- Effectiveness of Program Trending
- Effect of Program Backlogs
- Effectiveness of Internal Assessments Activities, and
- Corrective actions taken in response to the NRC Special Team Inspection -
Corrective Action Program Implementation (Report 05000346/2003010)
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 19 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Some Organizations were not initiating Condition Reports (CRs) as required Actions to Improve Performance
-Review and evaluate the CR threshold initiation criteria
-Issue expectations directive to communicate and reaffirm CR initiation criteria
-Perform self-assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of CR initiation
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 20 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Process for prioritizing, scheduling, and extending work does not consistently support the timely implementation of actions to fix long-standing problems Actions to Improve Performance
-Create and implement a comprehensive Integrated Backlog Reduction Plan
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 21 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Review of open Corrective Action implementation extensions classified as non-restart should be conducted to ensure appropriate compensatory actions are in place Actions to Improve Performance
-Review backlog of SCAQ & CAQ Root and Apparent Cause Preventive and Remedial corrective actions to consider interim actions or accelerated completion
-Update CREST to require evaluation for and documentation of the consideration of interim action extensions
-Issue an expectation directive to have SCAQ & CAQ Root and Apparent Cause extension requests evaluate and document whether interim actions are required
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 22 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Davis-Besse has not aggressively worked to correct Corrective Action Trending Program deficiencies identified in previous self-assessments or oversight findings Actions to Improve Performance
-Benchmark other sites
-Enhance the Quarterly trend report
-Improve guidance concerning timeliness for performing and completing Collective Significance Reviews
-Develop & implement a site wide equipment trending program
-Develop a FENOC common trending program
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 23 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Improvement is warranted in the documentation of organizational Collective Significance Self Assessments with respect to minimal procedure guidance, expectations, documentation, documentation of CRs and overall performance rating Actions to Improve Performance
- Revise governing Business Practice to clarify expectations relative to documentation of Collective Significant Self-Assessment Reports
- Establish expectations for format, documentation and overall rating
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 24 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-The Self-Assessment Process does not provide a mechanism for identifying and correcting programmatic concerns or trends identified during the course of the assessment Actions to Improve Performance
-Revise governing Business Practice to clearly identify the need to consider the potential aggregate impact of programmatic concerns or trends
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 25 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Area for Improvement
-Additional emphasis is warranted on timely correction of items identified by self-assessments and Nuclear Quality Assurance findings Actions to Improve Performance
-Benchmark how other nuclear sites prioritize CRs from self-assessment and NQA findings and revise the governing procedure
-Perform a sampling of current self-assessment - as necessary and NQA-initiated CRs to determine if Davis-Besse is completing those Corrective Actions at a comparable rate
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 26 December 6, 2004 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Independent Assessments Corrective Action Program Implementation Positive Observations
-Systematic approach to Training of CR analysts and CARB
-CARB is effective with good consensus among members
