Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) Review Findings

On June 23, the Management Review Board (MRB) met to consider the results of the California 

IMPEP review. Based on the review team’s findings, the MRB found the State to be 

“satisfactory” for all indicators except Compatibility Requirements, which was found 

“unsatisfactory.” Consequently, the State was found adequate to protect public health and safety 

and not compatible with the NRC program. Based on the progress the State has made to adopt 

required regulatory amendments, the MRB agreed that the current period of Heightened 

Oversight be discontinued and that a period of monitoring be initiated. The next full IMPEP 

review is scheduled to take place in approximately 4 years, with a periodic meeting to take place 

in 1 year.

Agency Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and Conformity Assessment Praises NRC

On June 16, 2008 NIST cited NRC as an agency that effectively uses codes and standards to 

make the regulatory process more efficient. Specifically, the report noted the NRC practice of 

endorsing portions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and 

Pressure Vessel Code and the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power 

Plants (O&M Code) in NRC’s regulations and regulatory guidance, in lieu of developing 

government-unique standards. These ASME Codes are developed through the consensus 

process, and endorsement of the ASME Codes by the NRC provides a method of incorporating 

rules into the regulatory process that are acceptable to the NRC and have received industry 

participation in their development.
