NRC CY2006 Annual Assessment Meeting Catawba Nuclear Station Rock Hill, SC May 3, 2007

Purpose of Todays Meeting

  • Provide a public forum for discussion of Catawba performance
  • NRC will address Catawba performance issues identified in the annual assessment letter
  • Catawba management 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

Agenda

  • Introduction
  • Review of Reactor Oversight Process
  • National Summary of Plant Performance
  • Discussion of Catawba Plant Performance Results
  • Catawba Management Response and Remarks
  • NRC Closing Remarks
  • Break
  • NRC Available to Address Public Questions

Region II Organization William Travers Regional Administrator Victor McCree Deputy Regional Administrator Charles Casto Joseph Shea Director Division of Reactor Projects Director Division of Reactor Safety Harold Christensen Kriss Kennedy Deputy Director Deputy Director Jim Moorman Regional Specialists Branch Chief Catawba Nuclear Station Project Engineer Andrew Sabisch; SRI Curt Rapp, SPE Gordon Williams, RI Lee Harmon, OA

NRC Performance Goals PRIMARY GOALS Ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment Ensure the secure use and management of radioactive materials OTHER GOALS

  • Ensure openness in NRC regulatory process
  • Ensure that NRC actions are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely
  • Ensure excellence in NRC management to carry out the NRCs strategic objective

Reactor Oversight Process The NRC monitors plant performance in three major areas:

Reactor Safety (avoiding accidents or transient & reducing their consequences if they occur)

Radiation Safety (both plant workers & the public during routine operations)

Security (protection of the plant against sabotage or other security threats) . . . . .

Major changes in the post-9/11 environment

Reactor Oversight Process Reactor Oversight Process The ROP includes two separate sources of information:

  • Inspections conducted by NRC personnel
  • Performance Indicators developed from data provided by licensees Inspectors can be Site-based or Region-based Together they provide a composite picture of how the plant is being operated

Examples of Baseline Inspections z Equipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr z Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrs z Operator Response ~125 hrs/yr z Emergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yr z Rad Release Controls ~110 hrs every 2 yrs z Worker Radiation Protection ~90 hrs/yr z Corrective Action Program ~250 hrs every 2 yrs z Corrective Action Case Reviews ~60 hrs/yr
