Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
MEETING
SUMMARY
- BRUNSWICK This refers to the management nieeting conducted at your request in the Region II Office on February 17, 1993.
The. purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Brunswick Unit 2 backlog and other startup related issues. A list of attendees, and a copy of your slides are enclosed.
It is our opinion that this meeting was beneficial, in that it provided a better understanding of the Unit 2 backlog restart targets which were previously addressed during the management meeting on February 4, 1993. As agreed, your proposals regarding startup/ power ascension hold-points and PN-30 outage scope deletion process changes will undergo NRC review and approval.
Additionally, future meetings concerning rescheduled licensing commitments, as well as the use of Individual Plant Examination and Design Basis Documentation results, will be confirmed under separate correspondence.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact us.
Sincerely, Original signed by:
Marvin V. Sinkule/for Ellis W. Merschoff, Director Division of Reactor Projects

4 BRIEFING NOTES BRUNSWICK STARTUP READINESS ASSESSMENT Date: February 17,1993 The team consisted of 17 persons (12 CP&L,5 non-CP&L). Of the 17,10 have held SROs. The average nuclear experience is 26 years.
The team identified three startup issues and two near term, post-startup issues.
The issues identified for startup must be satisfac rily resolved prior to Unit 2 reactor startup.
ISSUES:
1.
STARTUP IS.~UE 1 AREA:
Ooerations issue The lack of management and supervisory involvement in evolution preparation and event followup, and a tendency by operators to react and respond to changes in plant status without analyzing cause and effset, have contributed to adverse conditions and plant events.
i
\\
1 2.
STARTUP ISSUE 2 AREA:
Work Schedulino and Coordination lssue Work activities are not being scheduled and coordinated in a manner that assures safe, reliable plant operation while continuing to improve the material condition and precluding operational events.
Approved procedures which identify work flow and work group interfaces do not exist that will support event-free work performance under power operation or outage conditions.
)
r BSRA Page 2 3.
STARTUP ISSUE 3 AREA:
Oraanization and Administration issue Existing plans do not scope the total work nor fully describe the sequence of work necessary to complete the outage, accomplish testing and restore the plant to full power operation.
r v
Note: The following are considered near term, p_Q11-startup issues.
4.
ISSUE 4 AREA:
PNSC lssue PNSC's ability to focus sufficiently on the review of plant activitios to detect potential safety hazards has been impacted by its deep involvement in screening outage work exceptions and in making work deferment decisions.
i i
I P
BSRA Page 3 5.
ISSUE 5 AREA: Corrective Action Procram issue Certain aspects of the Corrective Action Program require improvement.
Improvements are needed to ensure prompt identification and tracking of overdue items and to ensure events and their causes are adequately analyzed and trended.
