INSPECTION PLAN CORRECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION TEAM INSPECTION Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Inspection Report Number 50-346/2003010(DRS)
(Do not share this Inspection Plan with the licensee)
Inspection Objectives The 0350 Oversight Panel established for Davis Besse determined that a comprehensive review by the NRC was needed to assess the implementation of the licensees upgraded corrective action program. This is required to determine the effectiveness of the corrective action process in identifying, correctly assessing, and promptly correcting risk-significant findings.
In addition, this inspection will fulfill the baseline inspection program requirements for the biennial portion of inspection procedure 71152 (Identification and Resolution of Problems). The biennial inspection objectives are to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of licensee problem identification and resolution (PI&R) programs, including problem identification, evaluation, and resolution, based upon a performance-based review of specific issues; to look for instances where the licensee may have missed identifying potential generic concerns, including specific problems involving safety equipment, procedure development, or design control; and to assess whether conditions exist that would challenge the establishment of a safety conscious work environment. In addition, the team will also use applicable inspection guidance delineated in IP 93812 (Special Inspection).

III Lead Inspector Preparation Activities Information Requests As part of the inspection preparation, the team leader listed selected corrective action documents in tables below. The team will select the documents to be reviewed. In addition, the team leader will request the required information from the licensee and will ensure that the necessary information be conveyed to the inspection team.
If during the preparation week, additional information is determined to be necessary, please inform the team leader.
IV Team Preparation Activities Review of Material Each team member will review the licensee administrative procedures that control the identification, evaluation, and resolution of problems. These documents will be reviewed
to provide sufficient knowledge of the licensees revised corrective action program and process, as necessary to conduct an effective and efficient inspection.
Each team member will review documentation on licensee efforts to identify, resolve and prevent structure, system, and component performance problems through performance monitoring, root cause analysis, cause determination, and corrective action to meet the monitoring requirements of the maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65).
Preparation Meetings A team meeting will be held Monday, March 10, 2003, at 1:00pm. In this team meeting, the team leader will discuss the inspection plan and distribute available information provided by the licensee and specific inspector items for review and follow-up.
Additionally, during this meeting, the team leader will go over inspection logistics and answer team questions.
Over the next several days, each inspector, including the team leader shall review the provided documentation and select additional corrective action items to be reviewed.
Also, each inspector will become familiar with the requirements of the applicable NRC IPs.
Requests for Additional Information As soon as possible, but no later than noon on March 12, 2003, team members should provide to the team leader a list of any additional information and/or documents they want to have readily available on the first day of the inspection. The team leader will coordinate with the team members to ensure there is no duplication of efforts.
Selection of Specific Items for Review The samples chosen for review should include a range of issues including:
1.
Licensee identified issues (including issues identified during audits or self assessments);
2.
NRC identified issues; 3.
Issues identified through NRC generic communications; 4.
Issues identified through industry operating experience exchange mechanisms (including Part 21 reports, NSSS vendor reports, EPRI reports, experience reports from similar facilities, LERs);
5.
Specific or cross cutting issues identified by safety review committees or other management oversight mechanisms; 6.
Issues identified through employee concerns programs V.
Inspection Objectives The main objectives of the Corrective Action Team Inspection (CATI) are:
(1)
To determine if the corrective action process at Davis Besse is being effectively implemented to identify risk-significant conditions adverse to quality and if appropriate corrective action is taken to prevent recurrence of identified problems.
(2)
To determine if licensees identified problems in risk-significant systems were evaluated using a systematic method(s) to identify the correct root cause(s) and contributing cause(s).
(3)
To evaluate licensee's implementation of the corrective action program to address identified issues including determination of root cause(s), apparent cause(s), potential common cause(s), and extent of condition evaluation.
(4)
To review a sample of Restart corrective action items to determine if the corrective action items required to be accomplished prior to plant restart have been correctly characterized and actions had been completed in accordance with licensee and regulatory requirements.
(5)
To review a sample of Post Restart corrective action items to determine if they were properly classified to be addressed after restart.
(6)
To evaluate the licensee's effectiveness in assessing and correcting the risk-significant issues identified during the System Health Assurance/Readiness (SHRR, LIR and SFVP) Reviews.
