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

2. Discuss Plant Status and Inspector Insights and Emergent Issues List S. Thomas led a discussion of plant status and inspector insights and emergent issues.

Plant remains in Mode 5, and is currently in Orange risk with the Pressurizer at 25 inches, due to scheduled maintenance and testing. The licensee's current schedule shows dates for entry into Modes 4 and 3 during the week of December 8, 2003.

The licensee is resolving an issue with HPI Pump #2 lube oil pump flow, and evaluating data from the test run of HPI pump #2.

3. Discuss New/Potential Licensing Issues J. Hopkins briefed the Panel on the status of licensing issues. B. Bateman and R. Barret led a discussion on whether or not the fact that the bi-annual Steam Generator (SG) inspection is due by March 2004 should be a restart concern.

The previous inspection was completed March 2002, with the inspection results and assessment submitted to NRR in March 2003. A Request for Additional Information (RAI) was sent to the licensee and responses were received in November 2003. These responses were reviewed, and additional RAI questions were sent to the licensee at the end of November 2003.

The Panel decided that the issues concerning the 2002 SG inspection, and the remaining RAI questions, as well as the licensees responses, will be tracked under Restart Checklist Item 5.b, Systems Readiness for Restart. The responses from the licensee to the questions in the second RAI will be required to close Restart Checklist Item 5.b, independent of any subsequent submittal of a one-time licensing amendment relief request for the SG inspection due in March 2004.

4. Discuss Revision 3 to the RRATI Plan for Panel Approval C. Lipa led a discussion on Revision 3 to the RRATI plan. The Panel suggested changes based on the licensees current operational goals and R. Skokowski took the action to incorporate the changes into the inspection plan. The Panel approved the revised RRATI plan. THE APPROVED REVISED INSPECTION PLAN IS ATTACHED TO THESE M INUTES.

5. Discuss Final Draft Confirmatory Order W. Ruland briefed the Panel on recent revisions incorporated into the Confirmatory Order to ensure the Order is self closing without subsequent NRC action. W. Ruland also discussed the intended sequence of events for issuance of the Order to the licensee. The draft Order will be updated with recommended revisions and discussion comments, and presented for review at the next Panel meeting, Tuesday, December 9.

6. Discuss Update Milestones and Commitments The Panel reviewed and discussed upcoming milestones and commitments.

The Davis-Besse Oversight Panel developed a Restart Action Matrix (RAM) which identifies items requiring review and closure. The RAMs assigned to the RRATI are:

C SUP-32 (IP95003 02.03.b3)- Assessment of Performance in the Reactor Safety Strategic Performance Area: Key Attribute - Design: Determine if the System is operated consistent with the design and licensing documents.

C SUP-33 (IP95003 02.03.b4)- Assessment of Performance in the Reactor Safety Strategic Performance Area: Key Attribute - Design: Evaluate the interfaces between engineering, plant operations, maintenance, and plant support groups.

C SUP-35 (IP95003 02.03.c 2.a) - Assessment of Performance in the Reactor Safety Strategic Performance Area: Key Attribute - Human Performance:

Review specific problem areas and issues identified by inspections to determine if concerns exist in organizational practices such as pre-job briefings, control room team work, shift turnover, self-checking and procedural use and adherence.

The team will also assess the Davis Besse Readiness for Restart Checklist Items:

5.b System Readiness for Restart; and 5.c Operations Readiness for Restart.

IV. Team Inspection Plan A list of documents to be provided prior to the inspection is included at the end of this plan. The detail and depth of coverage in each area will be dependent upon actual licensee activities being performed during the inspection and any issues or findings identified during the inspection.

In preparation for this inspection the team will evaluate how operations department personnel performed during significant operational events that have occurred over the last two months (e.g., NOP). In addition, this inspection will incorporate the conclusions of the licensee's restart readiness review meeting, to allow for an integrated assessment of the plant's readiness to resume operation.

A. OPERATIONS The overall goal of this assessment is to verify that the plant operations department is prepared to conduct a safe startup and continued plant operations. The RATI will make this assessment by evaluating the effectiveness of several operations management control processes and directly observing shift operations. The RATI will conduct inspection activities during plant evolutions both during day and backshift periods in a 72-hour continuous control room observation period. The start of the continuous control room observation period will occur during the oncoming midnight shift. Three shifts will be assigned for 2300 - 0700 hrs, 0700 - 1500 hrs, and 1500 - 2300 hrs. The control room observations will include plant heatup and mode change.

