I. Introduction and Purpose Between March 6 and March 10, 2002, as a result of inspections conducted pursuant to NRC Bulletin 2001-01, "Circumferential Cracking of Reactor Vessel Head Penetration Nozzles,"
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (Davis-Besse) management informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the presence of a large cavity in the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Head adjacent to a control rod drive nozzle. On March 13, 2002, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) identifying six sets of commitments that the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) will meet to address the conditions associated with degradation of the RPV Head prior to restart of the reactor, including meeting with the NRC to obtain approval for restart. The CAL was subsequently revised on May 15, 2002, to reflect the use of a replacement RPV Head.
Prior to this point, the Davis-Besse plant had good operational performance. All NRC reactor oversight cornerstones were GREEN. Previous Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) evaluations also showed no significant weaknesses, with generally improving trends.
This Return to Service Plan describes Davis-Besse's course of action for a safe and reliable return to service. This course of action includes those actions necessary to address each of the six sets of commitments in the CAL, the near-term corrective and preventive actions necessary to address the causal factors associated with the RPV Head degradation event, and the longer term actions necessary to assure that the underlying causal factors remain corrected and that continued safe performance at Davis-Besse is sustained. In addition, the root cause related to management not promptly identifying the degradation of the RPV Head will be corrected.
The near-term actions necessary to support restart are included in the Davis-Besse Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0350 Restart List and will be discussed in an Integrated Restart Report, which will demonstrate that Davis-Besse is ready for restart and request NRC approval of restart and closure of the commitments in the CAL. The longer term, post-restart actions will be evaluated for incorporation into the Business Plan and/or the regulatory commitment management system.
This Plan consists of seven Building Blocks, designed to support safe and reliable restart of the plant and to ensure sustained performance improvements:
A. Reactor Head Resolution Plan B. Containment Health Assurance Plan C. System Health Assurance Plan D. Program Compliance Plan E. Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan F. Restart Test Plan G. Restart Action Plan Formal plans have been developed for each of the seven Building Blocks, along with implementing procedures and action plans where appropriate. These plans are available for Page 3 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
NRC review. Status of the implementation of these plans is being discussed monthly in public meetings with the NRC IMC 0350 Panel, demonstrating Davis-Besse's performance.
Davis-Besse management is being deliberate and conservative in implementing the Return to Service Plan and will not return the Station to service until it is satisfied that the Station can be returned to power and operated safely and reliably over the long-term. FENOC senior leadership is directly involved in the direction and oversight of Davis-Besse's return to service.
A Restart Overview Panel, which includes independent industry experts, is providing additional oversight and review of plant activities discovered or performed as part of the Return to Service Plan Building Blocks.
II. Restart Organization The following are the key elements of the restart organization:
- A new Chief Operating Officer position has been established and is assigned to provide corporate direction and oversight of the Return to Service Plan.
- A new Executive Vice President - Engineering and Services position has been established to provide corporate direction and oversight of engineering activities under the Return to Service Plan.
- A new Vice President of Oversight position has been established to assess the quality of Building Block and restart activities.
- Building Block Teams (Figure l) have been established to address the causal factors associated with the RPV Head degradation.
- A Restart Overview Panel has been established, consisting of FENOC executive management to provide an independent oversight of implementation of the Return to Service and Building Block Plans.
- An Engineering Assessment Board has been established to review products generated under several of the Building Blocks.
- A Senior Management Team has been established, consisting of the FENOC Chief Operating Officer, the Plant Manager, the Directors of Nuclear Engineering, Support Services, and Work Management, and independent oversight. The Senior Management Team is chartered to provide senior management review and oversight of restart activities.
- A Restart Station Review Board has been established, consisting of the Director of Support Services, site managers, and independent oversight, chartered to identify and classify items to be included in the Restart Action Database through a review of Condition Reports, Corrective Actions, and other documents.
Figure 2 depicts the restart organization and its relationship to the building blocks.
Page 4 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
III. Nuclear Oualitv Assessment Oversig-ht Davis-Besse (DB) Nuclear Quality Assessment (NQA), reporting to the Vice President of Oversight, provides oversight and verifies the adequacy of activities conducted as part of the Return to Service Plan. This will be performed by assessing key activities such as: review board meetings; in-depth technical review of engineering products; field verification of actual conditions pre- and post-remediation; and independent reviews paralleling those performed by the line organization. Specific activities are selected for review based on their safety and risk significance to provide reasonable assurance that Return to Service Plan activities are performed in a quality manner. Details regarding the activities to be verified are included in the Nuclear Quality Assessment Oversight of Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan.
NQA oversight is conducted using FENOC procedure NOP-LP-2004, Internal Assessment Process. As described in this procedure, the Quality Field Observation database will be used to document the results of these assessments. Findings and recommendations shall be documented on Condition Reports (CRs) and processed in accordance with FENOC procedure NOP-LP-2001, Condition Report Process. NQA will use the established process and develop a separate Quality Field Observation to document the overall NQA conclusion for each building block.
Assessment Team Leaders are certified in accordance with Davis-Besse procedure NA-QA-07006, Certification of Lead Auditor Personnel. Assessment team members, including technical specialists, receive training orientation in accordance with FENOC procedure NOP-LP-2004, Internal Assessment Process.
IV. Buildinj Blocks Each of the Building Blocks has been assigned an Owner and/or an individual responsible for Senior Oversight.

Randel Fast Restart Action Plan Clark A. Price Lew W. Myers Page 5 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
Each of the plans for the first six Building Blocks identifies those actions that must be accomplished before restart under that plan. The Restart Action Plan, which is the seventh building block, describes the process for classifying restart items. An internal manager-level committee, the Restart Station Review Board, reviews corrective action documents and other documents to identify issues that need to be resolved prior to restart to ensure the safe operation of the plant. In accordance with the Restart Action Plan, this board determines what actions can be taken post-restart and which are added to the Restart Action Database. This database consists of the Davis-Besse Restart Action List and the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List.
The membership of the Restart Station Review Board consists of the Director- Support Services, manager-level employees, and independent oversight. The board chairman and alternate chairman are designated by the Vice President - Nuclear.
When viewed collectively, the Building Blocks address the causal factors identified in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 of the Davis-Besse Root Cause Analysis Report, originally submitted to the NRC on April 18, 2002. Revision I to the Davis-Besse Root Cause Analysis Report was submitted to the NRC on September 23, 2002. Appendix 1 provides a matrix which correlates the Building Block actions to the causal factors identified by FENOC and the corresponding causes and missed opportunities identified in the NRC's AIT Report.
The Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan includes actions to extend and deepen the analyses of causal factors in the Root Cause Analysis Report. This includes an in-depth review, under the leadership of the new Vice President-Oversight, using formal root cause analysis tools to determine why indicators present before 2002 did not result in detection and resolution of the RPV Head degradation. This Management and Human Performance Root Cause Analysis Report was submitted to the NRC on August 21, 2002.
FENOC Nuclear Quality Assessment will monitor and sample each Building Block prior to restart. The Vice President-Oversight is a member of the Restart Overview Panel. A brief summary of the major elements of the actions and approach for each Building Block follows.
A. Reactor Head Resolution Plan Charter: Restore the degraded Davis-Besse RPV Head such that it is in full compliance with appropriate Commission rules and industry requirements.
During the Davis-Besse 13th Refueling Outage (13RFO), an inspection of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Head nozzles was performed pursuant to NRC Bulletin 2001-01, "Circumferential Cracking of Reactor Vessel Head Penetration Nozzle." Extensive corrosion of the RPV Head was identified during this inspection that required either major repairs or replacement of the RPV Head. Condition Reports were written and a Root Cause Analysis was prepared.
FENOC has made the decision to replace the degraded RPV Head with an unused one from the canceled Midland Nuclear Power Plant. The replacement RPV Head is a Babcock and Wilcox design, and with minor modifications, can satisfy the applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and industry requirements.
Page 6 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
The major attributes of this Plan include:
- Procurement and Certification of the replacement RPV Head. Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE) were performed to confirm that the replacement RPV Head is suitable for use.
- Minor RPV Head modifications, to ensure that the replacement RPV Head fits the Davis-Besse reactor. Inspection holes have been added to the Service Structure for more effective inspections.
