0 Is in transition from performance improvement toexcellence.

) Will sustain excellence through the performance ofthe site leadership team and the support of the TVAfleet.STVA is committing the necessary resources toachieve sustained excellence at Browns Ferry andacross the nuclear fleet..3 Performance Improvements NuclearRecent success as Browns Ferry drives toward sustained excellence:

.; Improved Safety Culture> Closed Red Finding and Confirmatory Action Letter> Completed Successful U3R16 outage> Personal safety and human performance

> Dose: 164 Rem against an original goal of < 200 Rem> Demonstrated conservative nuclear safety decision making> Achieved Improved Safety Systems Equipment Reliability 4
