Cross-Cutting Issues Program Effectiveness Review October 28, 2020 ROP Public Meeting Alex Garmoe Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Reactor Oversight 1
=
Background===
- Several of the 99 ROP Enhancement recommendations suggested reviewing, revising, or eliminating the CCI program
- CCI program was due for an effectiveness review of significant program changes implemented in 2015
- An effectiveness review could address both the ROP self-assessment and the ROP Enhancement recommendations
Review Objectives
- Information and data considered:
- CCI program objective, history, and guidance
- CCI program and plant assessment data, including all aspects assigned since 2006
- Principles of Good Regulation
- Main components of data review:
- Did the program identify plants that actually had concerns in cross-cutting areas?
- Were plants that exhibited performance concerns identified by the program and should they have been?
- Is there a relationship between program insights and performance?
Review Conclusions
- Changes made in 2015 resulted in a program that appears to be less responsive to cross-cutting behavior indicators
- Introduced concerns about whether the program would proactively identify cross-cutting concerns consistent with the program objective
- Review of seven Column 4 and recent outlier plants found the current program would not have opened a CCI in any case prior to performance decline
- There is a predictive relationship between increasing numbers of cross-cutting aspects and future movement in the Action Matrix or future occurrence of precursor events Changes made in 2015 resulted in a program that while still providing some encouragement to monitor cross cutting aspects, may be less responsive to cross-cutting behavior indicators, may provide only limited communication about cross-cutting themes, and introduced concerns about whether the program would proactively identify cross-cutting concerns consistent with the program objective.
Review Recommendations
- Final report available in ADAMS Package ML20239A806 Monitoring for CCIs Identification of a CCI Follow-up of a CCI Simplify the assignment and trending of cross-cutting aspects via one of two options:
Use nine safety culture traits (preferred)
Use three cross-cutting areas Eliminate the three assessment period waiting time More detailed discussion in assessment letters Pre-establish follow-up guidance and objectives in baseline IP Timing of follow-up based on licensee readiness Leverage planned 9500x if available Cannot close CCI based solely on reduction in findings
