A suwnary of the discussions held relating to Peach Bottom is provided below:

During the Unit 2-phased power ascension, the NRC staff closely monitored plant operations, including 24 -
L hour coverage during. key evoluttows.
'The approach to operations was contro112d and cautious, with emphasis ou doing the, job correctly the first time.
The effectiveness of the new Shift Managers in safely-j conducting operattoric was par cicularly noteworthy.
There has been a positive' change in ottitude and approach to operations within the operstions department. ThehighqualityoperationsofUnit2duringpower ascension formed the basis for fully lifting the shutdown Order o' March L
I 1987.
The pipe replacement outage and subsequent startup on Unit 3 were noteworthy in their absence of significant events. The licensee's ability to assess its own performance, identify areas for further improvement and implement corrective action has repeatedly been demonstrated. This capability has significantly contributed to improved performance and NRC
. confidence in both corporate and station management.
An NRC Commission meeting open to the public has been scheduled for February Mr.
