Results of Oversight ProgramThe NRC evaluates issues identified during the requalification oversight process, using the significance determination process in Appendix I to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609. As part of its oversight process, the NRC issues sanctions called enforcement actions to facility licensees and to licensed operators who violate our regulations. See Plant Assessment Results for recent results of the reactor operations oversight program, including enforcement actions for licensed operators. These results include a summary of the most significant inspection findings over the previous four quarters for all plants. Enforcement sanctions may include notices of violation, monetary fines (10 CFR 55.71), or orders to modify, suspend, or revoke a license (10 CFR 55.61) or require specific actions because of a public health issue. You can learn more about the enforcement process at our Enforcement Process page. |