7

Inspectors who are assigned to the control room (below) will document their observations on the attached "Control Room Inspectors' Log." This will be done during the actual time on shift. Oncoming inspectors will review the previous log entries as part of their turnover. The operations observations will be integrated and summarized to support the licensee daily debriefs and the exit meeting. These logs will be the primary basis for report documentation. As such, observations will be documented in sufficient detail to support entry into an inspection report and in the table in the back of the report.

For example, procedures observed need to be fully described, with the name, title, revision, etc. Issues with specific operators need to include their name and title/position during the shift. Positive and negative observations are to be recorded. Use extra sheets if necessary. Negative observations need to be completely described with supporting/reference information.

A.1 Control Room - George Wilson C Assess the effectiveness of shift turnovers. Determine if adequate time is allotted for the conduct of turnovers and if control room documentation (e.g., shift logs and night orders) is useful and available.

C Assess the sufficiency of pre-evolution briefings, including the planning for potential challenges and walking through procedures to implement in the event of such potential challenges, e.g. contingency planning.

C Verify that operating shift staffing is adequate to support plant restart. Determine the qualification and license status of on-shift operators. Ensure that the Technical Specification requirements controlling overtime and minimum shift staffing are satisfied.

C Assess the quality of the shift supervision and control room Senior Reactor Operators command and control. Evaluate access control and traffic in the control room.

C Determine whether operator training, including simulator usage, includes appropriate core characteristics and system response. Through operator interviews, control room 8

observations, and review of alarm response procedures, establish whether shift personnel are prepared to properly respond to abnormal plant conditions, instrumentation and control (I&C) set point and display anomalies, and the potential for a high number of challenges to safety systems during testing. Determine if operator training has been provided on recently modified systems or components where the equipment may be expected to operate differently than before modification.

C Determine the adequacy of just-in-time training conducted, to include direct observation of training sessions conducted where possible.

C Verify that equipment, including equipment required by Technical Specifications, secondary and support systems, is operable to support the current plant condition, pending mode changes, and power operations.

C By accompanying control room operators and by reviewing operations logs, verify that log-keeping standards and implementation are adequate to support plant restart.

C Assess the adequacy of annunciator response, number of continuously lit annunciators, and response to out of service equipment and components.

C Evaluate the status of control room annunciators, alarms, and recorders. Verify the acceptability of the licensee's methodology for compensatory measures for those indications not operating properly.

C Evaluate control room/plant operator awareness of equipment status. Walk down portions of selected safety systems and evaluate the licensee's configuration control practices. Confirm that valve and breaker positions conform to procedure requirements and that positions required by procedure are consistent with those on controlled plant drawings and system lineup procedures.

C Assess the ability of the plant staff to identify, prioritize, and resolve plant deficiencies.

Coordinate with other RATI inspectors to evaluate engineering/technical issues, concerns, or operability determinations.

C Assess any outstanding control room and plant deficiencies to determine if the current available plant equipment can appropriately support a safe plant restart. This should include an assessment of acceptability of the existing operator workarounds.

C Select two recent required reading documents and familiarize yourself with their contents. By questioning and discussing these documents with on-shift reactor operators and senior reactor operators, assess the effectiveness of the required reading program.

C Assess the ability of the plant staff to evaluate online risk for emergent conditions.

C Evaluate the interfaces between plant operations and engineering, maintenance, and plant support groups. This will be completed through observations of routine activities such as meeting, turnovers, surveillance testing and maintenance. During these 9

activities, the inspectors will note items where support from other departments is need and the inspectors will follow up to determine the adequacy of the support. Additionally insights will be gained through impromptu discussions with members of the various departments.

A.2 Field Operator Tours - Rick Skokowski C Accompany several auxiliary operator during routine rounds. Verify plant equipment status, concerns, or operability determinations.

