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.

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.

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.
