NRC Performance Goals

! Maintain safety, protection of the environment, and the common defense and security

! Increase public confidence

! Make NRC activities and decisions more effective, efficient, and realistic

! Reduce unnecessary regulatory burden on stakeholders

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

Examples of Baseline Inspections

! Equipment Alignment ~92 hrs/yr

! Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs

! Operator Response ~100 hrs/yr

! Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr

! Public Radiation Protection ~110 hrs every 2 yrs

! Worker Radiation Protection ~120 hrs/yr

! Corrective Action Program ~200 hrs every 2 yrs

! Corrective Action Reviews ~60 hrs/yr

Significance Threshold Performance Indicators Green: Only Baseline Inspection White: May increase NRC oversight Yellow: Requires more NRC oversight Red: Requires more NRC oversight Inspection Findings Green: Very low safety significant issue White: Low to moderate safety significant issue Yellow: Substantial safety significant issue Red: High safety significant issue

Millstone Annual Assessment Summary January 1- December 31, 2003

! Dominion operated Millstone Units 2 & 3 in a manner that preserved public health and safety

! All cornerstone objectives were met and all findings were of very low safety significance

! NRC will continue to conduct baseline inspections for the current assessment period

NRC Security Program Update

! NRC has issued Orders (February 2002)

< Increased Patrols

< Augmented Security Capabilities

< Added Barriers and Posts

< Enhanced Personnel Screening for Access

< Enhanced Security Awareness

! Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response Formed (April 2002)

! Established Threat Advisory and Protective Measure System (August 2002)

NRC Security Program Update (continued)

! Access Authorization Order (January 2003)

! Training Order (April 2003)

! Fatigue Order (April 2003)

! Design Basis Threat (April 2003)

! Changes to Site Security plans to incorporate the requirements of the orders (April 2004)

! Expanded Force-on-Force Exercises(in progress)

! New NRC Baseline Inspection Program initiated (February 2004)

Nuclear Industry Deregulation

! Economic Deregulation throughout Region I

! Competition can spur some improvements

< Work control, planning, coordination

! NRC must watch for any negative impacts

! NRC Activities:

< Performance Indicators

< Corrective Action program Inspections

< Maintenance Inspections

< Modification Inspections

< Safety Conscious Work Environment Assessment

Approaches for Continued Performance Success An NRC Perspective

! Strong corrective action program

< Continued low threshold for problem identification

! Effective engineering & technical support

! Penetrating internal self-assessments & employee surveys

! Commitment to high standards -- Maintaining a long-term view on resources
