MEETING MINUTES: Internal IMC 0350 Oversight Panel Meeting Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station DATE: January 31, 2003 TIME: 1:00 p.m. Central ATTENDEES:

J. Grobe D. Passehl J. Collins B. Dean M. Phillips D. Hills J. Hopkins J. Jacobson C. Lipa C. Thomas Agenda Items:

1. Discuss Plant Status and Inspector Insights

• Integrated Safety Features Actuation Systems test was performed for train #1.

Discrepancies included #3 Service Water Pump not starting and the suction valve for #1 Decay Heat Pump not operating properly. Troubleshooting and retesting is scheduled for the weekend.

• The emergency sump screens are being prefabricated.

• The schedule was moving on key inspection items. The Normal Operating Pressure test is scheduled for March 13, 2003.

2. Discuss Allegation Status M. Phillips provided a summary to the DBOP of all allegations made on Davis-Besse since January 2002 for review. A summary of the results indicated 29 concerns were identified in a nine month span. Approximately 50% were substantiated. A total of 20 chilled environment issues were raised with 8 substantiated, 4 being reviewed, and three limited in review due to individuals not wishing to communicate with the NRC.

The Davis-Besse Oversight Panel (DBOP) took actions to identify items for restart. An effort was deemed necessary to determine if the problems were fixed, currently ongoing or both. A review was agreed upon for current effects of these issues. Major areas of emphasis were noted in personnel integrity, equipment operability, discrimination and safety conscious work environment. The possible drafting of a chilled effect letter to the licensee was discussed.

3. Discuss/Approve Special Inspection Plan for Resident Inspector Activities This item was reviewed and comments produced by the DBOP.

4. Discuss End-of-Cycle Document This item was reviewed and comments produced by the DBOP.

5. Discuss Items from 1/21/03 Panel Meeting which were identified during the 1/9/03 Inspection Scheduling Meeting SSDI - The consensus of the 0350 panel members was that the SSDI scope had been sufficiently covered in the system health inspection and therefore completion of the SSDI could be credited and the currently scheduled one can be removed from the schedule. This is documented with todays minutes.

Heat Sink Inspection - After a briefing by Marty Farber, the consensus of the 0350 panel members was that the heat sink inspection scope had been sufficiently covered in the system health inspection and therefore the completion of the heat sink inspection could be credited and the currently scheduled one can be removed from the schedule. This is documented with todays minutes.

Modification/50.59 Inspection - Marty Farber was tasked with looking more closely at what was covered in the system health inspection and determining whether the scope of the modifiction/50.59 inspection was already completed. He then needs to come back to the 0350 panel with his recommendation. Action item added to track this.

Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection - The 0350 panel members agreed that if the Corrective Actions Team (CAT) inspection is scoped appropriately then it should capture the scope of the P&IR inspection. Therefore, this inspection can be removed from the current schedule. When Zelig Falevits picks up the CAT inspection, he should ensure it is scoped accordingly. Action item added to track this.

Once DRS has developed a draft CY-2004 baseline inspection schedule for Davis Besse (in conjunction with the upcoming regional inspection planning meeting), the 0350 panel members requested that DRS brings this back to the 0350 panel for review.

Action item added to track this.

Discuss Appendix R Meeting - Need to factor the results of R. Gardners meeting with licensee so that the Panel can factor this into the inspection plans for the corrective action team inspection and restart readiness team inspection. Action item added for Ron Gardner to brief the DBOP on Appendix R inspection plans before restart.

6. Discuss Action Items Items discussed as attached.

7. Discussion of Licensing Issues and Actions The DBOP discussed licensees actions to meet TS 4.5.2.h. It was determined that the licensee verified pump flow at 0 psig and then used pump curves to extrapolate the pump performance at higher pressures. Item to be added to the RAM for tracking.

8. Discuss/Update Milestones and Commitments The following items were discussed by the DBOP:
