Additional Guidance to Clarify Figures
Inspectors will not use the Reator Oversight Process (ROP) screening process to screen
traditional-enforcement violations, but will use that process to screen their underlying
performance deficiencies if any exist. Inspectors will separate traditional enforcement violations
from their underlying performance deficiencies and screen those traditional enforcement
violations using the examples and guidance in the Enforcement Manual and Enforcement
Policy.
When dispositioning performance deficiencies associated with traditional enforcement
violations, inspectors will not consider the traditional enforcement aspect as part of the ROP
performance deficiency.
Figure 1, “Issue Screening”
 
==Block 1 Issue of concern identified==
An issue of concern is a well-defined observation or collection of observations that may have a
bearing on safety or security which may warrant further inspection, screening, evaluation, or
regulatory action.
For issues of concern with multiple examples, inspectors will screen each example separately.
On rare occasions, an inspector may identify an issue of concern that is neither a regulatory
requirement nor an accepted licensee standard which may warrant consideration under the
backfit process due to its perceived impact on safety or security. Inspectors identifying such an
issue of concern should raise the concern to management and refer to Management
Directive 8.4, “Management of Facility-specific Backfitting and Information Collection.”
Block TE1 Is there a potentially willful violation?
Although inspectors screen issues of concern for indications of potentially willful violations, the
determination of willfulness is a legal decision that can only be made by the Office of the
General Council (OGC) using facts developed during an investigation conducted by Office of
Investigations (OI), normally at the recommendation of the Allegation Review Board (ARB).
See the Enforcement Policy, Enforcement Manual, and Allegation Manual for additional insights
involving willfulness. See 10 CFR 50.5 for regulations addressing deliberate misconduct.
Block TE2 Does traditional enforcement or enforcement discretion apply?
If any of the following questions can be answered „yes‟, the inspector will compare the violation
with examples in the Enforcement Policy to determine if the violation rises to SL-IV or above
and thus constitutes a non-minor traditional enforcement violation.
1. Was there a violation that impacted the regulatory process? Examples:
Failure to provide complete and accurate information
Failure to receive prior NRC approval for changes in licensed activities
Failure to notify the NRC of changes in licensed activities
Failure to perform 10 CFR 50.59 analyses
Reporting failure, etc.
Issue Date: 09/07/12 B-4 0612 App B
Block TE2 Does traditional enforcement or enforcement discretion apply?
2. Was there a violation that contributed to actual safety consequences? Examples:
Actual onsite or offsite releases of radiation exceeding regulatory limits
Onsite or offsite radiation exposures exceeding regulatory limits
Accidental criticalities
Core damage
Loss of significant safety barriers
Loss of control of radiological material exceeding regulatory limits for public dose
Radiological emergencies
3. Is there a SL-IV or greater violation with no associated performance deficiency?
Circumstances may arise where enforcement discretion should be considered or exercised to
either escalate or mitigate enforcement sanctions or otherwise refrain from taking enforcement
action for a particular violation. The Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual describe
situations where this may apply. Specific circumstances may include:
Specific cases for which temporary Enforcement Guidance Memoranda prescribes
enforcement discretion
Non-minor violations absent a performance deficiency
Violations identified during extended shutdowns or work stoppages
Violations involving old design issues
Violations identified because of previous enforcement action
Violations involving certain discrimination issues
Note: Independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSI), and nuclear materials facilities are
not subject to the Significance Determination Process (SDP) and, thus, traditional enforcement
will be used for these facilities and their associated license.
 
