SUMMARY

Background

PSEG percentile comparisons against 21 nuclear sites assessed within the last 2 years by Synergy.

PSEG commissioned Synergy in December 2003 to perform a Comprehensive Cultural Assessment (CCA). The CCA was to assess and monitor attitudes, culture, and performance and establish a baseline going forward.

Initial Environmental Conditions

  • 3 week period to complete survey in December 2003.
  • March 2003 new president and CNO arrives. Old CNO had been in place for five years.
  • July - Sep 2003
  • Major restructuring from a horizontal to a more traditional vertical organization.

Roles and responsibilities of each VP changed.

  • Plant managers identified.
  • All non-union employees go through selection/bidding process.
  • Approximately 100 non-union personnel laid off.
  • November 2003, PSEG announces craft downsizing and expects about 100 union workers let go.
  • December 2003, Synergy survey starts four days after completing a Salem Unit 2 45 day outage.
  • New site performance metrics not yet available to organization prior to survey.

Purpose Three categories.

  • Nuclear Safety Culture (NSC). Includes three sub-categories.
  • Nuclear Safety Cultural Values, Attitudes, Behaviors and Practices (NSC V,B&P) that have shaped and reinforced organization's capabilities, infrastructure, and environment for nuclear safetl performance.
  • General Cultural Work Environment (GCWE) . Assessment of general culture, environmental and programmatic areas that affect organizational performance and may have an inter-dependent relationship with NSC.
  • Leadership, Management and Supervision (LMS). Leadership behaviors and practices.

Business/Resource management behaviors and practices. Personnel management behaviors and practices.

Approach to Survey Page 1

All PSEG and long-term contractors afforded opportunity to respond. CCA outputs are designed to support future interactions between management and employees to jointly develop solutions for any identified needs for cultural or performance improvements.

Sources of Input 168 multiple choice questions.

NSC has 74 questions 45 for NSC V,B&P 19 for SCWE 10 for ECP GCWE has 41 questions, some similar with NSC LMS has 53 questions.

2 write in questions/responses available to all respondents.

Synergy notes that the write-in responses are useful in determining underlying reasons for lower rating provided by targeted functional organization outliers.

Multiple choice questions are generally designed as positive statements to which respondents provide rated degree of agreement or disagreement. Scale of 1 to 5 with 3 as the anchor or midpoint.

1 is inadequate or strongly disagree 2 is less than adequate or disagree 3 is adequate or generally agree 4 is very good or strongly agree 5 is excellent or fully agree.

Forty question sets for various sub-parts.

Synergy calculated a composite cultural indicator (CCI) for NSC, GCWE, or LMS, dimensions (such as SCWE under NSC), sub-dimensions (such as Indicators and Precursors of a Potential Chilled Work Environment under SCWE), and individual questions. The CCI was the mean of all numerical responses to a particular question or set of questions. CCI's were provided with numerous sorts by functional organization.

High percentage of negative responses provide an indication of stratification. Synergy graphically illustrated percentage of negative responses by black diamonds.

1 Black diamond for >10% in NSC or >20% in GCWE or LMS 2 Black diamonds for >15% in NSC or >30% in GCWE or LMS 3 Black diamonds for >20% in NSC or >40% in GCWE or LMS Negative responses were provided with each CCI.

Survey Participation

  • 2003 CCA survey response rate was 67.2% overall.
  • Industry average is 77% for Synergy surveys.
  • Functional organizations at <40% participation are considered low responding.
  • Organizational affiliation was 97% provided, which is consistent with Synergy's experience.
  • 36% survey respondents provided wriite-in responses, which is also consistent with Synergy's experience. The responses were generally constructive in nature, but not necessarily positive.
  • See section III. for participation rates of various functional organizations.

Overall Conclusions Mean range label designations

< 2.50 significantly less than adequate 2.50 - 2.84 less than adequate 2.85 - 2.99 nominally less than adequate 3.00 - 3.15 nominally adequate 3.16 - 3.30 adequate 3.31 - 3.50 adequate to good 3.51 - 3.70 good 3.71 - 3.90 good to very good 3.91 - 4.20 very good 4.21 - 4.50 very good to excellent

> 4.50 excellent Synergy's Issue Identification Criteria Numerical thresholds represent industry standards as interpreted by Synergy. Synergy used the following thresholds for identifying whether a dimension, sub-dimension, or question response was outside 'the norm."

Nuclear Safety Culture (NSC): Dimension, sub-dimension, or question with a mean value rating

< 3.50 or a negative response pocket > 10/15%

General Culture and Work Environment (GC;WE): Dimension, sub-dimension, or question with a mean value rating < 3.50 LMS Behaviors and Practices: Dimension, sub-dimension, or question with a mean value rating

< 3.15 Significant recurring themes from write-in comments.

Significant deviations from industry norms.

