6 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips Unit 1 Manual Trip - 1C RCP Motor Lower Radial Bearing Failure, January 14, 2003

 Cause:

 Loss of oil with a failure of the warning indicator

 Corrective Action:

 Verified level switches work properly

 Improved lower oil pan design

 Improved design of drain line

7 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips Unit 1 Auto Trip - Difficulties with Manual SG Level Control, January 25, 2003

 Cause:

 Inadequate modification of feed regulating valve

 Corrective Action:

 Corrected modification

 Improved design to correct issue of low power level secondary plant performance

 Four startups have validated success

8 Main Feed Main Feed Reg Reg Valve Valve

9 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips Unit 2 Auto Trip - Failure of an Electrical Conduit Bushing, January 25, 2003

 Cause:

 Misaligned conduit bushing on protective relay circuit

 Corrective Action:

 Leads repaired and verified extent of condition

 Similar issue found & repaired at NAPS before failure

10 Reactor Trip Reactor Trip

 Failure of an Electrical Conduit Bushing, January 25, 2003

11 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips Unit 1 Manual Trip - Rod Mis-alignment During Physics Testing, June 13, 2003

 Cause:

 Misaligned pin connector

 Corrective Action:

 Revised procedures to visually inspect connectors

12 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips Unit 1 and 2 Manual Trips During Adverse Weather from Hurricane Isabel - Loss of Power to the Intake Structure, September 18, 2003

 Cause:

 Overhead electrical distribution system was exposed to adverse weather conditions

13 Hurricane Isabel Hurricane Isabel

14 Hurricane Isabel Hurricane Isabel Phase B wire contacted pole during high winds

15 Hurricane Isabel Hurricane Isabel

16 Hurricane Isabel Hurricane Isabel Wildlife protection cover blown off allowing damage to the transformer bushing

17 Reactor Trips Reactor Trips

 To Summarize the Reactor Trips:

 Equipment Reliability is the Top Focus Area of Surry & Dominion Nuclear

 Additional Initiatives will Reap Further Improvements

26 Radioactive Material Control Radioactive Material Control Significance:

 4 Issues within the Last 8 Quarters

 All Issues had a Dose Impact < 0.005 rem TEDE

 Recognized as a Negative Trend

27 Corrective Actions Corrective Actions

 Conducted aggressive station and contractor training to ensure awareness and expectations

 Tightened controls on release of material from RCA

 Strengthening of RCA tool control and accountability

 Enhanced vehicle search process

28 Management Perspective Management Perspective We Are:

 Aware of our past issues

 Concerned with current improvements and overall performance

 Implementing proactive actions and showing progress in several areas

29 Management Perspective Management Perspective

 Common Cause Evaluation

 To ensure continued improvement a Common Cause Evaluation will be conducted

 Evaluation will review collective issues to determine the organizational causes

 Team consisting of two directors and one member from outside with equivalent or greater nuclear management insight