(7)
To determine if the prioritization and schedule established by the licensee for implementing and completing the corrective actions is adequate and timely.
(8)
To accomplish applicable inspection activities required by Inspection Procedures 71152 and 93812.
(9)
To examine adequacy of the licensees corrective actions taken and proposed to address findings documented in selected LERs, and NRC inspection reports (URIs and NCVs) and determine if they are ready for closure.
(10)
To characterize any adverse trends or patterns including corrective actions that the licensee is taking, the status of program, or any additional trends that may not have been identified by the licensee.
(11)
To determine how the licensee measures effectiveness of the corrective action process (12)
To review the assigned items (CRs, URIs, NCVs, LERs etc..,) and focus on adequacy of licensees assessment to identify the correct root/apparent cause(s) and the effectiveness of the corrective action process in addressing these causes, including extent of condition.
(13)
To verify whether the licensee is reporting, in a timely manner, conditions that warrant 50.73 LERs or are they in violation of 50.73? (RAM item L-90)
(14)
To verify that the licensee is identifying risk-significant issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them in the corrective action program.
(15)
To review audits and self-assessments completed and planned to assess Corrective Action implementation.
(16)
Pay particular attention to repeat issues or identified problems that need rework.
Are these issues being trended ?
(17)
To ensure that licensee performance goals are not in conflict with the actions needed to correct performance issues and are in alignment throughout the organization.
General Guidance for Review of Condition Reports Review each condition report against the following performance attributes:
(1)
Did the licensee completely and accurately identify the problem in a timely manner, commensurate with its significance and ease of discovery?
(2)
Did the licensee properly and adequately evaluate and resolve of any operability or reportability issues?
(3)
Did the licensee consider the extent of condition, the generic implications, whether there might be a common cause, or if there have been previous occurrences? Assess the validity of the licensees conclusions regarding extent of condition, consideration should be given to whether multiple risk significant design or performance issues have been identified.
(4)
Did the licensee identify significant negative trends associated with human or equipment performance?
(5)
Did the licensee classify and prioritize the resolution of the problem, commensurate with its safety significance?
(6)
For any significant conditions adverse to quality, did the licensee identify the root and contributing causes of the problem?
(7)
Did the licensee identify appropriately focused corrective actions to correct the problem? For significant conditions adverse to quality, do the corrective actions address the root and contributing causes.?
(8)
Did the licensee complete the corrective actions in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance of the issue? Were extensions of corrective action due dates adequately justified? Was combining of several condition reports under one new condition report justified ? If permanent corrective actions require significant time to implement, then verify that interim corrective actions or compensatory actions have been identified and implemented to minimize the problem or mitigate its effects, until the permanent action could be implemented; (9)
In addition, for samples that involve maintenance rule issues, the inspector should verify the following:
(a)
The licensee has designated items under 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) as appropriate, (b)
Determine if corrective actions for 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) items are
- adequate, (c)
Review maintenance rule repetitive maintenance preventable functional failures (MPFFs) for indications of weaknesses in the licensees corrective action program. In addition, identify any problems with root cause analysis or cause determination and corrective action for items experiencing repetitive MPFFs or exceeding their goals or performance
- criteria, (d)
Ensure that risk assessment, risk management, and emergent work control problems associated with maintenance are identified and resolved promptly.
More Ticklers for review of Condition Reports Status Questions Is the CR open or closed?
How long has it been open?
If open, where is it in the process?
If closed, was closure timely?
Was closure based on a corrective action or an administrative action?
Characterization Questions At what significance level was this classified?
Do you agree with the classification?
Were all steps of the process completed properly (i.e., accurately and timely)?
Was an appropriate level of management involved?
Was proper department assigned responsibility?
Is the current level the same as originally assigned?
If not, was revision appropriate?
Analysis Questions Was a new or unique activity involved?

Did the licensee look for precursors?
Were human factors considered?
Were procedural problems considered?
Were environmental factors involved?
Was training considered?
Were all the people involved in the issue interviewed?
Was some form of oversight involved?
Resolution Questions
Is this a final or interim corrective action?
If interim, when is final anticipated?
What is impeding final corrective action?
Is corrective action focused on event itself or on root cause?
If this is a repeat event, what is different about this new corrective action?
