UPDATE OF SALEM RESTART PLAN SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS~ 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS.: 50-272 AND 50-311 The purpose of this letter is to provide an update on changes to the Salem Restart Action Plans. Previously, in PSE&G's letter LR-N95211 dated November 24, *1995, we provided you with a copy of the Salem Restart Plan and the detailed action plans. We discussed these plans at a public meeting with you on December 11, 1995. Your letter dated February 18, 1996 indicated your review of the restart plan and subsequent closure of CAL items 2 and 3. In addition, you noted that Emergency Preparedness issues were not addressed in our plan.

Attachment 1 is the latest version of the nine Restart Action Plans. Most of the plans have had minor, or no changes. Those plans with significant changes include: (1) Conduct of Operations (section added on Emergency Preparedness, line item added for accelerated operator training, and other changes based on self-assessment results); (2) Human Performance (augmentation of the communications plan); (3) Work Control (more detail provided in this version); and (4) Corrective Action (separate section added on Operating Experience Review) . The Salem Restart Plan and associated Action Plans are living documents. We track progress on a weekly basis and update the plans based on experience and emerging issues. We are also developing restart performance indicators to measure our readiness for restart. As of the date of this letter, the Action Plans are approximately 70% complete.

Please note that the Action Plans are currently undergoing further revision to align with the shift in restart focus from Unit 1 to Unit 2; we will provide you these changes once they are finalized.

OPERATIONS

O.ions Restart Action Plan Introduction The Salem Operations Department has not been effective in providing adequate oversight of plant activities to ensure minimization of events and controlled plant operation. Operation's standards for equipment condition, communication and training are not adequate. This Is evidenced by the current materiel condition of the plant and the status of the operator training program accreditation. The fundamental conduct of operations must be restored through a comprehensive restructuring of our people and business processes to ensure safe and controlled operation of the Salem units. Reactor safety must be clearly established as our number one priority.

Objective The objective of this action plan is to provide an operating philosophy and environment that breeds sustainable operational excellence.

Expected Results Upon the completion of the Operations Action Plan, the following results are anticipated:

1. Clear expectation established that Operation's first responsibility is reactor safety. This responsibility will be met with safe and controlled operation of the plant.

2. Appropriate Standards for the Conduct of Operations established and effectively implemented.

3. Operation's leadership role in plant activities and ownership of plant equipment established. This will be evidenced by Operations' identification and prompt pursuit of plant problems and work arounds that interfere with or threaten safe and controlled operation of the plant.

4. Programs, Procedures, and Policies are adequate to support plant startup.

5. SNSS and NSS assume ownership of their crew's knowledge, skill level and training. Operator training program enhancements and departmental involvement result in the removal of the INPO probationary status from the program. Existing operator proficiency independently verified prior to plant startup.

6. A long term plan for maintaining adequate department staffing levels and qualifications is in place. Adequate short term measures in place to support plant startup. *

7. The Emergency Response Organization provides assurance that the Emergency Plan for Salem can be effectively implemented.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Restart Action Plan Introduction Salem maintenance has not been effective in achieving reliable equipment performance and materiel condition attributes of the station.

Degraded performance in this area is resultant from weaknesses in other maintenance areas such as corrective action programs, management oversight and controls, work management system and the preventive maintenance program. These weaknesses have been developed into six problem statements within this action plan.

These weaknesses were identified through a comprehensive review of plant documentation and reports including: NRC SALP Reports (1989 -

1994), NRC Special Investigation Team Report, INPO Evaluation Findings (1983 -1995), INPO Assist Report (1995), QA Maintenance Audit Report (1995), Regulatory Issue Matrix, Comprehensive Self-Evaluation of Maintenance Training Report (1995) and other internal problem reports .. The NRC and INPO documents provided the basis for the review, with the INPO Performance Objectives providing a framework to categorize problem areas.

Recurrent themes or problems became evident in several areas. These themes were compared to the context of the other documentation to

• ensure all major problem areas were identified. This examination revealed six major themes, that if addressed, would yield desired improvements in the execution of maintenance at the station. The Maintenance leadership team reviewed on-going corrective actions in current

. action plans to determine whether those actions would be sufficient to resolve the problems and preclude their recurrence. The leadership team then determined what additional actions would be required to resolve the problems noted. Corrective actions were developed and validated against the problem statements. The actions found herein are the result of several iterations of "what ir analysis and validation of corrective actions against the problem statements .

