-_ 1 Dominion's I&C and HFE lExpectations Robert J. Atkinson P.E.

Lead Electrical and I&C Engineer COL Project March 2006 02005 Domnifron Dominion Fleet

• Dominion is a Nuclear Plant Operator

• Owns and safely operates 7 units at 4 sites

• Seeking an ESP for North Anna -

• Currently developing a COLA as part of DOE NP-2010 initiative'

• Does not currently have a commitment to build aocminicat 0 2005 Dominion 1

Dominion Timeline Assumptions

• Hypothetical Timeline

• Third quarter 2007 submit COLA

• NRC issue COL 2010

• Start construction 2010 E Unit operation 2014 or 2015

' Dominionr 02005DontW-o Dominion I&C Strategy a Application and Construction Process

• Three Phases a COL Application and Approval

- Begin detailed COL design

• (DOE NP-201 0 funded) mConstruction, ITAAC and Deployment a Plant Operations 0205D Dominion 2

. subject to change iCOL Phase Expectations E COL Phase Ea Dominion a's an operator will rely on its vendors to address l&C and HFE issues E Dominion will support and provide guidance

. Work with other utilities

• Unified approach

. Supply personnel as needed l Work with the industry in support of initiatives

• NRC rules development

• Review and licensing of MCR design and l&C systems Domini2on COL Phase Expectations

• COL Phase Continued

• Validation & Verification (V&V) Testing

. Critically important a Used to validate/support ITAAC requirements c Operator training Simulator fidelity 0 2005 Domirion 3

• New technologies expected to be leveraged Exceptions may be SR and critical NSR

• Wireless, Fieldbus, RFID

. Reduced installation and testing time

• Minimize Operations and Maintenance manpower requirements e zoos omrnioio 11COL Phase Expectations in NRC Regulations

• Rules defined to support timely reviews

• Needs to be platform neutral E Quantifiable in order to support ITAAC

. Minimizes risk

. Licensing of MCR 0 2005Domirion 4

, subject to change ClCOL Phase Expectations

• Digital PRA Modeling

• Used, to support NRC Regulations compliance

• Support ongoing plant operations

• Maintenance Rule (a-1)

. System out of service (a-4)

. NRC Performance Cornerstones E Defining Operability

• Operability determination

• Use digital system PRA PGomniniowf 0 2005 OomifIon COL Phase Expectations m Control Room HFE Graded Approach

• Benefits

• Rules and Regulations can be more focused

Minimize SR equipment and interfaces

. Configuration management is easier

• Licensing can be more easily accomplished D

• Management and Engineering remote access

• Intrusion is unacceptable at all levels

. Includes internal and external threats

• Emergency Operations Facilities data transmission is mandatory

. NRC links

• Corporate Emergency Operations Facilities 02005 Dominion Construction and Deployment

• Construction i Integrate plant personnel

• Manage ITAAC E Maintaining l&C Configuration Management

• Leveraged from vendor programs

• Configuration Management process development

. Not traditional l&C technician function

• Focus will be more software centered C 200S Domniron 6

isubject to change Plant Operations m Future Considerations I

• NRC Rules and Regulations I Needed to support plant operations

• Minimize impact on replacements/upgrades E Continue- I&C Configuration Management 02005ODominion Summary E Summary l Dominion will support, but COLA is main focus

• Rules must be known and realistic.

• Needed for timely reviews and to support COL

. Graded approach solution

• V&V testing will reduce startup risk and ITAAC

• Applicable to future plant operations

• Configuration management

. Provide assurance of compliance

• Minimize unplanned or unintended consequences 0 2005 Domn~ion 7
