For the first quarter, the samples required to verify the licensee progress toward restart has matched up pretty closely with what the ROP requires for samples. This data reflects the we were one sample short 71111.05Q and 71111.11. It should also be noted that the resident staff used approximately 180 hours0.00208 days <br />0.05 hours <br />2.97619e-4 weeks <br />6.849e-5 months <br /> on Plant Status, approximately 170 hours0.00197 days <br />0.0472 hours <br />2.810847e-4 weeks <br />6.4685e-5 months <br /> supporting the 0350 process, and approximately 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> evaluating issues utilizing the resident inspectors special inspection procedure (93812 - resident inspection of restart issues).
Due to the special status of Davis-Besse as an 0350 plant, the resident staff focus was not on completing the ROP sample requirements, but to use the inspection procedures, in conjunction with W90086 (0350) and IP 93812 (resident special inspection of restart issues), to inspect the required activities to assess the licensee progress toward being able to restart the plant.
