Subject:
Hub Visit I made some changes to the schedule. Please see attached. I have also requested to PSEG the interviewees listed on the schedule. My thoughts on the individuals is that we have not fonnally sat down in interviews with the key individuals at the manager and senior manager level. I also believe that Mike Brothers has not yet had that opportunity with Hub. The last time we did this, nearly a year ago, the players were all different or in different roles. It is also important to hear what they have to say about progress towards improving the safety culture. My experience with Hub is to have an org chart available to him during the site visit pre brief and he requests lots of last minute changes. Then it is a scramble to PSEG to request the changes.
On the in-field interviews I was thinking that we could list 12 key plant functional groups that were outliers by the Synergy survey. The synopsis that Mel and I did several weeks ago, available on the g drive, could be used to identify those groups. Those twelve functional groups would be listed where I have inserted "Location."
For changes to the schedule, please continue to work off the g drive so that we all reference the correct rev.
Mel, I made the interview requests to Howard Berrick, would you please continue to work with him next week. I informed Howard that he should contact you on the interview schedule.
Thanks.

SUMMARY
Background
PSEG percentile comparisons against 21 nuclear sites assessed within the last 2 years by Synergy.
PSEG commissioned Synergy in December 2003 to perform a Comprehensive Cultural' Assessment (CCA). The CCA was to assess and monitor attitudes, culture, and performance and establish a baseline going forward.
Initial Environmental Conditions
- 3 week period to complete survey in December 2003.
- July - Sep 2003
- Major restructuring from a horizontal to a more traditional vertical organization.
Roles and responsibilities of each VP changed.
- Plant managers identified.
- All non-union employees go through selection/bidding process.
- Approximately 100 non-union personnel laid off.
- November 2003, PSEG announces craft downsizing and expects about 100 union workers let go.
- December 2003, Synergy survey starts four days after completing a Salem Unit 2 45 day outage.
- New site performance metrics not yet available to organization prior to survey.
Purpose Three categories.
- Nuclear Safety Culture (NSC). Includes three sub-categories.
- Nuclear Safety Cultural Values, Attitudes, Behaviors and Practices (NSC V,B&P) that have shaped and reinforced organization's capabilities, infrastructure, and environment for nuclear safety performance.
- General Cultural Work Environment (GCWE). Assessment of general culture, environmental and programmatic areas that affect organizational performance and may have an inter-dependent relationship with NSC.
- Leadership, Management and Supervision (LMS). Leadership behaviors and practices.
Business/Resource management behaviors and practices. Personnel management behaviors and practices.
Approach to Survey All PSEG and long-term contractors afforded opportunity to respond. CCA outputs are designed 1
I Daniel tiolody - Synergy survey review.wpa Page 2I Uanel-Iooy-snrysre eiwwarg to support future interactions between management and employees to jointly develop solutions for any identified needs for cultural or performance improvements.
Sources of Input 168 multiple choice questions.
NSC has 74 questions 45 for NSC V,B&P 19 for SCWE 10 for ECP GCWE has 41 questions, some similar with NSC LMS has 53 questions.
2 write in questions/responses available to all respondents.
Synergy notes that the write-in responses are useful in determining underlying reasons for lower rating provided by targeted functional organization outliers.
Multiple choice questions are generally designed as positive statements to which respondents provide rated degree of agreement or disagreement. Scale of 1 to 5 with 3 as the anchor or midpoint.
1 is inadequate or strongly disagree 2 is less than adequate or disagree 3 is adequate or generally agree 4 is very good or strongly agree 5 is excellent or fully agree.
Forty question sets for various sub-parts.
Synergy calculated a composite cultural indicator (CCI) for NSC, GCWE, or LMS, dimensions (such as SCWE under NSC), sub-dimensions (such as Indicators and Precursors of a Potential Chilled Work Environment under SCWE), and individual questions. The CCI was the mean of all numerical responses to a particular question or set of questions. CCI's were provided with numerous sorts by functional organization.
High percentage of negative responses provide an indication of stratification. Synergy graphically illustrated percentage of negative responses by black diamonds.
1 Black diamond for >10% in NSC or >20% in GCWE or LMS 2 Black diamonds for >15% in NSC or >30% in GCWE or LMS 3 Black diamonds for >20% in NSC or >40% in GCWE or LMS Negative responses were provided with each CCI.

