MEETING MINUTES: Internal IMC 0350 Oversight Panel Meeting Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station DATE: December 19, 2003 TIME: 1:00 p.m. Central ATTENDEES:

J. Grobe W. Ruland S. Thomas C. Lipa A. Mendiola P. Lougheed C. Pederson J. Hopkins R. Baker J. Lara M. Phillips Agenda Items:

1. Discuss/Approve Todays Agenda The Panel approved the agenda, but modified the order of presentations. THE APPROVED AGENDA REFLECTS THE ORDER LISTED IN THESE MINUTES.

2. Update Panel on RRATI Findings from Inspection Efforts J. Grobe updated the Panel on highlights presented at the RRATI Public Exit meeting.

The teams overall assessment was that observations of major plant activities revealed that the licensees operational performance is inconsistent. Some positive improvements were observed; however, there were violations of requirements, and instances of the staff not meeting the managements expressed expectations on procedural compliance. Further observations/evaluations will be required following the licensee reaching a better understanding of how to measure/assess performance, develop action plans, and define why corrective actions implemented following the first Mode change were not effective.

L. Myers has requested a change in purpose and topics for the December 29, 2003, public meeting, from a restart meeting to an update on the licensees action plans going forward.

J. Grobe provided an update on the results from the Management and Human Performance inspection Public Exit meeting. The team concluded that the licensee set up good programs, developed good tools for monitoring and assessment, and effectively implemented the Employee Concerns Program. However, the results of the November 2003 SCWE survey showed many areas down from the March 2003 survey results. Once these deltas are understood and addressed by the licensee, further assessment may be performed to support a final recommendation on a restart decision.

Following the exits, M. Bezilla said that Davis-Besse will not conduct a Plant heatup, or request restart, until these issues have been resolved. G. Leidich stated that these efforts would require weeks.

3. Discuss Resolution of Decision Criteria for Determining Remaining Actions Required to Accomplish Closure of Restart Checklist Items 3.a, Corrective Action Program J. Lara led a discussion on the open CATI technical issues. Three key items remain:

1) Fusing of long cable runs - the licensee has set a date of March 2004, for installation of fuses for the cable runs identified during the CATI inspection. The CATI team considers this item satisfactorily resolved, pending installation of the fuses.

2) Square-D Relays on the EDG - the licensee intends to leave these relays in place while pursuing a Vendor solution. The relays will be replaced following completion of the Vendor evaluation and recommendation. This should also be accomplished by March 2004, and the CATI team considers this item satisfactorily resolved, pending replacement of the relays. 3) HPI pump minimum recirculation flow - the licensee has submitted test data and responses to the questions posed by the CATI team member analyzing this issue. The CATI team member still has concerns on the pumps ability to meet the operability requirement of the design basis accident, which requires a 30 day operable run time for the pump. The licensee does not intend to use an operability evaluation for the pumps, and the CATI team member is continuing a dialog with the licensee to resolve this question. The CATI team does not consider this issue resolved; however, the issue will be tracked to closure under Restart Checklist Item 5.b, Systems Readiness for Restart.

Based on the CATI resolutions stated above for technical issues, the CATI team considers these open items closed for the purpose of supporting closure of Restart Checklist Item 3.a, Corrective Action Program. Therefore, the only issues remaining open which impact closure of Restart Checklist Item 3.a, are the CATI team concerns raised involving a review of the licensees Operational Improvement Plan for Cycle 14 commitments.

4. Panel Discussion/Approval of Action Plan for Closure of Restart Checklist Item 3.a, Corrective Action Program The Panel discussed what remaining actions are required to provide sufficient information to support a decision on closure of Restart Checklist item 3.a. The CATI team lead will review the latest revision of the licensees Operational Improvement Plan for Cycle 14, and compare the commitments given to the findings/concerns of the CATI team. Based on the review, and the remaining issues, the team will define what assessment is required to resolve all open issues and support closure of Restart Checklist Item 3.a. The results will be presented to the Panel at the next meeting.

5. New Action Items One new Action Item was added to the open action items list.
