Fermi 2 Annual Assessment Meeting CY2006 Reactor Oversight Program Monroe, MI April 5, 2007
urpose of Todays Meeting A public forum for discussion of the licensees performance NRC will discuss the licensee performance issues identified in the annual assessment letter Licensee will be given the opportunity to respond to the information in the letter and inform the NRC of new or existing programs to maintain or improve their performance
genda Introduction Review of the Reactor Oversight Process National Summary of Plant Performance Discussion of Fermi 2 Plant Performance Licensee Response and Remarks NRC Closing Remarks Break NRC available to address public questions

NRC Performance Goals Safety: Ensure protection of public health and safety and the environment Security: Ensure the secure use and management of radioactive materials Openness: Ensure openness in our regulatory process Effectiveness: Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely Management: Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRCs strategic objective
Reactor Oversight Process 3 Strategic Performance Areas are divided into 7 Cornerstones of Safety Findings and Performance Indicators are assigned a Cornerstone Findings can be assigned a cross-cutting aspect, which is a causal factor for the performance deficiency Substantive Cross-Cutting Issues can be determined if there are numerous findings with a common cross-cutting aspect or theme Human Performance, Problem Identification and Resolution, and Safety Conscious Work Environment
Reactor Oversight Process Strategic Performance Areas Safety Cornerstones Baseline Inspection Performance Indicator Performance Indicator Results Results Results Significance Significance Significance Threshold Threshold Threshold Action ActionMatrix Matrix Regulatory Response
aseline Inspection Examples Post Maintenance Testing ~80 hrs annual Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs annual Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs triennial Operator Response ~125 hrs annual Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs annual Radiation Release Controls ~110 hrs biennial Occupational Radiation Protection ~90 hrs annual Corrective Action Program Review ~250 hrs biennial Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs annual Design Basis Inspections ~400 hrs biennial

Yellow Increase NRC oversight with 95002 inspection Red: Increase NRC oversight with 95003 inspection Inspection Findings Green: Very Low safety significance White: Low to Moderate safety significance (95001)
Yellow:
Yellow Substantial safety significance (95002)
Red: High safety significance (95003)

ermi Assessment Activities January 1 - December 31, 2006 Refueling Outage March 24 - May 11 NRC Special Inspection Initiated on August 29 in response to the identification of undersized control power transformers, which rendered all four EDGs inoperable Inspection of Permanent Plant Modifications conducted July 17 - Aug 3 (IR 2006-011)
Fermi Assessment Results 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Licensee Licensee Licensee Licensee Response Response Response Response Plant performance for all four quarters of the assessment period was within the Licensee Response Column of the Action Matrix Substantive cross-cutting issue in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution was opened on August 31 Ineffective evaluations in the Corrective Action Program Substantive Cross-cutting issue has been closed as a result of adequate corrective actions by the licensee Regulatory Actions:
14 Green Non-Cited Violations (NCV)
nnual Assessment Summary January 1 - December 31, 2006 Detroit Edison operated Fermi 2 in a manner that preserved public health and safety All cornerstone objectives were met with no greater than Green findings or performance indicators identified during the assessment period NRC plans baseline inspections at Fermi 2 for the CY2007 assessment period Component Design Basis Inspection: June 25 - July 27 Problem Identification and Resolution: Aug 27 - Sep 14