- Temporary fuel removal from the reactor and subsequent refueling.
- Access to the Davis-Besse Containment for removal of the original RPV Head and placement of the new RPV Head on the RPV Head Stand.
- Installation of replacement RPV Head, including transfer of existing Service Structure and transfer of existing CRDM to the new RPV Head.
- Restoration, testing, and inspection of the RPV Head and Containment.
- Storage and/or disposal of original Davis-Besse RPV Head.
- Updating the Design and Licensing Basis Documents.
A temporary access opening was made in the Davis-Besse Containment vessel and shield building, allowing for the removal of the original RPV Head to its temporary storage location, and the transfer of the replacement RPV Head into the Containment building. The shield building and Containment vessel at Davis-Besse was restored to meet design requirements. An Integrated Leakage Rate Test (ILRT) will be performed to verify Containment integrity.
The degraded RPV Head is being temporarily stored at Davis-Besse. Final plans for permanent storage or disposal are under development.
Bechtel provided engineering services for the RPV Head replacement, including overall project management, detailed engineering, licensing support, quality assurance, and project controls.
Framatome-ANP was responsible for procurement and certification of the replacement RPV Head, including modifications to the RPV Head as required, providing a Certificate of Conformance documenting that the replacement RPV Head is suitable for use at Davis-Besse, and providing engineering and required evaluations to ensure the Davis-Besse design and licensing requirements are met (including ASME Code criteria).
The RPV Head replacement is a modification to the facility and is being performed in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59 criteria. Completion of this modification will resolve the issue concerning boric acid corrosion degradation of Davis-Besse's RPV Head, including disposition of the associated corrective actions, and performance of more effective periodic head inspections allowing for early detection of RPV Head degradation due to the increased size of the inspection holes. This will enable Davis-Besse to return to safe and reliable operation.
Page 7 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
B. Containment Health Assurance Plan Charter: Perform inspections and evaluations of Containment Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) and assure completion of required remediation activities prior to restart. This will ensure that the condition of Containment supports safe and reliable operation. This will be accomplished by using qualified inspectors and evaluators to characterize and as necessary, correct the condition of the following:
/ Boric Acid induced degradation sites
/ Containment Vessel
/ Containment Coatings
" Containment Emergency Sump
/ Decay Heat Valve Pit
/ Alloy 600 Material
/ Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking indications
/ Threaded and Bolted Connections
/ Fuel Reliability The purpose of the Containment Health Assurance Plan is to perform inspections and evaluations of Containment Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) and assure completion of required remediation activities prior to restart. This will serve to ensure that the condition of containment supports safe and reliable operation. To support this plan, an organization has been put into place to manage and implement activities, provide oversight, and provide the communications interface with external organizations.
The plan is focused on the extent of Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloy 600 welds in the Reactor Coolant System, and identifying damage that may have resulted from boric acid leakage and dispersion of boric acid in the Containment Building. The plan scope has been expanded to assess and assure the adequacy of several areas based on input from team members, operating experience reviews, and internal and external oversight. These areas include the Containment Emergency Sump, Decay Heat Valve Pit the Containment Vessel liner, the refueling canal, fuel reliability, and affects of boric acid on Environmentally Qualified (EQ) and non-EQ equipment, and Containment coatings. Action plans for each of these focus areas direct the actions necessary to meet the objectives of this plan. FENOC is using industry experts to assist in evaluating these focus areas and developing needed corrective actions.
Procedures, Work Orders, and Condition Reports are used to control field activities and evaluations, and to resolve issues. Inspectors attend training for specific procedures and work orders prior to implementing field activities. This training standard was selected to ensure all inspectors are gathering data with similar, thorough standards and quality attributes. The rigor employed in the development and implementation of the Containment Health Assurance Plan in conjunction with the verification activities being performed by FENOC, provides assurance that the Containment (as a whole) and the individual areas specified will be restored to the condition necessary to support safe, reliable operation.
Page 8 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
C. System Health Assurance Plan Charter: Perform reviews of system health prior to restart to ensure that the condition of the plant is sufficient to support safe and reliable operation. Three levels of system reviews will be performed. An Operational Readiness Review of systems important to the safe and reliable operation of Davis-Besse was performed. A System Health Readiness Review of all Maintenance Rule risk significant systems not covered by the more extensive Latent Issue Review process will be performed. Latent Issues Reviews of the Reactor Coolant, Emergency Diesel Generators, Auxiliary Feedwater, Component Cooling Water, and Service Water systems will be performed to identify any latent issues, and to provide reasonable assurance that these systems can perform their safety and accident mitigation functions.
The purpose of this program is to perform reviews of system health prior to restart to ensure that the condition of the plant is sufficient to support safe and reliable operation.
This will be accomplished using the following 3-step approach, an Operational Readiness Review, System Health Readiness Reviews, and Latent Issues Reviews.
Other measures that will help ensure the success of the Davis-Besse System Health Assurance Plan are listed below:
- A substantially new Davis-Besse management team with a demonstrated track record is in place.
- The FENOC Engineering Principles and Expectations were issued on July 10, 2002, and these new principles and expectations have been communicated to the system review team members.
- An Engineering Assessment Board was implemented on June 28, 2002. This board, largely made up of outside experts with proven high standards, will independently review selected products from the system reviews to ensure technical adequacy.
- 1. Operational Readiness Reviews The Operational Readiness Review is complete and was performed to identify whether systems havc significant shortcomings, and to initiate immediate actions to correct those problems. These reviews were initiated prior to entry into the IMC 0350 process.
Systems for review were selected considering system performance relative to the Maintenance Rule performance criteria, materiel condition, and operator burdens. The reviews were performed under the direction of the Plant Manager and included representatives from various site organizations.
- 2. System Health Readiness Reviews System Health Readiness Reviews will be performed on all risk significant Maintenance Rule systems. These reviews are more thorough than the Operational Readiness Reviews. These reviews are focused to provide reasonable assurance that these systems can perform their risk significant maintenance rule functions. These reviews include identification of the system's risk significant functions, reviews of testing or review of other information (like trending data) that assesses the system's ability to support the system risk significant functions, walkdowns, and reviews of Page 9 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
selected data sources. Problems identified during the reviews will be captured in the CR process. The Restart Station Review Board will review all CRs for restart requirements.
The original scope was described as selected Maintenance Rule and Technical Specification systems. Further evaluation has resulted in clarifying the scope of the reviews to include all Maintenance Rule Risk Significant systems not covered by the more extensive Latent Issue Review process. This is a risk-based approach that focuses plant resources in the highest risk areas. By performing these reviews on the identified systems, issues can be corrected that could potentially impact a system's ability to perform its risk significant maintenance rule functions.
Additionally, these reviews may identify programmatic issues that could impact other less risk significant systems and functions. As these programmatic issues are identified, CRs will be initiated and evaluations will be performed to determine if additional System Health Readiness Reviews should be performed. The Plant Manager will have final approval of all reports.
- 3. Latent Issues Reviews Latent Issues Reviews of the Reactor Coolant System, Auxiliary Feedwater System, Emergency Diesel Generators, Service Water, and Component Cooling Water systems will be performed prior to restart. The five systems selected for Latent Issues Reviews include three systems (Reactor Coolant, Auxiliary Feedwater, and Emergency Diesel Generators) with identified weaknesses and two systems (Component Cooling Water and Service Water) chosen based on their importance. The primary focus of these reviews is to provide reasonable assurance that these systems can perform their safety and accident mitigating functions. These reviews will be comprised of three major efforts. These efforts are the assessment of system attributes, review of various data sources, and walkdowns.
The collective significance of problems identified during the Latent Issues Review will be evaluated to determine if further actions are required. Problems identified during the reviews will be captured in the CR process. The Restart Station Review Board will rcview all CRs for restart requirements.
The Plant Engineering Manager and the EAB will review and approve the Latent Issues Review Report for each system.
The list of systems that will not have a System Health Readiness Review or a Latent Issues Review performed is included in the System Health Assurance Plan. A matrix that compares the various documentation/data sources that will be made available for review for the Operational Readiness Reviews, System Health Readiness Reviews, and Latent Issues Reviews, is also included in the Building Block Plan.