If this is a repeat event, does it identify the inadequacy in the previous corrective action?
If a repeat, was previously defined corrective action completed and still in effect?
Was present corrective action approved by appropriate level of management?
How much of the current corrective action is already in place?
How long has corrective action been in place?
Does corrective action appear to be effective (staff engaged, no recurrence, etc)?
Does licensee have a follow-up mechanism in place to test effectiveness?
Team Assignments Successful completion of the CATIs inspection objectives and procedure requirements requires good planning and team work. Therefore, the team is being divided into areas with the following general assignments:
Electrical Engineering/Design/Management/Assessments -Zelig Falevits Electrical Engineering/Design/Operations -Marty Farber Electrical Engineering/OE/Maintenance-Al Walker Mechanical Engineering/Design/Operations -Patricia Lougheed Mechanical Engineering/Design-J. Panchison, Mechanical, Consultant Mechanical Engineering/Design - W. Sherbin, Mechanical, Consultant Electrical Engineering/Design-F. Baxter, Electrical, Consultant Effectiveness of Corrective Actions/audits/assessments - W. Bennett, Corrective Action, Consultant Within these areas, the intent is to ensure that all inspection attributes are met without duplication of effort. To ensure effective teamwork and knowledge sharing, a daily afternoon team meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. starting Tuesday March 18, 2003 which will focus on how assigned activities are being completed and what remains to be done to accomplish the inspection objectives.
Assessment of Corrective Action Program At the completion of the inspection, the team will develop a clear and concise discussion of the results of their review. An assessment of the licensees corrective action program/process, based on the inspection results developed during the inspection. By reviewing a sufficient number and breadth of samples, the team should be able to develop insights into the effectiveness of the licensees corrective action process.
Compare the results of the teams findings with the results of the licensees findings, audits and assessments of the corrective action process.
IV Issues and Findings The Risk Informed Inspection Notebook and the Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station have been developed and approved.
Inspectors shall address the questions of Manual Chapter 0612 and process the finding
through phase 2 of the SDP as necessary. Green findings will be documented in the inspection report. Findings that appear to be "other than green" shall be immediately discussed with the team leader, the licensee and the senior reactor analyst, to ensure that Davis Besse PRA information is correctly considered. Enforcement action for green or non-SDP issues will be handled in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.
Unless an issue can be shown to be greater than minor, additional inspection time (over approx. 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />) should not be spent. If an issue appears greater than minor, then sufficient questions need to be asked of the licensee to enable the inspectors to confirm any assumptions and complete the Phase 1 and 2 worksheets. If a color cannot be determined by the end of the inspection, the issue will be described as an "unresolved item," pending final determination of the appropriate risk significance. Some flexibility will be allowed for documenting non-green observations due to the nature of the inspection.
V Documentation Inspection findings normally result in a number of questions being raised. These questions are to be given to the licensee verbally or, if written, the licensee must copy the information and the inspector must retain the written document. As part of the daily interfaces with the licensee, the team leader will go over the status of outstanding questions. Therefore, the team members need to keep the team leader informed of any concerns with timeliness or quality of responses to questions. Lack of response to questions will not be accepted as a reason for any delay in providing an input unless the team leader has been informed prior to the exit and the issue is one that will necessitate a writeup in the report. Any document requests generated on the day of the exit or afterwards must be approved by the team leader, must pertain to areas already inspected, and must be only for the purpose of ensuring an accurate document list entry.
Issues which the inspector deems meet the criteria for report writeups shall be discussed with the team lead prior to preparing an input. Inputs are to be e-mailed to the team lead within five working days (seven calendar days) of the exit. All documents critically/deliberately reviewed shall be included in the document list. Corrective action documents generated as a result of the inspector's questions shall be listed separately from corrective action documents that were in the licensee's system prior to the inspection.
VI Interface and Coordination Meetings Meetings with the Licensee A status meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. each day during the inspection.
A short licensee debrief will be held at 10:30 a.m., on Friday, at the close of each of the first two inspection weeks, prior to leaving the site.
Daily debriefings with the licensee will start Tuesday, March 18, 2003. Team members are expected to attend the debrief on Fridays, and the exit meeting on April 18, 2003.
Team members do not have to routinely attend the daily debriefings, unless they identify a complex issue.