Industry norms verses PSEG results by dimension:

1. Nuclear Safety Culture CCI industry norm = 4.00 PSEG = 3.73 "Good to Very Good" I 1th percentile
2. NSVB&P Dimension of NSC:

industry norm = 3.88 PSEG = 3.54 "Good" I 1h percentile

3. Overall SCWE Dimension of NSC:

industry norm = 4.40 PSEG = 4.31 'Very Good to Excellent" 1th percentile

4. SCWE sub-dimension - indicators and precursors:

industry norm = 4.28 PSEG = 4.17 'Very Good" 16th percentile

5. SCWE sub-dimension - demonstrated willingness to act:

industry norm = 4.5 PSEG = 4.45 "Very Good to Excellent" 16' percentile

6. ECP Dimension of NSC:

industry norm = 3.57 PSEG = 3.41 "Adequate to Good" 16h percentile

7. GCWS CCI industry norm = 3.5 PSEG = 3.4 "Adequate to Good" 26 th percentile
8. LMS CCI industry norm = 3.35 PSEG = 3.32 "Adequate to Good" 33d percentile
9. CAP Effectiveness: (identified as "other" dimension, not with the major three NSC, GCWS, LMS)

Industry norm = 3.68 PSEG = 3.24 111i percentile Page 4

Overall Conclusion for Nuclear Safety Culture Employee concerns regarding plant equipment and material conditionas manifested by longstandingor recurrent equipment problems, work-arcounds, and compensatorymeasures resulted in lower ratings in several NS VB&P sub-dimensions. Employee ratings of CAP were particularlylow. This is Synergy's #1 major key issue and opportunity for improvement at PSEG. This key issue shows itself in any number of concerned areas identified by the CCA.

  • Several, seven, individual functional organizations provided significantly lower ratings of one or more key attributes of SCWE. The negative response rate listed is for the Indicators and Precursors of a Potential Chilled Work Environment CCI. Priority level 2 or 3 was determined based on a composite review of all the SCWE results.
  • 3 were priority level 2 (potential need for remedial action in near term).

-Facilities - yard/nuclear workers 19% Negative response rate

-Salem Rad Pro 21%

-Hope Creek Chemistry 19%

  • 4 were priority level 3 (potential need for further evaluation of underlying causes).

-Work control - on-line/cycle 24% Negative response rate

-Salem Chemistry 20%

-Hope Creek Shift Ops 18%

-Salem Mech Maint 21%

  • Employee confidence in the ECP is need of improvement. Particular functional organizations with overall ECP CCI is listed.

Leadership Business and Practices, 3.19, 11th percentile Business/Resources Management Behaviors and Practices, 3.18, 11th percentile Personnel Management Behaviors and Practices, 3.51, 44th percentile

  • Employee concerns regarding plant equipment and material conditionsas manifestedby long-standingand recurrent equipment problems, worlr-arounds, and compensatory measures affected ratings in several LMS sub-dimensions, including"Confidence in Management,," Management of Resources," and "Management of Systems and Processes."
  • Additional LMS areas with low ratings include:

Effectiveness of Leadership in Establishing and Implementing Strategies and Plans and in Providing Clear Direction for Organizational Issues Effectiveness of Management Change Page 6

II. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

  • Generally the respondents completed the questionnaire anonymously during group meetings. However, opportunities were available at the individuals discretion.
  • Trends. First CCA survey provided by Synergy. Trend limited to seven survey questions that request responses based on utoday" and "a year ago."
  • Percentile was calculated based on 21 Synergy site surveys performed within the last 2 years.
  • Survey and questionnaire and associated write-in comments were complimentary in establishing a high degree of confidence that important issues were identified as these apply to PSEG Nuclear-wide and to specific PSEG Nuclear major organizations and sub-organizations. The information obtained has been integrated in the development of key findings, opportunities for improvement and conclusions.

  • For NS VB&P, Nuclear safety is the first and overriding priority at our site. CCI 4.09/Negative RR 4%

Four other similar questions were considered relative strengths and included:

At our site, we conduct operations, maintenance and modifications in accordance with the design bases. 3.91/ Negative response rate 2%

Lack of prior responsiveness by my supervisor is not having an adverse impact on my willingness to identify and pursue resolution of potential nuclear safety issues or concems. 3.86/Negative response rate 8%. NRC comment: interesting to note that as a relative strength, this question also identified weak outliers.

Page 13

For SCWE, If I identified a potential nuclear safety issue or concern (including a degraded condition that could adversely affect nuclear safety) I would informr my supervision and or document the issue or concern. 4.55/Negative response rate 0.8%

NRC comment: interesting to note that this may have been the question with the least negative response rate. This was validated on some level but not total certainty.

  • Two other similar questions were considered relative strengths.