Inspections will also be conducted to look for evidence of boric acid leakage and degradation on systems outside of containment. These inspections will be performed as part of the System Health Assurance Plan. In addition to the materiel condition walkdowns being performed during the System Health Readiness Reviews and the Page 10 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
Latent Issues Reviews, a separate boric acid inspection of systems outside of containment will be performed in accordance with procedure EN-DP-01506, Borated Water System Inspections (Outside Containment).
D. Program Compliance Plan Charter: Perform a review of applicable plant programs to ensure that the programs are fulfilling required obligations, including interfaces and handoffs, and are sufficient to support the restart and safe operation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. Prior to restart, perform Phase 2 detailed systematic reviews of the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, Radiation Protection Program, and the Operating Experience Program. Prior to restart, perform Phase 1 baseline assessments of applicable plant programs.
NOTE: Nuclear Quality Assessment will be assessed utilizing the Phase 2 methodology, but this assessment will be conducted independent of this plan.
Program weaknesses were a major contributor to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head. The program weaknesses identified are:
- Standards
- Ownership
- Oversight We have identified the programs on Attachment I of the Program Compliance Building Block Plan to receive a Phase I or Phase 2 review described below. The programs receiving a Phase 2 review prior to restart that were identified as contributing to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head are: the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, and the Operating Experience Program.
The plan review process will use a two-phase approach.
Phase 1- Program Readiness Baseline Assessment Phase I performs a baseline assessment of applicable plant programs to determine if the programs are in a condition to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse.
The programs to receive a Phase 1 assessment are identified in the Program Compliance Building Block Plan. (Exceptions include the Probabilistic Safety Assessment, Boric Acid Corrosion Control, Inservice Inspection, Plant Modification, Corrective Action, Radiation Protection Program, and Operating Experience programs that will receive a detailed review prior to restart). The program owner assesses the program by completing a standardized questionnaire. The program owner then presents the results of the assessment to a Program Review Board, which includes independent, external personnel. The Program Review Board reviews the program utilizing a screening form.
Condition Reports (CRs) will be generated to document program deficiencies. The Restart Station Review Board will review all CRs for restart requirements.
Page I11 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
Phase 2 - Detailed Program Reviews Phase 2 is an integral part of the long term comprehensive Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan. This phase is an in-depth systematic review of the programs, which are identified in the Program Compliance Building Block Plan. This process evaluates programs in depth to ensure that the programs are fulfilling required obligations, including interfaces and handoffs, and are sufficient to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse. Phase 2 reviews will be completed prior to restart for the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, Radiation Protection Program, and the Operating Experience Program. The Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) was evaluated as a pilot for the review process. Condition Reports (CRs) will be generated to document program weaknesses and recommendations. The Restart Station Review Board will review all CRs for restart requirements.
E. Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan Charter: Conduct a thorough assessment of the management and organizational issues surrounding the degradation of the reactor head.
Create a comprehensive leadership and organizational development plan for the site.
This plan will include actions to be taken prior to and after restart.
A concise summary of the issue that led to the Davis-Besse RPV Head degradation is as follows:
Management ineffectively implemented processes, and thus failed to detect and addressplant problems as opportunities arose.
Using data from all the root cause reports associated with the head degradation, and other related assessments, the primary management contributors to this failure can be grouped into the following areas:
- Nuclear Safety Culture
- Management/Personnel Development
- Standards and Decision-making
- Oversight and Assessments
- Programs/Corrective Action/Procedure Compliance Several program compliance and program implementation failures were identified in the Root Cause Reports, including inadequate implementation of the Corrective Action Program. The actions to address the program and implementation issues are being addressed by actions in this plan as well as actions from the Program Compliance Building Block. Actions will be initiated from the Management and Human Performance Improvement Plan to develop the proper focus, behaviors and teamwork throughout the entire organization. These actions will consist of restart actions and actions to be taken after restart.
Page 12 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
The ultimate objective of the Building Block activities is to achieve and sustain excellence in the operation of Davis-Besse. The overall goal of this Building Block is to initiate a substantive and demonstrative change in Davis-Besse management.
FENOC realizes that achievement of this goal will take time, and not all will be accomplished prior to restart. The Building Blocks will ensure strong corrective actions are in place for restart, however, many actions must continue for the plant to have sustained performance. FENOC's goal prior to restart is to ensure that the plant, programs, and organization are sufficient to support safe and reliable operations.
Performance indicators monitoring the effectiveness of the actions taken will be used to demonstrate and track the desired changes needed for restart. Longer term corrective actions such as system reviews, program reviews, and implementation of the Leadership in Action principles will continue well after restart.
In accordance with the Program Compliance Plan building block activity, the plant programs will be assessed for proper management Ownership, Standards, and Oversight. The Program Compliance Plan performs a baseline assessment of applicable plant programs, as well as a more detailed program review for selected programs. Long term, follow-up assessments of the programs will be performed using the same criteria, and the resultant program health will be communicated through specific program indicators.
Reviews of specific departments will be done by way of Functional Area Reviews.
These reviews will be performed in selected areas in order to assess restart readiness.
Long term monitoring and indicator presentation of specific area or section health will be performed through the self-evaluation process.
The Management Observation Program will be used to monitor worker behaviors, performance, and plant conditions. This program will be updated to schedule management observations to monitor effectiveness of work activities and worker behaviors.
Review boards, such as the Corrective Action Review Board and the Engineering Assessment Board will be used to monitor various work products for appropriate standards. Performance indicators will be used to monitor resultant quality.
A Management Monitoring Process will be used to monitor and trend the performance of specific management oversight activities taken on an individual basis. These will demonstrate the level of involvement of individual managers Page 13 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
F. Restart Test Plan Charter: Perform Restart Testing necessary to ensure the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System and the Containment Pressure Vessel, and to evaluate proposed testing of systems and components affected by RCS leakage and boric acid deposits. In addition, develop an Integrated Restart Procedure to ensure that proper sequencing of required restart activities are accomplished prior to mode ascension. Provide operator training on this procedure to ensure that this infrequently performed test/evolution is conducted in a safe, controlled manner.
This plan has four key elements to ensure that comprehensive testing is performed prior to and during restart, and that restart activities have been completed to ensure the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station is in a condition to support sustained safe and reliable operation. These elements include:
- Testing the Reactor Coolant System (RCS), including components within the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB) and associated piping exposed to full RCS pressure, to ensure integrity following replacement of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head and maintenance of RCS piping and components. The leakage inspections include the reactor vessel head Control Rod Drive nozzles and the reactor bottom incore nozzles.
- Testing the Containment by performing an Integrated Leakage Rate Test in accordance with 10CFR50, Appendix J (Type A test) to ensure the integrity of containment following restoration of the containment pressure vessel.
- Evaluating the adequacy of proposed post-maintenance and post-modification testing on systems and components affected by RCS leakage and boric acid deposits and to determine if additional testing is required.
- Developing an Integrated Restart Procedure to ensure required restart activities, tests, and inspections have been performed prior to mode ascension.
The Integrated Restart Procedure shall identify the sequence of critical steps, procedures, and tests that must be performed to safely restart thc Davis-Bcssc Nuclear Power Station. This procedure shall also include the necessary administrative controls required to authorize mode changes during plant restart. In addition to the normal procedure approvals, the Integrated Restart Procedure shall be reviewed by the Engineering Assessment Board and receive concurrence from the Senior Management Team. Final authority to restart the plant resides with the FENOC Chief Operating Officer.
G. Restart Action Plan Charter: Administer the identification, coordination, monitoring and closure of actions required to meet all Company-identified objectives and requirements under the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan.
Page 14 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
The Restart Action Plan establishes a mechanism for identification, monitoring and control of restart actions under the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan. The Restart Action Plan also establishes a process and criteria for the evaluation, disposition, and closure of restart-identified actions and provides for the effective interaction with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) during the Inspection Manual Chapter 0350 Reactor Oversight Process. This plan provides for the actions that the FENOC Management Team at Davis-Besse will perform to ensure that the plant is restarted in a safe and reliable manner and that the long-term performance of the plant will be sustainable. After NRC approval to restart has been received, final authority to restart the plant resides with the FENOC Chief Operating Officer.
