Annual Assessment Meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission

NRC Performance Goals P Maintain safety and protect the environment P Enhance public confidence P Improve effectiveness, efficiency, and realism of processes and decision making P Reduce unnecessary regulatory burden

Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Inspection Performance Indicator Results Results Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Action Matrix Regulatory Response

Key Aspects of the Assessment Program P Objective review of licensee performance P Action Matrix identifies agency response commensurate with safety significance P Increasing safety significance results in:

- Increased levels of inspection

- Involvement of higher levels of NRC and Licensee management

- Increased regulatory action P Plant specific assessment information on NRC public web site

Regional Organization Jim Dyer, Regional Administrator James Caldwell, Deputy Regional Administrator Jan Strasma, Regional Public Affairs Officer Division of Reactor Projects Division of Reactor Safety Geoffrey E. Grant, Director Cynthia Pederson, Director Steven Reynolds, Deputy Director Roy Caniano, Deputy Director Reactor Projects Branch #5 Regional Specialists Kenneth Riemer, Chief Mike Kunowski, Project Engineer Prairie Island Resident Inspector Office John Adams, Senior Resident Inspector Duane Karjala, Resident Inspector

Annual Licensee Assessment Meeting P A public forum for discussion of the licensees performance P NRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the Annual Assessment Letter P Licensee will respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance

P Name of Plant: Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant P Plant Operator: Nuclear Management Company P Number of Units: 2 P Reactor Type and Vendor: Pressurized Water Reactor-Westinghouse P Location: Welch, Minnesota P Power Output (electrical): 575MWe each unit P Source of Circulating Water: Mississippi River

Major Plant Activities in 2002 P April 11, 2002- the NRC completed a supplemental inspection at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant

- Focused on the root causes and development of corrective actions for the White inspection finding associated with the cooling water pump

- The inspector determined that the corrective actions for the finding appropriately addressed the identified root causes P December 13, 2002- the NRC proposed a severity level III NOV and $60,000 civil penalty for a violation of 10 CFR 50.9.

- For failure to provide complete and accurate information to the NRC from in April 2001, concerning Prairie Islands request for a NOED.

Plant Performance Summary P PINGP operated in a safe manner overall P Fully met all cornerstone objectives P Plant performance for the 3rd and 4th quarters of the assessment period was within the Licensee Response Column

- All Green inspection findings and performance indicators P Plant performance for the 1st and 2nd quarters was within the Regulatory Response Column

- One White finding in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone

Greater than GREEN PIs and Findings (Details)

P One White finding in the migating systems cornerstone removed during the 2nd quarter

- Found during cooling water system design basis inspection conducted in 2000

- Due to inadequate root cause evaluation

- Closed during a followup supplemental inspection in April 2002
