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