The Davis-Besse Restart Station Review Board has been established to identify and classify items to be included in the Restart Action Database through a review of Condition Reports and Corrective Actions received from activities identified by the six Building Block Plans. The Restart Station Review Board makes the determination of items for inclusion in the Restart Action Database and further classifies those items that meet NRC IMC 0350 criteria. The Senior Management Team approves additions to the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List, with final approval by the FENOC Chief Operating Officer. The Restart Station Review Board uses criteria that parallel the NRC IMC 0350 Restart Checklist criteria. Those items processed through the Restart Station Review Board that are not required for restart are managed in accordance with the Corrective Action Program and evaluated for inclusion in the Davis-Besse Operational Business Plan and/or the regulatory management system.
Action Plans from the Containment Health Assurance, System Health Assurance, Reactor Head Resolution, Restart Test, and Program Compliance Building Blocks are further evaluated for technical accuracy by the Engineering Assessment Board. The Engineering Assessment Board has been introduced at each FENOC site to ensure a high degree of technical accuracy and assurance of nuclear safety.
The Restart Action Plan establishes the phases of Planning, Discovery, Implementation, and Validation/Closure. Closure packages documenting the resolution of issues on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List, are prepared, validated, and approved, and made available for NRC review.
Restart Readiness Reviews are conducted prior to major plant evolutions in accordance with the Restart Readiness Review Extended Plant Outage Business Practice. This Business Practice includes detailed criteria for establishing the readiness of each Department or Section to support the specific restart activity. In addition, the Restart Readiness Review process performs an assessment of the safety culture of the Davis-Besse Organization using very specific criteria to allow Senior Management to monitor safety culture and determine what remedial actions must be taken for areas with unacceptable ratings.
The Restart Overview Panel functions to provide an independent oversight and review of restart activities as part of the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan. The Restart Overview Panel performs an overview of internal and external plant activities, advising the FENOC President, FENOC Chief Operating Officer and Davis-Besse Vice Page 15 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
President on matters relating to the safe resumption of operation of Davis-Besse and provides recommendations as appropriate.
The Davis-Besse Restart Action Plan shall be maintained through restart and until the NRC terminates the IMC 0350 Reactor Oversight Process. This plan is implemented by a procedure that provides details of the responsibilities and activities required to administer and control the Restart Action Plan Building Block.

V. Confirmatory Action Letter Status A number of actions to satisfy the CAL commitments are completed or underway. The current status of the CAL items is summarized as follows:
(1) Quarantine components or other material from the RPV Head and CRDM nozzle penetrations that are deemed necessary to fully address the root cause of the occurrence of degradation of the leaking penetrations. Prior to implementation, plans for further inspection and data gathering to support determination of the root cause will be provided to the NRC for review and comment.
Status: Applicable components and material were quarantined. Plans for inspection and data gathering to support determination of the root cause were provided to the NRC for review and comment. The area around Nozzle 3 was removed and shipped to the BWXT Laboratory in Lynchburg, VA for detailed analysis. A Root Cause Analysis Report was provided to the NRC on April 18, 2002 and a revised report was provided on September 23, 2002. Although the Root Cause Analysis Report is not expected to be revised, in order to support NRC research efforts as discussed between Davis-Besse and NRC personnel on November 1, 2002, the following additional specimens will be removed from the damaged reactor vessel head:
- 1) Approximately 8 inches diameter of head material unaffected by heat around CRDM penetration Nozzles 2 and 46,
- 2) Nozzle base material from any two of Nozzles 1, 2, 4, or 5 (heat no.
M3935),
- 3) Nozzle base material from Nozzle 47 (heat no. C2649-1), and
- 4) Nozzle base material from any two Nozzles 7, 12, 16, 20, 22-25, 27-29, 38-44, 48-55, 57, 64, 68, Or 69 (heat no. C2649-1).
Following removal of the material described above, the material will be shipped to Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).
(2) Determine the root cause of the degradation around the RPV Head penetrations, and promptly meet with the NRC to discuss this information after you have reasonable confidence in your determination.
Status: FENOC provided a Probable Cause Summary Report to the NRC on March 22, 2002. FENOC submitted the technical Root Cause Analysis Report to the NRC on April 18, 2002. Responses to NRC questions on the Probable Cause Summary Report were submitted by FENOC on April 30, 2002, and May 14, 2002. Davis-Besse staff met with NRC headquarters personnel on May 9, 2002, to review the technical elements of the root cause analysis. A revision to the technical root cause report, deleting the preliminary conclusions that were more fully investigated and documented in the human performance root cause analysis report, was submitted to the NRC on September 23, 2002. FENOC has completed a formal root cause analysis report of the human performance failure to identify the degradation, which was submitted to the NRC on August 21, 2002. FENOC and Davis-Besse Page 17 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 i
management met with NRC Region III management on August 15, 2002, to discuss the human performance root cause analysis report. The results of this report were also discussed at the NRC IMC 0350 Panel public meeting, which was held on August 20, 2002.
(3) Evaluate and disposition the extent of condition throughout the reactor coolant system relative to the degradation mechanisms that occurred on the RPV Head.
Status: On April 15, 2002, FENOC began implementation of its Containment Health Assurance Plan. The scope of this plan has been increased to encompass the overall health of the Containment. NRC review of FENOC efforts in this area is documented in NRC Inspection Reports 50/346;2002-009 dated September 13, 2002 and 50/346;2002-012 dated November 29, 2002. While inspection Report 50/346;2002-012 concluded that the "Davis-Besse Containment Health Assurance Plan" was effectively implemented, three unresolved items associated with corrective actions on components potentially affected by boric acid corrosion were identified. These unresolved items were associated with corrective actions for corrosion of electrical conduit, the bottom nozzles on the reactor vessel, and the containment air coolers. Additionally, at the time, apparent cause determinations with designated corrective actions had been completed for only a small number of the components potentially affected by boric acid corrosion. Therefore, the NRC was not able to reach a conclusion on the completeness or technical adequacy of your corrective actions for structures, systems and components affected by boric acid corrosion. Therefore, CAL Issue No. 3 will remain open pending additional NRC inspection of FENOC action regarding those unresolved items and corrective actions for identified deficiencies.
(4) Obtain NRC review and approval of the repair or modification and testing plans for the RPV Head, prior to implementation of those activities. Prior to restart of the reactor, obtain NRC review and approval of any modification and testing activity related to the reactor core or reactivity control systems. If the reactor vessel head is replaced in lieu of repair or modification, the replacement must comply with appropriate Commission rules and industry requirements.
Status: FENOC replaced the RPV Head with an unused RPV Head from the Midland Plant in Michigan. NRC review of the unused head is documented in NRC Inspection Report 50/346;2002-007, dated November 29, 2002.
Based on their inspection, NRC concluded that adequate records were available and required examinations performed to ensure that the replacement head was designed and fabricated in conformance with ASME Code requirements and that the original ASME Code Section III N-stamp remained valid. Licensing activities associated with the head replacement have been completed. The used RPV Head will be transported off-site for disposal. CAL Issue No. 4 will remain open pending NRC review of successful completion of the reactor coolant system pressure test and control rod drive performance test.
Page 18 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003 l
(5) Prior to the restart of the unit, meet with the NRC to obtain restart approval. During that meeting, discuss the root cause determination, extent of condition evaluations, and corrective actions completed and planned to prevent recurrence.
Status: FENOC submitted Revision 3 of the "Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit I Return to Service Plan" to the NRC on September 23, 2002. FENOC will submit its Integrated Restart Report which will summarize the root cause determination, extent of condition evaluations and corrective actions completed and planned to prevent recurrence. Prior to FENOC entering operating Mode 2, FENOC will meet with NRC to.discuss completed and planned actions as described in this Plan and to provide justification for restart. CAL Issue No. 5 will remain open pending that meeting and NRC approval.
(6) Provide a plan and schedule to the NRC, within 15 days of the date of this letter, for completing and submitting to the NRC your ongoing assessment of the safety significance for the RPV Head degradation.
