HU Excellence Plan Focus Areas l Focus Areas l Behavior Change and Reinforcement l Procedures l Risk Identification and Mitigation l Work Control l Key Enabler l Training 5 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Behavior Change and Reinforcement Key Actions l 17 Key actions l Increased First Line Supervisor oversight of field activities l Conducted Leadership Assessment l Conducted Accountability training to all site personnel l Site Leadership completed a Leadership workbook l Established Supervisor Steering committee l Enhanced oversight and training of Supplemental Personnel 6 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Behavior Change and Reinforcement Key Actions l Implemented Dynamic Learning Activities l Implemented new Observation program in September 2009 w Allowed better trending of data w Improved entry and monitoring process w Implemented at a fleet level w Implemented in-process Technical review observations w Improved Major Projects utilization of the observation program l Developed, proceduralized and implemented consistent HU clock reset criteria 7 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Behavior Change and Reinforcement Key Actions l Communicated HU Excellence Plan site-wide l Established HU Program Oversight w HU Program Manager position reporting to Director of Site Operation w Human Performance Core Team lead by HU Program Manager as the implementation arm of the HUSC w Human Performance Steering Committee (HUSC) as the senior site management team w Review Boards w Shared learning through site and fleet communications w Nuclear Safety Review Committee standing agenda item l Established and communicated NGG Leadership Behaviors 8 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Behavior Change and Reinforcement Key Remaining Actions l Develop supervisor training guideline to support line employee transition to supervision l Perform Self-Assessment of monthly observations in comparison to monthly Nuclear Condition Reports to evaluate effectiveness of identifying, coaching & correcting behaviors at a low threshold l Conduct a Supervisory effectiveness Self-Assessment l Implement a training strategy to improve performance of supplemental craft, supervision and supplemental project management oversight 9 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Procedures Key Actions l 46 Key Actions l Site personnel completed an Adverse Human Performance Trend, Procedure Use and Adherence /

Work Management Activities, workbook l Implemented industry best practices Procedure Use and Adherence standards into a fleet NGG procedure l Placekeeping requirements established for procedures and work orders l Developed and implemented a plan (resources &

timeline) to accelerate upgrade to site procedures and work off PRR backlog 10 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Procedures Key Actions l Implemented a graded approach to planning to prompt more rigorous reviews for pre-defined work activities l Developed and implemented process for early identification of work activities requiring increased rigor reviews to confirm procedure adequacy l Established maintenance planning review committee l Proceduralized requirements for quality critical work tasks 11 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Procedures Key Remaining Actions l Revise procedure writers guide to incorporate HU & industry best practices (Human factors) l Formalize the use of checklists for procedure writers and procedure reviewers l Work the plan to accelerate upgrade to site procedures and reduce PRR backlog l Conduct training on the Engineering Product Quality procedure focusing on processes and tools to improve quality 12 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Risk Identification and Mitigation Key Actions l 22 Key Actions l Risk significant activities identified, communicated, supervisor oversight established and specific mitigation measures put in place and discussed at the morning meetings l Developed and implemented procedure 0AP-060, Technical Risk/Rigor Risk Assessment l Implemented improvements to the Post Maintenance Testing process 13 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Risk Identification and Mitigation Key Actions l Implemented modification quality improvements l Revised BNP Integrated Scheduling procedure to include specific behavior changes that are expected for elevated risk activities l Implemented method to improve identification and evaluation of organizational contributors to events during Priority 1 and 2A investigations 14 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Risk Identification and Mitigation Key Remaining Actions l Perform Self-Assessment on a site elevated risk activity/task including site behaviors, procedure compliance, and barriers put-in-place l Conduct a self-assessment on the implementation of AP-60, Technical Risk/Rigor Risk Assessment 15 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Work Management Key Actions l 8 Key Actions l Strengthened requirements on written guidance required to manipulate equipment l Implemented Industry best practice for Skill of the Craft/Minor Maintenance work l Implemented OPS-NGGC-1308, Plant Status Control at BNP l Signage posted in plant to heighten awareness of work classifications and plant status control 16 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Work Management Key Actions l Revised Work Management Process procedure to make it clear that changing status of Work Order tasks to finish and using lists to track items not completed is not allowed.

l Implemented Plant Labeling upgrade 17 01/13/10 Enclosure 2

Work Management Key Remaining Actions l Complete plant labeling upgrade l Perform a site survey to verify knowledge level pertaining to the Work Management Process procedure requirements 18 01/13/10 Enclosure 2
