The Panel agreed to postpone the triennial Fire Protection Baseline Inspection until 2004.

The Panel also determined that the objectives of the restart readiness portion of the inspection were satisfactorily complete except for one issue regarding management stability in the Radiation Protection organization. The Panel determined that to support closure of Restart Checklist Item 3.h, "Radiation Protection Program," another inspection is necessary to evaluate management stability in the Radiation Protection organization. The Panel directed that Messrs. House and Slawinski develop an inspection plan for an inspection to be conducted in the July 2003 time frame and present to the Panel for approval.
NEW ACTION ITEM - Plant Support Branch (Riemer) to arrange for Radiation Protection Inspection to evaluate stability in Radiation Protection organization effectiveness. An inspection plan is to be drafted and presented to the Panel for approval, including applicable Restart Action Matrix items, for an inspection to be conducted in the July 2003 time frame.