Status: The Safety Significance Assessment was submitted to the NRC on April 8, 2002. In response to NRC Staff requests for additional information, FENOC submitted supporting information by letters dated June 12, 2002, July 12, 2002, and July 20, 2002. CAL Issue No. 6 is considered closed.
Page 19 of 26 Revision 6 March 31, 2003
VI. Conclusions FENOC is taking an integrated and comprehensive approach to complete the items in the CAL, address the causal factors in the Root Cause Analysis Report and AIT Report, and identify and implement restart actions and long-term actions to ensure that Davis-Besse is ready for safe and reliable operation and improved performance. FENOC is structuring its approach around seven key Building Blocks, including implementing documents. These plans have been made available for NRC review, and will provide the foundation for Davis-Besse's safe and reliable return to service. Lessons learned from the RPV Head degradation root cause analyses will be shared with the other FENOC plants as well as with the nuclear industry.

Executive Summary The Restart Action Plan establishes a mechanism for identification, monitoring and control of restart actions under the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan. The Restart Action Plan also establishes a process and criteria for the evaluation, disposition, and closure of restart-identified actions and provides for the effective interaction with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) during the Inspection Manual (IMC) Chapter 0350 Reactor Oversight Process. This plan provides for the actions that the FENOC Management Team at Davis-Besse will perform to ensure that the plant is restarted in a safe and reliable manner and that the long term performance of the plant will be sustainable. After NRC approval to restart has been received, final authority to restart the plant resides with the FENOC Chief Operating Officer.
The Davis-Besse Restart Station Review Board has been established to identify and classify items to be included in the Restart Action Database through a review of Condition Reports and Corrective Actions received from activities identified by the six Building Block Plans. The Restart Station Review Board makes the determination of items for inclusion in the Restart Action Database and further classifies those items that meet NRC IMC 0350 criteria. The Senior Management Team reviews the addition of restart actions to the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List with final approval by the FENOC Chief Operating Officer. The Restart Station Review Board uses criteria that parallel the NRC IMC 0350 Restart Checklist criteria. Those items processed through the Restart Station Review Board that are not required for restart are managed in accordance with the Corrective Action Program and evaluated for inclusion in the Davis-Besse Operational Business Plan and/or the Regulatory Management System.
Action Plans for the Containment Health Assurance, System Health Assurance, Reactor Head Resolution, Restart Test, and Program Compliance Building Blocks are further evaluated for technical accuracy by the Engineering Assessment Board. The Engineering Assessment Board reports to the Director - Nuclear Engineering and has been introduced at each FENOC site to ensure a high degree of technical accuracy and assurance of nuclear safety.
The Restart Action Plan establishes the phases of Planning, Discovery, Implementation, and Validation/Closure. Closure packages documenting the resolution of restart actions on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List are prepared, validated, and approved, and made available for NRC review.
Restart Readiness Reviews are conducted prior to major plant evolutions in accordance with the Restart Readiness Review Extended Plant Outage Business Practice. This Business Practice includes detailed criteria for establishing the readiness of each Department or Section to support the specific restart activity. In addition, the Restart Readiness Review process performs an assessment of the safety culture of the Davis-Besse Organization using very specific criteria to allow Senior Management to monitor safety culture and determine what remedial actions must be taken for areas with unacceptable ratings.
The Restart Overview Panel functions to provide an independent oversight and review of restart activities as part of the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan. The Restart Overview Panel performs an overview of internal and external plant activities, advising the FENOC President, Chief Operating Officer and Davis-Besse Vice President on matters relating to the safe resumption of operation of Davis-Besse and provides recommendations as appropriate.

Page 6 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
Plan Description Overview There are four significant phases of the Restart Action Plan process to be accomplished to return Davis-Besse to safe and reliable operations. These phases are planning, discovery, implementation, and validation/closure. Each phase is discussed below.
Planning: The planning phase is essential to ensure that all restart issues are properly and thoroughly identified and characterized during the discovery phase. In addition, planning ensures that personnel are properly trained and qualified to perform discovery activities. Planning is accomplished by development of:
- Building Block Plans
- Building Block Discovery Action Plans
- Implementing Procedures
- Restart Implementation Action Plans
- Training
- Schedules Discovery: This is accomplished by performing the activities identified in the Building Block Discovery Action Plans using implementing procedures, and by the day-to-day activities associated with Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering. Emergent issues and findings identified during the performance of the implementing procedures are documented on Condition Reports.
During the discovery phase, it is of utmost importance that all activities are performed and properly documented. This provides the needed evidence to demonstrate to management and the NRC that the staff and contractors at the DBNPS did what was expected by the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan and the Building Block Plans, and the work was thorough, accurate, and comprehensive in nature. It is also a requirement and expectation that issues identified either during discovery, or by the performance of day-to-day activities are accurately documented on Condition Reports in a timely manner.
Implementation: The Restart Station Review Board categorizes the Condition Reports identified during discovery, and their associated Corrective Actions. Corrective Actions classified as restart are planned as individual activities, or "binned" into Restart Implementation Action Plans to develop a comprehensive approach to managing numerous corrective actions of a similar nature. These corrective actions are intended to fix the physical plant (structures, systems and components), programs, processes and procedures, department functions, and management and oversight prior to restarting the plant. During the implementation phase, it is also important to accurately document what, how, why, when and who performed the associated corrective actions. This documentation allows the development of closure packages to demonstrate to the NRC that restart items have been properly completed.
Page 7 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
Validation/Closure: The validation and closure process involves a planned and organized method to gather and validate the documented evidence to demonstrate that the planning, discovery and implementation activities for Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List items have been properly completed or that post restart issues are understood and properly tracked to closure after restart. The Restart Action Database plays a key role in managing restart activities to closure.
Purpose The Restart Action Plan Building Block provides overview, coordination and control of restart activities to ensure the safe, reliable, and sustainable operation of Davis-Besse associated with the ongoing actions under the NRC 1MC 0350 Reactor Oversight Process and the Davis-Besse Return to Service Plan. The Restart Action Plan Team maintains the process for, and control of, the Restart Action Database that includes the Davis-Besse 1MC 0350 Restart List and the Davis-Besse Restart Action List.
The Restart Action Plan Building Block also provides a coordinated interface with the other Building Block Plans, including monitoring, validation and closure of restart items on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List. The Restart Action Plan Team administers and coordinates the activities of the Restart Station Review Board, Senior Management Team, and the Restart Overview Panel. The Restart Action Plan Team is also responsible for coordinating the preparation of the Integrated Restart Report and tracking post-restart activities while still under the IMC 0350 Reactor Oversight Process.
Organization The Restart Action Plan Team is part of the restart organization (Figure 1) and one of the Building Block Plans subject to oversight by the Restart Overview Panel. The Restart Action Plan Team consists of separate sub-teams to coordinate its various restart activities (Figure 2).
The Restart Action Plan Team Owner reports to the FENOC Chief Operating Officer.
The six sub-teams/boards of the Restart Action Plan Team are the Regulatory Interface Team, Restart Action Process Administrator, Restart Station Review Board, Senior Management Team, Return To Service Plan Administrator and the Validation Team. Each of the sub-teams or boards is headed by a lead or a chairman that has responsibility for the overall actions and products of the sub-team.
Responsibilities Each Building Block Team includes a Regulatory Interface Team member assigned to monitor its actions and products. This provides the Restart Action Plan Team with an understanding of the discovery phase of the Building Block Team activities that will define the corrective action recommendations from the Building Block efforts.
The Regulatory Interface Team is responsible for:
Providing an interface and liaison between the Building Block Teams and the NRC.

- Preparing agendas and providing administrative support including the generation of meeting minutes for the Senior Management Team and Restart Overview Panel.
- Maintaining the Restart Action Database and providing status/reports of items included in the database as necessary.
Page 9 of 23 Revision 5 Page 9 of 23March3,2003
- Distributing copies of Action Plans to appropriate personnel, and maintaining a central file of Action Plans and closure documentation to facilitate reviews by the NRC and oversight personnel.
