environment.

Some Nuclear Facts*104 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.*Nuclear materials are used inmedicinefordiagnosis 4 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.

The NRC Regulates*Nuclear reactors-commercial power reactors, research and test reactors, new reactor designs*Nuclear materials-nuclear reactor fuel, radioactive materials for medical, industrial, and academic use 5*Nuclear waste-transportation, storage and disposal of nuclear material and waste, decommissioning of nuclear facilities*Nuclear security-physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks What We Don't Do*Regulate nuclear weapons, military reactors, or space vehicle reactors 6*Own or operate nuclear power plants*Regulate some radioactive materials, such as X-rays and naturally

occurring radon How We Regulate*Establish rules and regulations*Issue licenses

• Provide oversight through inspection, ftdltif 7 en f orcemen t , an d eva l ua ti on o f operational experience*Conduct research to provide support for regulatory decisions*Respond to events and emergencies Assurance of Plant Safety*Require "defense-in-depth"*Require long-term maintenance of equipment 8*Require continual training of operators*Verify compliance with regulations What We Do -Nuclear Waste*The NRC regulates:-Storage of spent reactor fuel in fuel pools or dry storage casksand 9 casks , and-Any national spent fuel storage site, such as the

proposed Yucca

Mountain site.

What We Do -Nuclear Security*NRC Requires:-Well-armed and well-trained security forces,-Surveillance and perimeterpatrols, 10 perimeter patrols,-State-of-the-art site access equipment and

controls,-Physical barriers and detection zones, and-Intrusion detection systems and alarm

stations.

NRC Performance Goals*Safety: Ensure adequate protection of public health and safety and the

environment.

11*Security: Ensure adequate protection in the secure use and management of

radioactive materials.

Column Dresden Assessment ResultsJanuary 1 -December 31, 2010*A Substantive Cross-Cutting Issue (SCCI) in Human Performance was opened in the 2009 End-of-Cycle Assessment due to 20several findings associated with Human Error Prevention Techniques*Due to Exelon's significant corrective actions in this area, as well as a significant decrease in the number of findings related to this area, this SCCI was closed in the 2010 Mid-Cycle Assessment NRC Inspection Findings Dresden*Green -Exelon failed to monitor U3 drywell temperature to ensure that equipment operated within its environmental q ualification limit 21 q*Green -Exelon failed to perf orm a tube leak test or calculations on the 3A LPCI/CCSW heat exchanger as required by procedures*Green -Exelon failed to properly classify LPCI pump mechanical seals as safety-related
