SUBJECT:
LIMERICK GENERATING STATION - NRC EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-352/02-011 AND 50-353/02-011
Dear Mr. Skolds:
On August 26-28, 2002, the NRC conducted a supplemental inspection at your Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 & 2 to assess the corrective actions associated with an inadequate critique of a simulator crew which resulted in an NRC finding of White significance. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on August 30, 2002, with Mr. Robert Braun and other members of your staff.
The supplemental inspection was conducted to provide assurance that the root causes and contributing causes of the White finding were understood, to assess the licensees extent of condition review, and to provide assurance that the corrective actions to significant performance issues were sufficient to address causes, and to prevent recurrence. To accomplish these objectives, the inspector reviewed your root cause analysis and evaluation of extent of condition and conducted an independent inspection to assess your conclusions. Based on our supplemental inspection, we concluded that your staff performed a sufficiently broad evaluation of the critique deficiency and subsequent corrective actions appears to have corrected the underlying causes.
Given the Exelons acceptable performance in addressing the inadequate critique issue, the white finding associated with this issue will only be considered in assessing plant performance for a total of four quarters in accordance with the guidance in IMC 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
Since the White finding was identified and transmitted to you on October 22, 2001, the end of the four calendar quarters, for purposes of assessing plant performance regarding this issue, would be the end of the third quarter of 2002.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Mr. John Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Richard J. Conte at (610) 337-5183.
Sincerely,
/RA/
