NRC Performance Goals z Safety: Ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment z Security: Ensure the secure use and management of radioactive materials z Openness: Ensure openness in our regulatory process z Effectiveness: Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely z Management: Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRC strategic objective

Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Baseline Inspection Performance Indicator Results Results Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Action Matrix Regulatory Response

Examples of Baseline Inspections z Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr z Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs z Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr z Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr z Rad Release Controls ~110 hrs every 2 yrs z Worker Radiation Protection ~90 hrs/yr z Corrective Action Program ~250 hrs every 2 yrs z Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

Significance Threshold Performance Indicators Green: Baseline Inspection White: Increased NRC oversight Yellow: Requires more NRC oversight Red: Requires more NRC oversight Inspection Findings Green: Very low safety issue White: Low to moderate safety issue Yellow: Substantial safety issue Red: High safety issue
