3 Leveraging Operating and Regulatory Experience Industry Perspective Construction Lifecycle Issues Operator Licensing Challenges Allocating Our Safety Culture Energies 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, “Managing Fatigue” Topics of Discussion RIC 2009 Regional Breakout Session Raising Awareness of Operating NPP Issues Topics of Discussion

4 Leveraging Operating and Regulatory Experience Sources of Operating Experience – How much of what we see today is truly new? What Operating Experience is Gathered and Publicly Disseminated by NRC? Regulatory Experience – Is industry sharing issues? Sharing ISFSI Experience and Information Sharing EP & Security Planning Experience Incorporating License Renewal Experience Going Forward, “Knowing what we don’t know…”

5 Construction Lifecycle Issues Regional roles and responsibilities during construction lifecycle ►Pre-construction activities ►Construction impact on operating units ►Host region involvement (“non-construction areas” and pre-op testing) Coordination during transition to operations ►Host region involvement in operational program areas ►Operator licensing examinations ►Operational readiness reviews ►Transition to the Reactor Oversight Program ►Resident staffing transition Inter-office/region working group

6 Operator Licensing Challenges Exam quality ► application of NUREG-1021 criteria ► continuity of exam writers due to job changes/retirements Applicants ► declining performance, although not a significant decline in failure rates ► medical condition license adherence ► learning differences Licensed operator workforce ► overtime/fatigue concerns ► additional reactors

7 Trends in RO/SRO Exam Performance

8 Allocating Our Safety Culture Energies Allocating Our Safety Culture Energies NRC Regulatory Information Conference March 11, 2009 Eugene S. Grecheck Vice President Nuclear Development Dominion Generation

9 Resources allocated to actually building SC Resources allocated to developing SC metric THISORTHIS Need to focus energy on building Safety Culture, not just measuring it

10 Current NRC approach to regulating safety culture Looks at a small set of data (10-15 findings/year) Aspect determination subjective Not in line with ROP principles: safety focused, objective, transparent Diverts licensee and NRC attention from appropriate roles of direct responsibility and oversight

11 Base assessments on desired behaviors and attributes INPO Principles for a Strong Nuclear Safety Culture Common guidelines for safety culture assessments Holistic and integrated look at safety culture to permit site leadership to act in a timely manner Industry alternative

12 NRC work with industry to transition to alternative approach Create a common set of principles/components for NRC and industry NRC inspection program should include an enhanced PI&R procedure to look at effectiveness Start the dialog on implications for new construction Recommendations going forward

13 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I “Managing Fatigue” NRC Implementation Strategy ►Temporary Instruction ► Inspection procedure revisions ► Appendix C inspection procedure for allegation followup or if systematic fatigue problems are identified ► Training for inspectors Issues ► Consistency of Implementation and Enforcement ► Periodic and Infrequent Overtime ► Outage Minimum Days Off (MDO)