NSC Areas of Relative Weakness

  • For NS V,B&P, I am confident that the CAP will ensure that potential nuclear safety problems are addressed in a timely manner. CCI 2.95/Negative RR 31%
  • Nine other similar questions responded at less than 3.30 CCI, significant need for improvement.
  • Eleven other similar questions responded at less than 3.50 CCI, need for improvement.
  • For ECP, I am confident that issues or concerns reported through the ECP will be appropriately resolved. CCI 3.26, Negative RR 22%.
  • Two other similar questions responded at less than 3.30 CCI, significant need for improvement.
  • Four other similar questions responded at less than 3.50 CCI, need for improvement.
  • For SCWE related survey questions at <3.80 (note the higher threshold) and/or negative response rates at >10%:

Vil. PSEG NUCLEAR "TARGETED" ORGANIZATIONS BASED ON 2003 CCA RESULTS.

Synergy provides a 2-step methodology.

I )Recommended investigative or remedial actions to address a targeted organization's failure to meet industry norm of acceptability.

2)Suggested actions to seek continued improvement in a targeted organization that meets industry norm but is a relative outlier with respect to PSEG Nuclear's general performance norms.

Relative priorities are also identified.

Synergy used:

1)low absolute or relative NSC, SCWIE, GCWE or LMS ratings.

2)High absolute or relative negative response rates.

Results All but one targeted organization (supply chain) are part of the site operations organization.

Also almost all of Salem Plant Manager and Hope Creek Plant Manager are targeted.

IX. OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT The major key issue and opportunity for improvement is:

Plant equipment and the material conditionof the plantsare perceived to be in a degraded conditionas manifested by long-standingor recurring equipment problems, work-arounds, and compensatorymeasures. This situationis perceived to be worsening.

Six sub-issues:

  • Management commitment to resources
  • Improving CAP effectiveness
  • Improving effectiveness of maintenance planning and scheduling processes
  • Improving effectiveness of engineering work management and control
  • Improving effectiveness of the maintenance organizations
  • Establishing increased individual ownership
  • Other priority level I opportunities for improvement include:
  • Increased emphasis on senior management expectations with respect to receptivity and sensitivity to nuclear safety concerns.
  • Improve management communications on bases of key operational decisions
  • Establish and communicate an enduing vision for PSEG Nuclear
  • Establish a more effective and productive relationship between management and union
  • Effectively implement defined strategies and plans to attain organizational vision over time
  • Establish an organizational philosophy that emphasizes and support doing things right for the right reasons and right the first time
  • Ensure management responsiveness to the results and obtain employee feedback obtained from this survey/assessment
  • Priority level 2 opportunities:

12 including: Take actions to improve employee confidence in the ECP, particularly in those organizations that provided lovw ratings.

  • 6 Priority level 3 opportunities.
  • Priority level 4 opportunity:

Improve the effectiveness of line organization self-assessment activities. Ensure that value is place on substance rather than form.

  • Major key issue is believed to also be driving lower survey numbers in a number of topical areas.

Page 21

Low ratings of trust and confidence in senior management. Many employees believe that senior management is not sufficiently committed to effectively resolving long-standing equipment problems or to investing in the long-term future of the plants.

CAP. Many employees believe that the CAP is ineffective or broken based on the results that it is (or is not) producing, particularly equipment problems. Also a concern that the current low level of confidence in CAP may be having some degree of adverse impact on individual willingness to continue to use the system.

Maintenance work planning and schedule process. Not producing results, especially equipment problems and to a lesser extent implementation of the PM program.

Adverse impacts of workload. Ineffective prioritization and management by

'due date" or 'schedule adherence' is adversely affecting ability to carry out their work effectively. Some indicate a "vicious cycle" syndrome exists. Failure to fix first time results in emergent/recurrent problems that then affects ability to effectively resolve the problems currently on their platter.

Low ratings of business management skill, behaviors, and practices. Many feel focus is on processes versus whether or not process being implemented in a manner to achieve results.

Effectiveness of Maintenance Organization. In summary, maintenance personnel are genuinely concerned about the effectiveness of their organizations performance and have offered suggestions for improvement.

Ownership of identified problems with plant equipment. Many feel that increase individual ownership and accountability is a key ingredient to ensuring success.

Related Nuclear Safety Values, B&P. Many employees correlate the current situation (i.e. with respect to timely and effective resolution of equipment problems and maintenance olf plant material condition) with a reduction in the organization's respect for Nuclear Safety as its Top Priority.

X. OTHER

  • Worst area by negative response rate (51.07%) was: Within my functional organization we have an effective work management process.
  • Best area by negative response rate (0.8%) was: If I identified a potential nuclear safety issue or concern (including a degraded condition that could adversely affect nuclear safety) I would inform my supervisor, and /or document the issue or concern. This is a NRC observation that was not explicitly described as the area with the least negative response rate by Synergy.
  • PSEG respondent write-in comments only included a single reference by one individual to a plant event for a SCWE issue. This is a Synergy outlier for plants that have similar large negative pockets for SCWE concerns.