. Objective The objective of this action plan is to identify, correct and assess those deficiencies in maintenance to improve equipment reliability and materiel condition at the station.

Expected Results

1. The conduct of maintenance effectively supports reliable equipment performance, improved materiel condition and safe event-free operations.

2. Maintenance self-assessment and corrective action initiatives, and management oversight and follow-through effectively supports the continual improvement culture of the station. *

3. Maintenance department ownership of the training program results in a highly qualified work force to promote safe and reliable operations.

WORK CONTROL I*

Salem Work Control Process Improvement Restart Action Plan Introduction Emergent work, work package content, and process inefficiencies have limited work control effectiveness.

Objectives

1. Develop and implement an improved Work Control Program which effectively supports operations and reliable maintenance.

2. Identify and eliminate work control process backlogs.

3. Identify and correct work control interface areas inhibiting effective schedule implementation and productivity.

4. Identify weaknesses and upgrade the utility of work control support systems.

5. Improve process performance indicators for monitoring routine functions, backlogs, and process effectiveness.

6. Utilize an effective self-assessment process as an input for sustaining and enhancing the Work Control Program.

Expected Results

1. A functioning work control program in place which establishes ownership, responsibility and accountability for all process functions, and emphasizes the strong role of the-Operations Department in driving the process. The program should implement a Minor Maintenance process which provides an effective and controlled method of promptly accomplishing minor work outside the normal planning and scheduling process.

2. Work control process backlogs eliminated and process flows monitored and controlled to preclude accumulation of future backlogs. The corrective maintenance backlog validated, prioritized, updated to reflect Operations, Engineering, Maintenance and MRC screening for restart, and scheduled.

3. Work Control program interfaces between Planning and Scheduling, Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, Procurement and Material Management, Radiation Protection, and other groups controlled and functioning to support efficient schedule implementation.

4. Work Control process functions and management controls enhanced by effective support systems including the Management Maintenance Information System (MMIS) and scheduling hardware and software support.

5. A set of hierarchical Performance Indicators in place to monitor Work Control process functions and information flows which provides for timely identification of functions needing management attention or process enhancement.

6. An effective process control function in place which includes periodic self-assessments of the Work Management Program and the Planning and Scheduling Department as inputs for identifying and implementing process enhancements.

Problem Statement 1 The existing work control process requires better definition, structure and discipline.

Delays in equipment repair and return to service result from a lack of schedule adherence and work control process deficiencies such as insufficient work planning, inappropriate scheduling and coordination, and ineffective problem identification and resolution. Lack of schedule adherence has been attributed, in part, to poor quality work packages. A large percentage (in the 30% range) of work packages received by Maintenance are either corrected in the field or returned to Planning. Work packages are not issued to first line supervisors with adequate lead Page 1

SELF ASSESSMENT

Salem Self Assessment Restart Action Plan Introduction

. Salem has not been effective in establishing self assessment as part of normal business practice and culture. When self assessments have been performed, they have not been consistently effective in identifying problems, processes or programs that need to be .improved. This is measured by the number of weaknesses found by outside groups and by plant performance.

Objective The objective of this action plan is to develop the capability and acceptance of the Salem organization such that self assessment is used effectively and routinely to improve performance continually.

Expected Results

1. A new culture is established at Salem whereby 'self assessment' is an automatic and explicit step of every action by each employee.

2. Procedures are established to improve the usage and effectiveness of self assessments at Salem. They address day-to-day management and the peer observation program, organizational self assessments to support restart and annual self assessment plans for all Salem departments.

3.

• The Salem Station has comprehensive organizational self assessments that document its major performance weaknesses and the completed actions that address these weaknesses. The assessment documents will support the goals of a safe startup and reliable power operation.

4. The trends in Level 1 and 2 Condition Reports demonstrate an increased percentage of self identified issues and an increase in issues being identified due to raising standards and expectations.
