Mana ement Meetin On March 20, 1987, a management meeting was held at the WNP-2 Plant site near Richland, Washington, with the individuals identified in paragraph
in attendance'.
The purpose of the meeting was to review items of mutual interest involving operation of the WNP-2 facility.
The meeting convened at 8:00 a.m.
After introductory remarks, Supply System representatives made presentations on the following subjects:
Performance Indicators/Review of Recent Operating Events Status of SALP Improvement Program
Update on Actions in Response to the August 28, 1986 Enforcement Conference Selected slides from the licensee's presentations are enclosed with this report.
During and following the licensee's presentations, NRC representatives commented on issues of cur rent NRC interest, including the following:
Root cause assessment Procedure compliance/attention to detail Control room annunciators Timeliness of the Cycle 3 reload licensing submittal Mr. Martin acknowledged the general satisfactory appearance of the plant and supporting operations and improvements observed in recent months.
He emphasized to the Supply System the need to be their own worst critic, particularly during event critiques.
He noted that formal procedures are needed that are clearly understood by those performing event assessments, and stated that what distinguishes superior performers from average performers is the thoroughness of their root cause analysis during post-trip reviews and nonconformance report/plant deficiency report (NCR/PDR) evaluations.
He stated that plant management should also continue to work at the reduction of deficient and unnecessary control room annunciators.
He observed that recent events show a need for management to emphasize procedural compliance for all levels of work.
Some of these recent events also indicate that valve control during short shutdowns needs additional attention.
In closing, Mr. Martin again emphasized the need to maintain a
self-critical attitude and active management involvement, and questioned whether the equality Assurance (gA) organization was being well used by management in aggressively evaluating the effectiveness of licensee programs and performance.
Mr. Mazur expressed confidence that the gA organization was being effectively utilized, and stated that this would be further assessed.
He also acknowledged other comments expressed by NRC representatives during the meeting and stated that the Supply System's goal is to do its job in a professional manner.
The meeting adjourned at 12: 10 p.m.

L IMITORQUE VALVE PROGRAM o
WNP-2 has 147 safety-related Limitorque Motor Operated Valves (MOVs)
o We incorporated known industry problems with Limitorque's in our qualification program o
Our response to IE Notice 86-03 developed a detailed inspection program conducted during RF86A (April 1986)
o Minor discrepancies were corrected with engineered resolutions; results documented in LER 86-019 o
At the present time, all Limitorque issues resolved on all safety-related valves o
We are extending inspection program for remainder of Limitorque valves at WNP-2 (non-safety related)
o Our response to IE Bulletin 85-03 provides for:
MOVATS testing of specified valves within a two (2)
year schedule Long-term program directed at performance monitoring of safety-related valves Our program examined by Region with favorable feed-back
