As part of the issuance of a license to operate a nuclear power plant, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determines that the prospective licensee is qualified to engage in the activities authorized by the operating license. The NRC now places greater importance on the effect of management and organizational effectiveness on operating plant performance and has developed new tools for evaluation of plant performance and the effectiveness of license management in ensuring high levels of safety. The diagnostic evaluation (DE) program was developed by the NRC to assess management and organizational effectiveness at operating plants. A DE is a broad-based evaluation of licensee and plant safety performance. A major objective of a DE is the assessment of license management and organizational effectiveness. Plants are chosen based on a perceived need for NRC's senior management to better understand that plant's performance. A DE seeks to determine area(s) of strengths and weaknesses in a licensee's management and organization. In the case of performance weaknesses, a DE seeks to determine the root causes of these weaknesses as well as the adequacy and effectiveness of licensee improvement initiatives to address the significant performance weaknesses and their root causes.
