SUBJECT:
COMPLETION OF CONFIRMATION OF ACTION LETTER COMMITMENTS
(CAL 50-269/91-01)
In a letter from the NRC to Duke Power Company (DPC), subject, "Confirmation of
Action Letter," dated September 20,
1991, certain matters were agreed to be
completed prior to the Oconee Unit 1 restart from the current refueling outage.
Additionally, you agreed to provide 24-hour operational oversight using
management. personnel on-shift until the NRC agrees this coverage is no longer
necessary.
A management meeting was conducted in the NRC Region II office on September 25,
1991,
to discuss recent events at Oconee Unit 1 and to also discuss actions
taken on the NRC Confirmation of Action Letter dated September 20, 1991.
Your letter dated October 14, 1991, requested that the requirement for 24-hour
operational management oversight be removed based on the following:
a. Specific corrective actions were taken related to rules and responsi
bilities of control room personnel and administrative control changes for
these personnel.
These controls have worked well since the Unit restart
and during a Unit transient on October 3, 1991.
b.
Periodic assessments by direct observations will be accomplished by
management personnel not normally assigned to a rotating shift for the
equivalent of at least one 12-hour shift each week for the remainder of
the calendar year and some of these observations will be conducted during
back shifts and weekend hours.
c. A team of operations personnel is being formed and will be reviewing and
evaluating watch standing practices and will be providing further
enhancements to operational activities.
