Recent Experience in Alara Performance Assessment in the Usa

چکیده
The objective of the revised Reactor Oversight Process is to monitor licensee performance in the areas of reactor safety, radiation safety, and security. This paper describes the NRC’s revised Reactor Oversight Process and how it is used to assess licensee performance against stated objectives in seven areas (or cornerstones) of plant operations. One of the seven cornerstones of the Reactor Oversight Process is Occupational Radiation Safety. This paper focuses on the ALARA objectives of this cornerstone to maintain occupational radiation doses as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). Finally, this paper discusses the outcomes of two recent ALARA inspections conducted under the revised Reactor Oversight Process.
