OE Lessons Incorporated into Actual work - A Success

• IPEC: ALARA Savings

- Exposure Reduction - Resin Transfer

• Dose savings: 0.500 Rem -> 0.050 Rem

• Pilgrim: Plant Reliability

- Prompt actions to remove a Unit Aux Transformer from service prior to failure

• Lessons from prior industry events 6

OE Lessons Incorporated into Actual work - A Success

• ANO: Safety Initiative:

- Prior to ANO Unit 1 steam generator replacement outage, an event at another station occurred with the same type of lifting device that ANO was using to move the steam generators. The event involved some hydraulic hoses to the wedge assemblies reversed during installation because the hoses had no identifying marks. This led to all the lifting strand wires falling out of the strand jack and landing on the reactor cavity deck approximately 100 feet below 7

Sharing & Learning From OE

• Waterford 3

- Katrina Lessons from Hurricane Andrew allowed the response teams to develop a systematic and complete check list to allow the safe restart of WF3

• Plant Re-Start OE Usage

• Emergency Planning Actions Lessons Learned from 2004 and Andrew 8

OE in Closing Operating Experience is vital in:

- Improving Personnel Safety

- Reducing Human Performance Errors

- Improving Plant Performance

- Allows our workers to perform a job/task better
