Regulatory Response

Key Aspects of the Assessment Program

• Objective review of licensee performance

• "Action Matrix" identifies agency response commensurate with safety significance

• Increasing safety significance results in:

% Increased levels of inspection

> Involvement of higher levels of NRC and Licensee management

> Increased regulatory action

• Plant specific assessment information on NRC public web site:
