MSPI Enhances NRC Inspection Effectiveness
Overall, the MSPI will help focus NRC inspection resources on the most safety-significant issues.
The NRC’s initial inspection at each reactor will look at system definitions, or scope; component selection; success factors; historical data; and the MSPI safety-weight factors.
Keeping the Public Informed on Safety
The NRC Web site will show color-coded information on the performance of individual reactors. The NRC will provide information on how reactor safety has been affected by the availability of safety systems and the reliability of those systems.
The NRC Web site also includes a link to the performance indicator guideline so those who are interested can learn how the MSPI indicator is calculated.