C Select several safety system tag-outs for inspection. Determine if the tag-out is adequate for the work to be accomplished. Verify that operators are thorough in tagging and isolating plant equipment. Verify that tags are properly hung and equipment has been placed in the designated position. Determine if equipment status changes and corresponding entry into or exit from Technical Specification Action Statements are appropriately documented. Determine if the licensee has adequate controls to ensure the independent verification of equipment status, particularly when equipment is returned to service. Assess the adequacy of operability verification testing when returning equipment to service.

10

C Review two or more from each category of jumper, lifted lead, and other temporary modification logs. Determine (1) if an adequate technical review was performed before the plant modification was performed, and (2) if plant drawings were updated, as needed, to reflect the change before operators must operate the plant as changed.

Temporary modification reviews should include an assessment of the licensee's root cause analysis process and thoroughness of 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations. The licensee's controls for limiting the duration of temporary modifications should be reviewed. Assess the role of the plant, system, and design engineering groups in the temporary modification process.

A.4 Operations Quality Assurance and Self-Assessments - Dave Passehl C Review Operations Department, restart and power ascension plan assessments, and verify that safety significant issues that could impact a safe plant restart have been addressed.

V. Issues and Findings 13

The Risk Informed Inspection Notebook and the Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station have been developed and approved.

Inspectors will address the questions of Manual Chapter 0612 and process the finding through Phase 2 of the SDP as necessary. Green findings will be documented in the inspection report. Findings that appear to be "other than green" will be immediately discussed with the team leader, the licensee and the senior reactor analyst, to ensure that Davis Besse PRA information is correctly considered. Enforcement action for green or non-SDP issues will be handled in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.

Unless an issue can be shown to be greater than minor, additional inspection time should not be spent. If an issue appears greater than minor, then sufficient questions need to be asked of the licensee to enable the inspectors to confirm any assumptions and complete the Phase 1 and 2 worksheets. If a color cannot be determined by the end of the inspection, the issue will be described as an "unresolved item," pending final determination of the appropriate risk significance. Some flexibility will be allowed for documenting non-green observations due to the nature of the inspection.

VI. Documentation Inspection findings normally result in a number of questions being raised. These questions are to be given to the licensee verbally or, if written, the licensee must copy the information and the inspector must retain the written document. As part of the daily interfaces with the licensee, the team leader will go over the status of outstanding questions. Therefore, the team members need to keep the team leader informed of any concerns with timeliness or quality of responses to questions. Lack of response to questions will not be accepted as a reason for any delay in providing an input unless the team leader has been informed prior to the exit and the issue is one that will necessitate a writeup in the report. Any document requests generated on the day of the exit or afterwards must be approved by the team leader, must pertain to areas already inspected, and must be only for the purpose of ensuring an accurate document list entry.

Issues which the inspector deems meet the criteria for report writeups will be discussed with the team lead prior to preparing an input. Inputs are to be e-mailed to the team lead in accordance with the established schedule. All documents critically/deliberately reviewed will be included in the document list. Corrective action documents generated as a result of the inspector's questions will be listed separately from corrective action documents that were in the licensee's system prior to the inspection.

VII. Interface and Coordination Meetings Meetings with the Licensee Status meetings will be held each day during the inspection. Daily debriefings with the licensee will start on December 8, 2003. Team members are not expected to attend the daily debriefs unless there are significant or complex issues. An expanded debrief will be held with the licensee (excluding management) on the day prior to the exit meeting.

14

All inspectors are expected to attend the expanded debriefing unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Exit Meeting The team leader will conduct the exit meeting on a date to be determined. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, team members will need to attend the final exit meeting and be prepared to answer any questions that may be raised by the licensee. Team members are expected to provide the team leader with a summary of findings for use at the exit meeting.

VIII. Time & Labor Information This special inspection is estimated to require approximately 350 (+/- 50) hours of direct inspection effort. Approximately 75% of these hours should be spent as direct inspection. Charge to IP 93812 with IPE code of ER. Preparation and documentation for this inspection will use IPEs, SEP, SED, respectively.

IX. General Information Travel Charges All travel time is to be charged in HRMS to an IPE code of "AT".

Overtime Overtime will be approved to accomplish the objectives of the inspection. Any overtime spent traveling (although there shouldn't be any) also must be claimed in HRMS using the overtime code of "ADDLT".