The Davis-Besse Restart Station Review Board has been established to identify and classify items to be included in the Restart Action Database through a review of Condition Reports, Corrective Actions and other documents. A quorum of the Restart Station Review Board consists of at least four voting members, no more than two of who can be alternates, in addition to the Chairman or Alternate Chairman. Actions by the Restart Station Review Board are approved by consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, a vote will be taken with the majority vote being the final decision.
The Restart Station Review Board is responsible for:
- Review of Condition Reports using the restart criteria (Table l and Table 2) to ensure that the Condition Reports that identify issues that need to be resolved and actions that need to be completed prior to restart are added to the Restart Action Database.

Page 10 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
The Restart Overview Panel consists of three members of the FENOC Executive Management, the Vice President-FENOC Oversight, at least three industry experts and a representative of the Ottawa County government.
The Restart Overview Panel is responsible for:
- Assessing the comprehensiveness of Building Block Plans, Building Block Discovery Action Plans, and Restart Implementation Action Plans and their implementation.
- Performing independent oversight and review of plant activities needed for restart to ensure that Davis-Besse is ready to resume power operations and will be safely operated and maintained.
- Making recommendations for Return to Service for Davis-Besse.
The FENOC Chief Operating Officer is responsible for.
- Final approval of the Return to Service Plan and subsequent revisions.
- Final approval of Building Block Plans and subsequent revisions.
- Approving the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List and subsequent revisions.
- Approving all changes to the Integrated Restart Schedule that extend the completion dates of milestones or significantly increase the scope of the outage.
- Concurrence of Action Item Closure Documents as ready for NRC inspection.
- Acting as alternate Chairman of the Restart Overview Panel.
- Providing oversight and direction to the Senior Management Team.
- Final authority to restart the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.
Manaeement of Restart Action Database and Process Restart Action Database: The Restart Action Database tracks restart items classified by the Restart Station Review Board to return the plant to safe and reliable operation and to a condition of management excellence. It contains restart items from both the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List and the Davis-Besse Restart Action List. The long-term, post-restart actions are maintained in the Restart Action Database, and are evaluated for incorporation into the Davis-Besse Operational Business Plan and/or the Regulatory Management System. The Restart Action Database is maintained by the Restart Action Plan Team and provides the basis for review and disposition of items by the Restart Station Review Board and the Senior Management Team.
Page 11 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
Restart Action Review Process: The Davis-Besse Corrective Action Program provides the basis for the majority of the review process. Identified issues from either the Building Block Team reviews, emergent issues, or those identified by the NRC, must be documented on a Condition Report (CR) to begin the review and evaluation process.
The Restart Station Review Board reviews Condition Reports and Corrective Actions and makes the determination if the item meets the IMC 0350 Criteria by evaluating it against the criteria on Table 1. If the item meets one or more of those criteria, it is classified as a Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List item. If it does not fall within the IMC 0350 Criteria, the item is evaluated for restart from the criteria in Table 2. If pre-restart is required, it is included on the Davis-Besse Restart Action List. If pre-restart is not required, the item is evaluated for incorporation into the Davis-Besse Operational Business Plan and/or the Regulatory Management System and added to the Restart Action Database. Items not related to restart are classified as not applicable and are managed using the Corrective Action Program.
The Senior Management Team reviews the addition of new restart actions to the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List with final approval by the FENOC Chief Operating Officer.
Once the restart determination has been made and the corrective actions have been identified, the issue or action moves forward for implementation. The Engineering Assessment Board reviews actions from the Containment Health Assurance, the System Health Assurance, Reactor Head Resolution, Restart Test, and the Program Compliance plans. If additional issues or actions are identified, those new issues are referred back to the Restart Station Review Board for evaluation and restart determination. Once Corrective Actions have been implemented, closure of the restart item will occur. The Validation Team performs selected in-line reviews and acceptance of Action Item Closure Documents for items on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List. The flow chart of the Restart Action Plan Process is shown in Figure 3.
The Restart Action Database tracks the status of items on the Davis-Besse Restart Action List and the Davis-Besse [MC 0350 Restart List. This tracking process includes an identification of the responsible organization or individual for resolution of the issue, the scheduled completion date for resolution and the actual completion date.
The Building Block Teams generate action plans to evaluate either in-plant inspections of structures, systems and components, or programmatic reviews that generate Condition Reports, Corrective Actions, or reports that document the results of the inspections or reviews performed.
These reports may include recommendations for actions to be completed either prior to or after restart. Reports are reviewed by the Engineering Assessment Board for technical adequacy and completeness.
If the inspections, corrective actions, or resulting reports generate new recommendations for restart actions, new Condition Reports are written and evaluated under the Restart Action Review Process.
Page 12 of 23 Revision 5 March31,2003 l
NRC Inspection Interface Support for inspections by the NRC for the duration of the NRC IMC 0350 Reactor Oversight Process is coordinated by the Regulatory Interface Team. The Regulatory Interface Team assesses inspection activities as they are defined by the NRC Oversight Panel. Baseline inspections performed by the NRC may be assigned to the Compliance Unit to monitor, facilitate, and coordinate the inspection. Inspections related to Davis-Besse Return to Service activities and actions are coordinated by the Regulatory Interface Team. Larger team inspections may require adjusting Regulatory Interface Team resources to cover the scope and breadth of the inspection. This may include the addition of supplemental personnel for the duration of the inspection.
An Inspection Team Lead is assigned for each inspection. The lead coordinates all aspects of the support for the inspection, including the entrance meeting, interview schedules, daily briefings, issue resolution, and the exit meeting. A database tracks each inspection issue, documents reference materials provided to the NRC, and logs Condition Reports generated during the inspection.
IMC 0350 Restart List Closure Process Closure packages are developed for restart items on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List.
Closure packages include the necessary documentation to provide evidence that restart corrective actions have been satisfactorily completed. Closure packages are independently reviewed by the Validation Team and approved by the Building Block Owners or Responsible Director and then sent to the FENOC Chief Operation Officer for final concurrence, signifying that the restart item is ready for NRC Inspection.
Closure package development is the responsibility of the Action Plan Owners and associated responsible individuals identified in the action plans.
The Regulatory Interface Team is responsible for providing guidance and support in the development of closure packages and for maintaining a central file of closure documentation to facilitate NRC inspections and oversight reviews.
Validation of Closure Packanes The validation process ensures consistency and complete implementation of activities associated with the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List. This is accomplished through a review of documentation associated with selected in-process restart activities and Action Item Closure Documents. Validation will be performed on selected individual Condition Reports included in the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List, and on Action Plans and Building Block Plans. The validation process also considers the results of Quality Assessment oversight activities and Engineering Assessment Board/Program Review Board assessments in determining the adequacy for closure of items on the Davis-Besse IMC 0350 Restart List.
Page 13 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
Once approved, closure packages will be made available for NRC inspection and acceptance.
The Regulatory Interface team provides the interface with NRC personnel to facilitate resolution of questions or issues and documentation of final acceptance and closure by the NRC.
Restart Readiness Reviews Restart Readiness Reviews are conducted prior to major plant evolutions in accordance with the Restart Readiness Review Extended Plant Outage Business Practice. This Business Practice includes detailed criteria for establishing the readiness of each Department or Section to support the specific restart activity. In addition, the Restart Readiness Review process performs an assessment of the safety culture of the Davis-Besse Organization using very specific criteria to allow Senior Management to monitor safety culture and determine what remedial actions must be taken for areas with unacceptable ratings.
Page 14 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
Interface with Restart Outage Schedule The Restart Action Plan Team interfaces with the Work Management organization to include appropriate restart activities into the work activity schedules. This interface is imperative to ensure that those work activities identified within action plans are factored into the Integrated Restart Schedule.
Integrated Restart Report The Integrated Restart Report provides a summary of the restart actions taken at Davis-Besse.
The purpose of this report is to provide an integrated discussion of restart actions and to demonstrate that Davis-Besse is ready for restart. The general outline for this report is provided below:
> Purpose of the Integrated Restart Report.
> Background information, including a description and chronology of the events leading to discovery of the degradation of the RPV Head, a description of the as-found condition of the RPV Head, and a high level summary of the Return to Service Plan and Building Blocks. This section should include a discussion regarding the scope of work that was performed beyond that required by the 0350 process to ensure Davis-Besse is ready to restart.
