5
Corrective Action Program (CAP):
CAP OWNER PROCESS Action Results Sustainability Returns provide opportunity for coaching and feedback.
Periodically reviewed by the CAP Coach process.
6
Corrective Action Program (CAP):
CAP COACH PROCESS Action Results Sustainability Drives periodic assessment of significant process steps within the station corrective action program.

7
Corrective Action Program (CAP):
CAP COACH PROCESS Action Results Sustainability Managers/Supervisors showing ownership and accepting roles as CAP Screening Coaches.
Enhanced focus being applied and trended.
Causal analysis utilization improvement.
8
Corrective Action Program (CAP):
DEPARTMENT ROLL UP MEETING (DRUM) REPORT Action Results Sustainability Prompts recurring assessment to evaluate implementation effectiveness and responds to identified adverse departmental trends.

9
Corrective Action Program (CAP):
DRUM REPORT Action Results Sustainability DRUM was not forward looking.
DRUM process assisted NOS and Operations to identify an adverse trend in status control issues.
Operations responded with enhanced briefings and oversight of danger tagging and system restorations.
Heightened awareness and continued DRUM review will occur.
10
Corrective Action Program (CAP)
Remaining Challenges:
Current levels of CAP initiation, backlog and quality of completion demonstrate the right station behaviors and attentiveness to conditions adverse to quality.
Continued utilization of CAP Owner, CAP Coach and DRUM process steps ensures high standards are achieved and maintained.
PARB oversight of CAP continues.
11
Engineering Organization:
Current Learning Opportunities Recent Unit 2 Reactor Vessel Head (RVH) drop licensing efforts provided numerous learning opportunities.
Recognized a need to confirm understanding of critical communication points before proceeding.
12
Engineering Organization:
Current Learning Opportunities Problem Statement Development Sheet (PSDS) Logic is being internally applied to include both internal and external issue resolution.
Nuclear Oversight (NOS) communication has been enhanced through the use of the PSDS process.
PSDS focuses on the safety significance of the stated problems. 13
Engineering Organization:
Auxiliary Feed Water Initial responses utilized a previous evaluation without re-evaluating its rigor.
PBNP is applying PSDS logic to the station response.

14
Engineering Organization:
Auxiliary Feed Water Recently completed Operability and Engineering Evaluations did not initially demonstrate the proper depth and rigor.
Documentation of logic and bases for conclusions needs enhancement.
15
Engineering Organization:
Bolted Fault Calculation Project Action Results Sustainability PBNP is rigorously improving our electrical distribution system.
A long-standing and previously unknown issue regarding the operability of safety injection pumps was self-identified.

16
Engineering Organization:
Bolted Fault Calculation Project Action Results Sustainability Entries into Technical Specification Action Condition entered and timely notification occurred.
Resulting maintenance actions returned the equipment to service safely and reliably.
All other safety related motors have been evaluated and fleet operating experience has been shared.
17
Engineering Organization:
Operational Focus Action Results Sustainability Operator Burdens are being reduced.
Operational Decision Making Index (ODMI)
Process is being effectively implemented.

18
Engineering Organization:
Operational Focus Action Results Sustainability A long-standing Operator Burden to provide control room indication for Auxiliary Feed Pump Discharge valve position indication was recently completed.
The number of outstanding Operator Burdens has been reduced by approximately 50%.
19
Engineering Organization:
Operational Decision Making Action Results Sustainability A recent example of not diversifying the ODMI team during G-05 issue resolution was self-identified and corrected.
This process drives a lessons-learned review to capture and apply learnings in future use.
20
Engineering Organization:
Operational Focus Action Results Sustainability The station conducts pre-job briefings and considers Operability Determinations a medium or high-risk evolution.
