1. Discuss Plant Status and Inspector Insights J. Collins briefed the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel (DBOP) on plant status as follows:

• Fuel Load - 50 fuel assemblies are loaded into the core. 127 assemblies are remaining. Fuel loading scheduled to be complete on Sunday evening.

• Containment Air Coolers - Work continues on #1 CAC service water tree. A bump start of the #2 CAC was successful.

• Mode 5 Restraints - 25 condition reports and 9 work orders remaining.

2. Discuss SRI Backlog Inspection A DBOP discussion was held on resident baseline inspections related to 0350 activities verses other 0350 time requirements.

3. Discuss RAM C. Lipa briefed the DBOP on the status of the RAM. A letter with the RAM as an attachment will be sent out today. It was up-to-date last week, however it should be considered a growing document. DBOP members were asked to review the document and assignments. M. Phillips was tasked to ensure that all NCVs were added to the RAM. The current RAM size is 43 pages with over 200 items.

The DBOP discussed the issue of two tracking lists being maintained on similar issues.

The RAM and a DLPM work-off list were identified as similar products. The DBOP agreed to continue using the two lists due to the identification of sufficient differences in format and use such that the work expended was not redundant.

4. Discuss and Approve Resident Inspector Inspection Plan The DBOP approved the Resident Inspector Inspection Plan. The approved plan is attached.

5. Review and Approve Programs Inspection Plan

The DBOP discussed the request by the State of Ohio to send observers to each of the Inspections being performed at Davis-Besse. It was recognized that the MOU between the NRC and the State of Ohio that a maximum of one observer per inspection would be used.

6. Review and Approve NOP/NOT Inspection Plan This item was not ready for DBOP review.

7. Review and Approve the CATI Inspection Plan The DBOP discussed the CATI inspection plan. Eight individuals are assigned to the team. Four personnel from DRS and four contractors. Current issue for the plan is licensee work completion to properly schedule inspection dates.

8. Review and Approve the Fire Protection Inspection Plan The DBOP discussed a modified Appendix R inspection consisting of three inspectors for a one week duration. The outcome of the inspection would form the basis for an additional full Appendix R inspection this year.

9. Discuss Action Items The DBOP discussed open action items and determined actions documented in the attached Action Item List.

10. Discuss Allegations Necessary to Be Resolved Prior to Restart Items discussed by DBOP, but no general resolution was derived.

INSPECTION PLAN Davis-Besse Special Inspection for Resident Inspections Inspection Report Numbers: Various, beginning with 03-02 Inspection Background and Objectives Due to the large amount of direct inspection resources expended by the resident staff to followup on activities directly related to Davis-Besse Oversight Panel issues, the Panel decided to develop a means to allow for better documentation and tracking of direct inspection effort spent by the resident staff during evaluation of these issues, not specifically covered by baseline inspection procedures or other special inspections. The objective of this ongoing special inspection is to evaluate and document specific issues directly related to Davis-Besse restart issues not specifically covered by baseline inspection modules.

Inspection Dates The results of inspection activities, per this inspection plan, will be documented in the routine resident inspection reports. The inspection plan will be effective beginning with Inspection Report 50-346/03-02 and remain in effect for future routine resident inspection reports until the dissolution of the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel.

Inspection Procedure IP 93812 Special Inspection. This procedure implements the requirements for Special Inspection (SI) responses to operational events at power reactor licensee facilities. The IPE code to use is ER.

J. Grobe, Chairman Davis-Besse Oversight Panel

INSPECTION PLAN DETAILS I Inspectors:

Davis-Besse Resident Inspection Staff and other inspectors supporting the resident office.

II Inspection Schedule:

The results of inspection activities, per this inspection plan, will be documented in the routine resident inspection reports. The inspection plan will be effective beginning with Inspection Report 50-346/03-02 and remain in effect for future routine resident inspection reports until determined by the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel.

III. Specific Inspection Activities:

The objective of this ongoing Special Inspection is to evaluate and document specific issues directly related to Davis-Besse restart issues not specifically covered by baseline inspection procedures or other existing procedures. The inspectors will perform inspections, as required, to adequately assess licensee performance and readiness for restart, in the following areas:

• Inspecting the performance of plant activities, including maintenance activities;

• Followup of specific Oversight Panel technical issues;

• Attend and assess selected licensee restart readiness meeting;

• Evaluate licensee performance in categorizing, classifying, and correcting deficient plant conditions during the restart process;

• Review licensee controls, criteria, and assess licensee performance at meetings associated with adding work items to the back log, including deferral of work orders, work arounds, temp mods, and permanent mods; and

• Review activities associated with safety conscious work environment and safety culture.

The inspectors will utilize IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, to evaluate the risk significance of inspection findings. Preliminary findings, including green or above as determined by the Significance Determination Process will be discussed with NRC managers and with licensee managers at the applicable exit meeting.