An extensive team meeting will be held starting at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, April17th, to discuss the teams findings and determine what will be discussed at the exit. This meeting will last longer than normal team meetings.
Routine Interactions Through-out the inspection, inspectors are expected to have routine interactions with licensee employees. It is expected that these interactions will be professional in nature and will normally be conducted without the lead inspector present. Any questions or requests for further information arising from these meetings will be conveyed to the lead inspector.
Exit Meeting The team leader will conduct the exit meeting on April 18, 2003. Team members are expected to provide the team leader a final short summary of findings the day before the exit. Team members need attend the final exit meeting and be prepared to answer any questions that may be raised by the licensee.
VII Starfire Information This special inspection is estimated to require approximately 960 (+/- 80) hours of direct inspection effort. The review will include mostly Restart as well as a small sample of Post-Restart corrective action items. Approximately 75% (or 700) of these hours should be spent as direct inspection evaluating effectiveness of the licensees corrective action program in assessment and resolution of identified risk significant issues and review of RAM items for closure (charge to IP 93812 with IPE code of ER).
Approximately 25% (or 250) of these hours should be spent in reviewing CRs, LERs, URIs, NCVs, audits, self-assessments and other corrective action related issues to determine effectiveness of licensee corrective actions taken and proposed to resolve the identified issues and determine if they are ready for closure (charge to IP 71152 with IPE code of BI,). We need to fulfill the requirements pertaining to assessment of effectiveness of corrective action process delineated in IP 71152. Preparation and documentation for this inspection will use IPEs, SEP, SED, BIP or BID. The direct inspection hours do not include time spent in travel, entrance or exit meetings, debriefing the residents, checking on e-mail, or keeping track of hours to correctly credit them. However, it does include time spent in team meetings and in preparing for team meetings.
General Information Checking E-mail and Other Such Activities For planning purposes, the lead inspector has assumed that each inspector will spend a maximum of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> each week of the inspection, maximum of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, checking e-mail or doing other activities not directly related to the inspection. This time, if used, should be charged to general administration.
Travel Charges All travel time is to be charged in HRMS to an IPE code of "AT", including travel during non-regular hours (see below). For planning purposes, a total of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> travel is allotted for travel one way to the site.
Overtime The lead inspector has requested authorization of up to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of overtime for each inspector for each of the onsite weeks. The overtime is to only be used to meet the inspection requirements and must be claimed in HRMS if used. Any overtime spent traveling (although there shouldnt be any) also must be claimed in HRMS using the overtime code of "ADDLT".
SCOPE AND TEAM MEMBER ASSIGNMENTS Note to inspection team members: Please review the list of corrective action related documents delineated in the tables below and select a good sample of Restart items to be examined during this inspection. In addition, select a small sample of Post-Restart items to determine if they were properly categorized. Additional assignments may be provided by the team leader during the inspection to distribute the work load amongst the team members.
Our inspection objective is to conduct a comprehensive review of as many items, listed in the tables, as time will permit during the five weeks of inspection (3 weeks onsite and 2 weeks in the office) to determine effectiveness of licensees implementation of the upgraded Davis Besse corrective action program/process.

The physical attribute required (as identified in the LIR/self-assessment) to satisfy a safety related function can not be met. For example, the pump head/flow characteristic employed in the Chapter 15 analysis or the required system startup time can not be met.
The required physical analysis could be met if limitations to system operation were imposed, but it is desired to avoid such restrictions by re-analysis. For example, post accident criticality analysis were performed assuming a minimum auxiliary feedwater temperature of 60F, but actual feedwater temperature can be below 40F for limited periods of time.
A-2.
Nonconforming condition that does not require an analysis change but which must be corrected in order for the plant to survive Chapter 15 accident scenarios.
Examples of nonconformance in this subcategory include:
Absence of calculations needed to define component/system operating characteristics or to determine functional or structural capability.
Incorrect or missing emergency operating procedures.
Plant equipment not able to perform its design function.
Excluded from this subcategory are issues that are expected to be addressed by normal plant programs such as Seismic Qualification, Environmental Qualification, Appendix R, HELB and Flooding.
Also included in this category are conditions expected to have a significant impact on the likelihood of core damage, even if not directly associated with Chapter 15 accident analysis.

