NRC CY2003 Annual Assessment Meeting Shearon Harris Apex, North Carolina March 24, 2004 Enclosure 2

A public forum for discussion of the licensees performance NRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the annual assessment letter Licensee will be given the opportunity to respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance

Agenda Introduction Review of Reactor Oversight Process National Summary of Plant Performance Discussion of Plant Performance Results Licensee Response and Remarks NRC Closing Remarks Break NRC available to address public questions

Region II Organization Luis Reyes Regional Administrator Loren Plisco Deputy Regional Administrator Victor McCree Charles Casto Director Division of Reactor Projects Director Division of Reactor Safety Leonard Wert Harold Christensen Deputy Director Deputy Director Paul Fredrickson Regional Specialists Branch Chief Shearon Harris Project Engineer Resident Inspectors George MacDonald Randy Musser Philip OBryan

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

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

Examples of Baseline Inspections l Equipment Alignment ~92 hrs/yr l Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs l Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr l Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr l Rad Release Controls ~100 hrs every 2 yrs l Worker Radiation Protection ~100 hrs/yr l Corrective Action Program ~200 hrs every 2 yrs l Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

Performance Thresholds Safety Significance Green: Very low safety issue White: Low to moderate safety issue Yellow: Substantial safety issue Red: High safety issue NRC Inspection Efforts Green: Only Baseline Inspection White: May increase NRC oversight Yellow: Increased NRC oversight Red: Increased NRC oversight and other NRC actions

Action Matrix Concept Licensee Regulatory Degraded Multiple/Rep. Unacceptable Response Response Cornerstone Degraded Performance Cornerstone Increasing Safety Significance Increasing NRC Inspection Efforts Increasing NRC/Licensee Management Involvement Increasing Regulatory Actions

Shearon Harris CY2003 Assessment Results Plant performance was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix All inspection findings were classified as very low safety significance (Green)

One performance indicator was White: Unplanned Reactor Scrams----Harris received additional NRC oversight

Significant Findings and PIs Significant PI---Unplanned Reactor Scrams---White Four reactor trips in CY2003 NRC Supplemental Inspection determined corrective actions adequate and no evidence of common cause Potential Significant Findings Nine fire protection issues evaluated as being Green Potential loss of reactor shutdown cooling evaluated as being Green

Shearon Harris Annual Assessment Summary Progress Energy operated Shearon Harris in a manner that preserved public health and safety All cornerstone objectives were met with one White PI identified (Unplanned Reactor Scrams)

NRC plans baseline inspections at Shearon Harris for the remainder of CY 2004 A Supplemental Inspection on the Unplanned Reactor Scrams PI was conducted in CY2003

Resident inspector daily inspections Reactor containment sump blockage inspection Reactor operator initial exam Emergency preparedness inspection NRC pilot engineering design inspection Security inspection Maintenance inspection Reactor vessel lower head inspection Radiation protection inspection
