www.energysolutions.com 11 TMI2 Commitment to Safety Criticality Safety Safe fuel mass limit exceeds the inventory of fissile material at TMI-2 Radiological Safety Focus on ALARA principles, learn from site-specific & industry experiences, and empower staff to daily challenge radiological safety due to the uniqueness of the TMI-2 source term TMI-2 Health & Safety (H&S) Policy TMI-2 makes every reasonable effort to achieve and maintain industry best Occupational H&S Program performance to protect our employees, contractors, clients, communities, and others who could be affected by our activities Employee Concerns Program (ECP)
Provides a confidential process through which individuals can raise nuclear safety concerns without fear of retaliation Corrective Action Program (CAP)
System by which issues are identified and corrected including a process for evaluating the safety significance of issues, setting priorities in correcting issues to preclude recurrence, and tracking issues until corrective actions are completed
