Overview Background on Nuclear Liability Insurance Risk
Introduce ANI Performance Indicator Areas Performance Trends “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS

Nuclear Liability Insurance Risk
$300 US Million Provided to Each US NPP Site Protection Covers Operators & Suppliers Against Bodily Injury or Property Damage Caused by Nuclear Hazard Losses Can Be Catastrophic or Non-Catastrophic Claims Defense Costs Can Be Major Portion of Claim “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS

Nuclear Liability Insurance Risk
Increased Public Awareness of NPP Effluent Releases & Perception of Personal Risk Do not differentiate between Isotope of Cobalt-60 and Tritium 1 atom Co-60 ~ 1 atom of Tritium (perception) NPP Releases Cause Harm ! Majority of Claims from Offsite BI & PD “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS

Nuclear Liability Insurance Risk
Can Mitigate Excessive Claims Defense Costs Through Evidence of Due Care and Proper Operation ANI's Performance Indicator Areas Can Be Used To Demonstrate Such Care ANI Engineering Rating Factor Program “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS

Nuclear Liability Insurance Premium
Ave Nuclear Liability Premium ~ $725,000 (Single Operating Unit) “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS

ANI Engineering Rating Factor (ERF)
Implemented 1981 Collaborative Effort Comparative Rating Basis Reflect Varying Performance of Individual Insureds and Thus the Insurance Risk to ANI Arising out of that Performance Redistribute Total Nuclear Liability Insurance Premium Based on Individual Plant Performance (Premium Neutral) 20% Credit Best Performers % Surcharge Higher Risk Performers “RETS / REMP 2004” AMERICAN NUCLEAR INSURERS
