Docket No.: 50-244 AUG 06 1990 Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation ATTN:
Hr. Robert Smith Vice President Production and Engineering 49 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14649
Dear Hr. Smith:
Subject:
Licensee Engineering Initiatives Nuclear power plant licensees, industry groups, professiona'f societies, and the NRC have devoted substantially increased attention to nuclear power plant engi-neering program enhancements in recent years.
Hany licensees have undertaken significant positive initiatives in the engineering
- area, including design basis document (DBD) updates, safety system functional inspections, and other engi-neering program improvements.
In order to share experiences and foster a disciplined and coordinated approach to engineeting initiatives, licensees in the NRC Region V area have established an Engineering Hanagers'orum.
This forum has held several meetings since it was initiated in 1988, and has issued a formal charter plus two guideline docu-ments dealing with plant design basis documentation and other engineering pro-grams.
Appropriate liaison.has been provided with INPO and NUHARC regarding the forum efforts and guidelines.
The forum plans to issue additional guide-
- lines, on subjects which include engineering
- backlog, spare parts, and qualifi-cation of engineers.
Forum members have indicated that their counterparts in NRC Regions II and III are also in the process of setting up similar working groups.
I encourage you and other power reactor licensees in Region I to initiate a similar initiative, that would provide for the sharing of information and ex-periences involving engineering initiatives and solution of problems common to all.
A cooperative effort of this nature would promote efficiency and enhance the effectiveness of nuclear power plant engineering activities.
The current chairman of the Region V Engineering Hanagers'orum is Hr. John Allen of Arizona Public Service
- Company, telephone (602) 340-4181.
If you should de-sire additional information regarding the approach being taken by their forum, you