> Summary of the safety significance of the as-found condition of the degraded RPV Head and related safety equipment (i.e.. Containment Air Coolers).
> Summary of the Reactor Head Resolution Plan and the results of implementation of the Plan, and demonstrates that the replacement head and restored containment will continue to be able to perform their design basis functions.
> Summary of the results of the Technical Root Cause Analyses Report, findings and corrective and preventative actions.
> Summary of corrective and preventive actions for root causes including:
- Summary of the actions in the Management and Human Performance Improvement Plan.
- Summary of the various oversight boards described in the Restart Action Plan.
- A discussion of the results of FENOC's measures for verifying the effectiveness of the corrective and preventive actions, including performance indicators and assessments.
- Description of the results of the Containment Health Assurance Plan and associated corrective actions (restart and post-restart).
Page 15 of 23 Revision 5 March 31, 2003 l
- Description of the results of the Program Compliance Plan and associated corrective actions (restart and post-restart).
- Description of the results of the System Health Assurance Plan and associated corrective actions (restart and post-restart).
- Description of the results of the Functional Area Reviews and associated corrective actions (restart and post-restart).
- A summary the Restart Test Plan and the results of implementation of the Plan to date.
- A summary of other significant actions taken (i.e.. those actions not addressed by the Building Block discussions) to ensure Davis-Besse is ready to support restart and sustained improved operations.
These summarizes will demonstrate that FENOC has taken appropriate action to address the causes and contributing factors and to improve performance, and has established appropriate barriers to ensure the adequacy of the work performed during implementation of the Return to Service Plan and associated Building Blocks, and demonstrate that the condition of the plant, programs, and organization are acceptable to support restart.
> A summary regarding the basis for FENOC's conclusions that the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station is ready for restart.

Summary of Revision Changes Revision 5: The changes in Revision 5 include the discussion of the newly implemented procedure NG-EN-00386 (Program Assessment, Ownership, and Development)
Revision 0 for performing detailed program reviews at Davis-Besse. This procedure discusses the ongoing program review process, subsequent to restart from 13RFO. This procedure will assure that programs are selected for detail review and reviews are conducted on a periodic basis, commensurate with plant performance (e.g., results of QA Audits, Industry Experience, Regulatory Performance). The selection of the programs for review are included in Attachment 1 and normally, three programs will be assessed per year. The change in the scope of the ongoing process and schedule is also reflected in this revision.
Revision 4: The changes in Revision 4 include removal of the Reactor Coolant System Unidentified Leakage Program from the list of programs receiving a Phase 2 detailed review. The program does not exist today, therefore it must be developed, or a similar type of program must be developed prior to restart. In addition to this change, the External and Internal Dosimetry Program was removed from the Phase 1 review list. This program will be reviewed as part of the Radiation Protection Program.
Revision 3: The changes in Revision 3 include the addition of the Summary of Revision Changes page, in accordance with NG-VP-00100, Restart Action Process. The Radiation Protection Program will receive a Phase 2 Detailed Review, which is an addition to this revision. Provisions were made to allow the addition of other programs for a Phase 1 Program Readiness Baseline Assessment, or a Phase 2 Detailed Review, without the need to revise this Building Block Plan. The schedule for Phase 2 Program Detailed Reviews was deleted in this revision.
General editorial changes were made for clarification of wording.
Page 2 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
Executive Summary Program weaknesses were a major contributor to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head. The program weaknesses identified are:
- Standards
- Ownership
- Oversight We have identified the programs on Attachment 1 to receive a Phase 1 or Phase 2 review described below. The programs receiving a Phase 2 review prior to restart that were identified as contributing to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head are: the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, , and the Operating Experience Program.
The plan review process will use a two-phase approach as discussed below.
Phase 1- Proaram Readiness Baseline Assessment Phase 1 performs a baseline assessment of applicable plant programs to determine if the programs are in a condition to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse. The programs listed in Attachment 1 will receive a Phase 1 assessment prior to restart (with the exception of the Probabilistic Safety Assessment Program, Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, In Service Inspection Program, Plant Modifications Program, Corrective Action Program,, Radiation Protection Program, and Operating Experience Program that will receive a detailed review prior to restart). The program owner assesses the program by completing a standardized questionnaire. The program owner then presents the results of his/her assessment to a Program Review Board, which includes independent, external personnel. The Program Review Board reviews the program utilizing a screening form. Condition Reports (CRs) will be generated to document program weaknesses and recommendations. The CRs will be evaluated to determine whether the corrective action should be identified as a restart restraint.
Phase 2 - Detailed Proeram Reviews Phase 2 is an integral part of the long term Comprehensive Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan. This phase is an in-depth systematic review of the programs listed in Attachment 1. This process evaluates programs in depth to ensure that the programs are fulfilling required obligations, including interfaces and handoffs, and are sufficient to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse. Phase 2 reviews will be completed prior to restart for the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, Radiation Protection Program, and the Operating Experience Program. The Probabilistic Safety Assessment Program (PSA) will be evaluated as a pilot for the review process. Condition Reports (CRs) will be generated to document program weaknesses and recommendations. The CRs will be evaluated to determine whether the corrective action should be identified as a restart restraint.
Page 3 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
Program Compliance Plan Charter Perform a review of applicable plant programs to ensure that the programs are fulfilling required obligations, including interfaces and handoffs, and are sufficient to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. Prior to restart, perform Phase 2 detailed, systematic reviews of the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, Radiation Protection Program, and the Operating Experience Program. Prior to restart, perform Phase 1 baseline assessments of applicable plant programs.

Phase 1: Program Readiness Baseline Assessment Purpose Program weaknesses contributed to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head in the area of standards, ownership, and oversight. Perform a baseline assessment of applicable plant programs to determine if the programs are in a condition to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse and to ensure condition reports exist to track resolution of program deficiencies. As such, this effort will review the following:
Standards
- The program attributes comply with those required by basis documents and commitments;
- The program attributes comply with the "spirit" as well as the letter of the basis documents and commitments.
Ownership
- The program goals and scope are appropriate;
- Interfaces and handoffs with other programs or work groups are positively controlled and effectively implemented;
- The program appropriately implements Operating Experience; and Oversight
- The program has an appropriate level of management involvement.
- The program has an owner who is properly qualified;
- The roles and responsibilities for program implementation are clearly defined and appropriately implemented.
Scope The USAR, Operating License, Technical Specifications, and the Davis-Besse Team Work and Ownership model were reviewed for programs along with contacting selected managers to identify applicable programs for review. Plant Programs that meet the criteria listed below and not selected for a Phase 2 Detailed Review prior to restart will be reviewed under Phase 1 prior to restart.
- a program that affects the operation of a Structure, System, or Component (SSC) with a safety function,
- a program that, if deficient or if deficiently implemented, could result in an adverse impact on the safety function of a SSC, Page 6 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
a program that, if deficient or if deficiently implemented, could result in a failure to prevent, detect or correct an adverse impact on the safety function of a SSC.
These identified programs are listed in Attachment 1. Programs that have been identified as under development or are in draft will not be assessed under Phase 1, but will be reviewed using a comprehensive review process discussed in NG-EN-00386 "Program Assessments, Ownership, and Development" following restart and completion of the program development.
Additional programs may be designated for a Phase I Review based on the recommendation of the Program Compliance Plan Oversight to the Davis-Besse Senior Management.
Methodologv for Phase 1 - Proeram Readiness Baseline Assessment The program owners for the selected programs shall perform an assessment by completing a standardized Baseline Assessment Questionnaire designed to address important program attributes such as ownership, qualifications, and interfaces/handoff control. The program owner will then make a short presentation and make themselves available to the Program Review Board to address questions and issues. The assessment shall be organized as discussed in NG-EN-00385 "Program Compliance Review". The Program Review Board reviews the programs utilizing a screening form. Condition Reports (CRs) will be generated to document program deficiencies. If the Program Review Board determines additional assessment of an item on the screen is needed they shall initiate a CR to direct the performance of a focused self-assessment. The Restart Safety Review Board will evaluate whether any of the CRs should be considered restart restraints. When the program is ready to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse, the Manager of the Program Owner shall make an affirmation to that fact. The Corrective Action process will be used to address issues identified during any step of the assessment process.
