!

Ooerations: Conservative actions were taken on increased reactor coolant activity. The plant

'

shutdown after valve LD-M-2 failed shut also demonstrated safety conservatism. Three open items were closed.

'

Radiological Controls: Management was involved in ALARA activities and worker attentiveness to radiological control practices.

Maintenance / Surveillance: Maintenance and engineering personnel took positive action to correct a failure and enhance reliability of the HPSI (High Pressure Safety Injection) header isolation -

valves. A fuel pool purification prc61ter was carefully replaced within the budgeted personnel t

exposure. Active management of repair of the letdown isolation valve contributed to successful completion of a difficult evolution. Four open items were closed.

Emergency Preparedness: An Unusual Event on August 14 was appropriately characterized. An open item on obtaining meteorological data was closed.

,

Security: A maintenance technician appropriately initiated a "for cause" fitness-for-duty test involving a contractor. When a set of keys was misplaced, compensatory measures and reporting requirements were conservatively applied.

Engineering / Technical Support: Two open items were closed.

Safety Assessment /Ouality Verification:

During a management meeting, the licensee demonstrated their ability to be. con tructively self-critic 11. One open item was closed.

L STRENGTHS i

i

'

,

The Maintenance Work Control Center (MWCC) was staffed.with an effective mix of Maintenance and contractor personnel prior to the outage. Utilizing work package ' development procedures and a ;

prioritization system, high. quality work packages were developed for all identified and emergent refueling work. Maintenance workers are assigned to the MWCC on a rotating basis in an effort to promote ownership for the final product and to help foster both respect and:

appreciation for good procedural guidance. -

In addition to the Maintenance Performance Assessment Program which a

has been in effect for a number of years, several new self-assessment

-

initiatives have been undertake.n. A. Maintenance Code of Professional

Standards has been developed by Maintenance Department Supervisors

!

at all levels to more clearly define expectations. A Maintenance Department Quality improvement Plan is in the final ~ stages of-l development receiving input from internal sources as well as from -

,

Operational Support Engineering and an independent contractor -

commissioned by the Plant Manager. This plan is not designed as a "get well" plan, but rather a " stay well and get better" plan.

The Outage Management Organization was supplemented by an Outage Planning and Integration Team (OPIT). This team was formed about four months prior to the outage and was responsible to plan the schedule,-

,

'

integrate, and coordinate inter-functional activities and be prepared to7

,

respond to emergent problems. The result of their-effort was a schedule that was credible and sufficiently detailed to keep the overall effort on

track despite several major emergent problems.

.

The Maintenance Department continues to be very responsive to supporting plant operations. Emergent issues are' reviewed at the Daily Morning Management meetings, and the Maintenance Department-addresses the emergent work as specified by.a clearly _ defined priority system with the priority set by the Plant Shift Superintendent.

l

-

-

'

.

l During the present SALP period to date, there have been no missed

!

i surveillances, no plant trips, and no' lost time accidents within the '

l Maintenance Department.

There have been no events during the current SALP period that have resulted in enforcement action within the Maintenance area.. There are t

very few NRC open items (one for which action is complete, one action

.;

pending).

,

'!

In the ALARA effort at Maine Yankee, the Maintenance Department has'

-

emerged as one of the most innovative and proactive. -initiatives have f

included development of a dedicated in-house ALARA group during the-

.

"

outage and the Maintenance Department Manager serving as ChairmanL of the ALARA Committee. The results have been much heightened

sensitivity to ALARA by Maintenance workers and'a substantial reduction

in exposure from previous outages. The 1990, Outage was 239 man-rom:

,

compared to 356 in 1988-and 571'in 1984 which was more comparable based upon radiological work performed.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT

a

.

h Further improvements are needed in relieving supervisors from

'

administrative tasks and increasing their presence at the job site.

'

.

The procedural culture that has evolved within the Maintenance -

a Department warrants increased management attention; Communication '

of management expectations regarding procedural responsibilities, the;

,

'

general quality of Maintenance procedursa, and the worker attitudes about procedural adherence are areas where improvement ' opportunities o

exist.

Material Control and traceability continues to be a problem in large part.

due to the lack of easy access,to pertinent data.

l The process currently used to qualify' Maintenance technicians to perform activities that are categorized as being "within tho' skills;of the trade," is informal and may not ensure that only adequately trained individuals perform work on equipment when 'using generic corrective

maintenance procedures.

.

The trend toward increased reliance on contractors, particularly during-i outages, has resulted in problems with adequate contractor oversight.

..

Monitoring rework, failure analysis trending, and other performance data management is done essentially by hand; Better data management

.

capability is needed.

IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES

.

The DR/RO Procedure whl:h is the main work control document has:

undergone approximately 1200 man-hours of evaluation and revision by-l a multi-discipline team ine'.uding Maintenance, Engineering, Operations,.

Quality Programs, Training, and Rad Controle representatives.

l_

l Engineering input to corrective maintenance has been enhanced and clearly defined.- Implementation is scheduled for October,1990.

The Maintenance Department is working in' concert with the Operational Support Department and Plant Management has developed a

.

Maintenance Quality Improvement Plan that should be ready fori implementation in November of 1990. The major focus of this plan will l

be on procedure quality and adherence, personnel. training and work.

practices, and job planning and ALARA.-

,

,

A computerized Maintenance System (MIPPS) has been procured and l's currently being fitted to the Maintenance Department processes. This -

system will be a significant enhancement over current manual search of -

hard copy files as necessary to identify rework issues and provide equipment trend analysis. The system'will also interface with the Stores

!

,

Procurement Systems to greatly enhance material accountability land.

,

traceability.

l j

The Maintenance Department Staffing is being increased to relieve _.

.

supervisors of administrative burden. During the current SALP period,-

E one supervisor and two facilitators have been added to the Maintenance.

Department Staff. Another. supervisor and three facilitators are currently planned for 1991.

IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE!i - CONTINUED

!

.

A post outage management retreat was held with key outage managers to discuss the outage and provide recommendations to corporate

'

management on how to better handle outages _in the future. Two major

!

recommendations resuited:

'

-

<

Staff a permanent outage management group' consisting of the' key-

outage management paraonnel and continue to supplement tho'

outage staff with people from other departments;

.

Develop a formal outage plan that captures all pertinent information under one cover. This should include everything from staff needs to parking lot assignments.

l A program is being re-impleme'nted for department manager inspections.

'

This program involves having each department manager make an -

,

.

inspection tour of a different area of the plant each week accompanied.

by a non-management member of a different department. -

SAFET( ASSESSMENT AND QUALITY VERIFICATION HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

.

SALP RATINGS OF 2 POR PAST TWO ASSESSMENT PERIODS,

" Key management oversight and involvement in plant activities continued to be proactive and aggressive, promoting a high level of safety-consciousness. Plant safety committees and managers' meetings were effective and promoted a high level of safety consciousness.

Management improvement initatives demonstrated the licensee's commitment to the pursuit of performance excellence. The QP Department provided technically sound I

audit and surveillance programs, but weaknesses in the i

identification of certain repetitive deficiencies (i.e., radiation

protection concerns) remain. The licensee's submittals in I

regard to licensing actions were generally sound and of

!

good quality, although a noted disparity between the

quality of licensee-initiated licensing submittels and NRC--

!

initiated licensing activities warrants management attention.

I Management attention to weaknesses identified by the NRC -

in emergency preparedness and physical security is warranted." - 1988-1989 SALP REPORT I-t
