by NRC specialists are emergency preparedness and radiological safety.

Current performance information for Waterford 3 is available on the NRC web site at:
