Following is a guideline, but scoring can result in red performance with action plans in progress.
Green Satisfactory performance with only minor open items. White Satisfactory performance due to multiple minor open items with corrective actions identified and in progress. Yellow Unsatisfactory performance due to notable (more than minor) deficiencies with corrective actions being determined and/or in progress. Red Unsatisfactory performance due to significant (or multiple notable) deficiencies with corrective actions being determined and/or in progress.
Notable changes this month: Margin Management implementation cornerstone turned red from mid-cycle assessment in August. Action plan being developed in response. Overall program
health color is not driven unhealthy by the change numerically, however it is being reviewed by owner and Manager. ECD = 9/30/12. Extent of condition SAPN 50510599 was written to evaluate other potentially misclassified programs and obtain Engineering Manager concurrence.
1. Large Motors is scheduled to present to PHC in September- Goryance. 2. Appendix R and PME programs were presented to PHC in August. Refer to Explanations Pages for specific recovery actions for all unhealthy programs.

NRC Enforcement SummaryJuly 2012 – September 2012• Inspection Reports Issued:
– Integrated Inspection Report (IR 2011-003, 8/13/12) – Midcycle Assessment Letter (IR 2012-006, 9/4/12)
• Four NCVs in the last four quarters have a cross-cutting aspect of H.1(b), Conservative Assumptions in Decision Making. The NRC noted that this represents an new cross-cutting theme, but acknowledged that PG&E had identified the theme and was evaluating and correcting the cause. The NRC is therefore monitoring PG&E’s efforts in addressing this theme until the theme criteria are no longer met.
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 6
Noncited Violations (NCVs)NRC IdentifiedJuly 2012 – September 2012• NCV (Green) – Inadequate Preferred Offsite Power System
Design Control (C-C Aspect H.1(b) Conservative Assumptions)• SLIV (Green) - Failure to Perform a 50.59 evaluation (C-C
Aspect H.1(b) Conservative Assumptions)• NCV (Green) – Failure to Follow Procedure for Control of Tools
for Use on Stainless Steel (C-C Aspect H.4(c) Oversight)• FIN (Green) – Feedwater System Weld Flaw (C-C Aspect
H.4(a) Human Error Prevention)• NCV (Green) – Entering a High Radiation Area with Dose Rates
Greater than 1.0 Rem/Hour Without Knowing the Dose Rates in the Area (C-C Aspect H.2(d) Facilities/Equipment)
• NCV (Green) – Failure to Follow Procedure Resulted in the Loss of Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System Safety Function (C-C Aspect H.4(a) Human Error Prevention)
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 7
Noncited Violations (NCVs)PG&E Identified
July 2012 – September 2012 (Continued)• PG&E Identified – Inspections of reactor vessel supports were
not performed in accordance with ASME Code inspection requirements until November 2011.
• PG&E Identified – The Unit 2 bypass valves to the main steam isolation valves were not opened as required following unit shutdown on April 25, 2012, resulting in water accumulation in the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump steam supply line.
• PG&E Identified – A Unit 2 locked high radiation door inside containment was found unsecured.

QPAR Summary and Top Concerns
Mikeal CulalaDirector, Quality VerificationPG&E
October 10/11, 2012
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 2
• Design Quality
• Human Performance Errors
• Radiological Work Practices
Top 3 Concerns
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 3
Design Quality• Outage Preparation and Execution
– The plant was challenged to complete major design modifications due to issues with design planning and implementation• Root Cause Evaluation completed (SAPN 50495407)• Significant Changes made to prepare for 2R17 outage• QV will perform an assessment of Design Quality to evaluation
effectiveness
• Contributing Factors and Insights– Failure to recognize the risk and complexity of the First
Time Projects• Did not designate as a strategic Project (Engineering Major
Project)• Ineffective management of the project
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 4
– Insight• Project management and recognition of the Strategic nature
major projects will enable the station to complete the project with a quality product
• Station management involvement through effective RRBs will improve the Quality of the design package
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 5
Human Performance• Outage performance short of plant goals
– Fundamental HU behaviors not internalized by all plant staff– Supervisors are not effectively coaching to standards– Work Instruction Quality
• Operations Status Control– Status control events continue to challenge performance
• Maintenance– Station rework did not meet goals– Corrective action includes improved observations and
coaching by management and focus on work instructions
• Insights– Supervisors and individual contributors have not
internalized basic error reduction tools into their daily routine
– Management focus on observation and training will improve day to day work activities
October 2012 DCISC Public Meeting 6
Radiological Work Practices• Self-Assessment results
– Supervisors are not enforcing standards and expectations with Individual Contributors
– RP personnel are not challenging RCA workers to adhere to RP Standards
• Corrective Actions– Training for all plant personnel on proper RCA work
practices by 12/31/12– Emphasis on supervisor coaching and observations in the

