UPDATE ON POTENTIAL AFW COMMON MODE FAILURE EVENT RESOLUTION TEAM ACTIONS Ref:
CAP029952 Copy To:
File The purpose of this message is to provide an update on the subject team actions, to recommend adjustments at this time due to progress made and to address organizational changes. Overall my recommendation is that this team be dissolved and the remaining actions remain with the responsible organizations and processes.
First, an update on the specific group tasks:
,'zincident Investigation
- Stu Thomas - Task completed
&&On-line Work Risk Management - John Anderson
- This task is completed relative to AFW in-plant work activities impacting the schedule beyond the impacts of the potential common mode plugging issue (i.e., condensate storage tank inspection, service water system flush, AFW and recirculation orifice inspections completed, and AFW returned to service with compensatory actions in place). This places the station in a base level of risk of low
".yellow" due to the AFW recirculation line rein aining in a degraded condition due to the orifice design.
Orifice design activities are in progress for replacement.
In the mean time, plant risk assessment continues to manage station work while in this yellow condition.
Resolution of this issue is expected to be extended into January, when the newly designed orifices will be available for installation and return the station to a "green " base line.
K&'Interim Corrective Actions - Duane Schoon - Task completed.
- 'IMssue Resolution Team and Root Cause Evaluat ion - Jim Freels - Issues remain open in this area. Rich Flessner continues to work on the root cause under the management sponsorship of Jim Freels.
Input from PH and PSA is required to complete the root cause. At this time, most ifnotall ofthe fac ts of the situation have been gathered and the first drafts ofthe root cause have been submitted for comment Design resolution and risk assessment activities remain open (See attached).
At this time, I am recommending that I be reheved of my team lead ership responsibilities for the AFW Common Mode Failure Event Resolution Team and the remaining activities be pursued in accordance with our normal processes. This will support my return to Nuclear Oversight and support preparations for my transition to Engineering Programs at Point Beach in January of 2003. Risk management and design resolution activities require close attention.
e- - I NPM 2002 -0642 December 5, 2002 Page 2 Attached is an update of the Charter and an action matrix to reflect status and remaining activities.
Specific areas for attention going forward include.
- 1. Coordination of design and installation activities for the new orifices, including coordination of other AFW work to minimize unavailability time.
- 2.
Resolution of newly identified electrical design issues on AFW due to new CAP's
- 3.
Completion of risk analysis work at PH1

[Kenneth O'Brien - Point Beach Auxiliary Feedwater Review Team Charter.pdf Page 1 Point Beach Auxiliary Feedwater Review Team Charter
Purpose:
The purpose of the Point Beach Auxiliary Feedwater Review Team is to systematically investigate the design and licensing bases of the Auxiliary Feedwater System and to verify the as-built and tested conditions of the system satisfy those bases.
Objectives: The objectives of this review team are to revalidate the design bases by:
?? Determining if the Auxiliary Feedwater System is currently designed.
constructed, operated, maintained and tested to meet the requirements of the design and licensing bases
?? Documenting any identified discrepancies in the corrective action program 7?
Facilitating the resolution to any identified discrepancies 7?
Ensuring the design bases documents accurately reflect their conclusions.
Scope: The scope of this review is to include, but not limited to, the Point Beach Operating License and Attachments, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, applicable regulatory commitments and correspondence, applicable plant drawings, design bases documents, installed and pending system modifications, Operability Determinations, applicable normal operating and emergency procedures, component setpoints and bases, preventiveipredictive maintenance task scope and frequency, system parameter monitoring and trending activities and bases, applicable maintenance and testing procedures, quality assurance requirements, applicable training lesson plans and simulator scenarios.
Deliverables: Deliverables from this team to include:
?? Identification and documentation of discrepancies via the corrective action program
?? Generation of Operability Determinations as applicable 7?
Identification of Limting system margin components and scenarios 7?
Updated design bases documents 7?
Revision packages to correct document weaknesses
?? Appropriateness of safety analysis assumptions and identification of margin in these analyses
?? Comprehensive report detailing team activities, findings and recommendations

I Kenneth O'Brien - Organization Assess Charter.pdf Page 1 Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant Organizational AssessmentCharter Purpose The purpose of this assessment is to identify processes, procedures, and organizational dynamics that have resulted in continued issues with Operational and Engineering performan ces at Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant (PBNPP) and barriers to improving plant and personnel performance.
Background
The success and long term viability of Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant is dependent on the ability of the organization to identify issues and resolve them effectively to insure safe, reliable, cost effective operation.
Previous events at PBNPP indicate the organization has not been fully effective in timely resolution of plant issues. Although the station has run well and performance has improved, the pace of improvement is not sufficient to achieve Excellence in the time frame consistent with other NMC plants. Recent examples have occurred in several areas. The trend in maintenance and engineering related backlogs indicate progress has been lagging. Causes of equipment issues in the Spring 2002 Refueling Outage, related to human performance, have been evident in subsequent issues. Overall these are indications of a need to fully understand the processes and interactions that have hindered improvements.
The most recent PBNPP red finding on the Auxiliary Feedwater System identified similar potential problems.
Resolution of this old design issue required the station to reevaluate the way previous portions of the system were treated. Subsequently Point Beach identified another potential failure mechanism on this system involving the same recirculation path. The issues associated with these modifications indicate insufficient Engineering rigor and Operational oversight. The processes, procedures and organizational dynamics leading to the recent.issue need to be understood and a plan put in place for effective resolution.
The assessment team will accomplish this based on a review of procedures, processes, oversight committees, external co mmunications, interviews with personnel and observation of station activities.
Kenneth O'Brien - Organization Assess Charter.pdf Page 2 Scope The scope of this assessment will include a review of a broad spectrum of processes that have the potential for identifying process and organizational weaknes ses. In addition, to ensure a thorough understanding of past decisions and their completeness and impact on current plant operation several specific area reviews will be conducted. The following list of items will be included for review/observation.
