Box 968 3000 George Washington Way Richland, Washington 99352 Attention:
Mr. D.
W. Mazur Managing Director Gentlemen:
Subject:
Management Meeting This refers to the Management Meeting held with members of the Supply System staff at Supply System Headquarters in Richland, Washington, on January 5, 1989.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss items of interest pertaining to activities authorized by NRC License NPF-21.
Subjects discussed during the meeting are summarized in the enclosed meeting report 50-397/89-05.
You stressed during thi. meeting, as on previous occasions, that the Supply System will not be satisfied with average performance, but is determined to perform in the top 10Ã of the nuclear industry.
It is apparent that progress is being made in improving overall performance, especially in reducing scrams, safety system actuations, and personnel errors.
We also note that program improvements have been and continue to be made in the Operations, Engineering, and guality Oversight areas.
As discussed during our meeting, however, we also have observed that addi-tional responsiveness or attention to safety and gA issues is needed.
Examples discussed were:
Some recent problems have beer dealt with by line management only after encouragement hy safety= oversight group: or the NRC.
Ci recent example was the observed leakage of nitrogen into containmert from the contain-ment instrument air system, requiring frequent venting for containment pressure control.
- In addition to increased attention by line organizations, it appears that your engineering groups must become more involved in the resolution of technical proble'ms such as the one discussed above.
To sustain the improvement observed in recent months, your senior management should become more visible in various areas of the plant to continually convey to the plant staff their interest in good performance.
These examples appear to reflect average performance, and represent weaknesses which must be overcome if the Supply System is to achieve its goal of being a
top 10Ã performe JAM 2< ]gag We appreciated the opportunity to meet with the chairman of your Executive Board's Operations Committee and the members of your Corporate Nuclear Safety Review Board, during this meeting.
We believe that meetings such as this one are of significant benefit in maintaining effective communications'between the Supply System and the NRC.
In accordance with 10,CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this meeting, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, W'

~Back round'n August 18, 1988, a meeting was held with various members of Supply System senior management to discuss the findings of the NRC SALP Board for the period ending Nay 31, 1988.
This meeting, held on January 5, 1989, was intended to follow, up on those topics and discuss other actions being taken by the Supply System in response to the findings of the SALP Board.
Other areas discussed included actions in progress to provide improved performance by guality Assurance and other safety oversioht groups.
NRC representatives also discussed issues of current NRC interest.
Selected slides from the licensee's presentations are included as an enclosure to this report.
3.
The meeting convened at 8:00 a.m.
The Regional Administrator opened the meeting by stating that the purpose was to discuss topics of mutual interest in an effort to avoid missed signals of mutual expectations.
Nr. Martin stated that the meeting was also needed to determine how the action plan developed by the Supply System as a result of the last meeting was progressing.
Finally, he noted that it provided an opportunity to discuss perceptions regarding Supply System performance at a point roughly half-way through the SALP period.
Nr. Nazur then introduced various dignitaries in attendance from the State of Washington, the Supply System Board of Directors, and the Corporate Nuclear Safety Review Board (CNSRB).
He explained the Supply System's strategic gian through 1995, which includes a commitment to improved performance.
He then discussed the Supply System's current emphasis on management training.
Nr. Oxsen then reviewed the meeting agenda, noting that plant performance had improved and that the Supply System had taken some positive steps which included: Completion of the first system SSFI Conduct of management training Ordering of a new simulator
Organizational improvements involving the movement of 54 people to different positions Nr. Oxsen stated that the backlog of resolutions to identified problems appeared to exceed the capacity of the Supply System staff, and that the Supply System was evaluating the need to obtain additional resources on a te'mporary basis to assist with disposition of the problems.
He concluded his opening remarks by expressing his belief that the performance of the Supply System and the WNP-2 plant had improved over the past six months, although additional improvement was needed.
Nr. Powers then discussed plant performance in the light of recent achievements and shortcomings.
He also discussed performance indicators and stated that he believed plant performance had turned in a positive direction.
Mr. Powers went on to discuss recent operating events e.g., degraded'oltage relays and containment purge valves.
Regarding the November 21, 1988, issue involving the degraded voltage relays, he stated that he recognized Plant Management had made a non-conservative decision regarding the applicability of Technical Specification 3.0.3 and the requirement to initiate a plant shutdown.
He also discussed responsiveness to gA findings and other operational concerns.
Nr. Hartin noted the plant's improved performance during the last half of 1988, and stated that it may be based on solid progress in focusing attention on important areas, or may be a period of good luck -- time will tell.
He noted in particular that performance was good in the area of scrams and safety system actuations, and encouraged the Supply System to continue its efforts in this area.
However, he admonished the licensee for a perceived lack of responsiveness to safety and gA issues, noting that some issues were dealt with only after encouragement by safety oversight groups or the NRC.
For example, nitrogen leakage into the containment (from the containment instrument air system) had not been dealt with, with the result that frequent venting was necessary for pressure control.
Nr. Hartin alluded to the Supply System's goal of performing in the top 10/ of the nuclear industry, and stated that this is not the way a top 10'. perfoimer reacts to such problems.
He noted that the Supply System has for a long v.ime had ~he capacity to excel, and that there is opportunity for continued improvement.
He expressed his impression that engineering needs to be more involved in the resolution of such technical problems.
Nr. Mazur stated that-the Supply System's goal is still to be a top 10% performer or better.
He stated that their plate was full and that he wasn't making any excuses, but was pleased with their progress so far and that he felt their sights were set in the right direction, Nr. Bosted pointed out the virtues of proactive initiatives vice reactive responses.
This was acknowledged by Mr. Mazur.
Mr. Pisarcik then presented a health physics performance assessment which involved conclusions and corrective actions from a review that was conducted of 1988 Radiological Occurrence Reports.
Nr. Yuhas pointed out the various prot )er ~ exeter'r r~r ec bv argy } pr licer ~@~~> with ncstjr~ pf'igh i.-.0ir~, lAn area~. r.<<~~ei v~u aiiaa wIi~-2 nas nao some s>ms lar prooiems and shou!o renew efforts to provide improvement in this are Mr. I,'addel then made a presentation concerning the schedule and scope of the April 1989 refueling outage.
Mr. Harrold reviewed the status of the Supply System's Engineering Improvement Plan.
He noted that the plan had been issued on December 16, 1988, and was well on its way to implementation.
This in'eluded the adoption of a Program Leader concept and improvements in span of control brought about by the establishment of 12 new engineering supervisor positions.
He stated that planning and scheduling improvements had been implemented in October 1988 for refueling outage items and in December for non-outage items, and that by February 1989 he would have the capability to provide work schedules for individual design engineers.
He also noted that schedules allow an extra 50K manhour allowance for checking and verification of the design engineering work.
Mr. Harrold also described the benefits being realized from the recently established Modification Review Committee and Design Review Board.
The Modification Review Committee, which had held 90 meetings so far, is composed of plant, engineering, and design oversight representatives, and provides improved communication (including plant walkdowns) on the best ways to implement a desired design change.
The Design Review Board provides an overview of the design process, including criteria, review of'udit results, and consideration of training effectiveness.
Mr. Harrold also discussed, other engineering p'rocess enhancements and the status of engineering work for the 1989 refueling outage.
Additional detail is provided in the enclosure.
Mr. Bouchey then discussed recent Licensing and Assurance initiatives and changes.
These included completion of the revised staffing plan discussed during the previous management meeting, relocation of the operational assurance manager to the plant site, establishment of an Engineering Assurance group and a dedicated Root Cause Assessment group, and additional emphasis on followup to ensure appropriate corrective actions for identified problems, He stated that gA audits had been changed to a performance-based approach and were producing meaningful findings.
He also noted that the Supply System's first SSFI, on the Low Pressure Core Spray System, had been completed, and would be discussed by Mr. Dyekman.
After this presentation, Mr. Martin commented that he was encouraged by the developments in Engineering and gA, and stated that the NRC would look at the substance of the design engineering work and safety oversight group activities in the months ahead, along with the aggressiveness of the line organizations in correcting identified weaknesses.
He noted that big problems develop from numerous small problems which accumulate over a period of time, and that it is gA's responsibility to identify and encourage correction of small problems before they become big ones.
Mr. Dyekman then discussed the recent SSFI the Supply System had com-pleted on the Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) system.
He noted that this had resulted in 183 observations, including 16 nonconformance reports (NCRs), which would provide for more reliable system operation.
In
- response to a question from Nr. Johnson, he and other licensee represen-tatives stated that the SSFI had not accomplished one of the initial goals, which was to, verify the adequacy of the process used to update the design data base on the LPCS system.
Nr. Bouchey stated that he would take action to ensure proper validation of this process.
Mr. McKay then made a presentation on Operations Department initiatives and commitments.
Nr. Harmon followed by discussing recent Maintenance Department initiatives.
Mr. Powers concluded the Supply System's presentation by stating that he had heard the various messages from the NRC and was taking them to heart.
He believed actions being taken would be effective in turning performance around.
He stated that the Supply System staff was looking forward to the months ahead with confidence, but with the, attitude that further improvements need to be made.
Nr. Martin stated that this was the proper attitude to distinguish them between an average performer and a top 10K performer.
4.
Closinc Remarks Nr. Martin concluded the meeting by asking licensee representatives which of them believed they spend enough time in the plant.
He noted that to sustain the improvement observed, more management presence was needed in the plant, based upon security access data he had reviewed.
He encouraged the licensee to keep up the good work, get more aggressive in dealing with technical problems, and get into the plant more often.
Nr. Mazur agreed with these concluding assessments.