Overview of Diablo Canyon Related Emergency Planning and Preparedness
Objectives
Introduction to OESHow OES and others prepare Planning and training overview Exercises and drills informationGeneral related information
Who/What is County OES?
NPP Allocated Positions
5.5 total permanent staff positions in County OES
4.25 of the 5.5 are committed to nuclear power plant emergency readiness
In addition to the 5.5, OES currently has two temporary help Emergency Services Coordinators
General Emergency Op Area Coordinator
County OES coordinates general emergency planning, within the Operational Area between local agencies (what is an Operational Area?)
For nuclear power plant emergency planning, County OES coordinates with and between local, state, and federal agencies, as well as other organizations, and closely with PG&E.
Federal Oversight
• FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program
• Program created to address communities with commercial nuclear power plants.
• FEMA reviews and approves planning and preparedness activities, evaluates exercises and issues findings if issues are identified.
FEMA Requirements
FEMA term: “Offsite Response Organization” is a term used to refer to state, tribal, and/or local government organizations acting to protect the public health and safety offsite.
Thus, the County, cities, special districts, the State and related agencies are the OROs related to Diablo Canyon.
Offsite Response Organization
Our ORO make up is unique in that we have one common emergency plan for all the ORO jurisdictions related to Diablo Canyon - the San Luis Obispo County-Cities Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan.
OES coordinates NPP emergency planning with and between the OROs, the state, and FEMA.
Joint Emergency Preparedness
The uniqueness of this joint plan resulted in an “Emergency Preparedness Leadership Award” in 2006 from the U.S. EPA Pacific Southwest Region.
The areas recognized included the unified efforts of local agencies to plan for nuclear power plant emergencies.
Partnerships
County Departments Seven Cities Special Districts Hospitals and EMS Local Agencies Schools Non Governmental
Organizations CA counties State Agencies Federal Agencies
OES serves as a coordinating agency between partner agencies to prepare and respond to emergencies.
A sampling of the agencies we work with related to emergency readiness
Emergency Planning
The NPP plan is made up of three parts, which includes an overall administrative plan, attachments that include over 50 “Standard Operating Procedures” – or SOPs - and a third section with reference information.
The SOPs are essentially NPP individual response plans or guides for the various ORO agencies who work jointly on emergency preparedness.
Emergency Planning
Examples are SOPs for the CHP, school districts, County Office of Education, each of the five incorporated cities in the EPZ, Caltrans, State Parks, Public Works, Public Health, Sheriff, Cal Poly, American Red Cross, Port San Luis, Cuesta College, Paso Robles Event Center, Department of Social Services, among others.
Emergency Planning
There are also SOPs for various specific functions; for example, an SOP for the County Emergency Services Director, public information, offsite dose assessment/tracking, preparedness, protective action guidelines, among others.
Emergency Planning
1 NPP Admin Plan (Overview)Over 50 agency and function based SOPs
SOPs include: Checklists for each emergency position Preplanned actions based on
emergency classification level Evacuation Time Estimates Special Needs considerations Public School Relocation Carless Collection Public Notification Methods Protective Action Guidelines Exposure Control Guidelines Reentry, Return, and Recovery Ingestion Pathway issues
Emergency Planning
As just a couple of examples, the CHP SOP has predetermined traffic control points, the County Office of Education coordinates with the EOC and then in turn various school districts, the Air Pollution Control District SOP has procedures related to coordinated plume tracking.
Evacuation Times Estimate: information on projections of how long it will take to evacuate certain areas and much more info.
Training Overview
Annual Emergency Worker Training Program:
•Overview of Emergency Plans•Procedure training•Field sampling•Monitoring, and Decontamination•Exposure control•Public Information•Public Notification Methods•Dose Assessment
5,576 hours in 2011
Exercises and Drills
NPP exercises are required and evaluated by FEMA; however, we also go beyond what is required … we also request FEMA provide evaluators at times for exercises that are not required to be evaluated but we want their input.
Required exercises include plume, ingestion pathway zone, and a newly required hostile action based exercise scenario.
Full scale exercise participation may range from 200-1000 players.
Exercises and Drills
A FEMA evaluated exercise took place on December 7, 2011 for the Southern Congregate Care site (Evacuee Monitoring and Decontamination Center at the Santa Maria Fairpark).
A full scale non-evaluated, but FEMA observed, exercise took place October 3, 2012, involving many agencies and hundreds of participants.
Smaller drills take place on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Fire Protection Diablo Canyon Power Plant
Lessons Learned from Fukushima
Robert Lewin, Fire ChiefOctober 11, 2012
Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee
Fire Protection• Diablo Canyon Fire Department is an onsite
private industrial fire department.• 5 personnel on duty daily.• Fully trained and professional.• No reserve force.• Diablo Canyon Fire is well equipped with two
type 1 fire engines, a type 4 fire engine, Haz Mat trailer, Multi-Casualty trailer, Breathing Support Trailer and other resources.
• CAL FIRE/San Luis Obispo County Fire is the fire department of jurisdiction responding from offsite.
Fire Protection• Regular joint training between the departments• An annual MOU is signed clarifying each
agency’s responsibilities.• CAL FIRE is an all risk consolidated fire
department with 21 fire stations in San Luis Obispo County. We can access resources from throughout California.
• CAL FIRE responds 3 fire engines, a SLO City ladder truck and 2 Chief Officers to any fire.
• CAL FIRE is part of the offsite Emergency Operation Center Command & Control.
Regulations• Outside the power block the plant is regulated
by the County adopted California Fire Code and National Standards.
• Inside the power block the plant is regulated by the NRC which has implemented National Fire Protection (NFPA) 805 as an alternative standard. Requires specific firefighter training.
• Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) also inspects for fire safety.
Past Incidents• Over the last 30 years there have
been fires and other incidents at the plant:– 4 large wildland fires and many smaller
ones– 2 transformer explosions and fires– Insulation fire in the generating facility– Oil fires– Pump fires– Haz Mat spills
1982 Wildland Fire in Diablo Canyon