Reviews-Proaram Review Board The Program Review Board is a subcommittee of the Engineering Assessment Board and is intended to provide a high level of independence to provide a critical look at the programs.
The Program Review Board shall consist of personnel as defined in NG-EN-00385, Program Compliance Review.
Page 7 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
Phase 2: Program Detailed Reviews PURPOSE This review is an integral part of the Comprehensive Management and Human Performance Plan. As programs are reviewed, evaluations will be made about standards, ownership, oversight, technical adequacy, and performance indicators. This document provides a general methodology to perform detailed reviews of selected programs. Program weaknesses contributed to the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head in the area of standards, ownership, and oversight. This review is designed to ensure that the programs are in full compliance with the basis document(s) or that sound documented technical basis exists for any differences, the programs are fulfilling required obligations including interfaces and handoffs, and are sufficient to support the restart and safe operation of Davis-Besse. As such, this effort will review the following:
Standards
- The program attributes comply with those required by basis documents and commitments;
- The program attributes comply with the "spirit" as well as the letter of the basis documents and commitments.
Ownership
- The program goals and scope are appropriate;
- Interfaces and handoffs with other programs or work groups are positively controlled and effectively implemented;
- The program appropriately implements Operating Experience; and Oversight
- The program has an appropriate level of management involvement.
- The program has an owner who is properly qualified;
- The roles and responsibilities for program implementation are clearly defined and appropriately implemented; The Phase 2 review is a comprehensive review that evaluates the foregoing critical aspects of a program. In view of the broad scope of this effort, it is important to obtain outside expertise that will question existing conditions. To this end, outside expertise from other plants as well as contracted expertise will be involved in this effort to prove a high level of independence for these reviews.
Page 8 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
SCOPE Phase 2 performs a detailed systematic review of the programs listed in Attachment 1. Six programs were identified as contributors in the Root Cause Analysis Report of the technical causes of the degradation of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head (April 15, 2002). These programs are the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program, Inservice Inspection Program, Plant Modification Program, Corrective Action Program, Operating Experience Program, and Reactor Coolant System Unidentified Leakage Program. Detailed reviews of these five programs will be performed prior to restart. A program to include Reactor Coolant System Unidentified Leakage will be developed to address the current lack of an integrated approach.
A detailed systematic review will also be performed on the Probabilistic Safety Assessment Program as a pilot review to develop and test the detailed review methodology and the Radiation Protection Program at the direction of the Davis-Besse Senior Management Team.
Additional programs may be designated for the Phase 2 Detailed Review based on the recommendation of the Program Compliance Plan Oversight, to the Davis-Besse Senior Management Team. These additional program reviews may be designated to occur prior to or following restart.
Comprehensive reviews, selected from the programs listed in Attachment I, will be conducted as an ongoing effort as discussed in NG-EN-00386 "Program Assessment, Ownership, and Development".
METHODOLOGY FOR PROGRAM DETAILED REVIEWS The programs will be reviewed in accordance with NG-EN-00385, Program Compliance Review. The methodology is as follows:
Identify the program basis documents and commitments and determine the programmatic elements needed to fulfill the basis document. Review the program implementing procedure(s) and manuals. Compare the basis document requirements against the program implementing procedure(s). Compare the philosophy of the implementing procedures against the philosophy the basis document portrays. Determine if sound technical justification exists for deviations from the bases documents. Include in this portion of the review, consideration of applicable "Owner's Group" or Industry Group implementing policies or accepted alternate approaches to the basis document.
Page 9 of 14 Revision 5 March 25, 2003
Determine if the program is implemented in full compliance with the spirit and letter of the governing and implementing documents. Verify if the program goals and scope are appropriate. Review condition reports, self-assessments, Quality Assurance audits, Peer Reviews, and NRC audits, to include the time frame of at least the past three years, of the program under review to identify any previously identified areas for program improvement. (The basis for the time frame is that issues identified in self-assessments, audits, or Condition Reports greater than three years old generally have diminished value or no are longer valid because of changes in plant processes, procedures, and organizational structure.) Review corrective actions resulting from the program assessments and condition reports reviewed to determine if they were appropriately implemented and effective. Determnine if an appropriate-schedule for regular program assessments exists.
Identify key program interfaces and handoffs. Check the interfaces and handoffs to ensure that required supporting interfaces and receiving handoffs are addressed by the procedure of the interfacing programs. Review examples of the program execution. Look for areas that require "tribal knowledge" to be successfully implemented as opposed to procedure or program driven. Verify that interfaces and handoffs with other programs or work groups are positively controlled and effectively implemented. As appropriate, include interviews with groups impacted (interface and handoff) by the program.
Verify that the roles and responsibilities for program implementation are clearly defined and appropriately implemented. Verify if the program has an appropriate level of management involvement. Verify performance indicators provide an accurate indication of the health of the program.
- Verify that the program has an owner who is properly qualified. Determine if a sufficient number of qualified personnel exist to manage, implement and interface with the program.
Determine if qualification criteria have been established. Determine if appropriate training exists and has been completed.
- Review Operating Experience (for the past five years) external to Davis-Besse for applicability and potential impact to the program under review. (The basis for the time frame is that programs continuously evolve as better understanding of issues and new technologies immerge. Because of this continuous process the value in reviewing Operating Experience beyond 5 years is greatly diminished).

DBBP-VP-0002 TlUe: Remsion: Page RESTART READINESS REVIEW EXTENDED PLANT OUTAGE 03 Page 17 of 55 ATTACHMENT 8: ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY CULTURE Page 1 of 2 ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY CULTURE Assessment Summary:
Improving safety culture is a long-term activity that will be constantly monitored by Davis-Besse senior management. For Restart Readiness, it is important to show an improving safety culture, however not every assessed area must be white or green to ensure an adequate safety culture. Some areas may be yellow, however none of the three major areas (Policy or Corporate Commitment, Plant Management Commitment or Individual Commitment) will be red.
Remedial actions will be taken for any red indicators. Condition Reports will be written for all red and yellow indicators with corrective actions to identify an existing or new plan for improvement. Corrective Actions may take credit for already existing activities. Red indicator corrective actions will be formally presented to the Senior Management Team.
The criterion for ratings follows in Appendix A. These criteria are guidelines. Management may consider other factors and adjust the ratings accordingly. If other factors are considered, they shall be documented in an attachment to the Rating sheet. The ratings are based on convergent assessment such as: performance indicators, management observations, demonstrated performance during critical plant conditions ad hoc surveys, training and feedback from independent safety culture reviews and Nuclear Quality Assurance Assessments.
Safety Culture Commitment Area Ratings:
Green: all major areas are acceptable with a few minor indicator deviations White: all major areas are acceptable with a few indicators requiring management attention Yellow: all major areas are acceptable with several indicators requiring prompt management action Red: several major areas do not meet acceptable standards and require immediate management action Each Section manager will provide a Rating sheet (Attachment 8, Page 18,) with the Final Restart Readiness Indicators. At the final Restart Readiness Review meeting for any mode, a site-wide Rating sheet will be prepared by the Management Team using the individual section ratings as a guideline.
The final Rating sheet will be signed by the Vice President-Nuclear and maintained with the other Restart Readiness documentation.
Determination of the individual indicator or the commitment area color will be based on the following:
Red=0 points Greater than one red attribute or indicator means the indicator or commitment area can be no more than yellow 3 Yellow=1 point Rd<7 White=2 points Red=<.75 White=23 points Yellow= >.75 to <1.75 Green= 3 points White =>1.75 to <2.5 Green= >2.5

Operational transient is defined by INPO as a plant transient that occurs (reactor critical or while shutdown) and results in significant changes in primary or secondary plant parameters or results in 3 significant changes in mechanical or electrical lineups.
Significant is defined by INPO as an event which caused or had the potential to cause an appreciable reduction in plant safety or reliability, excessive radiation exposure, the discharge of radioactivity offsite or serious harm to individuals. The significance of a particular event (including the discovery of a serious deficiency, lies in the actual or potential consequences of the event or in the likelihood that it is a precursor to a more serious event.
