Pilot ProgramThe NRC tested the revised reactor oversight process (ROP) during a six month pilot program at 13 plants at 9 sites across the country, beginning in June 1999. The plants represented a cross section of the nuclear industry, featuring different plant designs and varying levels of performance. In this program, utilities voluntarily collected performance indicator data and reported it to the NRC, and the NRC inspected and assessed the plants the plants using the new oversight process. In addition, the NRC took appropriate enforcement action using the new enforcement policy guidelines. The pilot program was intended to test how effectively the revised ROP
worked and to identify possible problems. The program measured the
resources required by the NRC and by the industry to implement the new
system. A panel of senior NRC managers and external stakeholders
assessed the pilot program for readiness for full implementation, and
documented their conclusions in the Pilot
Program Evaluation Panel final report