- Generally the respondents completed the questionnaire anonymously during group meetings. However, opportunities were available at the individuals discretion.
- Trends. First CCA survey provided by Synergy. Trend limited to seven survey questions that request responses based on "today" and "a year ago."
- Percentile was calculated based on 21 Synergy site surveys performed within the last 2 years.
- Survey and questionnaire and associated write-in comments were complimentary in establishing a high degree of confidence that important issues were identified as these apply to PSEG Nuclear-wide and to specific PSEG Nuclear major organizations and sub-organizations. The information obtained has been integrated in the development of key findings, opportunities for improvement and conclusions.

Synergy provides a 2-step methodology.
1)Recommended investigative or remedial actions to address a targeted organization's failure to meet industry norm of acceptability.
2)Suggested actions to seek continued improvement in a targeted organization that meets industry norm but is a relative outlier with respect to PSEG Nuclear's general performance norms.
Relative priorities are also identified.
Synergy used:
1)low absolute or relative NSC, SCVVE, GCWE or LMS ratings.
2)High absolute or relative negative response rates.

P~age 20 II IX. OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT
- The major key issue and opportunity for improvement is:
Plant equipment and the material condition of the plants are perceived to be In a degraded condition as manifested by long-standing or recurring equipment problems, work-arounds, and compensatory measures. This situation is perceived to be worsening.
Six sub-issues:
- Management commitment to resources
- Improving CAP effectiveness
- Improving effectiveness of maintenance planning and scheduling processes
- Improving effectiveness of engineering work management and control
- Improving effectiveness of the maintenance organizations
- Establishing increased individual ownership
- Other priority level I opportunities for improvement include:
- Increased emphasis on senior management expectations with respect to receptivity and sensitivity to nuclear safety concerns.
- Improve management communications on bases of key operational decisions
- Establish and communicate an enduing vision for PSEG Nuclear
- Establish a more effective and productive relationship between management and union
- Effectively implement defined strategies and plans to attain organizational vision over time
- Establish an organizational philosophy that emphasizes and support doing things right for the right reasons and right the first time
- Ensure management responsiveness to the results and obtain employee feedback obtained from this survey/assessment
- Priority level 2 opportunities:
12 including: Take actions to improve employee confidence in the ECP, particularly in those organizations that provided low ratings.
- 6 Priority level 3 opportunities.
- Priority level 4 opportunity:
Improve the effectiveness of line organization self-assessment activities. Ensure that value is place on substance rather than form.
- Major key Issue is believed to also be driving lower survey numbers In a number of topical areas.
20
IlDaniel Holody - Synergy survey review.wpa Page 21 I I Du Low ratings of trust and confidence in senior management. Many employees believe that senior management is not sufficiently committed to effectively resolving long-standing equipment problems or to investing in the long-term future of the plants.
CAP. Many employees believe that the CAP is ineffective or broken based on the results that it is (or is not) producing, particularly equipment problems. Also a concern that the current low level of confidence in CAP may be having some degree of adverse impact on individual willingness to continue to use thi system.
Maintenance work planning and schedule process. Not producing results, especially equipment problems and to a lesser extent implementation of the PM program.
Adverse Impacts of workload. Ineffective prioritization and management by "due date" or "schedule adherence" is adversely affecting ability to carry out their work effectively. Some indicate a "vicious cycle" syndrome exists. Failure to fix first time results in emergent/recurrent problems that then affects ability to effectively resolve the problems currently on their platter.
Low ratings of business management skill, behaviors, and practices. Many feel focus is on processes versus whether or not process being implemented in a manner to achieve results.
Effectiveness of Maintenance Organization. In summary, maintenance personnel are genuinely concerned about the effectiveness of their organizations performance and have offered suggestions for improvement.
Ownership of identified problems with plant equipment. Many feel that increase individual ownership and accountability is a key ingredient to ensuring success.
Related Nuclear Safety Values, B&P. Many employees correlate the current situation (i.e. with respect to timely and effective resolution of equipment problems and maintenance of plant material condition) with a reduction in the organization's respect for Nuclear Safety as its Top Priority.

- Worst area by negative response rate (51.07%) was: Within my functional organization we have an effective work management process.
- Best area by negative response rate (0.8%) was: If I identified a potential nuclear safety issue or concern (including a degraded condition that could adversely affect nuclear safety) I would inform my supervisor, and /or document the issue or concern. This is a NRC observation that was not explicitly described as the area with the least negative response rate by Synergy.
- PSEG respondent write-in comments only included a single reference by one individual to a plant event for a SCWE issue. This is a Synergy outlier for plants that have! similar large negative pockets for SCWE concerns.
