NRC Annual Assessment Summary Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station The Licensee, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, operated the station safely and in a manner that preserved the public health and safety and protected the environment Davis-Besse met all cornerstone objectives but was in the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix for the first and fourth quarters of 2017 White Performance Indicator for Unplanned Scrams with Complications (Initiating Events Cornerstone) in the first quarter of 2017.

White inspection finding in the fourth quarter of 2017 (Auxiliary Feedwater Pump oil level).

Baseline Inspection Activities Davis-Besse 2017

~7300 hours expended by NRC on Reactor Oversight Process activities 2900 inspector hours of direct inspection activity 640 inspector hours reviewing and observing plant operating status 1990 inspector hours of preparation for and documentation of inspection activities 1760 hours0.0204 days <br />0.489 hours <br />0.00291 weeks <br />6.6968e-4 months <br /> for other Reactor Oversight Process elements (e.g., assessments and communications)

NRC Inspection Activities Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station for 2017 2 resident inspectors on site - residents assessed plant performance on a daily basis, results documented in four quarterly inspection reports 30 other inspectors participated in various inspections There were 3 major team inspections Biennial Emergency Preparedness Inspection Biennial Problem Identification & Resolution License Renewal Post-Approval

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station PIs and Findings January 1 through December 31, 2017 1 White finding (low to moderate risk significance) during the fourth quarter Auxiliary Feedwater pump #1 inoperable due to damaged bearing resulting from low oil level.

6 Green(very low risk significance)/Severity Level IV findings NRC plans baseline inspections at Davis-Besse in 2018 with one supplemental inspection associated with the White finding

Decommissioning Overview Bill Lin, Health Physicist, Region III

Decommissioning Timeline

Plant submits written notification to the NRC of intent to permanently cease operations (FENOC/FES submitted on April 25, 2018, with intent to shutdown on or before May 31, 2020). May rescind or modify notification.

Plant submits written notification to the NRC of permanent removal of fuel from reactor vessel. Once submitted, cannot be rescinded or modified, and reactor may not be restarted.

The licensee must submit the Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) within 2 years of permanent shutdown.

Decommissioning Timeline

Major decommissioning activities cannot start until 90 days after the NRC receives the PSDAR, and notifications of (1) permanent cessation of operations and (2) fuel removal.

NRC public meeting is held near the plant for the PDSAR within 90 days of receipt.

2 years prior to license termination, a License Termination Plan (LTP) must be submitted to the NRC.

Once the LTP is submitted to the NRC, an additional NRC public meeting is held near the plant.

Decommissioning Trust Fund Shawn Harwell, Financial Analyst, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Decommissioning Trust Fund

FirstEnergy reported the status of decommissioning funding in March 2017 and NRC staff concluded that the licensee met the minimum funding requirements in 10 CFR 50.75 for the 2017 reporting cycle.

NRC continues to monitor FENOCs decommissioning financial assurance for its reactors and independent spent fuel storage installations.

The Department of Justice, working closely with NRC, will work to represent the NRCs interests in the bankruptcy proceeding, including protection and preservation of the decommissioning trust funds.

Additional NRC Actions

Following the filing for bankruptcy, the NRC implemented formalized and documented inspection activities to determine whether the licensees financial condition is impacting safe operation of the plant.

The areas for review include: impacts on plant staffing; corrective maintenance and corrective action program backlogs; changes to the planned maintenance schedule; and any impacts on emergency preparedness capabilities.
