SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing a draft policy statement that sets forth the Commission’s expectation that all licensees and certificate holders 1 establish and maintain a positive safety culture that protects public health and safety and the common defense and security when carrying out licensed activities. The Commission defines safety culture as that assembly of characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors in organizations and individuals which establishes that as an overriding priority, nuclear safety and security issues 2 receive the attention warranted by their significance. The Commission also considers nuclear safety and security issues to be equally important in a positive safety culture. The importance of treating safety and security in an equal manner within 1 Throughout this document, the phrase ‘‘licensee and certificate holders’’ includes licensees, certificate holders, permit holders, authorization holders, holders of quality assurance program approvals and applicants for a license, certificate, permit, authorization, or quality assurance program approval. 2 Throughout this document, the terms ‘‘safety’’ or ‘‘nuclear safety,’’ ‘‘security’’ or ‘‘nuclear security,’’ and ‘‘safety culture’’ are used. These terms refer to matters that are related to NRCregulated activities, including radiation protection, safeguards, material control and accounting, physical protection, and emergency preparedness. . PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57525 NRC’s regulatory framework is clearly evident in our mission and strategic goals. Experience has shown that certain organizational characteristics and personnel attitudes and behaviors are present in a positive safety culture. These include, but are not limited to, individuals demonstrating ownership and personal responsibility for maintaining safety and security in their day-to-day work activities; the implementation of processes for planning and controlling work activities such that safety and security are maintained; a work environment in which personnel feel free to raise safety and security concerns without fear of retaliation; prompt and thorough identification, evaluation, and resolution of nuclear safety and security issues commensurate with their significance; the availability of the resources needed to ensure that safety and security are maintained; decisionmaking processes that protect safety and security; clearly defined roles and responsibilities for maintaining safety and security; and the seeking out and implementation of opportunities to improve safety and security. The NRC expects its licensees and certificate holders to foster these characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors in their organizations and among individuals who are overseeing or performing regulated activities commensurate with the safety and security significance of their activities and the nature and complexity of their organization and functions. The NRC is requesting comments on the draft safety culture policy statement and associated questions. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1) Background The Commission has long expressed its expectations for safety culture in previous policy statements. In 1989, the Commission published its ‘‘Policy Statement on the Conduct of Nuclear Power Plant Operations’’ (54 FR 3424; January 24, 1989) to make clear the Commission’s expectations of utility management and licensed operators with respect to the conduct of operations. The policy statement stated, ‘‘the phrase safety culture refers to a very general matter, the personal dedication and accountability of all individuals engaged in any activity which has a bearing on the safety of nuclear power plants.’’ The policy statement further stated that the Commission issued the policy statement to help foster the development and maintenance of a safety culture at every facility licensed by the NRC.
