Recommendations of a balanced approach to Enhance Oversight of PCC have been identified, with endorsement of the following options:
Utilize OpESS Knowledge management including just-in-time training Generate significance determination/screening criteria for use by cross-regional review panels to disposition any identified issues
3 Completed Tabletops at facilities Dec 2022 Conduct public meeting Workshop with Tabletop sites/Industry Stakeholders Mar 2023 Developed Working Group recommendations for near-term path forward Feb/Jun 2023 Obtained Alignment with NRC Mgt. on PCC Proposal Mar 2023 Project Milestones Develop near-term oversight guidance (OpESS)
Summer 2023 Develop Enf./SDP strategy and Regional Panel Guidance Dec 2023 Issue Public Report on Tabletops Jun 2023 Gather feedback from near-term oversight, update as necessary 2024-2026 Develop long-term oversight process 2026
4 Key Messages Operating Experience Smart Sample (OpESS) provides maximum flexibility for regional implementation.
Cross-regional review panel process will ensure consistent application across the Regional Offices.
The WG is currently drafting the OpESS and associated guidance.
The OpESS is intended to be resource neutral and is part of the overall graded and balanced approach that will eventually determine the long-term recommendations for PRA Configuration Control (PCC),
which is targeted for implementation in the 2027 ROP inspection cycle.

5 What is OpESS?
OpE - Operating Experience and SS - Smart Sample = OpESS The OpESS is designed as an additional tool to be used by agency staff in ROP baseline inspection preparation.
The information and trends identified from OpESS inspections may provide further indication that a specific issue warrants additional agency action.
Each OpESS has a unique and sequential identifier.

Balanced approach will ensure that inspectors only review aspects from approved and implemented risk-informed initiatives.
Performance-based in that sampling will be reviewed and adjusted annually until issuance of final recommendations.