General Inspection Guidance for Root and Apparent Cause Evaluations Determine whether licensee evaluations of, and corrective actions to, significant performance deficiencies have been sufficient to correct the deficiencies and prevent recurrence. Evaluate whether evaluations are of a depth commensurate with the significance of the issue. Evaluations should ensure that the root and contributing causes of risk significant deficiencies are identified. Corrective actions should be taken to correct the immediate problems and to prevent recurrence.
Determine that the root cause evaluation was conducted to a level of detail commensurate with the significance of the problem. Determine that the root cause evaluation included a consideration of prior occurrences of the problem and knowledge of prior operating experience. Determine that the root cause evaluation included consideration of potential common cause(s) and extent of condition of the problem.
The root cause evaluation methods that are commonly used in nuclear facilities are:
Events and causal factors analysis -- to identify the events and conditions that led up to an event; Fault tree analysis -- to identify relationships among events and the probability of event occurrence; Barrier analysis -- to identify the barriers that, if present or strengthened, would have prevented the event from occurring; Change analysis -- to identify changes in the work environment since the activity was last performed successfully that may have caused or contributed to the event; Management Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT) analysis -- to systematically check that all possible causes of problems have been considered; and Critical incident techniques -- to identify critical actions that, if performed correctly, would have prevented the event from occurring or would have significantly reduced its consequences.
A determination of cause and effect relationships should result in an identification of root and contributory causes which consider potential hardware, process, and human performance issues.
NRC Inspection Procedures IP 71152 Objectives and Guidance (Selected portions extracted from the IP)
(Please review the entire IP for more guidance)
A fundamental goal of this inspection is to establish confidence that the licensee is detecting and correcting problems in a manner that limits the risk to members of the public.
Inspection objectives 01.01 To provide for early warning of potential performance issues.
01.04 To allow for follow-up of previously identified compliance issues (e.g. NCVs).
01.06 To determine whether licensees are complying with NRC regulations regarding corrective action programs.
02.03 Biennial Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection Perform a biennial inspection of the problem identification and resolution activities as follows:
- a. From among conditions adverse to quality which the licensee has identified and processed through its corrective action process and are associated in some way with risk-significant SSCs, select a sample for review.
- b. Review each condition/problem selected for review using the performance attributes contained in paragraph 03.03.c of the procedure.
- c. Review recent audits and/or assessments of the licensees corrective action program, and compare and contrast the results of those audits and/or assessments with the results developed through this inspection.
- e. Develop an assessment of the licensees implementation of the corrective action process, based on the inspection results developed through steps a. through c..
Inspection guidance To the extent possible, this inspection should follow a performance based approach.
Emphasize the products and results of the licensees PI & R program. Inspections performed under this procedure should concentrate on the identification of problems and the effectiveness of corrective actions for risk significant issues rather than on reviewing the administrative aspects of the corrective action program and associated procedures.
This inspection will examine, in part, a sample of licensee corrective action issues to provide an indication of overall problem identification and resolution performance. In selecting issues for inspection, the inspectors should take the following into considerations:
- 1. Licensee identified issues (including issues identified during audits or self assessments).
- 2. NRC identified issues.
- 3. Issues related to NCVs (for the biennial inspection it is mandatory to review the licensees response to a sample of NCVs unless no NCVs were issued in the cornerstone).
- 4. Issues identified through NRC generic communications.
- 5. Issues identified through industry operating experience exchange mechanisms (including Part 21 reports, NSSS vendor reports, EPRI reports, experience reports from similar facilities, LERs).
- 6. Specific or cross cutting issues identified by safety review committees or other management oversight mechanisms.
- 7. Issues identified through employee concerns programs.
03.02 Selected Issue Follow-up Inspection
- b. Performance Attributes When evaluating the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions for a particular issue, the licensees actions must be viewed against the nature and significance of the identified problem. Risk should be a primary factor in the licensees significance determination. Attributes to consider during review of licensee actions associated with individual issues include the 8 attributes noted in 03.01 above.
In addition to the general performance attributes contained above, the inspector should refer to Inspection Procedure 95001 for additional guidance on assessing licensee evaluations of significant performance issues. It is not expected that the inspectors assess each attribute for every issue selected for follow up during these routine reviews. Rather, inspectors may choose to assess licensee performance against selected attributes, as necessary to be most effective.
