Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Annual Assessment Meeting Open House June 21, 2016 2015 Reactor Oversight Process Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III

Our Mission To license and regulate the nations civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment.

2

Materials Reactors Waste What We Regulate

Radon Military X-Rays What We Dont Regulate

Some Nuclear Facts 100 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.

Nuclear materials are used in medicine for diagnosis and cancer treatment.

Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, such as in density gauges, flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and irradiators.

NRC Performance Goals Safety - Ensure adequate protection of public health and safety and the environment Security - Ensure adequate protection in the secure use and management of radioactive materials 6

NRC Annual Assessment Summary FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company operated the station safely and in a manner that preserved the public health and safety and protected the environment.

Davis-Besse was in the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix in the third quarter of 2015 Davis-Besse was in the Regulatory Response Column in first, second, and fourth quarters of 2015 due to one or more Greater-than-Green violations associated with the Physical Protection cornerstone No Cross-Cutting Themes were identified Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 14 14

NRC Inspection Activities 5761 total hours expended by NRC on Reactor Oversight Process activities 2429 inspector hours of direct inspection activity 638 inspector hours reviewing and observing plant operating status 1500 inspector hours of preparation for and documentation of inspection activities 1194 hours0.0138 days <br />0.332 hours <br />0.00197 weeks <br />4.54317e-4 months <br /> for other Reactor Oversight Process elements (e.g., assessments and communications) 15 Davis-Besse 2015

NRC Inspection Activities 2 resident inspectors on site - residents produced four quarterly inspection reports and walked through the plant daily 24 other inspectors participated in various inspections 3 major team inspections Supplemental Inspection for a Regulatory Response column entry Component Design Basis Inspection Biennial Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station for 2015 16

Significance Threshold Green Baseline Inspection White Requires additional NRC oversight Yellow Requires more NRC oversight Red Requires most NRC oversight Performance Indicators Inspection Findings Green Very low safety issue White Low to moderate safety issue Yellow Substantial safety issue Red High safety issue 17

Davis-Besse PIs and Findings All Green Performance Indicators 9 Green/Severity Level IV Inspection Findings 1 or more Greater-Than-Green Inspection Findings associated with the Security Cornerstone January 1 through December 31, 2015 18

Safety Significant Findings One or more Greater-Than-Green Findings carryover from 2014 Corrective Actions Found Sufficient during Inspection in Second Quarter of 2015 Davis-Besse transitioned to Licensee Response Column at beginning of third quarter 2015 One or more Greater-Than-Green Findings in fourth quarter of 2015 Davis-Besse transitioned to Regulatory Response Column at beginning of fourth quarter 2015 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station

NRC Inspection Findings Failure to maintain Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Computer Model results in a non-safety piping failure Failure to install and control reactor coolant pump seal vent flexible hoses per design analyses Failure to request and obtain a license amendment for use of an unreviewed method of analysis for the capability of the shield building Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Some Examples of Green Findings 20

NRC Inspection Plans for 2016 NRC Plans Baseline Inspections for 2016 This includes the following major team inspections:

Post License Renewal Inspection (completed)

Triennial Fire Protection Inspection Initial Reactor Operator License Examinations Supplemental Inspection for one or more Greater-Than-Green inspection findings 21 Davis-Besse Nuclear Plant

22 Mitigating Strategies (MS) & Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation (SFPI) Order

• MS Order requires strategies to cope with a long term loss of safety systems

• SFPI Order requires plants to be able to tell if water is at or above certain levels

• Site Audit was performed in November 2015

• Site Safety Evaluation scheduled to be issued after the NRC receives the site compliance letter

• Regional inspection of MS inspection (TI 191, Rev 1) will be performed after Safety Evaluation issued Davis-Besse Fukushima Recommendations Status

Davis-Besse Fukushima Flooding Response Status Flooding Hazard Reevaluations

- Reevaluate Hazards using present-Day information

- Flooding Was Submitted March 2015

- Staff assessments will be issued by December 2016

- Inspectors completed TI-190 which verified a licensees interim actions were appropriate to mitigate the reevaluated flood levels.

Licensees will address the reevaluated flood heights as part of their Mitigating Strategies Assessment, and if impacted take one of four potential paths:

1) No change; 2) procedural change;

3) physical modifications; 4) Revised Mitigating Strategies 23

24

• Seismic Walkdowns

- Verify that the site can meet its current requirements for hazard protection

- Walkdowns are complete; Staff assessments issued

• Seismic Hazard Reevaluations

- Reevaluate Hazards using present-Day information

- Seismic Reevaluations submitted March 31, 2014

- NRC assessment of the licensee submittal was issued on August 25, 2015

- NRC assessment in letter dated October 27, 2015, stated that a full seismic risk evaluation was not required

• Sites will evaluate the impacts of the updated Seismic hazards as part of their mitigating strategies assessment.
