Jamnes Wiggins - EG Leadership Presentation on SWEt Results _age 1ij From: Marc Ferdas l To: Anne Passarelli; Daniel Collins; Daniel Orr; George Malone; Mel Gray; Scott Barber; Theodore Wingfield Date: 5/24/04 7:16AM

Subject:

PSEG Leadership Presentation on SCWE Results Attached you will find the presentation being used by PSEG management to roll-out the results of their SCWE assessments.

On Friday, PSEG started to conduct group sessions w/ all levels of the organization. These meetings will continue over the next several days as the roll-out continues.

The presentation is honest and open, and provides an accurate description of the assessrrent results. It paints a picture that improvement is needed and Salem/Hope Creek performance is bottom quartile. The presentation also provides a list of the top 5 items PSEG will go after over the next several years to improve performance at the site. The five areas are: SCWE, Corrective Action, Work Management, Roles

& Responsibilities of Supervision at all Levels, Facilities/Housekeeping.

The last page of the presentation provides a time line describing PSEG's plans going forward in rolling out this information. They are looking to have a press release once the information hits ADA%1s and available to the public. We may need to coordinate w/ them on this.

Some management personnel