03.03 Biennial Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection. The biennial inspection of problem identification and resolution is intended to complement and expand upon the reviews described in Section 03.01 and 03.02 of this procedure by:
- 1. Evaluating additional examples of licensee problem identification and resolution.
- 2. Reviewing the resolution of issues that earlier had been assessed for the licensees identification efforts only.
- 3. Comparing the NRCs results against the licensees own assessment of performance in the PI & R area.
- 4. Assessing whether PI & R deficiencies exist across cornerstones that might indicate potential programmatic issues.
- e. Development of PI&R Program Performance Insights.
By reviewing a sufficient number and breadth of samples, the inspection team should be able to develop insights into the effectiveness of the licensees corrective action program.
- f. Documentation and Evaluation of Program Effectiveness.
At the completion of inspection activities, the team should develop a clear and concise discussion of the results of their review.
Corrective Action Guidance from IP 95002 (For Reference only) 02.03 Corrective Actions a.
Determine that appropriate corrective action(s) are specified for each root/contributing cause or that there is an evaluation that no actions are necessary.
b.
Determine that the corrective actions have been prioritized with consideration of the risk significance and regulatory compliance.
c.
Determine that a schedule has been established for implementing and completing the corrective actions.
d.
Determine that quantitative or qualitative measures of success have been developed for determining the effectiveness of the corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
03.03 Corrective Action The proposed corrective actions to the root and contributing causes should:
a.
Address each of the root and contributing causes to the White issue and the extent of condition of the issue. The corrective actions should be clearly defined.
Examples of corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, modifications, inspections, testing, process or procedure changes, and training.
The proposed corrective actions should not create new or different problems as a result of the corrective action. If the licensee determines that no corrective actions are necessary, the basis for this decision should be documented in the evaluation.
b.
Include consideration of the results of the licensees risk assessment of the issue in prioritizing the type of corrective action chosen. Attention should be given to solutions that involve only changing procedures or providing training as they are sometimes over-utilized. In such cases, consideration should be given to more comprehensive corrective actions such as design modifications. The corrective action plan should also include a review of the regulations to ensure that if compliance issues exist, the plan achieves compliance.
Also, the licensee should ensure that:
c.
The corrective actions are assigned to individuals or organizations that are appropriate to ensure that the actions are taken in a timely manner. Also, the licensee should ensure that there is a formal tracking mechanism established for each of the specific corrective actions.
d.
A method exists to validate the effectiveness of the overall corrective action plan.
Specifically, a method should be established to measure, either quantitatively or qualitatively, the effectiveness of the corrective actions. Effective methods would include, but are not limited to, assessments, audits, inspections, tests, and trending of plant data, or follow-up discussions with plant staff.
02.04 Independent Assessment of Extent of Condition and Generic Implications. Perform a focused inspection(s) to independently assess the validity of the licensees conclusions regarding the extent of condition of the issues. The inspection(s) chosen should be selected from the list contained in Appendix B to Inspection Manual 2515. The objective of this procedure should be to independently sample performance, as necessary to provide assurance that the licensees evaluation regarding extent of condition is sufficiently comprehensive. The intent is not to re-perform the licensees evaluation, but is to assess the validity of the licensees evaluation by independently sampling performance within the key attributes of the cornerstone(s) that are related to the subject performance issue. The results of the NRCs review of extent of condition should be documented in this inspection report.
03.04 Independent Assessment of Extent of Condition a.
In choosing the inspection procedure(s) to assess the validity of the licensees conclusions regarding extent of condition, consideration should be given to whether multiple risk significant performance issues have been identified. For those instances where multiple issues have been documented, a broad based inspection(s) which would assess performance across the associated strategic performance area should be considered. If this procedure is being performed due to a single yellow issue, a more focused inspection would likely be appropriate.
Consideration should also be given to the comprehensiveness of the licensees evaluation(s). In those cases where significant weaknesses are identified in the licensees evaluation(s) during implementation of paragraphs 02.01 through 02.03 of this procedure, consideration should be given to performing a more in-depth programmatic review of the licensees corrective action program.
