SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF AUGUST 20, 1992, MEETING REGARDING CORPORATE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM This refers to the August 20, 1992, meeting conducted at Carolina Power &

Light Company's (CP&L's) request at One White Flint in Rockville, Maryland.

The purpose of the meeting was to allow CP&L to make a presentation on its Corporate Improvement Program (CIP). A summary of this program was submitted to the NRC on July 23, 1992, in response to NRC concerns about the performance of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Brunswick). A list of attendees, and a copy of the CP&L handouts are enclosed (Enclosures 1 and 2).

The CP&L presentation followed closely the material in the handouts.

The CIP is still being developed and they expect to submit the comprehensive program to the NRC by the end of September 1992.

They agree with the NRC staff that the effectiveness of the program can only be discerned from the long-term plant performance.

CP&L will frequently update the NRC on the implementation and result of the program. This information is essential for Brunswick as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently placed the plant on the NRC "Watch List."