==Block 2 Is there a performance deficiency?==
The issue of concern is a performance deficiency if the answer to both of the following
questions is “yes”:
Was the issue of concern the result of the licensee‟s failure to meet a requirement or
standard? (A standard includes a self-imposed standard such as a voluntary initiative or
a standard required by regulation)
Was the cause of the issue of concern reasonably within the licensee‟s ability to foresee
and correct and should the issue of concern have been prevented?
Notes: (1) The performance deficiency is the proximate cause of the degraded condition and is
not the degraded condition. To determine this cause, inspectors need not complete a rigorous
root-cause evaluation, but instead may complete an evaluation based on reasonable inspector
assessment and judgment.
(2) Inspectors should not define a performance deficiency at a fundamental level, such as
defining a performance deficiency as a management weakness or as a cross-cutting area.
(3) Enforcement Manual Section 2.13.8 discusses grouping closely related violations into an
enforcement “problem”. Considering this guidance, inspectors or SERP members may define
or redefine a performance deficiency at the problem level and thereby create a relationship
between one performance deficiency and many violations.
When evaluating the licensee‟s failure to meet a requirement or standard, the inspector should
consider the licensee‟s intent:
Issue Date: 09/07/12 B-5 0612 App B
Block 2 Is there a performance deficiency?
By definition, the licensee intends to meet regulatory requirements, including license
conditions and Technical Specifications.
The inspector can generally conclude the licensee intends to meet standards
established in current licensing basis documents. LIC-100, “Control of Licensing Bases
for Operating Reactors,” provides insights into what documents may constitute current
licensing basis.
Failure to meet an industry standard constitutes a performance deficiency only if the
licensee intended to meet that standard. Inspectors may reasonably conclude that
standards implemented via licensee procedures or as Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)
initiatives committed to by the industry are standards that the licensee intended to meet.
The inspector should focus on whether the licensee met regulatory requirements in an
acceptable manner rather than whether the licensee met the requirements in a manner
specifically approved in a generic communication.
 
==Block 3 Is the performance deficiency More-than-Minor?==
If the answer to any of the following questions is “yes,” then the performance deficiency is
More-than-Minor and is a finding. If the answer to all of the following questions is “no,” then
the performance deficiency is minor and is not a finding.
Could the performance deficiency reasonably be viewed as a precursor to a significant
event?
If left uncorrected, would the performance deficiency have the potential to lead to a more
significant safety concern?
Does the performance deficiency relate to a performance indicator that would have
caused the performance indicator to exceed a threshold?
Is the performance deficiency associated with one of the cornerstone attributes listed at
the end of this attachment and did the performance deficiency adversely affect the
associated cornerstone objective?
Inspectors should consider using IMC 0612, Appendix E, “Examples of Minor Issues,” to
inform answers to the screening questions listed above.
 
==Block 4 Does the finding screen to Green?==
Inspectors will screen all findings using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, “Phase 1 – Initial Screening
and Characterization of Findings” worksheet. Any finding which cannot be determined to be
Green will require a Significance Enforcement Review Panel (SERP).
 
==Block 5 Is the finding licensee-identified?==
In determining whether a finding is licensee-identified, NRC-identified, or self-revealing, a
measure of subjectivity is anticipated and accepted. To make these determinations, inspectors
and regional staff should consider not only the definitions of these terms, but also past
experience, related precedents, and the over-arching regulatory message that the determination
could send.
 
==Block 6 Identify appropriate cross-cutting aspect(s)==
To identify an appropriate cross-cutting aspect for a finding, the inspector will:
Review applicable causal information related to the finding to identify the cause(s) of the
performance deficiency. (To identify causes, inspectors need not perform independent
Issue Date: 09/07/12 B-6 0612 App B
 
==Block 6 Identify appropriate cross-cutting aspect(s)==
causal evaluations beyond what would be appropriate for the complexity of the issue.
For the most-complex issues, inspectors may need to complete informal apparent-cause
evaluations.)
Among those causes, identify the performance characteristic that is the either the
primary cause of the performance deficiency or the most-significant contributor to it.
Select the cross-cutting aspect listed in IMC 0310 that best reflects the performance
characteristic that is the most significant contributor to the finding (i.e., determine which
cross-cutting aspect provides the most meaningful insight into why the finding occurred.)
A cross-cutting aspect is a finding characteristic which inversely relates to the reason
why the performance deficiency occurred. The cross-cutting aspect is not a finding.
Note that:
Typically, the staff will assign no more than one cross-cutting aspect to a finding. On
rare occasions, when the regional staff considers that a unique or complex inspection
finding warrants more than one cross-cutting aspect, before associating more than one
cross-cutting aspect to any finding, the regional office will contact the Performance
Assessment Branch Chief (NRR/DIRS/IPAB) for concurrence.
For a finding to have multiple examples, the same cross-cutting aspect should be
associated with each example, consistent with Enforcement Manual Section 2.13.7.
(Unless examples have the same cross-cutting aspect, they can‟t be examples of the
same finding.)
 
