July 19, 2004 MEMORANDUM TO: Brian W. Sheron, Associate Director for Project Licensing and Technical Analysis Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

/RA/

FROM: Bruce A. Boger, Director Division of Inspection Program Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

CLOSEOUT OF DAVIS-BESSE LESSONS LEARNED TASK FORCE (DBLLTF) RECOMMENDATION 3.3.4.1 The subject DBLLTF recommendation states:

3.3.4.1 - Review inspection guidance pertaining to refueling outage activities to determine whether the level of inspection effort and guidance are sufficient given the typically high level of licensee activity during short outage periods. The impact of extended operating cycles on the opportunity to inspect inside containment and the lack of inspection focus on passive components should be reviewed. This review should also determine whether the guidance and level of effort are sufficient for inspecting other plant areas which are difficult to access or where access is routinely restricted.

The Division of Inspection Program Management was assigned lead responsibility for the subject recommendation, which was required to be completed by August 2004. I recommend closing this action item based on the actions described below.

A review was conducted of inspection guidance pertaining to refueling outage activities. Based on this review, Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities was revised to include containment walkdowns and consideration of walkdowns in other restricted areas (IP 71111.20, Change Notice 04-011, ADAMS Accession #ML041280018, dated 5/6/04).

In addition, the inspection of passive component integrity is being increased in response to DBLLTF items 3.3.2.1 and 3.3.4.3, which enhanced inspection of licensee inservice inspection activities, including boric acid corrosion control.

The effectiveness of the regional implementation of these inspection procedures are evaluated annually and the results are documented in the annual Reactor Oversight Process self assessment SECY paper.

The revised inspection program document is attached to this memorandum.