Heavy Vegetation Growth
Prescribe Burning and other Fuel
Treatment Projects
• Necessary to maintain volatile vegetation from destroying outside power supply
Do Power Plants in the US Need Off-Site firefighters?
• 104 reactors at 65 power plants.
• Only 10 have full time fire departments. Including Diablo Canyon.
• 526 firefighters were dispatched to Fukushima from off-site
IN DANGEROUS RADIATION LEVELS, THE MEN MOSTLY OVER 40, HAD JUST 60 MINUTES TO LAY 800M (1/2 mile) OF FIRE HOSE TO HELP PUMP SEA-WATER FROM THE COAST TO THE REACTOR BUILDINGS.

Firefighters vs. Engineers• Both are equally concerned with safety.• Engineers are tasked with preventing and
mitigating emergencies through good engineering.• Firefighters are tasked with preventing and
responding to incidents by reducing hazards and then mitigating an emergency after it happens.
• Engineers believe through redundancy of systems you can prevent an incident. Defense in Depth
• Firefighters believe systems and people may fail and then firefighters will be called.
Let’s make sure firefighters are trained and equipped.
• Both onsite firefighters and offsite firefighters need to be trained to industry standards and then have additional specialized training on protecting a nuclear power plant.
• Offsite responders must be required to participate in rigorous training with the onsite fire department in all areas of the plant, including within the radiological control area.
• Onsite notification systems and communications systems need to be modern and interoperable with offsite responders. Radio and cellular communication systems at Diablo need to be improved.
• The local emergency plans need to focus offsite fire departments’ emergency response onsite and limit their expectations for offsite duties.
Specific Lessons Learned
• The Diablo Canyon security needs to improve their speed in getting emergency response personnel to an emergency.
• Firefighters must understand and practice laying and pumping large-diameter hose with fire engines to the reactors and spent fuel pools from the ocean and reservoirs.
• Firefighters need to train on; time, distance and shielding on the ground, not in a classroom.
• Firefighters must be brought into the discussion with the NRC and the nuclear industry to collaborate on the surest methods to protect nuclear power plants and the communities that surround them.
• Specialized equipment needs to be stored off site where it will not be contaminated and should include personal protective equipment, water and food.
• An ordering process needs to be developed nationally to quickly order firefighters and radiological workers from other nuclear power plants to assist the affected plant.
• Plans need to be developed to evacuate nonessential employees and bring emergency responders to the plant if both access roads are blocked.
• Pacheco Road (North Road) needs improvement and to be more accessible.
• Diablo Canyon needs a new fire station built to essential services standards
• Emergency Operations Center needs to be expanded or rebuilt.
• CAL FIRE needs staff to focus on Emergency Planning
Conclusion• Diablo Canyon fire protection in many ways is a
model for other Nuclear Power Plants• Still, we need to make improvements• Fire Protection and Security at a Nuclear Power
Plant are both equally as important.• The defense against a radiological emergency is
similar to a fire:– Prevent it from happening– Contain it at its source– Control it quickly
• The Fire Department must be part of the Fukushima lessons learned discussion and implementation.
