DAVIS-BESSE RESTART STATUS This Information is current as of 5:30 pm (EST) on February 19, 2004. I The plant is in Mode 3 maintaining Normal Operating Pressure/Normal Operating Temperature.

(NOP/NOT - 532 0F/2155 psig). The licensee expects to maintain the plant in these conditions until restart.

The 0350 Panel activities remain focused on restart deliberations. The final SERP was conducted on February 19 for the High Pressure Injection pump Greater than Green issue, with a final significance determination of White. Region III plans to issue the final significance letter and Notice of Violation in the next 2 weeks.

LICENSEE ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO RESTART The licensee Is currently tracking outstanding activities that need to be completed prior to restart [Mode 2/1]. There are approximately 24 restart items. I

• Corrective Actions: 7 Condition Reports:

Field Work:

7 7

I

• Post Maintenance Tests: 2

• Surveillance Tests: 1 NRC ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO RESTART Below is a simplified time fine that describes the significant NRC-and licensee activities and milestones that are necessary for NRC to authorize restart.

These tentative dates are predicated upon the licensee successfully completing NRC pre-restart activities and demonstrating acceptable operating performance.

Key Agency decision points are annotated with asterisks (**) In the timeline below.

The outcome of each decision point could materially alter the timing and substance of the rest of the schedule.

The details of these activities are described in three internal NRC documents: the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel Process Plan, the Davis-Besse Restart Communications Plan and the Davis-Besse Restart Punch List.
