In this paper, the contribution of hard processes described by the BFKL pomeron exchange, is taken into account by calculating the first enhanced diagram. The survival probability is estimated, using the ratio of the first enhanced diagram and the single pomeron amplitude, taking into account all essential pomeron loop diagrams in the toy model of Mueller. The triple pomeron vertex is calculated explicitly in the momentum representation. This calculation is used for estimating the survival probability, It turns out that the survival probability is small, at 0.4%. Hard pomeron re-scattering processes contribute substantially to the survival probability.
