Fermi 2 Annual Assessment MeetingCY2006Reactor Oversight Program Monroe, MI April 5, 2007 Purpose of Today's MeetingA public forum for discussion of the licensee's performanceNRC will discuss the licensee performance
issues identified in the annual assessment letterLicensee will be given the opportunity to
respond to the information in the letter and
inform the NRC of new or existing programs to
maintain or improve their performance AgendaIntroduction Review of the Reactor Oversight ProcessNational Summary of Plant PerformanceDiscussion of Fermi 2 Plant PerformanceLicensee Response and RemarksNRC Closing RemarksBreakNRC available to address public questions James L.

- Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timelyManagement
- Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRC'sstrategic
objective Reactor Oversight Process3 Strategic Performance Areas are divided into 7 Cornerstones of SafetyFindings and Performance Indicators are assigned a
CornerstoneFindings can be assigned a cross-cutting aspect, which is a causal factor for the performance deficiency"Substantive Cross-Cutting Issues"can be determined if there are numerous findings with a common cross-
cutting aspect or themeHuman Performance, Problem Identification and Resolution, and Safety Conscious Work Environment SafetyCornerstonesSignificance ThresholdAction MatrixPerformance IndicatorResultsRegulatory ResponseStrategicPerformance AreasSafetyCornerstonesBaseline Inspection ResultsSignificance ThresholdSignificance ThresholdPerformance IndicatorResultsStrategicPerformance AreasAction Matrix Reactor Oversight Process Baseline Inspection ExamplesPost Maintenance Testing~80 hrs annual Equipment Alignment
