Point Beach Annual Assessment MeetingReactor Oversight Program -CY 2006Nuclear Regulatory Commission -Region III Two Creeks , Wisconsin March 28, 2007 2 Agenda Introduction Review of Reactor Oversight ProcessNational Summary of Plant Performance Discussion of Plant Performance Results Licensee Response and Remarks NRC Closing Remarks BreakNRC available to address public questions 3Purpose of Today's Meeting

• A public forum for discussion of the licensee's performance

• NRC will address the licensee performance issues identified in the annual assessment letter

• Licensee 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 4Region III OrganizationJames L.

Ensure that NRC acti ons are effective, efficient, realistic, and timely Management

Ensure excellence in agency management to carry out the NRC'sstrategicobjectives 7Reactor Oversight Process

• 3 Strategic Performance Areas are divided into 7 Cornerstones of Safety*Findings and Performance Indicators are assigned a Cornerstone

• Findings can be assigned a cross-cutting aspect, which is a causal factor to the performance deficiency

• Substantive Cross-Cutting Iss ues involve numerous findings with a common cross-cutting aspect, often in multiple

Cornerstones

• Human Performance, Problem Identification and Resolution, and Safety Conscious Work Environment 8Reactor Oversight ProcessSafetyCornerstonesBaseline Inspection ResultsSignificance ThresholdAction MatrixSignificance ThresholdPerformance IndicatorResultsRegulatory ResponseStrategicPerformance AreasSafetyCornerstonesBaseline Inspection ResultsSignificance ThresholdAction MatrixSignificance ThresholdPerformance IndicatorResultsRegulatory ResponseStrategicPerformance Areas 9 Examples of Baseline InspectionsEquipment Alignment ~80 hrs/yr Triennial Fire Protection ~200 hrs every 3 yrsOperator Response ~125 hrs/yrEmergency Preparedness ~80 hrs/yrRad Release Controls ~110 hrs every 2 yrsWorker Radiation Protection ~90 hrs/yrCorrective Action Program ~250 hrs every 2 yrsCorrective Action Case ~60 hrs/yr Reviews 10Significance ThresholdPerformance Indicators Green: Only Baseline Inspection White:May increase NRC oversightYellow:Requires more NRC oversight Red:Requires more NRC oversight Inspection Findings Green:Very Low safety issue White:Low to moderate safety issueYellow:Substantial safety issue Red:High safety issue 11 Action Matrix Concept Increasing Safety Significance Increasing NRC Inspection Efforts Increasing NRC/Licensee Management Involvement Increasing Regulatory ActionsLicenseeResponseRegulatoryResponseDegradedCornerstoneMultiple/Rep.Degraded CornerstoneUnacceptablePerformance 12National Summary of Plant PerformanceStatus at End of CY 2006Licensee Response 70Regulatory Response 24Degraded Cornerstone 6Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone3Unacceptable 0Total103 13 National Summary Performance Indicator Re sults (at end of CY 2006)Green 1843White 11Yellow 0Red 0 Total Inspection Findings (CY 2006)Green 676White 13Yellow 0Red 0 14 Point Beach Assessment ResultsPoint Beach remained in the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column of the Action Matrix throughout the assessment period. This was due to:Red findings associated with a potential common mode failure of the Auxiliary Feed Water Recirculation LineRed and Yellow findings associated with the design of Auxiliary Feed Water Recirculation OrificesConfirmatory Action Letter was closed on November 30, 2006.