==Block 7 Consider a URI==
Inspectors should open a Unresolved Item (URI) when an inspection must exit pending receipt
of information required to determine one of the following:
If there is a performance deficiency
If the performance deficiency is More-than-Minor
If the issue of concern is a violation
Note: Inspectors may not use a URI to obtain more information to determine the significance of
a finding.

Figure 2, “Issue Screening (Traditional Enforcement)”
 
===Block TE3 Can ROP screening proceed without compromising investigation?===
Each issue of concern warranting a willfulness investigation triggers a process to determine
whether disposition of the associated ROP performance deficiency may proceed without
compromising the OI investigation.
Generally, to preclude the possibility of compromising an ongoing willfulness investigation,
inspectors should suspend ROP disposition activities that require licensee interaction until the
investigation is complete. However, because SDP insights developed during issue
dispositioning are integral to dispositioning most traditional enforcement violations, inspectors
should disposition ROP performance deficiencies in a timely manner. So, to balance these
competing considerations, whenever ROP disposition activities could possibly compromise an
ongoing investigation, the Directors (or their designees) of the OI Field Office, DIRS, the
associated Regional Division of Reactor Projects or Safety, and OE should reach a consensus
decision on whether ROP dispositioning should be suspended or may proceed during the
investigation. The parties involved in this decision should ensure that their specific concerns
are considered in order to achieve the two desired agency outcomes – a valid and defendable
ROP finding and a valid and defendable violation within the enforcement program.
If the decision is to suspend ROP dispositioning, then as soon as the investigation is sufficiently
complete or whenever new information arises that might otherwise warrant reevaluating that
decision, the parties involved in the decision should revisit the decision, and change it if change
is warranted.
 
Block TE4 Wait for completion of investigation
This block requires enhanced coordination to preclude the possibility of compromising an
ongoing investigation by proceeding, prematurely, with ROP disposition activities while
simultaneously assuring that ROP disposition activities are not delayed longer than necessary.
Block TE5 Does investigation confirm a willful violation?
In accordance with the Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual, OI, upon concluding its
investigation will issue a conclusion about willfulness based on the facts collected/developed
during investigation. Using the facts/conclusion above, OGC will make a final determination
about willfulness.
 
Block TE6 Screen performance deficiency (Figure 1 Block 3)
The absence of a finding may influence but does not preclude the potential to confirm a willful
violation, though it may influence the determination of its severity level and/or civil penalty.
Similarly, the presence of a finding does not preclude the potential to confirm no willful violation.
However, if a willful violation is determined to exist, it may influence the determination of its
severity level and/or civil penalty.
 
===Block TE7 Confirmed willful violation===
To disposition violations involving confirmed willfulness, inspectors shall coordinate with the
Office of Enforcement through the Regional Enforcement Coordinator. Additional guidance is
contained in the Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual.
A violation may be considered more significant than the underlying noncompliance if involves
Issue Date: 09/07/12 B-8 0612 App B
Block TE7 Confirmed willful violation
willfulness. When determining the severity level of a willful violation, the NRC, in addition to
considering the willful aspects, considers the (1) actual safety consequences, (2) potential
safety consequences, including the consideration of risk information, and (3) potential for
impacting the NRC‟s ability to perform its regulatory function. A notice of violation is normally
required for a willful violation. However, a non-cited violation may still be appropriate. Refer to
the Enforcement Policy for additional guidance.
The approval of the Director, Office of Enforcement, with consultation with the Deputy Executive
Director as warranted, is required for dispositioning willful violations as non-cited violations.
Block TE8 Does the violation warrant enforcement discretion?
For violations involving enforcement discretion, inspectors shall coordinate their actions with the
Regional Enforcement Coordinator. Additional guidance is contained in the Enforcement Policy
and Enforcement Manual.
Some enforcement discretion decisions are made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with
the Office of Enforcement, while others may be instituted under a temporary Enforcement
Guidance Memorandum.
